Thanks for posting. You make some great points. I agree on Playmakers, any legitimate sports bar can get pretty much any game that is televised. I actually had the best MDR food I've had in a long time a few weeks ago on Liberty. It was on point all week.

I don't find them to be that bad - I have been in some that bothered me in the past.

I will be in Europe on a Meditteranian cruise in June and I am hoping the both masks and testing ar behind us.

They should add betting machines at the elevators.

Fill out the special needs form and they will let you know if can be allowed. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/resources/guest-special-needs

They were showing movies in On Air a few weeks ago.

I think $10 a person - You will have a great time.

They really don't distinguish between ages in the teen group. It is a loose group anyway, with optional activities if you teens want to participate. A lot of the kids just form groups and do their own thing. There won't be any issues.

They will seat you for 2 when you arrive - no need to go in advance. If you like the table/waiter - you can stop by after your meal to arrange to have the same table/waiter all week.

They were out of Tiramisu last week but that was the only thing we noticed. Definitely had the cheesecake.

Radiance is sailing from Galveston in 2023 and has some 9 night itineraries that include Coco Cay.

Great advice in this post. The only thing I would add is that it is helpful to have another person to hold your phone. It is also difficult to understand the proctor so it definitely helps to watch the video above so that you know the steps. Having said all that, it's pretty easy to do these tests and super convenient to do at home.

I'm booked this Summer and the short answer is, you are not wrong. It's very expensive this year.

There was a discussion in the SL on Liberty last week as to whether the complimentary happy hour drinks would work for Pinnacles.

Yes, your story is exactly why I use one.

There's not a problem with using it for the cruise. Having said that, I would always recommend having a passport when leaving the US. If for whatever reason you may need to fly home, a passport is needed. The passengers on the Norwegian ship that ran around and had to put off the passengers in Dominican Republic were delayed getting home if they had a birth certificate. Another issue is that they will have to wait at re-entry for an actual customs agent vs using the facial recognition machine (much faster)

I just did a tour with Rony last week. He is awesome.

Generally yes. There are a few ports that still have some Covid restrictions but at most you can book either way.

My suggestion would be to ditch the RC excursion, and hire a driver for the day. Then you can do both easily. I use Rony's Tours - He offer's both. Rony’s Private Tour – (Free Style) EXCURSION YOU ARE THE CAPTAIN!! - Roatan Tours, Cruiseship Activities, Excursions, Zipline Canopy Tours with Ronys Independent Tours, Roatan (ronystours.com)

And some different itineraries on those sailings. Let's hope they get supported.

The survey was never even mentioned once on Liberty last week.

Nope, other than you letting them know your expectations.

Saturday/Sunday, yes. Monday, I wouldn't unless you can easily take a later flight. Too much traffic and it's the busiest time of the week at the airport.

My wife and I have also been to Rome and are primarily doing this to show my 15 year old a sampling of Europe. We are also spending 4 extra days in Rome. Thanks for all the advice!

My family and I will be cruising on Wonder this summer - our first European cruise. I have a few questions. 1. How do people dress on these cruises? I know the official dress code, but I am wondering how people actually dress vs Caribbean cruises. 2. What is a rough breakdown of Americans vs Europeans on board? 3. I am usually a "book my own shore excursion" guy in the Caribbean. Does this work as well in Europe? 4. Any other differences to be aware of?
