Another vote for Josh Crothers from MEI. He has been very responsive!

Yeah, Thanksgiving would be first choice followed by March.

Thanks for sharing your adventure.

So, they are going to start their newest ship doing short sailings. I guess they are trying to get new cruisers and young people.

Thanks

Curious what you think of your your. Have tentatively book with St. Maarten Presidential tours in 2024.

We stayed at the Hotel Captain Cook. It is a historic landmark hotel.

The NCL Prima accommodates 3200 guests.

Cruising is wonderful. You and your children will love it. As others said, I wouldn't try to overplan. If you take your kids on excursions, I wouldn't do more than 4 hours. Bermuda is lovely. Just make sure you arrive in Fort Lauderdale at least a day ahead.

Haleakala at sunset in Maui. We rented a car in Kauai, downloaded the gypsy app and drove to Waimea Canyon. However, we took a non RCL cruise and had overnights.

Thanks Traveler.

Do you know if the shuttle bus in Cyprus was for just Royal Caribbean or is it port offered? Stopping at Limassol on a non-RCL ship.

Thanks Roger.

Try Symphony or Odyssey 8 day sailings to the Southern Caribbean. Southern Caribbean is great.

Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks Twangster.

Where there others who didn't snorkel? I don't want to feel out of place. Neither nor my husband like to snorkel but are looking for a beach day in St. John and didn't see other options.

The Pride of America is a unique ship in that she is US flagged and is required to have 75 percent of her staff from the US. As Gatorcruiser stated, it wouldn't be good for the consumer if NCL went kaput. Less competition means higher pricing.

Go to the pub, Dazzles, and Jazz at 4 at night. Take a ride on the rising tide bar.

Looks like a great start to the cruise.

I have family going on this cruise tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great time. Is internet free for suite guests?

I sail both lines. NCL does offer more itinerary choices. Look at Celebrity also as they have alot of new ships in Europe.

I am sorry if this has been asked before. Are you required to upload vaccine proof before your cruise? How far ahead? Can you do it for everyone in your reservation? Also, where in the app?

I could see masking being dropped but not testing. Wouldn't Royal want to keep someone who already has covid off ships?

Royal absolutely does 1 way cruises between Vancouver and Seward on the Radiance. They didn't do it this past year due to covid. However, the Radiance is scheduled to resume those itineraries. The itineraries are offered in both directions. If you do the northbound itinerary, you would board in Vancouver and you could get off the ship in Juneau without violating any cabbotage laws. The problem is that Juneau would be the first stop. So, you would only be on the ship 2 nights before getting off. It might be better to fly to Juneau first for a couple days, then fly to Anchorage take the southbound itinerary from Seward to Vancouver on the Radiance.
