I know the blue bloods downtown pretty much hate having an ugly Carnival ship being 
so close to the historic area, so they've finally gotten their way and Carnival is leaving.
 
I was thinking......Carnival is a pretty dirty ship, emissions-wise, and that is a big reason 
why they're hated here.   HOWEVER - Royal is a much cleaner running vessel and wouldn't
"soot up" their homes as badly.   
I know it's a pipe dream, but how freaking awesome would it be to have a real cruise line
home porting 15 minutes from my house?    
 
OHPLEASE OHPLEASE OHPLEASE

I love rising tide 

Yes, at high or low tide. 

You’ll see full-face masks for sale online that incorporate the snorkel into them.  These sound tempting.  Do.  Not.  Buy.  One.
I’m a diver (SCUBA) and have never seen so many people having issues.  4 couples on my boat had brand new full-face masks and every one of them had issues.
The snorkel itself can be connected with the ball valve vent facing front or rear.  All 4 couples had the snorkel on backward.  Meaning: you can be face down and not get air when you expect to.
The mask WILL fog up.  You’re exhaling into the mask instead of directly from your mouth through the snorkel.  This is also unnecessary work breathing-wise.  You have to move more air to get the same result.
Clearing a fogged traditional (eyes and nose) mask is a 1-2 second job.  Just get a little water in it and pop it right back on after tilting it to let the water out.  The full face mask folks were struggling the entire time, with most choosing to swap out for an operator-supplied mask and snorkel.
I'd ban these things if I could.  It's the closest to safety issues I've seen in the water in a long time.  If you do get one, make sure to try it out in a pool first.
Well-tracked data is still scant on these masks, but I wouldn't use one.

I thought this was going to be about ghosts....

All I know is that when I'm on the pool deck, they make me walk on one side and everyone else on the other.  Something about "balance" or some such.

4100 passengers.  Sorry, I don't have the C&A breakdown.

Grab a taxi (you should be able to find one before your cruise) and head to Orient Beach or some other awesome spot.
It's not expensive, and there are bars/restaurants right there at the beach.

Loved his Florida vacation vlog.  
Very happy for him and his girlfriend!!

It may be a bit of a risk, but you might get better pricing if you wait until you board.
We did that a few years ago on Oasis and got a good price (sorry, can't remember the cost).

Go to the pub, Dazzles, and Jazz at 4 at night.  Take a ride on the rising tide bar.

Boarded today with the Costco Covid test and no questions asked. 

Oh please post! We all need to see this! 😉

They're awesome.  We've done them three times and always had fun.

I don’t think this will make much of a difference to most people.  I am vaccinated and boosted, my wife is vaccinated but not boosted.  She is not going to get the booster just to get a test one day earlier.  If it was to eliminate the need to get a test she probably would.

KLA!   How have you been?   Missed your posts.
 
When we go to St Thomas, we shop/stroll downtown a bit, maybe grab a bite, and then
we just find a taxi and tell him where we would like to go.  They'll take you on a tour, or 
take you to anywhere you want.  It's a lot of fun if you have other people with you.  I remember
one time this lady says as we're on our way up the mountain that she doesn't like curvy roads...
well, it's a mountain so there are a ton of 'em!  She was a hot mess when we got back to town!
I do like getting a banana daiquiri up on Mountaintop.
