The July 8th 2022 from Southhampton seems to be booking up as they only have 2 balcony cabins per floor left!

I'd love to do an itinerary of the fjords! I had one booked for last year. I agree with your idea, I'm looking at 2022 to rebook. I'm based in the UK which can make travelling to the port easier but there are so many restrictions on any international travel at the moment that I'm not even attempting anything abroad this year!

Fingers crossed for 2022!

Yeah we are based in the US so we’re worried about being able to travel to departure port in UK or even being allowed in Norway at all! 

Hey Anyone ever been on one of these routes?

My mom got a future credit from her cancelled Aug 2020 cruise and we are interested in doing something a little different. But we are waiting until at least 2022. Should we book it now in the hopes that they wont cancel? (who know's whats going on in the next few months let alone a year)

They have to visit at least one Canadian port during the sailing, so if Canada still won't let cruises in then Alaska cruises are done for the season (unless it's an all-American line).

Thanks they just decided to cancel but we were on hold with rcl for 1.5 hrs today. Will try again soon. Want to talk to an agent to make sure we are clear on everything.

My mom and her BF have an alaskan cruise planned for August 9th out of Vancouver. I’m worried if the cruise is still sailing there might be an issue with the Canadian boarder because of all the mandatory 14 day quarantines. 
 

would rcl still cruise from that port if that is still an issue?

Thank you will take it slow.  Really sounds like a church she’d enjoy seeing.  

 

 which church are you talking about? Because the one San Jose church is closed for reno but the San Juan Bautista Catedral is open. Also talk a walk through the Convento Hotel. Its very beautiful and right next door

We made it in for the birthday cruise!

What are the odds of getting your drink made with fresh lime/lemon and simple syrup? I'm not a huge fan of sour mixes. 

Saw a telenovela star on one in 2008. Actually because friends woth his daughter at the teenclub. And then my mother freaked out when she found out haha. 

All the older latina ladies know who he was but other than that he wasnt bothered. 

Roberto Vander.

Only 6 days left till sailing and I just realized this tour was cancelled due to the volcanic eruption in New zealand. Need a last minute substitute. Anyone taken the other tour offered by RCL or have suggestions?

Maybe your kids are a bit too old but I always had fun flying a chiringa (kite) by el morro. The wind is perfect for that and a lot of families do it. Check out the actual fort as well.

For the inlaws here is my yelp collection. I go to PR often as I have family there (not all the saved places are in Old San Juan) https://www.yelp.com/collection/5kmN9FhuYXPA7pB50HKGTA

Get a Pina Colada at Barrachina where it was first invented. You can pick any rum to go in your pina they have a lot of local option to choose from so dont stick with just bacardi.

Looking into different Alaskan cruise options for my mom next summer. Convince me Royal has the best option!

Do you do it/ have you done it?

What do you think of people who do?

If its a birthday shirt do you ever go up to them and wish them a Happy Birthday?

I may or may not be wearing matching t's on my next cruise (am)

I may or may not be embarrassed (a little but its to celebrate my sweet grandpa's birthday so his happiness trumps all)

Saw on the cruise planner that there is an 18-21 mingle on the first day. Perhaps they can meet some friends to hang out with the rest of the cruise.

Stopping in Barbados on Vision next month. Going to Harbour Lights (similar to Boatyard and right next door). Since we are all adults we don't really need the rope swing/trampoline options. 10$ to rent chair/umbrella and 20$ for all that + a turtle snorkeling tour. As Laura said take a taxi, Its 5$ each way.

42 days left. Leaving from San Juan. BVI, Antigua, Barbados, St Lucia and DR( punta cana) 

Just booked my families excursions for our southern Caribbean cruise but some of the precruise deals weren’t available anymore. Hope black friday deals are good so I can rebook!

Check out this topic about bringing your own straws.  I don't think cleaning them with sink hot water is a bad thing.

 

After I posted This I remembered there was a search feature haha. Thanks for the link!

Hey All,

Question if i bring my own reusable straws what is the best way to clean them after use? It's a definite no no to wash them with the cruise sink water right?

Also has Royal switched to paper/bamboo or other recyclable material straws yet? 

Went on a royal euro cruise in 2017. Didnt really notice anyone dressing super fancy every day (although I definitely dressed up in cocktail dresses most nights it was my birthday cruise)

That is indeed the address. Try the chuleta Cancan/kankan and arroz mamosteao (mixed rice and beans) 

you wont regret it!

Hey all! 

Would love to hear from my seasoned Caribbean cruisers. I travel to Puerto Rican often but not much in the winter (usually spring/summer)

Will be on a southern carib cruise for christmas. How’s the weather? Is it warm enough to spend time on the beach? Will it be cold at night while the ship is sailing? Does the time of year you cruise dictate what types of excursions you take? 

I guess your answer might be dependant on where you live. I’m from the Northeast so anything above 70° is nice to me anyway lol. 

2-3 weeks out. But I mentally pack as soon as vacation is booked haha. I just edit it by the time it's actually time to put clothes to suitcase.

 I like having "the good stuff" in my cabin so I can share, or not.

Keep it all to yourself! *maniacal laughter*

That's been my experience as well. If you have the unlimited alcohol package, bringing your own wine seems overkill.

Doing the math the DDP doesn't really work out for us since most of our days are docked and only 1 sea day (on a 7 day cruise). So I think bringing the two bottles will at least help us keep our drink cost down between the two of us.

one or two drinks during the day and the bottles at dinner.
