Yes, that is the part that I read. I will have to see what loads in the cruise planner.

I saw that too! How do you book time on it? I saw from their port link that it has to be booked through the cruise planner? Or did you guys just walk up the day of and book?

Just told Hubby this morning that we are headed to Grand Turk in July in place of Labadee. He is excited because it looks like there is a Flowrider at the port area, much like Puerto Plata.

There was no option to change ships/itineraries on my letter yesterday.

Looks like you and Dan are having a blast!

And through to the end of July as well. Just got this for our Adventure sailing 7/27/2024

Oh, this whole trip in July is YOLO unfrugal! I wanted to pull the plug on the whole thing but we couldn't do that to D17 since it's for her graduation. I get it. Hubby still thinks he is 20. lol

We looked up a tour by them. It was the Key Master tour, the one where you open the Sistine Chapel. It was almost $4K for all 4 of us! I closed that browser pretty quickly lol

That sounds exactly like my 17 year old lol

It was discussed in this thread and I think also another…. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/boards/index.php?/topic/44059-what-ship-will-replace-the-harmony-in-galveston-in-2026/page/3/

I looked at so many tour operators over the last month. We ended up booking with LivTours for all our tours in Barcelona and Rome. I would have loved to book with them for the port days too on the cruise but I chickened out and went with the cruise line tours. Don’t want to risk missing the ship in an area that I am not familiar with. I was really impressed when dealing with LivTours over email and Whatsapp while planning, hoping this means the actual tour will be great too!

No offense taken! The OG credit here goes to the likes of @twangster @WAAAYTOOO and @CGTLH. I was reading those blogs long before I ever started blogging. And I fully agree with @OCSC Mike, any blog is better than none. And it’s even better that we all have our different styles. I too am looking forward to following @calvink669’s trip! I have plans to go back on Icon one of these days!

You mean the Intercontinental? Lol. I do love that place, even though our last stay there in March had some hiccups. We will still be back. BTW, I am so jealous that you will be spending 14 nights in that room!

We are doing a private golf cart tour and the food walking tour as well! We are booked with LivTours. @Jkaczano spoke highly of them in her previous blog. Can’t wait to hear about your experiences!

It does! We had it booked for the 4 of us for NYE 2018 on Indy (not Mariner but I believe those rooms are set up the same). That was a sailing that we booked only a few months out from sailing so there were not many choices left. But then closer to the cruise, I couldn't bring myself to do it. A Cat. 1K (Ultra Spacious Ocean View) opened up and I moved us. In retrospect, that was the worst room that we have ever stayed in! Front of the ship, so loud, so much motion. I would assume the Panoramic rooms on those two ships are going to be similar.
