Thanks for posting!

Latest pics of the new Galveston Royal Caribbean terminal. Taken yesterday from Liberty.

I hope you all have a great cruise. I'm currently sitting in the suite lounge on Liberty. It's quiet so I'm thinking i should have flown into Miami instead to join your group!

I'm not sure what that is, but I feel safe in saying no.

We just got back from 1st day lunch at Windjammer and all of the covid protocols have been removed except for crewmembers serving the food. You no longer need to scan your card at entry and all tables are in use.

We were at Orient Beach in November and there are several beach clubs that are fully open. The Beach is in great shape and it is as pretty as ever. Kontiki Beach SXM - Home | Facebook

To answer your original question, It doesn't really matter. Either way will work.

Usually the best price is the day the cruise is released for sale. Use MEI as a travel agent and you will get repriced for any price changes. You can also do this yourself if you book directly but you will have to watch the prices and call Royal to do this.

There are many reason's why it may be cut short. Usually it is because they need to get moving to the next port. They also need to schedule the departures so that all the ships are not leaving at the same time.

Yikes, I'm scheduled there next week. You scared me with the thread title.. I'll try to find out what's going on.

It's a great feeling! My family all passed today as well and we will be on Liberty Sunday. Have a great cruise!

Typically, the menus don't really change. They are basically the same fleet wide with only minor changes.

Did you take a picture in the app and submit it as part of check in. They should be approved if you are cruising next week

If there are cabins available, Yes. No guarantees on that.

Is there a better feeling than passing your pre cruise covid test? It's a combination of relief and the now certain knowledge that I will be sailing in 2 days!

I had my Royal Up accepted about 30 days out, which is actually unusual. Typically 2 days out is the norm. My advice is not to stress about it.

As stated above, although not required, I would get a passport if time allows. You would not be allowed to fly back into the US without it if something happened.

Yes, and I have also moved my 11 year old (almost 12) into the 12+ group. They generally allow kids to move up into the teen group, especially since it is more loosely run.

It depends on the ship. Oasis class is 13+, Freedom class is 12+. I'm not sure on the other classes. Honestly, it makes no sense at all.

Generally, the best option this late is for your partner to "no show". Taxes and port charges will be refunded.

Check with the shore excursions desk once you get on the ship to see if there have been any cancellations.

Most likely, but you will need to get permission from the staff at Social 298.

Weather should be great in April and the Caribbean/Gulf of Mexico will generally be smoother than what you have in Europe.

I recommend having a 2nd person to hold the phone while doing the test. Having said that, I found the proctors to be patient.
