Tortola had decent snorkeling. We went to Brewers Bay. Not crowded, relatively simple and basic and I would repeat it. The bay is very shallow and the good snorkeling is along the left side, against the rock. Of the other ports you have listed, Cozumel is fair, Aruba is amazing and Bonaire is on my bucket list for snorkel ports. Turks and Caicos also has some decent snorkeling.

In all my cruises, I've only ever taken one Carnival excursion. The first excursion on my very first cruise. Thats it. But, I am expecting for us to be required to take a Carnival excursion in order to be allowed to leave the ship at least for the foreseeable future. I am about 400 days out and honestly in normal times, I would have had at least half of my excursions booked by now. I think I'm just going to wait to see how it goes when cruises resume. The thought of having to do somewhere like Cozumel with Carnival almost me want to make port days, ship pool days. We shall see.

I use Google Maps and Marinetraffic.

We were scheduled on a Journeys cruise in 19 days. We had two one way flights scheduled with two different airlines and both of them have issued me a credit to use. One by 12/31/21 and the other by 5/30/22 and I am quite happy with arrangement. I suspect we will finally cruise next fall and I will use them then.

Has anyone been able to successfully be able to request a refund from Wet Money for a Golf Cart rental on a cruise that I didn't cancel but Carnival did? They have offered instead a credit for a year but hopefully Grand Turk isn't a stop on the next cruise we take. (Love Grand Turk, but haven't booked a replacement yet and I'm looking at cruises that do not stop there). Thanks in advance!

Oh my, just fantastic! You are 90 years old (I'm 30 behind you), you cruise, you drive AND you know how to quote on CC! I'm in love! Your writing style is wonderful, I am so hooked! Thank you so much for sharing with us!

Yes, we have never had a problem requesting a booth with only two people. We might have to wait a few extra minutes but we don't mind for the ease of having room to breathe at dinner!

We ask for a booth to avoid the 2 inch "private" tables. Always works and we always have privacy in a booth. We don't mind waiting for an extra few minutes in order to receive a booth.
