We used the lockers when we went on the Jet Ski tour and they were free! 

We did a late weekend cruise last August and it was hot & humid. We had some storms, mostly at night but it was fun to watch the lightning from the balcony. 

I chalked it up to the cruise I was looking out being sold out
I'll have to check back later 

I've been pro fanny pack since our trip to Universal in 2019

Bags are typically not allowed on the rides but three pronged fanny packs were so it saved us from having to stuff our stuff in a locker.

I bring it now for port days where I can keep our important stuff and leave the backpack for towels, waters, etc. 

I was thankful for this email since it caused me to reach out to my travel agent (shoutout Beth @ MEI) who found we still had some FCC that had been reissues (and I never got an email from RCCL) so yay this feels like free money right on the cusp of us hopefully booking a Bermuda sailing for July 

You pay for whatever the "day" count on your cruise is. If it's listed as "5 night/day cruise" you pay for 5 days 
I'm not sure for soda/mocktails but if I remember correctly espresso drinks were around 4-5$ so most was similar to on land. 

It really comes down to personal preference on the package if you think it's worth it for yourself & family 

I saw the drop for that 9/26 date and I was very tempted to jump on it. This will be our 4th time to Cococay 

Should be fine, I was able to link all our reservations in the app (even though they each have their own app on their own, 6 of us total) and complete some of the check in information and it updated even on their side. 

Prices for the DBP dropped back down to 62$ for my Freedom cruise in 2 weeks

Excursion prices in Cococay didn't change so glad I booked our jetski tour on the last sale 

We took a tour with Bernard's Tours when we went on our honeymoon, it was great and we loved it 
It was a tour of maybe 10-12 people, air conditioned van, drinks onboard (soda, water, rum punch)

We stopped at many sights including some time at Orient Beach for some swimming

Thank you both! I will look at contacting them! 

I'm taking my mom & her partner and my brother on their first cruise in about a month and we have a stop in Nassau that is basically all day. My husband & I went to Nassau in December and mainly stayed in the port area and walked around. Does anyone have a company they would recommend for a tour or to rent a buggy or something? There will be six of us and want to see as much as we can since not sure when I'll get the other 3 back to the Caribbean 

Any help or reviews (even negative ones) would be appreciated! 

we did not prepay our gratuities (yet, still waiting on RC to fix our FCC issue) and was able to book My Time reservations for 3 linked reservations (6 of us going on Freedom in Aug)

A 3 nighter is better than a no nighter!

My thoughts exactly!

For those who have already checked in - are you able to check-in and choose time slot without submitting passport info? 

Or submit current passport info and edit it later?

I was able to choose our "check in/wellness check time" separate from uploading our passport/regular check in 

30 days here! I am so excited even though its only a 3nighter 

We have six people booked for Freedom 8/20 and I was able to set us all for 1pm wellness check no problem 

My first ever cruise was on a NYE trip on Vision and it was lots of fun! We were exhausted but were happy to have party hats & hanging out around the ship. Its one of the only photos we have ever purchased was a group shot they got of us on the night all dressed up with top hats and tiaras LOL We had a special meal that night in the MDR that was more intricate than the regular "formal night" dinner. Would do it again if I could convince the family

Loving this! Debating booking a Freedom cruise for our anniversary next year! 

Just embraced the RCBlog motto and YOLO booked Anthem for Dec 1, 2019 

That's interesting to note, I just booked (in the last month?) connecting rooms for a May 2020 sailing and the per room price was the same as a regular interior on the same deck/area 

Just booked Oasis of the Seas out of Bayonne for May 24, 2020! 

When we were in CocoCay in October, I could get soda from any bar and it was in fact poured from a 2 liter 

@rickyz23it was a great trip! we had beach beds on Chill, they were in the corner alcove on the top left of the map 

This ended up being the windiest part of the island which was a little annoying but otherwise we had a great day

All advertised amenities, wonderful service and beautiful water 

The beds were spaced to give everyone privacy and a view of the water, only 3 rows deep 

We did Bernard’s last fall and had a great time. Did the tour with the beach stuff & felt like we got to see a lot of both sides of the island as well as get enough beach time to enjoy the beautiful water.
