Kinda feel dumb that I didn't think of that.

Is there some sort of rule where the larger ship docks on the starboard side and the smaller ship docks on the port side? Noticed this twice on my visits to Coco Cay and have seen the same thing in plenty of pictures and cruise vlogs.

For whoever is going...see you next month.

Since I generally eat what I want, I technically didn't break my pre-cruise diet.

Understood.

ymmv?

There are some hotels a short distance (for an uber, not for walking) from the port. I live 45 min from the port, so I can't speak about shuttle services as it was never relevant to me.

I just put my phone into airplane mode, then turn wifi back on and enable wifi calling when I was on Mariner in Jan of this year. That allowed me to make phone calls to check in on a few family members. When the ship returned, I disabled airplane mode while waiting to disembark. Absolutely zero issues.

That makes sense. I mean, laptops tend to have multiple USB ports which arguably makes them a multi port USB charger with a built in computer.

This will be my 2nd cruise (Previously on Mariner) and first time to Labadee.

With regards to the unlimited dining package, let's say I ordered something at Chops that was phenomenal, would the dining package cover ordering a second plate during the same meal? Please note, I don't mean 2 entrees at the same time...more of a "that was amazing, I'd like to order another plate" type of thing.

I'm not gonna swear by it or act like it's the ultimate choice or anything, but a standard backpack like the one I was issued for my deployment or a similarly styled laptop back works for me. If it can hold my meds, go-pro, laptop and related accessories, it works for me. Everything else can go in something with wheels. Even lugging everything from the car to the terminal greatly angers my back.

Thanks.

If a port is cancelled for whatever reason, does RCCL automatically refund you or do they wait for you to ask for the refund?

Spontaneously decided to book my second cruise. Anyone else going on this sailing?

I'm certain alternate views is well within the realm of possibility from a technology perspective. Maybe that's something that we'll end up seeing some day.

For the rooms with a virtual balcony screen, do the screens show anything beyond a balcony view? Call me crazy, but I think I would prefer a virtual submarine view.

For the family whose 3 naked children were waving at Mariner from their balcony during the latter's sail away from Cozumel, thanks for the laughs.

In addition to the medical evacuation last night, I heard that someone was escorted off the ship at Port Canaveral in handcuffs.

See y'all tomorrow.

Room options might be a wee bit limited at this point.

What is S2S2S? My brain decided it wasn't too fond of acronyms today.

I'm so glad I live 45min from the port. The added expense and anxiety of flying in the day before, getting a hotel, transportation, etc will not be missed.

Greetings to anyone that will be going on this voyage. Will be my first cruise.

I know everything on board is keycard linked. I figured if I could keep a few dollars off my balance, then it's worth a shot.
