Seriously, and that's hard for me to do, I cruise for the SHIP and the ocean.  I grew up in S. Florida, (Dania, FL) about a mile from the ocean, so I love the ocean.  The cruise ship's are amazing to me, especially the super huge Oasis Class ships.  So, I cruise for those two things, the ship and the ocean, I really don't care if I actually go to a Port of Call, I'm as happy as can be just watching the ocean go by and exploring the ship.  

Nobody asks me any questions other than what would I like and would I like any more and they do it with a smile.

and then Drink!!!

Use the gym or running track. 🤣

Yes I have had many excursions cancelled at CocoCay just for wind issues. If it rains all day, read a book or go to the bar, play BINGO. On your sea day the Capt will do his best to get you to nicer weather.

...or you could become a Geocacher...

Yes I was looking at this as well. Started freaking out I couldn't schedule 2 weeks out. My sail date is May 16th so I hope to get something the Sat or Sun before.

I always order the Royal Margarita. It has Patron tequila with a Grand Mariner floater!

the 4 night cruises are pretty casual. I wear nice shorts and a collard shirt to dinner (MDR and specialty dining)
you will see the full range though from people who are maybe tooo casual to people who are maybe a little over dressed but as long as they are happy and comfortable it no problem. 

BTW, after about 3 days on the cruise, my daughter and her husband were in the "Next Cruise" kiosk purchasing another cruise, a Star Class Suite.  I think they enjoyed cruising.  Now, they can't get enough of it.

This may be my fault. I was on a cruise in Feb on the Mariner. I was drinking the Royal Margarita till they ran out of Patron, then Switched to Crown, so maybe their inventory hasn't caught back up yet!!! Deluxe Beverage package woohoo!!!!😉

You must be a member of the Olympic Adult Beverage Drinking Team!

yall need to slum with some Seagrams 7

It surprises me that there are people angry they were on Anthem and tested positive either at the end of the cruise or when back home.  The current #is 15 out of a FB group of about 500. Of course that figure could be higher with those unaware they have Covid or those who don’t think/want to share the info, and those who are repeating their testing in a few days.
comments made are “masks went away too quickly” or “the passengers sailing % went up too quickly”.
I would think as adults we all have an understanding that “Covid happens”  and at any given time we expose ourselves, be it at a supermarket, restaurant, wedding, sporting event, school event, or on a cruise and we have an option to wear a mask as well as to not cruise.  Blaming the cruise industry for a choice made to cruise is ridiculous. (Not one person reported being masked the entire cruise-and even if they were they likely are in common areas when eating)
My other bone of contention is those who blame the staff with Covid for spreading this.  Yes, there are cases among the crew, but the crew is masked in our presence. I’m on my 2nd half of a B2B on Anthem and still see the same crew members at their stations.  Spread is behind the scenes in their stateroom areas, when unmasked. It’s  highly doubtful they are the ones giving it to passengers. 
 
I’m on my 9th cruise since August.  Each time I sail I’m well aware of the risks and know I have choices.  If I pick up Covid I most certainly won’t blame the industry.
 

Yeah, when I was there in Feb they were begging like crazy to come into their shops. For this, I like Coco cay way better, no harassment in the straw market.

I am sure they will be raising prices on a lot of onboard purchases soon.

The question is not where , but what, as in what drink do you have in your hand at the time! 🤪

Since re-buying is such a headache, I would just buy at a price I am ok with. It will always be cheaper than the on-board price.

My bet...  Unless there is a lull they may put you off to the side and wait until closer to 1PM.  Room access can vary but usually by 2PM.  Pack your bathing suits in a carry on and you are good to go.
