I am really, really hoping so!! I'm thinking after April when current protocols expire that may happen.

Yes and I do a happy dance every time!

HI! We are sailing on Oasis in June (139 days to go)! My oldest daughter will have just turned 18. Are there any activities for the 18-20 crowd? Thanks in advance!

Nordic Empress 2003 to Bermuda (we were married aboard ship).

I'm so scared to fly! But maybe it's time to face my fears.

Shopping for cruise clothes. i miss shopping period! And just the general excitement/counting the days. Someday....

Agreed.

Would the refund/credit be issued to only the sick passenger or entire party?

What did they do? I remember cruising during SARS (actually got married then so thank goodness nothing cancelled). All I remember was screening questions. What happened during other viruses?

Good question.

I know weather is unpredictable but it's supposed to be upper 40s and 50s the next 10 days in Bayonne area. We've been pretty spoiled by a mild winter, so I'm waiting for a turn for the worse but as of now no major snowstorms in sight. Happy cruising!

Breakfast on the balcony..

Great post. 1. I love all of the options all in one place! I can go from relaxing to swimming to dancing all in one spot, all while traveling to a beautiful destination. And of course, the food! 2. Would love to go to Ireland/Scotland/England on any ship.

Oh no! so I won't have the joy of standing in line waiting to return my sandy beach towel-- so sad! Thanks Matt for your help!

So we just leave them in the cabana when we leave the island?

I agree. Personally I don't purchase any dining packages because there's so included. We're not big "foodies" so MDR is fine for us. But I do think it is good advice if you want to try something different go with the 3-4 night package. Have a great cruise!

Thanks everyone. I'll keep checking cruise planner, and I'll look out for those Black Friday sales!

I love reading all the posts on these boards. Everyone is so sweet and helpful! I was wondering how long before sailing do beverage packages become available to purchase on cruise planner.I know I purchased around April for my cruise last June, but can't remember when it was first available. I have 481 days to go till my next sailing (just a little excited) so I know I have plenty of time but just wanted to get ideas of pricing. Thanks so much!

OK. Thank you!

Hi! Do we get to keep the beach towels included with day beds or cabanas at Coco Cay or do they have to be returned?

Hi! So when my girls were 13 & 5 I took them on a cruise on NCL Gem to Canada/New England. My husband wasn't able to go so it gave me some comfort being relatively "close" to home. They had a great time on the cruise, and while we enjoyed sight-seeing they were honestly a little bored off the ship. Last year we cruised on Adventure to Coco Cay and we had a blast (husband went too). Ship was great and we all loved the island, so much so that we booked another cruise on Oasis to Coco Cay. For me, I don't care where the ship goes, I just love cruising. But for your kids, I really think Coco Cay is the way to go. Either way, happy cruising!
