  1. Exactly. Specific dining rooms depending on which option you choose. You can not make reservations until June 17.
  2. Gratuities are included in the package, though some people tip extra along the way. 15 drinks per day pp are included at $15. This amount covers most drinks. If you choose something over $15 they will just charge you the overage plus 18%. So a $20 drink would be $5.90
  3. That doesn’t sound right. Should be $60 x10 Did you book online yourself or thru a planner. I’d call first thing in themorning
  4. Few years ago, put some gummies in pill box with my regular pills. Didn’t realize it was forbidden as was legal in my state. Don’t think I’d try again
  5. Went to Reflections last month. No sea grass. The beach is not as nice as Eagle but it is close to pier. We did go to Passions for dinner as we were in port till 10 pm and it was lovely.
  6. Prebooked 6 pm for 2 and was never able to get table for 2 without an hour wait. Why bother with reservations.? I guess people eating at 5 had not yet finished and only tables were for 6-8 If we wanted to eat at 6 we had to share
  7. Didn’t see any bikes or rental of snorkel gear.
  8. We went to crab shack on our recent Caribbean cruise. Was $39 pp. It was a pop up at dinner and not eligible for any of the included dining options. We ordered the cold bucket. My DH had most of it. The steamed clams and mussels served on ice were not my thing. I should have ordered the hot option.
  9. Beach is clean. Sea a little difficult to get out of for us older folks. Has that little hump near shoreline and you have a tendency to sink into.
  10. Several years ago I did ship excursion to soggy dollar. That way I felt confident we would not miss our departure. Had plenty of time to indulge in some painkillers
  11. We originally asked to go to La Plywood. Taxi dropped us off right next door at kalingo. We rented chairs. No need for umbrella as plenty of trees. We purchased a couple of drinks while there. A lot cheaper than all inclusive. Taxi was $16 each way. We arranged for our driver to pick us up also. BTW, looking over at La Playa it looked pretty rundown
  12. I was on that Ruby cruise also and found those omelets very odd. First cruise I had to order then have them delivered to my table. I was always able to watch them being made. Also, DH could not order “over easy” eggs in buffet but could in the dining room. I also think someone has to teach the staff how to carve meat.
  13. Got one recently. I removed the cookie, mini cupcake and large lollipop. Ended up with just an average sundae. One line for the sundaes and cones. People wanting just a cone were irritated that they had to wait while my special dessert was assembled
  14. Trash cans found on each pool deck area
  15. We made reservations months before for 2 at 6pm. Never got a table for 2. We were told it would be an hour wait. Why offer reservations if they are not able to provide? Feel the dining rooms are still set up for the old 2 seating times as most tables were for 6-8. We,too, sat at a table for 8 at breakfast although there were only 2 of us. Chair hogs were out in force. Before 6 am all loungers in shade were reserved. In Martinique, we got a lounger around 9 and the ones next to us were reserved. By 3 pm no one had been there. Had an urge to accidentally drop my ice cream on their stuff. Lol
  16. We went last week. $14 taxi each way. Pool was great as was staff. Can not use beach without water shoes $25 pp with $10 bar/restaurant credit. No problem getting lounger.
  17. I hope I get this. Have always gotten balcony and free play offers. On Feb. 23 offers expired and I now get 35-45% off. No thank you. Presently onboard with 17000 points. Can’t wait to see the CBS offer. For the money I pour in these machines, I can do a nice all inclusive and not have to fight for a lounge chair

    Table for 2

    An hour wait with a reservation. You are right that early diners are probably still eating, then why allow 6 pm reservation? We are not the only ones complaining. They need to set up more 2 and 4 person tables

    Table for 2

    Thanks for all the replies. It appears the dining room is still set up for the old 2 seatings way of dining. Most tables are 6-8. At breakfast they seated us alone at a table for 8 ! They are apologetic but cant/ won’t do anything about it. Think I’ll try early tonight and see what happens
  20. We are currently on the Ruby. Months ago we reserved a table for 2 at 6 pm. Have yet to not have to share. Most tables are for 6-8. There are barely any 2 tops in the dining room. I’ve never had this on previous ships. I’m not antisocial, my DH and I just wanted this as it’s our 25 anniversary
  21. We went yesterday. $20 pp. taxi $16 one way. Drinks about $15 plus 10% service and 12% tax. Quiet and relaxing until crew showed up around 1 pm. Don’t blame them they deserve to have fun after working so hard
  22. You can always use the restroom

    Oil spill effects

    Has anyone been to the beach since mid February? Read that the oil spill off Trinidad is effecting the beaches in Bonair.
  24. I think a major consideration is the size of the wound. I am a visiting nurse and we teach family members how to change dressings as long as they are not too deep or too large. Infection prevention is most important. Would your MD consider ordering an antibiotic prophylacticly ? Also packing products containing silver act as an anti microbial If you decide to go this route, bring your own supplies and remember to wash your hands
  25. Agree with above. You get to snorkel with the turtles. We did Silver Moon and the lunch was also delicious. Just be sure you are arriving in port early enough
