It's your SeaPass card on your wrist. Like a Disney MagicBand. This explains more. What are Royal Caribbean WOW Bands? In addition to Royal Caribbean’s traditional SeaPass cards, select Royal Caribbean ships* also feature WOW Bands. These ready‑to‑wear, water-resistant wristbands require just one tap, so you can quickly and efficiently navigate the ship. WOW Bands come equipped with RFID chips that enable guests to: Unlock stateroom doors Make purchases at bars, onboard shops, and lounges Access lounges (Suite guests and Crown & Anchor members) Guests who wish to use a WOW Band in place of their SeaPass card may purchase one onboard for $4.99**. Guests in Grand Suites and above (Golden Suites & Royal Premiere for Spectrum of the Seas and Quantum of the Seas) will continue to receive the WOW Bands in their staterooms at no charge. WOW Bands are not reusable and are unique to each sailing. For departure and boarding the ship in ports, guests will need a SeaPass card. * Wow Bands are only available on Symphony of the Seas®, Harmony of the Seas®, Ovation of the Seas®, Anthem of the Seas®, Quantum of the Seas®, and Spectrum of the Seas®. ** Port taxes will be applied. Purchase price is subject to change without notice.

Good choice. It's worth the cost. You won't regret it. And watch out for state troopers on Alligator Alley.

Have you looked into parking at the port parking garage?

From @Matt a few months ago. Hope this helps. Photo tour of the beach cabanas at Nellie's Beach on Labadee IN: Labadee By: Matt Hochberg At Royal Caribbean's private destination of Labadee, guests can reserve a cabana at Nellie's Beach to enjoy a secluded beach experience. The cabanas have become very popular with guests, and we had the chance to try the beach cabanas on a recent visit. There are two types of cabanas available: over the water and beach cabanas. In the past, we have rented the over the water cabanas, but wanted to try the beach cabanas. The beach cabanas are recessed at the rear of the beach, in a secluded area. Beach cabanas cost $395 (for up to six guests). Unlike the beach cabanas at the suite-only Barefoot Beach, the beach cabanas at Nellie's Beach are located in a private area, separated by a short wall. There are two sub-types of beach cabanas: regular and handicap accessible. The handicap accessible cabanas feature a ramp instead of stairs that lead to the cabana. All the Labadee cabanas are equipped with two lounge chairs and a large seating area inside the cabana that features a fan and electric outlets. Cabana guest also get to enjoy complimentary bottles of water (in a cooler), two floating beach mats, snorkeling gear and towels. A cabana attendant is also assigned to you, who can assist you with any requests you may have. Part of the reason we booked the beach cabanas instead of the over the water cabanas is because the over the water cabanas have a private staircase leading to the water, which is a bit too steep for my young children to navigate. The beach cabanas lead to the ocean via the beach, which was very easy for the kids. Cabana guests at Nellie's Beach also have access to private golf cart transportation. Simply indicate to your cabana attendant that you would like to go somewhere (back to the ship, to the buffet, shore excursions, etc) and a golf cart will be brought to your cabana for your comfort and then you will be driven to your destination. In short, we really enjoyed the beach cabanas at Nellie's Beach. The over the water cabanas offer arguably a better view, but the beach cabanas still provide privacy and come in $100 cheaper. For families that want a private beach experience, the beach cabanas at Nellie's Beach are a great choice. 99 Other Posts You May Enjoy: Barefoot Beach Cabanas on Royal Caribbean's Labadee Nellie's Beach Cabanas on Royal Caribbean's Labadee

Agree with @WAAAYTOOO, and don't think she's got her cruise lines mixed up. Been on multiple RC cruises. Never had/seen a time limit between drinks. At some bars, after getting my beer, I'm done before my wife gets her drink and I've been able to get second one right then, card scanned, no charge. And are you saying you use his card to get drinks for yourself and vice versa? Or are one of you using both cards at the same time to get drinks for both of you?

I think that product is ok. They don't allow extension cord type power strips. But I'm sure you'll get many responses to your question and suggestions for other types to use.

Symphony, 2 May 20. Paid less in Dec. Symphony, 21 Nov 20. Don't think we're going in Nov. at that price.

No Zip Line , in their words "This feature crosses above Thrill Waterpark℠ but is separate from the park, with its own cost." Not sure about balloon but probably the same. They want as much money from you as possible.

Have done Navigator and all Oasis class ships. We both like the bigger ones for everything to do on-board. My wife also liked Navigator for the ports we went to. Like @WAAAYTOOO and @Lovetocruise2002 have said, it's about what you're looking for.

Didn't even know that was a thing. Had to Google it and there are so many recipes for it. That's so wrong.??

Wondering the same thing. We were on the same cruise. Walked right by her 1 night when they were on a film break. I thought they were filming an RC commercial, no my wife says, she's that Hallmark actress. Still didn't know who she was until we watched the movie, (my wife is a big Hallmark movie fan, she tapes them all) and I realized, "Hey, we were on that cruise!" LOL.

Art! Found this in an article. On Symphony, the car is a Volkswagon beetle that has been crushed into a round ball, thus becoming a sculpture rather than a classic car.

Found these. Only 2 on 21 July, Oasis, Mariner. Independence on 24 July.

How does that work? Celebrity cruises also, yes?

From Grammarphobia. Q: Why do we have two words for a small island—“key” and “cay”? And are they related to “quay,” the word for a wharf? A: “Key” and “cay” are just different spellings of the same 17th-century word for a small, low island, especially in the Caribbean or off the coast of Florida. “Key” is more common in Florida and “cay” in the Caribbean, and it’s likely that local customs and place names have kept the different spellings alive. As we’ll explain later, both of them are probably derived from “quay,” a word from French that means a wharf. First let’s talk about the pronunciations. “Key” is pronounced KEE, like the unrelated word for something that opens a lock. “Cay” is usually pronounced the same way (KEE), but some dictionaries give an alternate pronunciation, KAY. “Quay” was originally pronounced KEE, and that’s still the preferred pronunciation (it was once spelled “key”). Some dictionaries give only that pronunciation, though in American English two variant pronunciations are recognized as standard: KAY and KWAY.

Look at the really small print bottom left under day 5.

Making money, retired....My wife.

Just posted this on another thread, showing just 2.

Found these showing just 2.

Found this. Believe it's fairly current. Hope it helps. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.cruisewithgambee.com/royal-caribbean-spa-prices-2/&ved=2ahUKEwiKncPQ5YjnAhVlvFkKHW0VCp4QtaYDegQIARAY&usg=AOvVaw05f9MYDfagnWFK_RFoc71F

From one of @Matt's old blog articles. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2013/09/19/best-ways-be-romantic-royal-caribbean-cruise&ved=2ahUKEwi6zJDSzYjnAhXiuFkKHQ_hAHkQFjAPegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw3izvl0VDicm0XR28fleonu&cshid=1579195041001 But like previously said, it's what you make of it and the effort you put into it. Good luck and enjoy your time together. ???

Here's what I found.

Besides this year's planned ones, my wife is still looking for a Spring 2021 trip. But she's already picked this one out for the fall. Nov 27 - Dec 4, 2021. Eastern, Perfect Day. Miami Symphony Owner's Suite. Like I've said before, my wife is slowly moving us up and closer to Star Class.

Agree. Go to your dining room once on board day 1. There should be the head waiter or someone at the door who can help you with this. We've seen both large round and elongated oval tables that might work for you.

Here's some port info. No problem showing up early. Depending on when they start boarding, if you're in a suite or if you have Crown and Anchor status, you'll probably be on board before 1230, drink in hand. ? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.miamidade.gov/portmiami/parking-information.asp&ved=2ahUKEwihpMPS2oTnAhXxp1kKHQyXCNAQFjAKegQIBxAB&usg=AOvVaw0Ycsm16iUHCRF5NstzE7QI&cshid=1579061151809
