I appreciate it!

Great review! We'll be on the 3/9 sailing. If you happen to get a chance if you're at Cafe Promenade, could you ask if they stock any gluten free cookies there? Other ships I have sailed offered pre-packaged Udi's chocolate chip cookies behind the counter. Much appreciated if you could!

Sailing on 3/924, when we originally booked 5 months ago the dining time was 5:30pm. Somewhere along the way the documents changed to 5:00pm, however the app still says 5:30pm. Which one would it be most likely? 5pm dining is definitely undesirable so trying to decide whether to switch to MTD. Thanks!

Are the pools heated on the Independence? I have read a few articles about it being the first ship in the fleet with heated pools. We're contemplating changing our Dec 26th Nassau/Coco Cay sailing due to the potentially chilly weather. If the pools are truly heated, that would be a game changer. Anyone with recent experience of winter cruising on IOS? Thanks!

Great!!! Thank you for that!

Anyone have details about where the pre-boarding rapid test occurs? Is it just outside the terminal before you show your documentation? Any tips for a smooth process? Our arrival appointment time is 1030am, and with reports of how awful that line is outside, we're planning to arrive at 10am.

Anyone have luck dining GF at Izumi Sushi or hibachi? I'll be on Harmony next week and wondering if they have Tamari (GF soy sauce) and also how well they handle cross contact?

Thanks for the replies! We are on the Harmony 7 night in June that has Coco Cay on the last day. Since it's obvious there seem to be more COVID positives as of late, it is definitely a riskier proposition sailing with a child who HAS to be tested regardless of symptoms or not.

On the cruises 5 nights or longer, the under 5's have to be tested again before the end. Does anyone know what day of the cruise that actually is? Thanks!

Has anyone had any experience/luck with getting a Kummelweck on some GF bread/roll? Or any other good options you've had there?

We're booked on the Harmony for the 6/12/22 sailing and our Main Seating dining time is 5pm. That's pretty early in comparison with all our past cruises. It appears My Time Dining wouldn't start until 630pm, so switching to that might be out of the question. Anyone with recent experience that had 5pm Main Seating? What's the grace period for showing up?
