WAAAYTOOO

May the force be with you...

I find this to be the case with many performances - ice shows, aqua theaters, etc. I have learned to just ignore it.

UGH. So sorry that you are not feeling well. Hopefully the sea air will squelch it quickly.

What a wonderful itin. One day.... Enjoy everything !

Grand Bahama ?? Wow, I didn't think anyone except for Carnival went there. That is, by far, the worst option (IMO) of any of the reroutes that I have heard. Sorry to hear it. At least you're ok with going to Miami. Otherwise, it would be a double whammy. It seems like you are one of those "glass half full" people so I'm sure you will just consider it an adventure and make the best of it. It is a bit distressing, however, to find the Royal is using GB as a reroute for the Coco Cay debacle.

Yes, Christmas/New Year's of this year. Happy to !!

I don't speak bot (or dweeb-geek) but I'm sure this is something utterly cerebral and profound. ...or maybe I've just been told to F* off. Either way, I'm good with it. ??

Not that this is at all helpful to you, but I am thinking of doing the St. Kitts railway when we go to St. Kitts over Christmas. I have heard mixed reviews - some have said that it was a tad boring (I think Master Matt had some similar remarks ? Not sure) but I have never done it and I love trains. So....here we go.

This is the result of the unnatural integration of bots and dweeb-geeks. Just sayin'.

Sorry, Jay. I re-read your post and now see that you said it was a stop in CC on Jan 10. Apparently I'm illiterate. Sorry

I went back again and the itin change comes up for Jan 24 but not for Jan 3. So, apparently it's a fairly narrow range of cruise dates that are affected. I couldn't see any difference in the itins either, BTW.

Jay, I don't see a Grandeur cruise on January 10. There are 9 day cruises on the 3rd and the 24th and a 12 day cruise on Jan 12th but that one doesn't mention Coco Cay. I wanted to look b/c I wanted to see what the itin change ribbon looked like.

Just what I thought....!

I see your name has changed. Again. So you are no longer denying that you are a bot ?

Woohooo ! NYE on Quantum. That sounds GREAT !

I am in total agreement with other comments I've read on this subject. I would rather circle around out in the ocean and have a great sea day than pull into Miami for the day. While I completely understand why these changes are occurring (and I won't be surprised to hear of more just like them) I would not want a stop in Miami. I have 2 trips on Anthem B2B that include Coco Cay in Feb. 19 so I won't be surprised if this delay/rescheduling pushes back into those as well. These kinds of inconveniences are bound to happen. I just hope that it is all done when I go BACK to Coco Cay in Feb 2020 on my Star Class cruise. I hope it's all done by then.

Welcome, Jill !!

This makes sense. We were both OWD certified in Asia.

Is NAUI even still a "thing" ? My ex and I were both OWC through NAUI back in the day. Subsequently, I became AOWD and Rescue diver but those were through PADI. I thought NAUI was long gone.

I'm surprised that there isn't a warning banner indicating that the itin has changed. That's what usually happens when they change an itin. Maybe they haven't had time to put up the banner yet or maybe they're trying to keep this rather unfortunate news on the down-low.

In the recent past, on one of the big ships (most likely on Allure in April) I saw a doorway marked "Teen Spa". I have no idea what was behind it, how big it is inside or what they do there...but I do recall seeing that sign so there is some form of teen spa services at least on SOME of the ships. Sorry I don't know more.

I can vouch for this ! ...and it's not a "Chinese" thing. Asians, in general, do not have the same understanding of "personal space" that we Americans have. Having lived in Asia for a number of years, I can tell you that it's just a cultural thing. Nothing rude or malevolent intended, it's just " a thing" you lean to deal with in Asia. This is 1 reason why I have never been in a huge hurry to do a cruise in the far east. I absolutely LOVE Hong Kong and I would love to cruise out of there but I don't know if I could deal with all of that mania. It's one of the things I LEAST enjoyed about Asia.

YIPPEE ! That's GREAT !

With no kid worries, and if all itins are equal, I say go with the longest. I, also, am partial to Grandeur. We were just on her in June/July and will be on her again in October and December...then again in Sept. 2019. I don't see how you can go wrong with a 2 BR suite no matter which one you choose ! Nice options to have
