We met some folks that had mobility issues. They did not venture through the dark forest (on their first exploration of the ship) thinking it was just an art exhibit. Other friends were talking to them about wanting to find Eden, and they were astonished that they almost missed it until nearly the end of the cruise. I thought it was a pretty cool feature. (Apex has a different entry to Eden that's fully lit. (As will Beyond).

Not sure if you experienced this, but early in our Edge cruise not a lot of folks knew about the the Eden cafe. it stayed pretty empty first part of the cruise. By the end, it was packed - great panini offerings. (Similar to Park Cafe getting ignored on embarkation day)

Exactly what my wife needed

Your cruise documentaries are "coffee table" book ready! Really enjoy them.

Your doctor's office may have (or subscribe) to an APP that provides an OCR vaccination and test result display. Also check for that. If you test at CVS/Walgreens, they have APPs that keep a record of your test result (as well as vaccination status if they've vaccinated you). You can also print it out from either source.

Agree on practical affordability related to cabana's, but it must be a reliable revenue source for the company to be offered. I have seen some price fluctuations, "guessing" its throttled upon demand. (If you want to see an interesting take on really nice cabanas, check out an all-inclusive vacation in the Maldives. The cost (inc air) will surprise you as it can be less than cost of higher end suites on a cruise ship. You just have to fly 30hrs to get there - if you're starting from North America.) We found the beach club a very affordable alternative (as a couple) to have nice beach front (or pool) with ample lounge chairs. You also get a great lunch.

They charge a lot for cabanas because people will pay it. its a discretionary activity - it can make sense for those traveling with a family or group.

You're OK - the lounge really isn't worth finding.

Part of a fitness class. I think you're supposed to carry one on your shoulders as you round the track.

From what I remember, the sea bass on the menu isn't Chilean Sea bass (aka Patagonian tooth fish), its Mediterranean bass aka Brazino. (Which I believe RCG purchases the entire world supply )

We stayed the beach club and there were some Lemon Sharks and Stingrays off the beach in that area. But, I'm sure they're all around the island.

Practice makes perfect..

Fine Cuts in itself is a great steak place. Reservations best made early.

I think you would have to really make an effort try to be bored. There are enough activities going on throughout the ship that can't all be possibly done in 1 - 7-day cruise (Along with the toys, consider to all the things (games etc) the cruise director staff has going on - that often get missed because of other conflicts)

We'll know if (or when) we get to that point.

Doesn't appear the menu changed since pre-shutdown..

They updated chart and removed the Azamara reciprocity too.

Very generous portions too (we couldn't finish ours)...

You'll have a fantastic time - you've got things well in hand. Enjoy the adventure.

New Infinity Caribbean sailings are posted, starting with June/July itineraries.

Look at the numbers yourself, you'll see cruiseship infection rates are far lower than the states the ports reside. Sailed twice since shutdown, and felt we were in a far lower risk environment once onboard than flying on a plane to get there. There's a continued bias reported by those who don't favor the industry, and use Covid as another way to punch at the industry.
