It does seem a little more gray and gloomy in the winter.  It is a lot less violent than the summer rainshowers that blow through quickly and follow with sunshine.

There is a weather system in the gulf that's going to hang around and send rain to parts of the southeast for the next few days.  The ship will do what it can to go around storms and stay out of the worst of the weather when at all possible.

This is extremely helpful, thanks! 

Since we have two non-beach excursions planned (each involve walking outside), I think I will pack umbrellas (so we can go on the excursion without feeling overly squishy...)  

Hey folks.  Same situation as OP.  Per the RC App, Rain forecast every day (cruise starts this Sunday).  

I assume that rain "events" are different in Winter than in Summer.  (Summer rain in the Car. is usually short bursts - is it correct that Winter rain is different?  I am guessing longer duration of rain, but perhaps less intense?  Obviously it varies, but I assume there is a "usual look" to Winter rain that differs from Summer?)

There's a plain crispy chicken sandwich and there's one dressed with a special aoili sauce.

There's also a hidden menu option for a chicken parmesan sandwich..basically they service mozzarella sticks there that come with marinara for dipping..top the plain chicken sandwich with that and a couple of mozzarella sticks and voila..chicken parmesan sandwich.

Thanks!!

It is the crispy chicken sandwich from the Snack Shack, which I believe there might be more than one location on CCPD.  Note, at the SS, there is more than one chicken sandwich on the menu, so make sure to order the correct one.

Want to make sure we ask for the "right" one - what it the "wrong" one?  (Is one crispy and the other grilled?  Or is one spicy and the other not?  Or...?)

Thanks!!

I'm also worried about CocoCay water temp - we are planning to do the water slides, and the extended forecast looks like a temp in the low 70s!   

Maybe I will pack an insulated tumbler so I can bring some hot tea with me!!! 

** Does anyone know whether tea/coffee/hot chocolate are available on the island??? **

It would probably be worth your while bringing some kind of document with you (e.g. from her coach or doctor or whatever is appropriate) to say that she's supposed to do this cardio training. There's a good chance nobody will raise any questions about it on board but given the inconsistency I mentioned before it would be useful to have.

Thanks!  Great idea!  I'll ask the Coach to send me an email... 

Thanks everyone!  That's great news! 

My DD is 14, but I'm hoping we can get a waiver (I would accompany her/supervise).  

My child is supposed to do cardio over her Winter Break, preferably using a rowing machine.

Does anyone know whether the Harmony Fitness Center has rowing machines? 

Thanks!

Yes.  They will usually only have one station dedicated to the nightly theme and you will find regular, non-themed items.  They usually always have a grill section with various grilled proteins and grilled vegetables as well as a salad bar and prepared salads.

Thanks!  

Question - do they offer "generic" entrees, beyond the food theme?  (My mother is a bit picky and would not be happy with the themes on nights 3-5... unfortunately, night 5 will ALSO be a problem for her in the MDR, based on the menu I see...) 

Also, is it correct that on night 5, the WJ (Harmony) usually has a special Chocolate Dessert Buffet?
