So please explain how you would calculate how to price down your coverage if your main concern is strictly medical coverage?

Unlike most 1 bedroom Grand Suites, I find the cabins on Harmony and Symphony very small and segmented by the half wall that runs down the middle of the room. Whoever designed the layout did a poor job. Does anyone else feel that way?

Agreed with all the above. So disappointing. There are many cruisers who have to fly into Florida, and a 3-5 or even 6 day cruise just isn't worth the price of an airline ticket

...And this is why cruisin' is so great. There's something for everyone!!!

My mistake - it was a 7 day cruise back in 2010. So it was shorter than I thought. Point being for me, no more January cruises out of Bayonne!

Have to agree with Lovetocruise 2002. When Oasis first was deployed, their home port was Bayonne, NJ Never cruised out of NJ until then. Cruised out of Bayonne in January for a 10 day cruise to the Southern Caribbean. When we embarked they were shoveling snow off the pool deck. When we arrived at our cabin there were icicles hanging from our balcony railing. Two days inside the ship until we hit warmer weather south of Florida. Then another 2 days inside the ship as we travelled back to Bayonne. So our 10 day cruise to escape the winter weather of Michigan ended up to be a 7 day cruise. Lesson learned. Never cruised from Bayonne in January since.

We currently have a 10 day cruise out of Miami 2025 so I know those cruises exist I know there are long cruises in 2026 out of Cape Liberty but I prefer a departure port in Florida. Any idea when those might be posted. The most current deployment schedule indicates nothing regarding long cruises in January 2026 other than East coast ports

I know many of you will think that I'm crazy, but I'm a planner. According to the posted schedule for 2025-2026 ship deployments, the week of February 19, 2024 Long Caribbean cruises were to be posted for the sailing time of October 2025 - April 2026. I would like to book a 9 - 11 day cruise for January 2026 from Miami. As of today, I haven't seen any of those sailings posted and I've been checking every day. Anyone else waiting?

Leaving Cape Liberty in January to cruise the Caribbean wasn't fun for me. Upon boarding the ship, the staff was shoveling snow off of the pool deck in puffer jackets. Once we got to our balcony room ,we were greeted by icicles hanging from the balcony rail. This did not compute with my idea of a Caribbean cruise. This could be an adventure for some.. I'm from Michigan and I just wanted to get out of the cold. As some have said, expect 2 days inside going and 2 days inside coming back to Cape Liberty (sea very rough. Ship doors to outside decks were locked and no one could go outside). Not suitable for pool side sitting unless there is a Solarium. Winter weather in this neck of the woods is iffy. Just be ready for anything and have fun!

Looking for some recommendations so that I may purchase battery operated night lights for our cabin. We are seniors and if you have to get up in the middle of the night, it is impossible to make your way around the cabin. Plugs are at a premium so I'm looking for battery operated , non-motion sensored night lights. Any recommmendations are appreciated.

Thank you so very much for the information. It has left no doubts in my mind.

Sorry SpeedNoodles. As I said I am a confused senior citizen and am confused as to how all this works

This is a cruise from Florida to the eastern Caribbean. I'm confused about the 3 days before boarding. Does that include the day you are boarding as day 3 or Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and then board on that 4th day?

So it is now 3 DAYS before boarding that vaccinated people must produce a negative Covid-19 antigen or PCR test on cruises longer than 6 days. So if my cruise leaves on Sunday, I can take my test on a Thursday? Just want to make sure that I am crossing all my t's and dotting all my i's as I am a senior citizen and find this all confusing.

Look on Amazon, They have many cell phone/table holders. I bought one on Amazon that is a SAIJI Table Stand Holder (also for cell phones) that is height adjustable and has a 360 degree rotating mounting dock It did the job perfectly. It is now selling for $29.74
