You can you go and use the sauna/thermal area without a Thermal Suite Pass?  I did not know this.   

Was on Serenade earlier this year and they had a Thermal Suite you had to pay for but also had a sauna that was separate that was free.

I've been on one cruise with a norovirus outbreak. The first thing to go was any self serve spaces on the ship. The buffet, the drink stations, the ice cream machine, the dinner table bread basket - all of it switched over to crew controlled in a matter of hours (or shorter) from when it started showing up. While it isn't common they take it very seriously. Which I was very glad about since their attention to it meant I didn't get it.

We were on Serenade of the Seas earlier this year and the Coke Zero was included in the soda package. They would generally open the can and pour you a glass not just give you the can. Depending on how busy the bar was they would run out at times then you just had Diet Coke as an option.

Vision is currently doing a 10 night sailing and we are doing an 11 night sailing in April. Night 11 is only showing the kids menu. Last time I looked it was doing shorter sailings so was showing the same 4 theme nights repeated. Currently showing:

1 - Welcome Aboard

2 - French

3 - Italian

4 - UK

5 - Caribbean

6 - Mexican

7 - Aisian

8 - American (includes the baked potato soup)

9 - Royal (Lobster)

10 - Bon Voyage

We got to Tampa about 9:30am for our cruise in January. The disembarking passengers were getting off and the porters could not take our bags till sometime a bit after 10am.

You can request it but most likely it will be set as one bed when you get there. We always request it and I have yet to have them separated on arrival.

Does anyone know if you can use the coffee card to get a chai tea latte? It isn't an espresso based drink but is sold with them so I'm hoping.

I agree you might actually have more problems with the airlines than the cruise ship. Also if you still have an expired license I would take that in addition to the paper license. The cruise ship wants you to sail with them and will work with you if they can. I was able to sail using a photo of my birth certificate one time when I totally messed up and brought the wrong document with me. That being said there is no guarantee they will be able to so I would make a backup plan in case you can't get onboard.

It has been a while since I sailed but it used to be London Tea Company brand. There were 4-6 flavors. I mostly drink mint tea and it was good. For premium tea I was only aware of things like a chai tea latte but I wasn't looking either.

I have purchased it a few times but always ended up canceling before my trip. As for the internet - yes each key purchase gets one internet login so you would have 6 total.

We did actually order from the host one time. Headed over after a show to see if others from our party were still there. They were not and I had a migraine starting so I was going to just go back to the room. The host insisted I order something and brought it out to me to take back to the room.

One other thing to keep in mind is what ports of call you are going to. Closed loop cruise to Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean is not much problem but if you have South American stops it won't work. I'm not sure on Central American stops but I would get a passport for there as well to be on the safe side.

Pretty sure Wipeout Cafe is where we got made to order omelets back in 2019.

A friend and I have this one booked too. Try 3 for the ABC islands, The last two got moved due to the pandemic.

If I don't get the refreshment package I usually stick to iced tea and whatever the other free flavored item is. Breakfast it is juice and the rest of the day I usually see some sort of flavored water in the machines. I used to bring drink packets like Crystal Lite but found them to be more trouble than they were worth. I also bring a water bottle (knockoff yeti sort of thing) and cold brew mint tea which is my everyday go to in normal life.
