I use one with a sleeve so that I can just tap it to get into the cabin, also I keep a few singles in the sleeve for drink tips.

We bring insulated water bottles and make sure our room attendant brings us ice everyday so we have free ice cold water all day everyday and night in addition to all the free water and fruit juices on board.

It is a more picturesque drive than I have going via Alligator Alley. LOL.

There is a HUGE problem with choosing an Oasis class as your 1st ship. You will be forever spoiled and will not want to sail any other class of ships.

Well as someone who has been in the military, they already have my fingerprints and many photos and other documents with much more detail than I even have told my wife about. I think that those that are concerned with the facial recognition that customs are using are giving the government to much credit as to what ever nefarious plotting they may be doing. Similar to those that think the moon landing was fake, it would be harder to fake it than actually go to the moon. There is way to much data collected every day to do anything with it. They are only looking for those that are on the radar. If you are not a wanted criminal, terrorist or have connections to them, then there is no need to worry.

We are sailing on Symphony this Dec and the refreshment pkg states that Johnny Rocket shakes are included. I have heard that it differs from sailing to sailing and ship to ship.

Don't walk... the traffic is horrible and there is really nothing to see on the way. Just get on the hop on hop off taxies...$8 per person. then walk the center of town and take the taxi back. Stop at Bumpas for fried plantains and a pasty for a snack though.

We too are 1st timers to St Kitts and we have been told to take the train excursion, so that is what we are doing.

Heh...I always do MTD and get it as soon as I book the cruise or when dining opens up and get 6:30-7:00. Even if i get specialty dining I do that as soon as I board and get the 7:00PM at the latest.

I make reservations for MTD and never have to wait more than 5-10 min for my table. We also if we like the wait staff request to have the same table every night, so it ends up being a modified standard dining but at my time. There is always a long waiting in the no reservation line. I make my reservations as soon as I book the cruise to get the time I want to eat.

Awsome!!

HaHA...I love it...it is what we do, but even better we get a porter to take our bags and he just escorts us thru and even under the ropes to an empty facial scanner and away we go all for about $5-$6...easy peasy!

Exactly...winner winner chicken dinner!!

No, I have not, however when I last renewed it I started the process in April for a then next January sailing. So I had 9 months to get it done. I had my passport in about 3-4 months. I never was really concerned as I have my DL and birth certificate to use as backup. Nobody plans to fail but a lot fail to plan.

These are the same people that call me for refills with only 1 pill left. Why wait until the last minute to get these things done? It is not Royal's fault or issue. It is not State Dept's fault. I am sorry but you waited way to long to ask for help.

Last yr it was $7 per person all day.

If you have a soda pkg, you can get soda by the glass in the MDR, however not all flavors are available there.

That and we saved $1200...W00t!!

Not as good as you, but we saved $1200 on the switch from Freedom to Oasis the following week.

Heh... the 8 day to aruba is $67.99 and the 8 day eastern and Cococay is $83.99. Being Diamond I will just get the refreshment pkg and use vouchers.

Ok this was the Option ! from the Freedom sailing that was canceled due to dry dock.

Meh... nothing for me...I already have things booked for way less than this sale is showing. The things i have not booked yet are not even on sale.

Yeah we are in the same boat but to Dec 14. Michelle will be busy today.

So I had already booked Oasis and Apex in anticipation of this. Both were going to be $1k-$1.5 more. However If my TA can work her magic we will settle for Option 1 to save that $1.5. Really wanted to go to St Lucia but all the 3 were going to St Kitts and that was the real draw as I have been trying to get there for 3 years now. We should have gone in 2020 but Covid happened.

Same here... i would not pay more than $100 for it again.
