  1. I bring a good old fashioned watch and set that to ship time (just in case phone battery dies). I don't even wear it, I just either loop it around a belt loop or stash it in my day pack.
  2. I went to Blue Lagoon in February. It's quite lovely - there was only one ship in Nassau that day so Blue Lagoon was very, very, quiet and relaxing. I did the Eco Walk (it wasn't much of an Eco walk since there's truly not a lot of Eco on the island - frankly I knew more about the natural history of at least the birds on the island than the tour guide did, but he was very funny and I still enjoyed my time). I can only speak for Blue Lagoon - we met right outside of the ship as a group and walked down to the end of the pier to the boats that took us to the island. I didn't snorkel but I thought the beach was lovely and the water was clear. I spent most of the time walking the island or lazing in a hammock under the trees. Enjoy whatever you end up doing!
  3. Not only could the discount go away during that time, but the shore excursion *could* fill up.
  4. Pinging @Matt and @twangster - I don't remember.
  5. Not yet. It's in the plans for the future, but I don't think they've said when it will be available.
  6. I stayed in a promenade-facing room (not balcony, but not sure it would have made a huge difference) in Feb and it's one of those "never again" situations. It wasn't a bad room, but I really missed seeing the ocean from my room.
  7. It will probably be a while. Things were available to book for my Ovation cruise 8 months prior to sailing. Nothing is showing up, other than Perfect Day, for my Feb 2021 sailing on Symphony.
  8. Yeah... this will be stuck in my head all night long at work. I could probably use it to my advantage, hum it out loud all night, and drive my coworkers nuts. #winning
  9. Ha, yes. Yes it is. I can't wait to get there in June - it's my favorite city. We'll be retiring out on the Olympic Peninsula. One reason it's not so expensive is that it's a friend of mine, not a pet-sitting service.
  10. Yeah. It adds up though. Only the hounds will be any real work - it's mostly just the inconvenience of her having to live at the house. When I take the hounds with I can have someone stop by the house every other day for the price of a small Starbuck's gift card.
  11. She'll be pet sitting 4 of those huge dogs, a cat, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and 3 small rodents and fish. Yep, they are pretty big dogs! (Borzoi, aka Russian Wolfhounds).
  12. We currently have 5 booked, 3 of which are tentative because I have no idea whether or not I'll be able to retain a pet sitter (we'll see how much she likes doing it this June and if $75/night is enough motivation for her). I'd love to book more, but between the cost of flying and the cost of the pet sitter...
  13. I'll let you know. He actually found another brand that he wants (likely due to reviews of Relief Band). I can't remember what brand it is that he found. We'll be sailing in June.
  14. Sorry you're having to go through this. It's one nice thing about working with a travel agent - they fight the battle for you (I know, doesn't help you this time, but something to think about next time). Do you have a common name? Are they referencing the correct reservation number? My husband has a very common name and things get confused for him all of the time.
  15. You'll let us know what you thought of it, won't you? ?
  16. Oh good, because I have one on Navigator, too, lol.
  17. I booked the same cabin on Rhapsody (different sailing, maybe the opposite corner) for Feb 2021. I watched several YouTube videos on the cabin. People seemed to have been quite pleased with it. I can't WAIT!!!
  18. For anyone wondering, this is the same thing as Bonine - sounds like it works very well for many people (and is the ONLY thing that keeps my dog from puking all over the car when we travel).
  19. Ok. If you say I HAVE to take him on more cruises, I will. Seems to be the only sure cure. ?
  20. I only mentioned my results because it doesn't seem to be a matter of policy. But if it makes people feel better I'll retract it and say "just kidding!!! It's happening to me, too!" ?
