Does Anyone Double Book Due to Uncertainty?
GaryAA replied to WannaCruise's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I’m double booked in December 2021. I have a 12-day southern Caribbean on the Anthem out of Bayonne with a backup on the Symphony. I’ve had the Anthem booked for quite awhile but not sure longer cruises out of Bayonne will sail this year. -
Check out Trunk Bay or Honeymoon Beach on St John's, you can catch a ferry over to St John.

Symphony of the Seas Itinerary Change
GaryAA replied to AbbottTraveler's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Wow, $10-$15pp is not much. -
That is funny. Another reason not assume things. Although I was in the Navy, I participated in joint exercises at a Nellis AFB in Las Vegas. Top Gun vs Red Flag

I’m guessing the DD474 was the Navy destroyer you were on. My dad spent 23 years in the Navy mostly on destroyers. My first “cruise” was a 2 week trip to Japan with my family on a troop ship where we lived for a few years in Yokohama. We had to get several shots before we went overseas. Then I joined the Navy at got more shots.

Wow, that’s awesome! I’m not optimistic about my August Alaskan cruise but very optimistic about the two December cruises.

We had our 18 year old daughter (senior in high school) bring a friend of hers. We shared a suite with the 2 eighteen year olds. We assured the friends parents we would keep their daughter safe. Things worked out well.

Grand Suite or Junior Suite on Symphony of the Seas?
GaryAA replied to CruisingOz's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Thanks for posting this topic. We’ve been happy with the Junior Suite cabins but are ready to try some Sky class suites starting with a GS. We are D+ now so we have some perks but the additional perks are enticing. -
Adventure of the Seas balcony bump out
GaryAA replied to Kayleigh's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
We usually get Junior Suites on the hump of the Voyager and Freedom class ships. We like being close to the elevators and the “hump” sticking out from the ship. The noise is never an issue unless a couple of kids run down the passageway. -
Symphony of the Seas Itinerary Change
GaryAA replied to AbbottTraveler's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
We sail on 2/5/22 on the Symphony with a stop in Puerto Rico but have not received an email. Hopefully your original plans will be reinstated. -
Diamond Club membership question...
GaryAA replied to kittysoul's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I would be a Pinnacle member if I would have got credit for the Junior Suites I paid for our kids when they cruised with us. I always thought the person who paid for the cabins should get the credit. At least maybe they can get something out of it like being Diamond members. -
Odyssey of the Seas Interior Cabin Door Port or Starboard?
GaryAA replied to Griffey's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
If having direct access between cabins is important, maybe consider 2 balcony cabins next to each other. Then have the cabin steward open up the divider on the balcony. We’ve done that with friends before and is nice having both balconies opened up and hanging out together. -
Snorkel mask for those with spectacles
GaryAA replied to Andy & Sheryl Unwin's topic in Shore Excursions
Atomic also makes lenses with +1.5 to +2.5 diopters that replace the factory lenses. I have these in my dive mask. -
Key Biscayne beach is close by. We have not been there but is close to the Holiday Inn. There is also Bayside Market place across the street from the Holiday Inn. There are shops, restaurants, and sometimes entertainment going on. There is also a marina there for sightseeing or fishing.
-
We did the coastal cruise from the port and like twangster said we were underwhelmed but enjoyed the scenic boat ride. My next cruise in December (hopefully) will be scuba diving at the Pitons.

Is Labadee/Barefoot Beach worth getting off the ship???
GaryAA replied to Drewtastic86's topic in Shore Excursions
The beach in view from the pier generally has a sandy bottom but the beach under the zip line is rocky unless you go to the area near the shelter house or beyond. -
Great link.....thank you for sharing!

Odyssey of the Seas Ems River Conveyance Coming Soon
GaryAA replied to twangster's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Thanks for sharing this. I can’t wait to sail her to the southern Caribbean in March 2022. -
We took our daughters on several cruises when they were 7 and 11 at the youngest. They had a great time and have great memories. We recently took one of our daughters and son-in-law with their 2 year old son. It was not the same. He did not want to go to adventure ocean, didn’t have the patience for the dining room, and was not old enough for some of the H2O zone slides. We stayed behind in ports so our daughter and SIL could go off the ship. We will do it again but only when they are 5 and older.
