My husband and I booked this cruise back in 2021 figuring that COVID might be at a better place at that time. We live in Melbourne, FL which makes it much easier to get to and from the Port of Miami. We have purchased the Key for this cruise to give it a try as we are older now and the appeal is the ease of embarkation, debarkation and of course the meals that come with those. We will have a balcony so we are hoping the free room service will be available as we do love having our breakfast on our balcony and watching the world go by. If it isn't, then we will just have a nice continental breakfast. So far, we have reserved Trikes Aruba as we are Harley riders and love the wind in our hair. We have also reserved a golf cart through Bonaire Cruisers. Looking forward to taking our time exploring Bonaire without having to rush back to the ship and being able to return it at 5 pm. The only shore excursion that we have booked through Royal is in Curacao which includes a tour of the island, the Curacao distillery and a couple of hours at Mambo beach. After returning, we will spend time exploring around town. Still haven't bought drink packages or specialty dining, more time to think about it. We also look forward to meeting new people on the ship - one of our favorite things about traveling!
