    Have seen comments on problems with soda package. Including complaints on cups and ease of access. Does any recent travelers have comment? Traveling in October. Have bought package in past and looking to see if there is a drop off in value. Thanks

    We've had it the last couple cruises on Freedom and Independence...  no issues at all...  occasionally, the selection at one of the Machines is limited, but that's usually fixed pretty quickly by the staff.  All in all, it's been worth it for us.

  2. I would like to see both restrictions gone...  The Vax  shot is reportedly good for minimizing the consequences of getting the virus, but don't think it prevents the shot-ee from getting it (obviously, based on people getting it on cruises)....  I know from a business perspective, having shot-ed passengers keeps Cruise Lines out of the news (in case of unfortunate post-cruise tragedies)...   but really, I'm not sure it's not just Optics at this point with the shots.  (full disclosure, I'm 4x shotted).

    We just returned from the ABCs.  All three excursions were drive-around-the island, the Bonaire excursion being a last-minute substitute for a snorkeling excursion the operator cancelled.  I felt a little down because we missed the beaches, so pick at least one excursion that is fun.  Bonaire's shopping was very limited, but Aruba and Curacao are walkable into town.  We enjoyed Curacao the most, even got caught on the floating bridge when it opened.  Had a nice lunch at a local restaurant.  So I would say you should try the beach at Aruba, and divers like Bonaire.  Bonaire was a short port call (on board at 1:30 PM) but Aruba and Curacao were long days.  Thus, you can visit the town center in the AM and hit the beaches in the PM.

    Thanks!  I think we're looking at it this way so far...   Aruba - Beach/Pool Resort;  Bonaire - Snorkeling; Curacao - Touring, Eating, Shopping.  But, we have a few months to alter our plans.

  4. I know there's a lot of info on the boards for A, B and/or C excursions, but looking for some more recent experiences...  Any great MUST DO items that we shouldn't miss, or excursions you took that weren't worth it?  We're going in October on Explorer.

    Thanks!!

    One thing of note, Mariner was previously using terminal 1 in addition to terminal 5... it is now exclusively using terminal 5 so that should help a bit with the parking situation at terminal 1.

    That's great!  we're off on Indy next weekend so it's nice know we can park if we want to get a half day in at the office before boarding on Friday
