We just booked Star of the Seas for March of 2026! I've never booked any trip that far in advance. It's a long time to wait!

I’m going on Wonder tomorrow and just purchased 8 bottles of water to put in my carryon. I didn’t realize until a few minutes ago that the bottles are supposed to be under 17 ounces. I bought 20 ounce bottles. Will they not allow me to bring them on board?

Thanks so much for the suggestions. I ended up booking Cortrans. They had a lot of positive reviews.

What's the latest they will let you stay on the ship on disembarkation day? I want to book a shuttle for transport to MCO and I have to pick a time that morning. We aren't in a hurry as our flight doesn't leave until 4 p.m. Would we be able to stay on the ship until 9 a.m.?

We will be on Wonder of the Seas next week and will be disembarking on Sunday, November 19. We need transportation to MCO after we leave the ship. I've checked into Port Canaveral Connection shared shuttle service, which got terrible reviews, and a couple other ones and none of them seem to be very reliable. I finally decided to use Go Port shared shuttle but now I just read bad reviews about them too. There are six of us. I don't know if we should try to use a ride service, such as Uber, or a private car service maybe or a shared shuttle. One of the people in our group has breathing difficulties and can't walk very far so I don't want something where we have to go quite a distance with luggage to meet them. We leave in a few days so I need to get something in place now. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I know they rent chairs, but do they also rent tubes or floats at Magens Bay? If so, does anyone know the cost? I can't find any recent information about it. I also read they will bring you drinks while you're in the water but I'd like to know if they still do that now. Thanks for any info.

Thank you. The bigger planes arrive in the afternoon so that's why we wanted to be there until around 3 if possible.

We want to go to Maho Beach hopefully to see some bigger planes and plan to be there from 1 - 3 p.m. If we leave Maho at 3, would that be enough time to make it if we have to be back to the ship by 5:30? I read somewhere that traffic can be really bad in the afternoon and I also read something about a draw bridge in the afternoon and to make sure you don't get caught there.

We have an upcoming cruise on Wonder of the Seas in a few weeks. I need to know how far it is to walk from the ship to the taxi stand at the port. We have someone in our group with health issues and he can't walk too far. Does Royal Caribbean provide assistance to people, such as a wheelchair or tram at this port? If it's a short distance, maybe a quarter mile, he could probably do that but it will also depend on the heat that day. Thanks.

Thanks so much for the information. I just went on the app and now I see where it's listed. Appreciate you getting back to me!

Actually, that's what I meant, the Dress Your Best nights. I forgot they changed the name. So are they always on nights two and six on a seven night cruise?

We will be on the November 12 sailing on Wonder of the Seas and I would like to know if there's a way to find out when the formal nights are?

Ok, thanks.

We recently reached Diamond status and will be on a cruise coming up in a few weeks. I know we will get 4 drink vouchers per day which I assume are tied to our Seapass cards but if we order a bottled water or soda, is there a way not to use a voucher for that so that we can save it for an alcohol drink?

Thanks, everyone, for your recommendations.

For anyone who has dined at these specialty restaurants, which do you think is the better choice overall?

Can you request a paper copy of the cruise compass from your stateroom attendant?

Thank you.

Thanks for replying. I looked it up and there are 4 ships in port that day, including ours. Two of the ships are much smaller than ours and they depart at 4:00 and 5:00. I'm hoping a majority of those people will leave by 2:30 or 3:00 so I think we'll plan on getting there then. I just hope we'll be able to get chairs and umbrellas.

We will be on a cruise in a few weeks and want to visit Magen's Bay and Mountain Top while we're in St. Thomas. Unfortunately, our ship doesn't dock in St. Thomas that day until 12:30. We had originally planned to go to Magen's Bay in the morning to avoid the crowds but when we realized we won't dock until 12:30, we don't know if we should go as soon as we get off the ship or wait until later in the afternoon, maybe around 3 p.m. Do you think it will be so crowded it won't even be enjoyable? Will it be hard to get chairs and/or umbrellas?

Are there plenty of taxis at Maho Beach to go back toPhilipsburg where you can grab one and not have it reserved ahead of time?

I did but didn't get a response. Thanks.

Has anyone done this specific tour with Royal Caribbean? It says you spend 2 hours at Magen's Bay and 2 hours shopping. The tour includes a stop at Mountain Top and it's listed as a 6 hour tour so I would assume the other 2 hours are spent at Mountain Top but I'm wondering how long it takes to get there and back so that it's really more like an hour there rather than 2 hours. If anyone has done this tour, could you please give your opinion and what you liked or didn't like about it. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply and the photo. That's very helpful.
