  1. I've done this with the alcohol package in upgrading to premium from a free perk I had. I did it right at the sign up table where they were selling the packages. At least once this was in the terminal.
  2. Make your reservations as soon as you board. Other than a little flexibility here and there, you'll get the dates and times you're looking for. Then you can go on CRUISE () control and enjoy your time.
  3. One thing that's annoying is, I can see all of the pictures without an issue. If I hop on another browser, then I can see they're gone.
  4. As long as you have some flexibility, you should be able to find 6 PM dinner reservations on 3 of the 13 other nights. Make the reservations as soon as you board. But on a cruise of that length, there's usually fewer people in the specialty restaurants. They will often offer deals onboard.
  5. If you have problems with Chrome, definitely clear the cookies. You can use an option that will only clear those in the last hour or the last day. That way you won't blow away all of your settings. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
  6. As aggressive as the straw market can be, Falmouth can be much worse. I do recommend going outside the gates, but only with organized tours, as has been said. Royal Caribbean often has a tour that includes shopping. Otherwise, the area in the dock area is VERY nice and has lots of shopping. Although your family may be looking for more "authentic" goods.
  7. Try clearing your cookies. Sometimes that makes a difference. Otherwise, it's possible that the website is having one of those really rare glitches it never has.
  8. Great. If you remember, come back in a few hours and check again. It seems it worked initially and then died off.
  9. I haven't done Stingray City in Antigua, but I have in Grand Cayman. What are you terrified of? The stingrays themselves? They are very docile and I've never seen or heard of any incident. Here's a pic of my son, 7 at the time, holding a stingray.
  10. Depends on the context. In the Caribbean I don't think anyone will be concerned. While passing an iceberg in the North Atlantic, maybe wait a bit.
  11. Always avoid discussing politics and religion while on a cruise!
  12. I can see that. Especially since the bottle you're taking with you is probably $200+.
  13. I'm an IT guy too. I also do not get it! Makes no sense. I understand that some of these conditions could be complicated, BUT NOT THIS COMPLICATED!!!
  14. Yeah, I know. Crazy, right? I can still see it. I guess I'll have to start sending photos to Photobucket again...
  15. Better to just find a liquor store in the port city and buy it there. Got some AWESOME wine in Barcelona for less than the "wine diapers" cost.
  16. You'll be in the thick of it still at 9 AM. The problem is there aren't really comfortable places to hang out and wait. Almost everything is closed and people are waiting in designated waiting areas to hear their numbers being called. But it's still the best way to go if you're not in a rush.
  17. 10:40 is doable, but only because FLL is so close. But what you're risking is there being an issue at the port and no one getting off till much later than planned. It happens every now and then.
