We're headed back to Maya Chan next week! I could not care less about the seaweed. We had an amazing time last visit with the pool, cabanas, bar, and massages. We're arriving in port at 7 AM and departing at 3 PM. We'll make the most of the early day. I'll report back afterwards.

Hi All. I'm interested in hearing the creative or unusual ways you've taken advantage of the UDP. We bought it for the first time for our upcoming transatlantic cruise on Symphony. Tons of sea days for specialty lunches! I just listened to a Q&A with Matt where he mentioned stopping in Izumi and grabbing some sushi to go around 5ish, then going to a different restaurant for dinner later than evening. That's the kind of ingenuity about which I'm interested in hearing! Thanks in advance.

Oh goody! Thank you for the explanation. I'm looking forward to those drink specials.

Thank you. At least I can temper my expectations. Guess I'll just have to learn to make them at home.

Any recent Symphony sailors? I'm dreaming of the Huevos Rancheros from my last Symphony cruise and wondering if I'll be able to live out this dream on my 3/9 SOS sailing.

Does anyone have a PDF of the current C&A benefits? My cruise sails 3/9 and this is my first cruise as Emerald. I'm liking what I'm seeing as benefits on the update, unfortunately sounds like it won't apply to my sailing.

Yes, that's the one I saw. So, those prices don't apply to the actual restaurant, right?

HI All, Since I'm not seeing an option for dining packages on my Dec 30 Odyssey cruise, I'm making individual reservations. When I look at the Giovanni's menu featured on RCCL site, it shows prices for all the food items. However, I was charged like $45 per person when I booked. What's the deal? That's the Wine Bar menu, right? Is the dining room the more typical - all you care to order? Thanks in advance!

HI All. My husband and 10-year old want to snorkel in these ports. I'm not in the best shape, but am perfectly capable of swimming. RCCL labels all snorkeling excursions as "strenuous" which is freaking me out a bit. Have you been on RCCL snorkel excursions? Did you feel they were strenuous? Any alternate suggestions for easy snorkeling? Many thanks!

Hello All, We're going for it with The Key on our upcoming SoS cruise, despite what anyone has had to say about it. I've read many of post about the moving target that is the listed benefits. What I want to know about is any unlisted benefits. The two I have heard so far are: 1) Pool Towels Galore with no need to check out/check in 2) A somewhat random mid-trip fruit basket or plate Anyone done The Key and received a benefit never described in a RCCL missive? Thanks! Melanie

Thanks All. We're sticking with it. To be honest, I'm hoping others cancel and we have practically have the place to ourselves. ?

We're head out this Saturday and have been reading about the seagrass invasion of the Yucatan Peninsula. We have a reservation at Maya Chan that I was sooooo excited about. Got a letter from the resort over the weekend warning about the seagrass and their inability to keep up. Do I cancel? Is there enough to do there if the beach is inaccessible? I really want to try it out, but it's rather expensive. Thank you!
