Not concerned about a vaccine, my deciding factor will be what the "new" onboard experience is.
 

Just thought I'd give MyVegas/MyKonami/PopSlots players a heads-up:
I was able to get a points refund on a reward I redeemed for a cruise I cancelled under "Cruise With Confidence". Now, I did book the cruise within the last 30 days, so I dunno if that had an impact, but I contacted PlayStudios support, they asked me for the redemption code for the award and a screenshot confirming the cruise was cancelled (I sent them a screenshot of it being cancelled in the "Cruise With Confidence" form), and they refunded the points to my account.
I dunno if any of y'all have rewards redeemed for cruises that have been cancelled by RCCL or that you've cancelled under "Cruise With Confidence", but if you do, I'd check with the support staff to see if they'll refund the points and cancel the award so you can redeem one later. The worst they'll tell you is no...which, of course, is not what we wanna hear, but...

There's a 3nt cruise on Ovation for 500k LP.  Vancouver to Seattle

Big sigh...still waiting for “free” Royal cruise.  If they don’t offer something in the next six months I’m probably going to cash in and try out MSC. 

There's a 50,000 coin 7-day Caribbean cruise up there now. Of course you'll have to leave on Monday. They've got a few others a little further out, but they are a little more expensive (125,000 - 250,000)

Yes.  2 free days each.

Side topic... I wish they would ban the aerosol sunscreens on the ship. Not only does a good portion of the product fly on to other people, it makes for a slippery surface on the decks. Many catamaran excursions have ban the use of the aerosol products to avoid slips and falls.

Some have asked where the new Terminal 3 will be located at the Port of Galveston.  First is a big picture view, followed by a more detailed view.

 

Beginning this weekend, the Port of Galveston has moved the cruise terminal entrance to 23rd Street to improve traffic flow to both cruise terminals.  I have updated the directions in my original post on this topic.
 

We booked the first two sailings, 4 and 7 day. 2BR Aqua. 

4 new MSC sailings being offered starting at 100k loyalty points. 

PSA: A new one is available currently for 50K - November 11/10/19 - 7NT - Says 10 left at 2:45EST

Good to hear. Actually going on NCL Breakaway in 9 days. The fare included deluxe beverage pkg, wi-fi, tips, 3 nights of specialty dining, excursion credit and obc. They even offered free airfare but I declined it since you were required to fly in the day if the cruise. I compared it to a similar Royal sailing and with the “free” perks that I would use or purchase we are saving almost $1500. 

They just gave away a ton of free cruises at their event tonight. This may delay any reward cruises available to the public.

God I love these apps - I haven't played any of them in a few months because I had plenty of coins and we aren't going to Vegas any time soon. I had around 675K gold. I signed on to each of the apps again, and they each gave me bonus gold! I had heard of that happening but I guess I never had a long enough hiatus LOL.  I now have 994K gold. So I will definitely be able to hit the million for the cruise if it is offered, yay!
So if you haven't played in a while, try signing on and see if they give you any free gold. 😀

Typically there are taxis unless you push your luck and purposely try to be the last people on the beach.  The safari taxis are shared, they will try to put as many people on as possible so they aren't driving around with just two people but there is a time limit on how long they can wait to add more, typically 10 minutes or less.

Yep, we went in August and paid $10pp for one of the shared open-air taxis over to Magen's. We left the ship at 10:15 and were at the beach by 11 BUT we walked to the nearby grocery store to buy cocktail-making supplies and our taxi also stopped at Drakes Seat to put oil in the truck (!!) so I expect it was probably only a 20 minute ride. The $5 pp entry fee is still the same once you get over there. We made arrangements for the same taxi to come back and get us at 3 and he was there waiting. 

Haha brilliant! That needs to be added to the dictionary! 

I am ready for them to offer “free” cruises again. 

You are doing an amazing job with the live blog and the Periscopes @Karahvacatimes! Thank you for taking the time out of your vacation to share with all us jealous viewers. 

I like that Billy too, oh wait, I mean Larissa!!! hahahahahahahaha

I thought you meant @monorailmedic and then I realized it could not possibly be him, because, well...it's Billy.
