Our Walgreens was easy. 

Is CORY still the cruise director?

blue_water…thank you so much for the information.

I second Random Wind. I go out with them every time I am in St Maarten. 

 

I second Random Wind  fun day, great crew and a Tarzan swing  

Has anyone been to Water Island lately and can verify if there are loungers for rent at the beach?  Also, should we bring our snorkeling mask even though we don’t swim out too far from land?
thanks for any information. 

.  In the main theatre every other row is blocked off.  
 

maybe on deck 5 but no blocked rows on deck 4

Here’s a novel idea…come across Florida to West Palm Beach or Ft L and take the Brightline commuter train to Miami. Both stations have parking garages, trains run approx every hour, and there is a free ride to the port from the Miami station. The driving distance wouldn’t be all that different. It might take you a little longer but you wouldn’t need to drive in Miami. Google Brightline.

It appears our balcony door is locked. We are on the wind side. Does anyone know if they have electronic locks on balcony doors that can be controlled in cases like this? 

There’s a small manual lock mechanism on the sliding door frame that will/can lock your slider. It’s a push type lever. 

Pre-Covid taxis to Paradise Beach Club were $15 each way. 

I called RC and the rep was surprised. She removed it and sent a new booking confirmation which we printed out.

To provide a response is probably a drop down box on the reservation system.  There may be one or more options with "Vaccinated".  This one may be one that should not be used hence "(unused)".  A different "Vaccinated" selection is probably available. 

 

In a database, if how data is used in the background for reports is changed, you don't want to delete an option that was previously used because it would skew the results.  Instead you try to change the name to alert someone not to use.

 

However, this is RC IT and it could mean just about anything.  

You are probably correct. Royals IT department isn’t the greatest.

Could this possibly mean that this is the guest’s first cruise since the shutdown so Royal has no “proof” the person is vaccinated other than the guest’s answer to the question?  If so, would this change after the CDC card has been loaded into the system?

Have cruised twice in September on the Freedom and last month on the Symphony.  Was vaxxed in the spring and uploaded copies of vax cards. 
 

What does “unused” mean. We’ve never seen this before. The rep I spoke to had no idea. 

Oops, fingers aren’t working. 

With the BOGO dinner first or second night can two people use that BOGO on night one.  

WISCONSIN FAN. Which excursion did you take?  We are in the Symph this coming Saturday. 
BTW…we lived in Waukesha and Oconomowoc Lake years ago.

Do you recall if masks are required in the casino?

Masks were not required IN the casino. 

Can you tell me if the Symphony still has the horrible (in my opinion) Adirondack chairs on the pool deck. 

Thank you so much. 

Thank you. We were hoping to snorkel at one of them. Any advice?

We hear the seaweed is terrible in the islands now. True?

Does anyone know if these two places are one in the same?

We will be sharing Coco Cay with the Allure. On the current 4 day we had the Adventure one day and the Mariner on our second day. It wasn’t too crowded. 

I notice you said you were pulled for a “random bag search”. What did this entail?  Did they have you open your suitcases?  The way we pack for disembarkation is crazy. I hate to think I have to rearrange everything so it fits again. 

They told me up to 3 weeks. 

Our new cabin on the Freedom (which had been the Nav) was posted on our account today. We didn’t care for the location, simply called RC after looking at the now available cabins in the same category, and requested the new cabin number. No issues. I would suggest you check cabin availability for all three cruises and see what cabins are available for all theee, call them, and request cabin changes.
