You should get tags to leave your bags out if you wish. They will have priority to be put out in the luggage staging area in the terminal.

Open in an incognito window usually will take care of this ?

I always pack dollar store emergency ponchos just in case. The only two times I've ever gotten rained in during a cruise were actually in Portland and Juneau. All my Caribbeans rains were quick sunshowers. Also know that the winter rains in the Caribbean don't tend to come with the oppressive humidity right before it rains which is a plus.

It does seem a little more gray and gloomy in the winter. It is a lot less violent than the summer rainshowers that blow through quickly and follow with sunshine. There is a weather system in the gulf that's going to hang around and send rain to parts of the southeast for the next few days. The ship will do what it can to go around storms and stay out of the worst of the weather when at all possible.

Royal will cancel me at any time if it benefits them..I like to think I can return the favor!

Refundable deposit is my reason!

It's like you read my mind...

Allure sailings from Galveston are open. Apparently they can't be seen by the travel agents or online yet, but you can call up the Royal Caribbean planners and book. @Hince57 ... get on it!

If you are talking about PC as a port stop, then you shouldn't have much of an issue with surge pricing. A lot of folks who are going on excursions are taking private transportation so you won't have as much competition for rideshares. You should have no issues getting an Uber or Lyft. I haven't docked there for a port stop, so I can't really attest to where you'll need to walk to catch the rideshares, but I can't imagine it will be difficult to find.

As long as the excursions don't overlap in time you will go back to the ship inbetween the two. If the times overlap, typically you won't even be able to book it in the Cruise Planner. You will be responsible for getting to the designated meeting place at the correct time for each excursion. It may be at the pier or sometimes even at a venue on the ship.

I absolutely loved the roller coaster. If you booked the beach beds on Adrenaline Beach you aren't very far from the coaster at all. You don't have to book ahead, but you can usually get the all-day unlimited pass if you prebook through the Cruise Planner for the same price as you will get a single ride as a walk-up. Kids under 13 must ride with an adult on the coaster,

Adventure isn't going to have an aquasuite unless that's something new I don't know about! ?

Nope. Royal Caribbean does not enforce the boarding times. You can be onboard and enjoying the ship by the time your "boarding time" rolls around ?

Terminal typically opens at 10am. The majority of the time you will begin boarding 10:30-11am, so might as well get there early!

Only new thing I'm seeing for Galveston is Adventure to Amsterdam Transatlantic.

Yes..the only time you don't get the double points is if you book in a solo cabin.

OP may have this coverage, but most CFAR riders on insurance policies do not cover 100%. Might as well try to recoup more than the typical 75% by selling the cruise to someone else.

@Lovetocruise2002 nailed it. That lowest price is based on double occupancy in the cheapest room allowed (interior GTY). It won't let you book solo and get the GTY..so you need to fake the 2nd person in this case to allow it and just get the port taxes refunded for your phantom 2nd passenger when they "no show" ?

Use a cheap 7day pill container to store them separately if needed.

I think he's on Oasis instead of Harmony for that one. It's conveniently a B2B with the other charter he booked the week before ?

Just watch your bag to make sure that it gets onto a cart. They should have the carts sitting there that the porter will walk the bags to. These are huge crates that hold a ton of bags and they get loaded directly onto the ship when they are full. At an airport I never check my bags at the curb. I always take them inside to the counter. Bonus is I'm usually flying from warm climates..I can wait inside in the A/C instead out outside in the heat at the curb.

This!!! ^^^ !! For the Villa I have booked it's only $775 to add additional people to the room. This room holds up to 14 people..so the per person price can drop significantly when you start bringing more people in.

There's a plain crispy chicken sandwich and there's one dressed with a special aoili sauce. There's also a hidden menu option for a chicken parmesan sandwich..basically they service mozzarella sticks there that come with marinara for dipping..top the plain chicken sandwich with that and a couple of mozzarella sticks and voila..chicken parmesan sandwich.

We probably won't really know until they are rolled out. I don't think all of the ships the spa cabins are going on have a scheduled refresh/refurb/AMP between now and the May 2021 roll-out, so they have to coordinate updating the cabins while the ships are occupied. Some things are quick and easy fixes (such as the new showerheads and decor) but they have to get furniture swapped out and overhaul the rooms piecemeal while still sailing with rooms occupied.

Times vary. You can consult past Cruise Compasses to get an idea. Since the area is multi-use, it's always being used for something so there is always an activity going on. When you get onboard you can go to the SeaPlex and they will have the schedule posted for the different times for that cruise.
