Flowrider

Really hoping that we can get back to Jamaica and Falmouth again. It’s great to be cruising again, but I’m with you. Cozumel, Costs Maya, and Roatan need a little diversity.

Street Tacos Mazatlan

You are correct. Fully vaccinated children don’t need to register for the antigen test. Follow typical vaccinated protocols and have them take a test with you 2 days prior. You won’t be able to upload their cards yet. System hasn’t been changed for that. Just take their cards to the terminal and they will do it all there.

We were on the same one with you, fantastic cruise! There were minimal slots available for the adventure ocean. Didn’t care though honestly. We had a ton of fun with our kids! Lots of Flowrider time, rock wall, sports courts, card games, hot tubs, chatting with other people, and not to mention all the good shows and activities that were planned! We hardly had any down time! Our kids are 7, 10, 13 and 15. Older ones hung out with us too and didn’t even do teens club. Navigator crew seemed very low staffed. I think it’s because they have had much lower capacity levels on a day to day basis on the Navigator. The Christmas cruise is an obvious bigger draw and higher capacities were a given. Not feasible to expect RC to hire more crew for a week or two just to cover everything.

I think it’s better if we all stop clicking and reading these stupid news articles. Stop giving these news outlets clicks. Push these stupid news articles ti the bottom of news feeds.

Exactly!!!

Just got off the Navigator. Mask was indoors the whole time, not outdoors. When we were in line to be served food at Johnny Rockets or El Loco Fresh they asked us to put it on. No mask required at the pool. Once we got off the ship in Mazatlan/Cabo/Puerto Vallarta we took masks off. Nobody ever asked us to put the on except for obvious indoor settings, i.e. in a store/shop. MDR or Windjammer you wear it like before. Sitting at the table the mask is off. Walking around to buffet mask is on.

Wow that’s super generous! I actually really enjoy the sea days so that would be a sweet bonus!

Doubt it will be a problem. Emed is just delayed because of Holiday shipping. It’s natural to see more demand with the spike of Covid cases, but manufacturers will respond bc of the big money involved.

Look on the back of the test kit. Expiration dates are right there in a sticker.

I’m hoping the bring back DR now that the pier is ready and replace Labadee with Coco Cay.

Thanks for the hot tip! We’re heading there in January and couldn’t decide what to do. We really wanted the Mayan water park, but that appears to be on permanent lockdown!

This is huge news! We were schedule there in Feb, but they changed us to Nassau. I hope they reverse it! I don’t want to go to Nassau!!!

We’re doing the navigator for Christmas. Haven’t even booked excursions… all the offerings stink! Initially we had 2 booked and then they got canceled. Very disappointed!

We were supposed to go to the DR, but they said that work on the pier would not be completed and they changed us to Nassau. Not excited about that!

Was windjammer opened for dinner on Thanksgiving?

I’m with you on that. Wasn’t impressed with Nassau. Send us to Coco Cay!

How did you learn about this?

Is this family friendly?

Anyone have some insider information on the water park. I can only imagine they were hit hard by the pandemic. We have been itching to go back there for a long time. Seems like theirs no information on their website.

Any idea if there’s a way to validate the younger kids on the app? Looks like Royal hasn’t made that feature available. We got the older ones done, but there’s no validation option for our 7 and 10 year olds.

We’ve just walked straight in on the Symphony, Independence, and Adventure post pandemic. Wash hands and eat. I wouldn’t bother making a reservation, honestly don’t know how.

You can make reservations, but you can just walk in.

This is true, they are very good about getting you in and out when you give them a heads up. Our preference is still the WJ for how we go.

Yes it’s true… we’ve done that too, but it is nice to grab from the selections of desert or a little of this and that from whatever’s available.
