Weather and the next 7 days
ColdRingo replied to CanHardlyWait's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
We leave on Saturday out of Fort Lauderdale, 2 sea days then the St. Croix and Tortola. Hard to say if we'll get an itinerary change or not. Regardless, if all they do take the Adventure of the Seas out and do circles in the Gulf, I'm still going to enjoy the hell out of my vacation! -
I think I booked mine 1 day at a time, which worked. Not as efficient though....

This thread was a great read - wife and I are sailing on the Apex in December to try out Celebrity. I'm not upset about the status match at all..

This explains why there aren't any CoCo Beach Club options for our August 2024 cruise...oh well. It gives me a reason to periodically check the planner.

Just got off the Harmony in April of this year - they had a ton of Blanton's for sale at the Port Merchant's shop. We picked up 2 bottles, $110 each, which is about halfway between retail and what you can find on the secondary market. No complaints from us!

Beach Break with Open Bar - Costa Maya - Beach Escape Club
ColdRingo replied to lisabeth's topic in Shore Excursions
I haven't done this, but last week on the Harmony we were able to cancel our beach excursion in Costa Maya (with open bar) because of the sargassum in the seas and on the beaches there. Royal actually sent us flyers giving us the option on Day one of the cruise, so our assumption was that the beaches there aren't currently that great. We had a nice, mostly empty ship day... -
Excursion recommendations for Roatan and Costa Maya?
ColdRingo replied to queenbee's topic in Shore Excursions
Our recent cruise (April 15-22 on the Harmony) had a stop in Roatan. We picked this excursion: Mayan Princess Beach Experience with Lunch and Drinks. The club was nice, lunch was good (5 courses) and it included an open bar. The beach was very well kept, and chairs were provided with umbrellas and some open beach beds. Water was beautiful - it was a great choice for anyone wanting a few hours at a nice beach. I think it's a newer option, because one of the Royal Caribbean shore excursion team accompanied us to evaluate the excursion. I chatted with him afterward, and he said he thought it was well managed and would be expanding the number of slots available for each ship that stopped there. My lone complaint would be that every 5 or 10 minutes someone is coming up to you and selling shirts, trinkets, massages, etc. As long as you can get past that, it's a pretty good choice (IMO) in Roatan. -

Health questions the day before - not there?
ColdRingo replied to Bowen's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Same thing happened to us yesterday for our sailing out if Miami on the Harmony. Took about 14 seconds to answer the questions during boarding though. -

junior suite priority boarding gone?
ColdRingo replied to knewby's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Just boarded Harmony in Miami with Sea Class designation. Waved us right into the Suite line and we were on the ship in 10 minutes. It was the smoothest boarding process we've had yet. -

That's one thing we always ask for from the stateroom attendant - 2 extra pilows!

Let you know in 2 days how our Junior Suite with Sea Class and Diamond tags goes in Miami.... -
Mixed bag for us - have had a couple of cruises where the beds weren't all that comfortable, but generally they're fine. One nice thing about the JS cabins and up is the pillowtop mattress, which we generally find more comfortable. YMMV, of course.

Harmony Coastal Kitchen menus - 2023 editions?
ColdRingo replied to Cruizer Rick's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
I just checked the app for our sailing in 3 days - it's there for CK. I see Lunch, Dinner, and Bar menus for all 7 days. Since we're in a junior suite and don't appear likely to win that RU upgrade, we probably won't get a chance to eat there regardless. We'll check though, never know if they have a spot! -

Nice! We're doing this exact same cruise in....3 days. April 15th sailing. I'll be interested in reading your notes about it and comparing it our own experience.
