34 long days until Wonder.

28 cruises with Royal, 3 with Carnival and 1 on the Dolphin IV on a cruise line that no longer exists. All of them out of FL! We have 1 scheduled for May on Wonder.

Welcome! We are too.

Sorry, you'll have to share it with us.... and 5,000 of our closest friends. Any special plans for the ports? We're snorkeling on PDCC, but that's all we have planned so far.

Thanks for this blog, the only problem is with it over, I feel like I've been told to leave the ship. But you really do a great job bringing us in.

This is really amazing! Thank you for taking us along with you!

Yes, it is the 19th. I have yet to find any info about a cure for the issue.

My Wonder cruise in May is encountering the same problem.

Thank you for taking us along on this cruise. I caught myself checking up on your progress to the ship and your time on board for the last almost 10 days. Thank you! And hope you have a pleasant re-orientation back into the real world.

I have a beard also. I was able to use vaseline in Cozumel and other places where they regulate sunscreen. I've looked into wearing the full face mask but i am not sure they will alleviate the problem. I know a guy who wears just the goggles on his eyes and holds onto the snorkel with his teeth. He swears it works but I am not sure.

It was fun. The sushi was good. We couldn't take it with us, but on some ships, people have said that they took their extras out. I am planning on doing it again.

We're on this also. Love Coco Cay!

We were on Harmony 12/4-10 for 6 days and they had lobster. We even got 2.

I'm sure it was a warm water lobster. I am sure cold water people think there's are best, but i like our bugs.

We just got off Harmony on Saturday. We both got an extra lobster. The 1st was good, the 2nd was even better. We never got turned down for anything we asked in the MDR. And didn't get charged at all.

We use Park n Cruise. They have always been good for us.

My DW is allergic to black and white pepper. They meet with us at check in and then before the meal. They showed her the menu for the next night and she could choose what she wanted.. They would prepare it. The service is better than at shore side restaurants. Contact them at [email protected] Here is the letter they sent us: Allergies are handled daily on all sailings. We have advised our ship staff of Sara Bryant dietary/allergy needs. ( Allergy to all kinds of Pepper) Our galley has a separate preparation area away from the main production area to prepare meals for guests with allergies and to avoid cross-contamination of the meals. Our Food and Beverage Staff attend recurring training programs regarding allergy protocols. During the booking process, we ask that the guest choose a set dining time versus My Time Dining. This will provide the guests with a dedicated serving staff for the cruise. Once the guest is onboard, we ask them to visit the dining room, introduce themselves and speak with the dining staff to advise of the Pepper allergy. The dining staff for their table will be advised. We are pleased to advise you Royal Caribbean offers Gluten Free meals as a standard offering on our menus in the main dining room. We offer lactose free, almond milk, soy milk, whole milk and skim milk onboard our ships. When guests eat in the buffet, please ask for a manager so they can arrange to get a meal from the galley. This will avoid any cross contamination that may occur at the buffet. When eating in specialty restaurants or other food venues, it is important to advise our staff of the allergies. However, you are allowed to bring, non-perishable food items such as cookies, crackers, chips, energy bars, etc. These items must not require refrigeration and be sealed in the original store bought containers. Best regards, Carlos Alvarez Access Advocate

This is long even for RCI.

Still down but feel strangely comforted by other people looking for pitchforks, too!

Enjoy yourself. Great writing!

Used to wear a suit and tie, but now, my formal wear is to wear socks with nice jeans.

We regularly use Park-n-Cruise. They're $7 a day.

We did it in August but there wasn't much to see. The storms had covered the airplane with sand. Visibility is good, but nothing much to see. They may have done some work since then, I hope. We're going there in May and would love to snorkel there.

That was ours too. The views from the chopper were amazing to this Floridian. Then drinking the melted ice. We almost booked it again for the afternoon.

My wife and I had thought we had used all of our FCC from the cancelled cruises of this past year. Royal Caribbean apparently never forgets. Yesterday both of us got emails reminding us of the credit available and how to use it for either a future cruise or for a previously scheduled cruise that had not been paid off. So we went thru the website Royal provided and paid off all but $65 of a November cruise. I am thankful for Royal contacting us this way.
