Since the excursions occur from or in The Bahamas a sales tax is required under that county's laws.

Can anyone confirm that the former Song of America (Celestyal Olympia) is being scrapped? It has been stated in a prohibited blog that this is the case. I cannot find any news articles on this. She is the ship that started our many wonderful cruises with RCI!

On our 6 November Mariner voyage I went to Jamies on the next to last night to book a meal for the last night. The Manager told me they were offering a 20% discount ship wide. We had already used our C&A Bogos that cruise. Tupperny, If you don't see any being offered around the ship, just ask. Bon voyage! ps, I lived in Penfield in 1990.

Port Canaveral is our "home port" and certainly one of the easiest for boarding processing due to a great staff. Parking or being dropped off and baggage processing is excellent. Tampa is also very nice for the same reasons. There are several nice hotels in the Bay area when we decide to stay over the night before embarkation.

Never a problem in getting CPAP supplies!

We've gone into Bermuda twice following hurricanes. Not all services were back up and running yet. We just hung around the Dock Yard until things opened up.

We watch most of Ben and David's cruise videos. I was not surprised by this review. I believe they erred in not elevating their concerns to the Dining Room Manager. Their servers obviously were not experienced and should have been replaced or better supervised. Hopefully the HD is following up on this videos concerns! Also their comments about the menus were absolutely right on. Nightly menus that barely reflect content with a majority of dishes in that theme! We too were surprised by this.

Check Starlink coverage. Most ocean coverage is just off shore of covered countries. Recent voyages to Mexico and Honduras out of Florida we had sporadic coverage from North of Havana until getting near a port of call.

My choice would be to eat at Margaritaville and allow him to return to the ship from there. It is directly in sight of the security check point onto the pier. We prefer it to Senior Frogs and it is usually less crowded.

Susan Adams, Jewel of the Seas is on vacation and will return April 2nd. I have no info on who is filling in.

We were on her recently and were told mostly Marine side stuff.

Yea!!!

We are in 9578 on the Starboard hump and the cabin is in excellent condition. The couch has no wear or tear! She is one of our favorite ships.

You will get a list of departure times based on luggage tags the night before you arrive at PC. Recent cruises on Mariner we have tried to be near the last of since a family member picks us up. It is usually between 9 and 930.
