Looking forward to more.

We just stayed in a regular balcony on the Venezia on deck 6 just above this area. We could see everything on the patios below so not much privacy. But the walkway was seldom used. We are on the Panorama in two weeks in the same area. There should be more activity on the walkway because there is a pool which the Venezia did not have one.

What a tragic thing to happen.

Saw a really cheap excursion on Viator for the glass bottom boat to the Arch and it says meeting up place is Dock D Marina. Is this near where you get off the tender? I know you can book them once you are on shore but would like to know anyway. Thanks.

Prices for the Internet just became available for both my Odyssey and Symphony sailings next year at $21.99/day. I paid $19.99/day for my Liberty sailing in September. Do you think the price will come down later in the year? And if I book it now and use my OBC will Royal return the OBC for me to use if I cancel and rebook?

If I book a Mexican bus tour through Viator, do they charge a foreign transaction fee on your credit card if that card does not have the foreign transaction exemption? I called them but got someone whose accent was hard to understand.

Got it. Thanks.

Don't criticize her. JustSam won American Idol a few years ago.

Oops! It was the lounge/bar overlooking the pool area.

Before my Miraviglia cruise last October there were discussions here and on FB about a certain ethnic group that was being obnoxious, cutting lines, reserving seats in theater, etc. I found it wasn't too bad on my cruise. The ceiling and stairs get old pretty fast. The only quiet place to sit was in the piano bar on deck 17. The MDR food wasn't too good. I did not like a set dining time either. But the shows were great. Also enjoyed the after hours pizza and snacks.

Can you tell us about the ports you visited? We are going next month but on another cruise line.

We were just on the 12 day Journey cruise on Venezia. Breakfast only on port days and some days breakfast only and some days brunch on Sea days.

I only mentioned Walmart so I can get some pesos to use for the bus to Centro. Too much trouble getting them in advance from my bank or finding one in Mexico. For anything bigger I will use my credit card. Thought maybe I could buy a candy bar or bag of chips, give $5USD and get back change in pesos.

Another perspective is maybe if they serve less variety maybe people would stop taking everything that is put out. I've seen many people filling their plates sky-high (pun intended) and then just taking a few bites of of each. A lot of wasted food.

So will Walmart accept my US$ and give me change in pesos?
