I did the Phi Phi Island hopping with snorkeling excursion back in June. It was amazing! We visited Maya Bay, Phi Phi Le, and Bamboo Beach. We did not get off the boat at Maya Bay or Phi Phi Le. We just did some quick sightseeing and then headed over to the Phi Phi Natural Resort. On the way to the resort, we stopped to do some snorkeling. At the resort, we were fed a buffet lunch. We got back on the boat and went to Bamboo Beach and stayed there for about an hour and headed back. The boat ride itself is very bumpy and choppy, especially on the way back which is over an hour ride long. We were all bumping into each other without anything to hold onto. That was my only complaint. The islands were gorgeous!

It's haleewithaflair.com I watched a video of hers either on instagram or youtube and I could have sworn that she said only one form was needed for your entire travelling party. I just read her blog and it says that one form is needed per adult. I would fill out individual forms for everyone that is going to avoid any confusion.

I will also be sailing on Harmony in October and arriving in Italy. I filled out forms for both my Mother and I, but I did read on some blog that only one form needed to be filled out for the entire traveling party. I'd have both forms filled out just in case.

I went on Mariner about 3 weeks ago and didn't see a lot of gluten free options. They usually had one gluten free dessert available each day at the cafe promenade. I didn't see many GF options in the windjammer for breakfast either.

Brian Leavitt is the cruise director for Symphony of the Seas and Marcello is the cruise director for Mariner of the Seas.

I didn't think we needed to get a covid test on our own prior to sailing since they are providing testing at the terminal the day of embarkation. I thought the pre cruise testing prior to embarkation only applied to cruises out of the U.S. Am I wrong on that? I have a sailing on Harmony Oct 14th out of Rome and will be arriving two days early!

I have a trip booked in Oct 2021in Europe and all the excursions for every port is listed except Naples! I too, am hoping that more options will become available once cruising gets back on.

Does the drink package work at specialty restaurants too? Thanks!!
