  1. Is this still all relevant, Matt? Travelling to U.S. and sailing from Miami next month- cannot wait!!!!!
  2. Thank you for your input will likely give explorer a miss then!
  3. Hope we get lucky with the weather then! Thanks for the reply, will certainly keep the beaches in mind!
  4. Hello all, My next planned cruise is 14th of August 2022 on Harmony sailing out of Port Canaveral on our honeymoon! We got engaged in March 2020 on Anthem on my first ever cruise so needed to surely go back on another RCL cruise for the honeymoon... We're due to visit; CocoCay (been before loved it) already have water park and jet skis planned. Nassau (been before, avoiding Atlantis this time, any other excursion recommendations?) Falmouth (although from following the forums it looks as though RC haven't visited here since cruising resumed? Does that make it likely this will be substituted or what is the situation?) Also wondering if anyone has any excursion recommendations for Falmouth in the event we do get to visit. Labadee.. as with Falmouth this looks unlikely? Originally after our cruise we were planning to spend our second week in Orlando, FL however we've been before and it got me thinking we could potentially just do another cruise sailing out of any of the Florida ports.. the soon to be wife loved this idea so now I am shopping around looking for another cruise to go on either the week before our Harmony sailing or after, the options I have at present are as follows; Symphony on 7th August out of Miami > CocoCay > Cozumel > Roatan > Puerto Rico > Miami. Explorer on 6th August out of Miami > Bonaire > Curacao > Aruba > Miami. Celebrity Equinox on 7th August out of Fort Lauderdale > Key West > Cayman Islands > Cozumel > FL. (leaning towards this but looking for advice on how practical it is to key from FL to PC - I've never drove in the U.S but am willing to if it's feasible to make this connection? MSC Divina on 4th August (sorry Royal!) PC > Nassau > Ocean Cay > PC > Ocean Cay > Costa Maya > Cozumel > PC. MSC Seashore 6th August Miami > San Juan > St. Thomas > Dominican Republic > Ocean Cay > Miami. We're both 27, likely to-do drinks packages regardless of which line and sailing we go on - we also really enjoy active holidays with only one or two days of downtime, we've only been on one cruise together but tend to get off the ship at every port and do one or two excursions. Lastly, if we were to see something in the region of 14+ days, are we able to contact Royal to change our current sailing on Harmony if its an option? Sorry long post but looking for advice to make it a holiday and honeymoon of a lifetime - any replies appreciated!
  5. Thank you for sharing your story - I couldn't agree more - I think we'll cruise forever now due to how special it is to us, same with our children in the future!
  6. Anthem out of New York last year - my first ever cruise! Literally the week before Covid took over the world. Boarded the ship 7th of March, got engaged on board and now my next Cruise will be my honeymoon in August'22 - cannot wait!
  7. So many amazing recommendations in this thread for future cruises - thank you! Having only been on one cruise so far I don't have a lot to choose from but I did love swimming with the pigs off the coast of Cococay!
  8. Just binge watched all of your videos - thank you so much for sharing, so excited to get back to cruising! Hope you had as fantastic a time as it looked from the videos!!
  9. Excited cruising is coming back - great news! However, as @JeffBhas said out-with UK and Israel, Europe as a whole is having a disaster when it comes to vaccinating, due to various issues, behind the scenes politics being a big one. Worried Greece/Cyprus and Turkey (the main countries I have seen specifically targeting UK tourists) will end up with their own variants of the virus and further infection of UK and US citizens if either are allowed to travel to Greece and surrounding countries. Worried that on the US mainland side the CDC are watching with bated breath to see how things go in countries like Greece and Bahamas where vaccination isn't as good as UK/US and when it goes the wrong way they can point to their November 1st deadline and say told you all so... Hope I'm wrong, but you can't blame my pessimistic attitude after the last 12 months!
  10. Totally agree with this. We bought the waterpark tickets but only really used it for an hour - majority of the time was spent chilling with a drink.. (or 5).
  11. Booked on this too for honeymoon... cannot wait! Only 527 days to go...
  12. Thank you so much for this! Agreed $125 is steep but its been on the better half's bucket list for a long time so guess we will keep our eyes peeled for tickets going on sale in the run up to our cruise. Thanks again!
  13. We did Magic Kingdom - the bus ride is about 1 hour - with your time in port the theme parks are 100% do-able, I would recommend though if you choose to-do any of the parks to wisely use fast passes, we did this and we only had 5 hours. Enjoy! ?
  14. Hello all - first post on here so be nice please. ? Going on our 2nd ever cruise on our honeymoon - on Mariner of the Seas departing Orlando on August 13th, 2022. We are calling at; Oranjestad, Aruba. Willemstad, Curacao. La Romana, Dominican Republic. Perfect Day at CocoCay. We were on Anthem of the Seas on the 8th of March (the week before RC suspended sailing worldwide) - our first cruise together, it was amazing and has given us the bug! Luckily nobody on the ship was sick and we managed to get into all of our ports without problem. I proposed onboard and our date is set for July'22 with this being our honeymoon. We are looking for recommendations for our upcoming August'22 cruise, we are quite independent and happy to-do RC excursions or go it alone as well, only thing we have already done that we don't wish to re-do was swimming with the pigs at CocoCay. Also, has anybody been to Aruba and had any luck seeing the Flamingos? This is something we would love to-do but it looks as though it may be quite difficult! Thanks in advance of any replies/help!
