  1. Yes, routine maintenance. It was closed last year around the same time for our cruise that included Labadee. We couldn't reroute to Coco Cay due it it being closed for its "annual maintenance" closer. Sounded like it was an every year for a week timeframe.
  2. Well I booked lunch and there was no gratuity added at check out? Not sure if it was a glitch or what. It was 29.98 for two at both hooked and chops lunch. Maybe it will add gratuity once on board after we eat there? This is for Star of the seas.
  3. I see that as Prime members we get a discount on WiFi it is my understanding that can only be used if we purchase onboard. Does anyone know is that cheaper than pre purchasing prior to boarding? Also we usually get 1 person 2 devices can you still do that onboard with the discount? Thanks!
  4. I am looking at booking lunch at Hooked and or Chops. I noticed that there is t automatic gratuity added in checkout. Do you just tip waitstaff in cash in those situations? We don’t carry much for cash. Or is it somehow included in the cost?
  5. We are booking Icon with our casino offer. Looking for opinions on Eastern or Western Caribbean? We have never done either. We will probably try to go June or July, it will be hot but I am scared of prime fall hurricane season. It is just me and hubby for this cruise.
  6. So I know that Jamaica isn’t a great port and we were planning on staying in the guarded area. However, due to not now being able to go to Labadee, and being replaced with sea day, we are now looking to possibly get off the ship. We only have two port stops, Nassau and Jamaica. In NASA, we are doing the pearl island and snorkel. I was thinking about the Hilton Rose Hall all day and inclusive. I see that is much cheaper through resort for a day. I know if you don’t go through Royal Caribbean, you risk being late for the ship leaving. Anyone ever use an outside day pass to go? Should I pay more to go through Royal Caribbean. Anyone go on this excursion at all with any reviews that would be willing to share? Anyone go on any different excursions? That would be willing to share?
  7. The map shows artisan Market, Showcase and Village. Which is the one to avoid? I do want to get some souvenirs and I saw on video to avoid the pushy vendors but there is a store that has things that is ok. We reserved a day bed in Adrenalin beach I believe. I see there is a bar and I am guessing food somewhere close as well, cafe I think. Is that a buffet place? Are there jellyfish at all here, I was stung in Coco Cay. Any other tips, hints. Thanks!!
  8. Decent sale on internet. My question, which I am sure has been answered but I couldn't finds it... If I do internet 1 person 1 device, both myself and my husband can use if we share the password and only one device at a time? We sailed in Sept and I didn't realize this if true and we just did one device and he was stuck without phone for the cruise because I didn't want to pay the larger bill of one person two device or two person one device. Hope the question makes sense.
  9. Anyone do the excursion with trip transfer from port to LAX? Seeing hollywood etc.? Says your flght needs to leave after 5:00, looking at flights that leave 4:20pm. Are they super strict about that, do you think it would be plenty of time still? I think it would be a great way to get to airport and see some sights on the trip there.
  10. For ease we just use the rental car. It is usually 6.95 and then tolls. Which this last time were 1.05. The most I think we have been charged is 12.95 total. I don't think that is very expensive like others have mentioned. It does take about a month or 6 weeks to get the charges on your credit card.
  11. We sailed on Mariner in Dec. Someone at the Port was directing us upon entry asking if we had expedited arrival. I wasn't sure and we opened our app and sure enough it said we did. We went in that line. If someone hadn't been asking we would have totally missed it. We then walked pass the ipad that scanned our face, spoke with a RCC lady that asked for us by name, went through security and upstairs. Once upstairs we again luckily found the signs that said expedited and after the gal checked our app walked through the large section of empty chairs and right onboard.
  12. I think I am in love! ?
  13. Waiting for transport to port. Mariner here we come!!! Will try to do a blog after we return!
  14. Thinking about walking ourselves to the John Watkin's Distillery. Any idea if it is a mild, easy walk? Best directions to get there? I won't have phone for directions on me. Does anyone know if the run is cheaper there or same price as the liquor store closer to the port. Just don't want to lug glass rum bottles for a long distance if we can get the same thing at one of the shops right by the ship. Also, any cool places to drink/eat. Anywhere else to visit other than straw market? Plan is to get off ship early and be back on ship for lunch. Thanks!
  15. Hello, I thought someone had posted an email to request a table with out other guests, but I cannot find it. We are sailing on Monday! YIPEE. I am a bit self conscious about eating so wanted to get a table for just us. Also, Monday is my birthday! YEAH! Anything special they do (dessert or anything else outside of dining on the ship when it is your birthday).
