jaredhamburg got a reaction from PRebecca in Book excursions for late August cruise or continue to wait?
From looking at the cruise planner prices, I have always found the % off to be a suspect number. I just go off of gross dollars....

Agreed. Neither by looking at percentage off or comparing dollar amounts showed any real "savings" once I hit final payment date.

jaredhamburg got a reaction from ehw51 in NCL has announced its new procedures and protocols.
This gives me so much hope for Royal's own plans. Nothing is outlandish. No masks (thank you, thank you, thank you).
The lower seating at events could make being in a Suite or having The Key more valuable for going to shows.....I am hoping for more shows if they have less seating, but this is a small issue. I was expecting so much worse. This overall pleases me.

jaredhamburg reacted to Kcusack89 in Coco Beach club & thrill water park
I ended up having to cancel my thrill water park tickets and rebuy both thrill and coco Beach together to by pass their calander restraints ?
58 is the lowest Iv eve seen. In my canceled cruise they were liek 199 ?. I'm not even sure we want to go but we had the extra OBC I figured we can cancel later but right now it's a steal.
We've done thrill water park last trip (2 30 year olds) and finished in a few hours then went to Oasis pool for the rest of the day. That's why I feel like we have time for both. But last trip only one ship was at port and this time we have two so a private pool with a guaranteed chair is nice to have

I sent an email and asked about the requirements of masks. Here is the response I was given.
We are currently finalizing our protocols but do not have the answers to your questions at this time. Once we do have additional information we will be sure to share with our valued guests as soon as possible.
Regards,
Norwegian Cruise Line

I hope not. Disney World is going to do masks. In Florida's humid heat. In the middle of summer. That is a health concern from too much heat and not enough oxygen. I do not want mask in the Caribbean unless it is part of a pirate show on a Disney cruise.

I’m encouraged, everything seems reasonable.

I think there will be enforced boarding times. I think this makes sense to control the flow better. It just needs to be communicated well so there are not misunderstandings. The shows concern me, but I am there for pools, beaches, and the MDR mostly. If there were less shows for a time or harder to get into ones, I am okay with that. I just want a vacation so bad.
As a disclaimer, this is my first Royal Caribbean cruise; and I am on a smaller ship September 2020 (Enchantment of the Seas out of Galveston). We picked it less for the fancy shows and doodads and more for relaxing and the Bahams itinerary (stopping at Perfect Day at Coco Cay). So, it is easy for me to say I can give up some shows and activities when I am not on a grand dame like Harmony of the Seas.

jaredhamburg got a reaction from JLMoran in What about Escargot?
I can never make it trying to get one in my mouth. My wife was able to, but it made an sudden trip back out. That was our one experience with them. Never, ever again.

@Debsters41 Tell them that I said you could have all mine! ?

jaredhamburg reacted to Hoski in Coco Cay - Thrill Cabana or Beach Club (non-Cabana)
I would skip both and enjoy the sand toys you take and the free lounge chairs. If your kids were a little older I'd say go for the water park because the wave pool is fun for all.

jaredhamburg reacted to Marlena in What if COVID-19 Never Goes Away?
I also dont think it's going away any time soon. We need to find a way to live with it and not keep ourselves locked inside for years.

jaredhamburg got a reaction from Pen in Cococay Coco Beach Club
I have it reserved on the Enchantment of the Seas for 9/25/2020. Harmony of the Seas is supposed to be there the same day. So, I have reserved the Beach Club just in case it is crazy busy in the free areas (as the Harmony naturally docks first....). I do not want crazy, and can always cancel later if I do not want it. I think some people may not be booking as many excursions right now as they are fearful about the state of cruising. This may be why Royal has had a few good sales as of late (for my cruise, at least).....
If I get to go, I will be soooooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!

jaredhamburg reacted to Pima1988 in Cococay Coco Beach Club
I believe @Ogilthorpe is correct. For some reason I recall them saying the beach club day pass would be limited to @225 people.
@Pen I am kind of shocked that they still have availability. We will be there next May and as soon as it showed up on my planner I jumped on the day pass knowing it was limited in number and we would be on Symphony.

jaredhamburg got a reaction from ellcee in Favorite after-dinner drink
That is why early dinner is nice....Eat a multi-course dinner in the MDR and then hit up the buffet around 8:30PM acting like a Hobbit asking for second dinner.....
