You can always buy some from guest services to have for the toilets, etc. Also, you can get some at an ATM after we dock.

Good morning! We are going to CoCo Cay with our granddaughter soon. My question is can she snorkel (with her own equipment) without paying a fee? I was looking at the excursion email I received and it offers snorkeling for 39ish and I was wondering if that is for rental equip or if it is also for just being able to snorkel there? She and her dad want to snorkel and if they need to pay to be able to do so, they will. I just want them to be prepared. Thanks so much for any help, I really appreciate it! Any additional info about snorkeling there is greatly appreciated! Have a great day! EJ

Any signs of SpaceLink being installed? I know they are working to install on all ships soon, just wondering if you saw any evidence of it? Thanks!

We sailed on Anthem from NJ to New England and Canada….it was an amazing trip! When booking this year we were disappointed to see Anthem wasn’t offered, but….we love the Adventure too. We are also on the Oct 13th sailing.

I looked at their website but can't find any rates for a tour or cab for a few hours. When you get back would you please post a review of your trip with Woody, and the rate if you don't mind? Thanks so much! Have a wonderful cruise, we are going in Oct. Cheers, EJ

Will not travel without one!!! Know exactly where your bags are…

Other cruise lines already are! And some airlines also…

I actually loved HAL! It is or seems so, to be for a more mature crowd (not necessarily all seniors by any means, but not a rowdy crowd for sure) and there were very few children onboard and they were well behaved children at that. We had a blast, 50’s music one night…think “at the hop” dancing, etc. The food was excellent, impeccable service, entertainment too…can’t fault them in any way. That was pre Covid so I am sure, like all lines, they are doing their very best with what they have. That being said, we are “loyal to royal”…..

My cruise disappeared also and our sailing (goes into Canada) testing is still on. My 🤞🏻are still crossed for my RoyalUp, but I feel chances are very slim for acceptance. We’ve won before and it was wonderful! We are almost D+ and in all those cruises were never visited by the “upgrade fairy” so I am very happy with the RoyalUp program that at least gives me hope and a chance for an upgrade. That being said, we always book the minimum cabin category we would be happy with…so either way, it’s gonna be a great trip! Funny tho, we sailed many years ago with friends on Holland America to Alaska..our first and only time on HAL…we were given a free upgrade to a suite! It was a wonderful surprise!!! Wonders never cease….😅 Good luck everyone….

No, if you get a FCC, they will not pay. I am unaware of any cruise insurance that will…they ask when you file a claim if you are receiving compensation of any kind from the original source. They will only pay for your actual losses. Say, you have to reschedule and the cruise line charges you a fee, they will refund the additional fees, etc.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, etc. I purchased the same type insurance we always buy. If we had to cancel, it would only be for a reason that would be covered anyway.

Steve, my husband had said he did not want another cruise credit! I finally convinced him that we should just buy the insurance we always do that covers medical cancellation and medical evacuation if needed. Among other reasons also. So, that’s what I did. Thanks for your reply!

Hi everyone! Any suggestions for “cancel for any reason” insurance companies? Anyone bought it recently? Thanks in advance for suggestions, just hoping to find it in a fairly reasonable range.

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much!!! This is his post… I just attempted to check in for my flight to Rome tomorrow. Flying from the US - switch planes in Paris then off to Rome. I couldn’t check in because I don’t have a Visa for the Schengen Area? I was told by the Airline to call the Italy Consulate in Boston. They are closed now, so I will try tomorrow. Has any other US Residents ran into this problem?
