I don't think I'll ever eat in the MDR again.  It's way to crowded and loud for me.  Also it takes forever to eat.  

ONE thing? That's a bit tough to narrow down, so here's more than one.
1. Buy art. 
2. Buy the drink package on board. Those on board prices!
3. Volunteer for The Quest! ?

I will never be a chair hog.  

I would never go to specialty restaurants  to pay extra money for a meal.
WindJammer, solarium, dog house, park cafe, MDR… all free meals are delicious enough to me.
 

I just read an article that the president of Haiti was assassinated! I wonder if this affect us visiting the port of Labadee. We have a cruise on Allure that stops at Labadee in September. I hope we can go but wonder what will happen if we can't.

??? This discussion reminds me of this video on how they decided anniversary gifts. 
 

I just want to do my second cruise...

Gold - basic precious metal
Platinum - a little pricier
Emerald - one doesn't usually buy just an emerald - the emerald is set in a precious metal, thus increasing the overall value

Can anyone offer an opinion on the CocoCay jetski tour?  I want to do it with my wife as a passenger, but I'm curious what people think.  Fun?  Boring?  Are the sights nice?  Not worth the sunburn?

I just renewed my annual Allianz policy (US if that matters) and there was absolutely no mention of vaccination.  Frankly, that surprised me.  I expected there to be a requirement to be vaccinated but there is not (that I am aware of). They are still offering limited COVID coverage.

His restaurants apparently have failed.    Might be the reason for some dissatisfaction.

I sailed on Mariner in Jan 2019 and thought Jamie's was the worst. I chalked it up to having recently spent 10 days eating my way through Italy in Oct 2018, like how could it compare? I also ate at Chop's and found that was a miss too. I enjoyed my food in the MDR the last two night much better and regretted to have spent the extra money. We had Jamie's for lunch and Chops for dinner the same day. But also I am particular person, I will try most things once but I like my food seasoned a particular way.

TMo worked for me for years at both CocoCay and Nassau.  
Some Sprint phones didn't have the required LTE radio frequencies so that may have been part of the issue. 

If you read the original article (http://www.tribune242.com/news/2020/feb/27/royal-caribbeans-pi-land-deals-revealed/), it sounds like Royal is buying up pretty much everything west of the Yoga Retreat (https://goo.gl/maps/o25HT4S8Gf4meN4f7).  They are now trying to get access to the undeveloped government land between the last of the houses and the light house.  When I was in Nassau in June, I thought that it was weird that a lot of the properties looked run down and abandoned.  At the time I just thought it was just hurricane damage but it might have just been that Royal had bought them and were just letting them rot until they could tear them down.

Greetings!  My wife and I love to travel.  Only one RC cruise under our belts, though her family did a few Disney cruises long before she met me.  We will be cruising Independence of the Seas Jan 31 - Feb 4 2022 and would love to meet some other people.  We love anime, gaming, musicals, drinks, and just meeting new fun-loving people.
