when my husband and i went last summer, we did the labadee traditions excursion, went back and grabbed lunch and a labadoozie, then went swimming for a while and went shopping at the haggle market. just say no! haha. 

i booked through www.shoreexcursions.com at the recommendation of AAA, and found a cavern tour, meet at the big tree, take a van out to the cavers, get a tour, have a short time to shop, then they bring you up to a point where the views were beautiful!! not snorkellling, but beautiful nonetheless

I’ll be in La Spezia (Allure of the Seas) in July. I haven’t been on any tours yet, but I’ve booked a Florence & Pisa tour through Italytours.eu. Reviews look good, and they pick up at La Spezia. I can let you know how it goes.

Maybe for those 3 "ultimate" nights out of the 7, the waiters juggle fire while delivering food to your table.
On unicycles.

i was on Symphony last year for my birthday. i decorated my door, our waiter (forgot... but my tablemates reminded him by singing to me) brought me cake and a line of singing waitstaff.. and our room steward made us TWO towel animals. a mom and a baby elephant!! they were so cute!

honestly, i go where i think i will have the most fun, and on a cruise set up through another company (Board Game Geek) i will have the most fun with my husband! we are going on our second BGG@sea, which is again on royal, but i have sailed carnival and NCL as well. I look at price, value, and excursions when making the decision. game time is always a plus!! anyway.. i dont think i will ever cruise enough to get the perks anywhere but we do it for the fun. Mediterranean cruise 2021!! 

I was on Symphony of the Seas DURING hurricane Dorian... they kept us informed throughout the cruise, and even though we had like 6 itinerary changes it was a great cruise. It's safer to be on a large ship during a storm than on land because you can circumnavigate the dangerous parts of the storm. the only thing i hated was that they didnt tell us about excursion cancellations until we got off the ship. (happened on my birthday so i was distraught).  Ive been on other cruises during september and october as well and they have all been nice. 

as a side note, when in grand cayman, hop a taxi to "hell" its a cute little tourist trap :)

Oh, I see. Well, definitely not certified here so I guess I’ll just do some trial and error to find some basic stuff. I foresee myself sticking my head in a bucket, apple bobbing style. ? Thanks!

You can get anything as long as it doesn't have alcohol with the Refreshment package.  That means you can have all the fruity mixers you want.  The only true limit is what the bar has on hand.
A bonus with the refreshment package is that if the ship has a Vitality cafe, the fresh juices and smoothies are included.  
Also if there is a Bionic Bar, there are non-alcoholic drinks available so you can also participate with no charge in using it.

That's the problem right there....you didn't start the conversation off properly...it should have wen't like this....
You -  This is (Insert Name & Travel Agency) and i would like to book a dinner reservation for one of my clients for Chops restaurant.
RCCL- Sure, we can do this for you and your client, What ship, date and time would you like.
You - date and time.
RCCL- We have that available, name...
You - Name given
RCCL -  Wait...that's you..Correct?
You -  Yes it is, Thanks, much appreciated..gotta go! ?

well dang.. lol! the good thing about it (for future reference) is the discount is nice, and you don't have to buy the gaming pass for everyone. you could go together and you could split off to play games while others in your party did whatever they want! we are still going on excursions in every port and going to see shows. we will just have a lot of game time in between!!

symphony august 24th!! 6 days!!!

Room service for your breakfast is an easy option

Informative post. Thanks for sharing 

Our fish is still on n the water.  He made a little friend the same age as him.  He’s shy so it’s only because she talked to him first. ☺️
They’ve been playing for a while, then she just asked him to go to the hot tub with her.  Everything is happening so fast. ??

just a suggestion: 
https://www.amazon.com/Biodegradable-Compostable-Plant-Based-Eco-Friendly-Individually/dp/B078J4N5XF
still just like any other plastic straw, but safer for sea life because they break down, wont desintegrate like the paper straws... $2.50 more than regular plastic for 200, and individually wrapped...
 
or these:
https://www.amazon.com/200-Pack-100-Plant-Based-Compostable-Straws/dp/B07MZLLDZD/ref=pd_bxgy_121_img_2/140-0683482-6559335?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07MZLLDZD&pd_rd_r=b06ad743-b059-48ac-b132-1b023ab99857&pd_rd_w=3C5HA&pd_rd_wg=QoJgP&pf_rd_p=a2006322-0bc0-4db9-a08e-d168c18ce6f0&pf_rd_r=MR1GXHF0KXHV63Y4XKAW&psc=1&refRID=MR1GXHF0KXHV63Y4XKAW
$1.99 more than regular plastic straws for a 200 count, bendy, but not individually wrapped. :)
