If you've been to Nassau before and don't' want to sight see again, try resort for a day. They offer resort day passes for several popular resorts in Nassau. Some are all inclusive while others just give meal vouchers. There are also adults only resorts as well. As for the straw market, yes that's not too far from the pier at all. But be prepared and watch your surroundings. I've never had a problem walking thru it, probably because I was videotaping with my camcorder all the way thru. If you do want a great tour of Nassau may I suggest Marvelous tours. They offer several different types of tours via air conditioned van and/or boat.

So true. With the cruise I have booked for April, 2021 that I want to Lift & Shift to April, 2022 , for my original reservation when I booked it last month, it was believe it or not $4.00 to make it non-refundable. Of course I did it. The first re-price I did on it a week later the non-refundable cost went up to $20.00. I took it again for it would still save me $34.00 on the cruise. Now with this weeks sales re-price the non-refundable cost went up to $35.00. Once again I took it, for it will still save me $85.00 off the first re-price. I do believe my November, 2021 cruise on Harmony of the Seas had to be booked NRD in order to get the crazy low price I paid for it.

Exactly, I'll call if it's even $10.00 off. Whatever I can save, I will. With the new sale this week, I called Royal up and saved an additional $85.00 on the cruise I booked for April, 2021 that I want to lift & shift to April, 2022. This is the 2nd time it's gone down since my original booking last month. Hope it goes down again before the end of next month when I'll L&S it ?

I do mind smoking/vaping in the casinos. However I may not mind wearing a mask, especially at the blackjack table. Because it always seems to be the dealers up card is a 10 and when he or she turns over their hole card, that always seems to be a 10. If I'm wearing a mask, I could then curse under my breath and no one will know. But the body language...……..I'll have to work on that?

Not to start an argument with a chosen few, but I for one would like to see (and smell) no smoking and no vaping in the casinos.

I'm holding off lifting and shifting till the end of July in the hopes of the cruise I currently have booked (April, 2021) will go down in price. It had already done it once and I called up and had it re-priced. If it does again I'll have it re-priced again. Once I do the actual L&S for the April, 2022 cruise I want to be on, I won't be able to re-price, and the price for that 2022 cruise is allot more then the 2021 cruise which makes the lift & shift very appealing. It's basically Murphy's law now for me. If I L&S now the price will go down on that 2021 cruise before August 1 and I won't be able to do anything about it. If I wait till the end of July the price won't change at all?

It was posted here before and on other RCCL fan pages. You can do Lift & Shift on 2021 cruises thru April, 2022. It all depends on which RCCL agent is spoken too. I have a cruise I booked myself for April, 2021 that I want to L&S to April, 2022. I have not done it yet in the hopes of the April, 2021 cruise going down in price again (it did it once) before the end of next month when I'll ask for the L&S. For what it's worth I also booked this one with a refundable deposit (it was only $20.00 more) for if in the unlikely event I can't get an agent to L&S it, I'll just cancel the cruise and get the $500.00 deposit back...………..eventually.

Not everyone knows about him and his agenda unfortunatly. As if I didn't know already, couldn't he just be banned from this site? Or will he (most likely) just come back under a different name.

I believe that person usually posts on Saturdays or Sundays and probably won't post now that someone has beaten him to the punch with this all important story

Funny thing I heard about that flu was, (not to make this political, but) for the most part, it was never reported on the news. The Vietnam war was the big newsmaker back then.

If they plan on sailing with reduced capacity when they start up in August, I sure hope they are not currently selling any more rooms on those cruises. If ships that are sailing during those first few weeks were sold out and need to be reduced passenger wise, who gets to cruise, and who gets the boot?

I keep checking to see if the prices go down, then adjust as needed.

I have to admit on the days when all of the different cakes are displayed, they simply look fantastic. I always take pictures and/or film them. But is it me, or has anyone else noticed that those awesome looking cakes look better then they taste.

I've watched the feeding frenzy that is the big T-shirt (and whatever else we need to get rid of) sales from the comfort of my promenade view room window on several cruises now. I've compared it to the black Friday sales at your local (insert whatever kind of department like store you have here).

I booked 2 more cruises.

No truer words were ever written.

Currently I have 3 future cruises that I reserved myself and turned over to 2 different travel agents, and 1 other that I'm handling myself for the time being. I know it may be difficult for some depending on who their travel agent is and/or where they are located, but if it's possible to go down to the travel agents office and do your business in person, you may get better results. I know I can't do it every it every time, but I've always been the person who gets better results when meeting in person when it comes to work, business and travel because I can then actually watch them do what needs to be done right there and then. I have no problem making appointments with whomever to see things through instead of just showing up. Travel agents today are especially busy for obvious reasons and can't always answer a phone call or email immediately. Most are probably still working out of their homes. I too get frustrated from having to play phone tag, or wait for an email response whenever I have to make a change or update to a reservation, but I understand what they could be going through and just have to accept it. Things are starting to get back to normal here and I can't wait to be back on the high seas this December.

Why do I have this funny feeling that the slot machine I had really wanted to play, but was blocked off for social distancing will be the one that's ready to give the big payout. But I'll never know, I'll be playing the one next to it ?

You're rolling the dice with a guaranteed room. you could get something great, or you could wind up in the bilge?. Sometimes with a GTY you'll get your room assigned before sailing and you might be able to change it, but that's not a guarantee. We have a neighborhood balcony GTY on Harmony of the Seas next year. We're taking the chance with this one because it was at an offer we couldn't refuse, and yes it's a guarantee, but it's at least narrowed down to specific areas of the ship. This may be the only guarantee of it's kind, not sure if other class ships can break down areas like that. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2020/02/19/what-the-best-room-cruise-ship

As if we didn't know this was going to happen.

How do you plan on getting to the port? If you want to stay near the Orlando attractions, it's going to cost you more to get to Port Canaveral from there as opposed to something nearby in Brevard County.

Ignore user. Perfect. Thank you

Seems to me someone's looking for attention. Anyone have a bottle ??

I'm going to miss picking out my extra crispy well done bacon at breakfast ?
