So there are currently 3 Cuban Cruises available on MyVegas - still available for anyone who has enough credits AND can sail on certain dates during June or July (I fit neither of these criteria, but someone might!)

I'd LOVE that itinerary! So would hubby, if it didn't include the long flight home.

I work overnights, so I'm always sleeping when the room is bright. This mask is my savior (it doesn't put pressure on my lids). https://mantasleep.com/ I also always keep at least one of these with me - it's nice because it's so compact and easy to clean. https://finalstraw.com/

I'm going on Ovation in late June. When I "mouse over" the Internet & More options, the photography packages do not show up. However if I click on it to open up the entire page, they are wayyyy down at the bottom.

They make it work pretty well on Carnival and Princess ships, though. So it can be done.

Welcome to the forum, Shawna! You're kind of writing it as though Royal Caribbean is reading it. ? Just be aware that the site isn't affiliated with Royal Caribbean itself. But I agree with some of your ideas! I love lazy rivers. But I would like them to put it on Coco Cay. A ship just isn't big enough to make a long enough one.

Yeah, my Oasis Lagoon Cabana also has the letter "G" on it. I'm really looking forward to the reports coming back from people going to the island over the next month or so.

Well, whenever you're able to share with us will be appreciated!

Well that's no fun! Will you be telling us all about your cruise (I hope!)?

Yeah, and then they'll change the restaurants for the American market. Ugh.

Awesome! I'm so looking forward to your trip (is that weird?)

I'm looking forward to following your blog. I can't WAIT to get onto Brilliance of the Seas for the Oct 2020 Royal Caribbean Blog Group Cruise!

I don't think you sound negative at all. I think it's natural to compare something familiar with something new. And you're pointing out things that someone else may not have thought to point out that will help others prepare. Plus I'm just laughing my *ss off!

@twangster - will you be live blogging this one? (please, please, please, please...)

Will anyone else from this awesome group be on the sailing? Raise your hands!

Each person who purchases The Key will get one internet code. You can use on as many devices as you like, just one at a time.

Ovation as well - she is changing to Seattle for the summer.

It didn't affect me (even though now my lungs are crap because my parents were chain smokers and I was trapped in the car all of the time with tons of smoke) - I could still be around it even if I didn't like it. I did have friends who did have major reactions to it though. To call someone a snowflake because they have to be hauled off to the ER is just disrespectful. Nobody chooses to have respiratory distress. Nobody wants 2 cops, 2 medics and 3-4 firefighters showing up at their house due to a respiratory emergency. Come sit along on some of my 911 calls where people can barely give me an address because they can't say more than a word or two because they can't breathe and then call them a snowflake.

Many suffered greatly and could not go out in public much, especially to bars and restaurants.

Yep, I'm aware ?

Yes, she's correct. I'm pretty sure that our bed on Ovation will be against the forward wall, and I'm kind of bummed. I shall survive, but if I find it to be the other way I will be VERY happy.

I was also going to mention that - we absolutely LOVED Portland, ME. My husband already has his eating and drinking places picked out for that stop, and we're still 531 days away!

@NJCruisers - yep, exactly. So you can see how there's the tilt in the wall in the forward cabin, which accounts for the difference in the photos. Enjoy your cruise!!

Because I'm a weirdo, and I'm right-handed, so when I'm out on the balcony and the ship is moving forward, and I'm looking in the direction of travel, I want the ocean to be on my right. (I told you ... weird). This rule does not apply when we are interior or ocean view. (Again, weirdo). And because I have confessed this to you, and pretty much everyone here, we are all now BFFs. ?

Or coming from Canada, since the cruise leaves out of Seattle ? But yes, adding that in if it's an issue.
