Hello, 

I am sailing on Harmony on 7/3-7/10 with my family and my brother’s family.  Our kids range in age from 11-14.  Does anyone know if they will allow the 11 year olds to go to the teen club with their cousins who are 14?   The teen club begins allowing kids in at 12 years old.  They are only 6 months shy of 12.  Just wondering how strict RC is on this.

Thanks!!

Hello,

We are traveling from Disney to sail on Harmony out of Port Canaveral in July, 2022.  Does anyone have any transportation options for us other than Mears?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone have suggestions from Disney to Port Canaveral other than Mears?  Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.  With the BinaxNOW test, do I arrange a telemed visit with RC when we administer the test?  

While I know July is far away, I need some advice on Covid testing before my Harmony cruise.  

We are spending a few days at Disney before our cruise.  We need a Covid test done two days prior to boarding.  Can anyone recommend how I can get a Covid test while in Disney before I board?  Can I do a home test?  Or does it have to be done by a testing facility?

Thanks so much!

Hello,

Can anyone tell me how strict RC is on the amount of people in a rented Cabana in the waterpark?  There are 9 of us and 5 are kids that will be off in the waterpark while the 4 adults relax in the cabana.  The cabana can be rented for 6.  Can we pay for the extra 3 to add to the cabana?  I've called RC and no one really can answer my question.

Thanks!

Hello,

I am traveling with my brother in July of 2022 on Harmony of the Seas.  Can anyone give me any tips on finding accessible shore excursions?  I emailed the special needs department and shore excursion department awhile ago, and no one has contacted me back.  Any tips would be appreciated.  

Thanks!

Boo to the Skypad closure.  :( 

Can I make reservations for the escape room onboard?

Thanks!

Hi All......

Does anyone happen to know about reservations that can be made ahead of time for entertainment on board Mariner?   I am sailing on her in July and am not seeing a place to make advance show reservations, skypad, etc.  Any ideas?

Thanks.

-Sue

Great!  Thanks. 

I wonder if anyone on this blog can help give insight on the beach wheelchairs?  How do you get one and what is the process?

Thanks again!

Yea!  We can manage that!

Thanks again.

Thanks Matt!  That doesn't look like much of a step at all to get into the cabana.  Am I seeing that right?

Thanks again!

Hi Jaullram.....

I was wondering if you could tell me the accessibility of the Chill Island Cabanas.  I am sailing on Mariner in July with my family and my brother's family.  My brother is a full time wheelchair user and would like to be able to escape the sun and sit in a cabana to relax.  Can you tell me or post pictures of the cabanas?  I am just trying to get an idea of if we can get him into one if there are many stairs or if it is very difficult for a wheelchair to navigate to a cabana.   

Thanks.

P.S.    I am sorry but somehow when I was trying to reply to your post, I think I shared it with the group again.  I am new to this blog! :)

We just got back from our cruise on Anthem this past Saturday and I wanted to give those interested e a little information on the Chill Island Cabanas because I couldn't find out much online before we left.

- The cabanas are amazing but there are definitely some that are better than others.  We specifically chose #14 which is at the end so we had less people around us....unfortunately, it had more birds!  The rock wall on the right of the picture is where the seagulls hang out.

- Next time, we would book book Cabana #9, #10 or #11. 

- Cabanas 8 through 14 are in the front row and 1 through 7 are in the back. 

- There are chairs on the left of the cabanas that are for suite guests and it is first come, first serve.

- If you have access to the Chill Island Cabana area (rented a cabana or are in a suite), there is an upgraded lunch buffet.  Our buffet had lamb chops, ribs, chicken, salmon, shrimp and scallop skewers, Maine lobster tails, hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, fruit, cookies, etc.  A lot of food!!

- There is no bathroom area in the cabana area but it isn't that far of a walk

- The beach is roped off for the cabana area 

- The snorkeling right beyond the roped off area was really good.  We saw hundreds of fish of all different types.

If anyone has any questions, let me know!!

Thank you Mrs Royal for the photo comparison! I have limited mobility & needed a better idea of the structure difference as well.I surmise the lack in photos is due to them not being built yet? We are traveling HOTS in June .Gosh, for the price I originally paid, Chill Island Cabana started at $749& dropped to $549 I think I am building one just with my payment! Haha. Oh, FYI, there is a “known discrepancy “ on the website with how many people can visit/stay/be addressed by the cabana person. I am only mentioning this, if you are having people “pitch in” for the total price. The highlights mention “ up to eight of your favorite people”,which I took as myself & eight others = 9 total. The important notes mention “maximum eight per cabana”. When you complete the order, there will be an option if you are close to your cruise date to choose SIX. I worked with Customer Resolutions for over a month, Eva got back to me & said it is capacity of 6 adults & 2 children?  Also, these Chill Island Cabanas have a cocktail table, speaker, combination lock lid for storage, USB outlet, private cooler that the cabana person keeps stocked with water, and towels for your guests.

@RTripp Hi RTripp....I noticed you mentioned mobility issues.  I have a question that I am hoping you can help me with.  My family and my brother's family are sailing on Mariner in July.  My brother is a full time wheelchair user.  It is a manual wheelchair which he navigates himself by wheeling with his arms.  When we co to CoCo Cay, we rented an ocean view cabana for the 9 of us since he will probably not be in the ocean as much of the rest of us and he wanted a shady place to be able to sit.  RC is not providing us with much information about accessibility of the ocean view cabanas.  

My question is......do you know anything about the accessibility of the cabanas?  Are there steps up to all of them, or are their ones that are accessible to a wheelchair user.  We may be able to pull his wheelchair up a few steps without a problem.  Also, is it difficult to get to the ocean cabanas?   I would appreciate anything  you may know to help us.  

Thanks!

Hello All......

Does anyone have any pictures of a beach cabana on Coco Cay?  I am cruising on the Mariner in July and we booked a cabana.  One person I am traveling with uses a wheelchair.  We were just wondering if there are many steps to get into the cabana and what the walking path is like to get to the cabana.   So, just looking for any information and/or pictures.   We contacted RCs accessibility department, but they do not reply with any information until our cruise date gets closer.  :(

Thanks.

Hi.......

I am thinking about renting a cabana on CocoCay for my upcoming July trip on Mariner.   Can anyone tell me how strict they are with the max of 8 people in a cabana?  I have a party of nine and 4 of them are little kids.    Just wondering if we can squeeze one more in.    Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks.

Hello.....

 I am cruising out of Port Canaveral in July.  Can anyone share with me transfer options from Disney to Port Canaveral and then back to the airport at dembarkation?

Thanks!

-Sue

Hi RTripp.....

Thanks so much for your reply.  I did notice the number of people on the checkout page.  We actually have 9 of us, but 4 of them are little kids.  So, I was hoping to be able to squeeze one more in.  I wonder how strict they are with numbers in a cabana?  Like I said we have nine, but 4 are little kids.

Hi All.....

I am sailing on Mariner in July and was just looking for a bit of information about CoCoCay.   Does anyone know if the beach bungalows and cabanas are wheelchair accessible?  Also, can anyone recommend a good location there to rent one of these?

Another question about Mariner..... is there a show in the theater on board that I can make reservations for? 

Thanks so much!

Hi All.....

In 2020, I am sailing on Liberty and one of my party members uses a wheelchair.  I believe the at least one of the ports of call require a tender to shore.  We are stopping at Cozumel, George Town, Grand Cayman and Falmouth, Jamaica.  Are the tender boats wheelchair accessible?  He uses a manual wheelchair that he remains in.  It is not an electric chair.  

Thanks.

Hi All......

 I am taking a cruise on Liberty in 2020 from Galveston.   I was just wondering if anyone can recommend transportation to and from the port from the airport.  I understand it is about an hour drive or so.  One of my party members uses a wheelchair, so we would need something accessible.

Thanks in advance.

Monctonguy....Let  me clarify.....my 8 year old is not comfortable going to Adventure Ocean alone.  She’s more than happy to go on a cruise!

Not to be critical..but  "or 8 yr old wont go"......what do you mean?

 

Your 8 yr old tells you what they will or wont do which affects your vacation?!.....wow, things have changed since I travelled with my parents..lmao

 

Your kid should do whatever their parents tell them to do...no?!

 

Hopefully someone here can answer your question......

Hi All....I am planning a short cruise next June on Mariner OTS.  My 8 year old would like to be with her 10 year old cousins at Adventure Ocean.  How strict are they keeping kids in the exact age group?  I hope they are flexible or my 8 year old won’t go.

Thanks!
