It does say, A. I guess we'll take it!😊

I just received notification that we are going to Aruba instead of Bonaire on Feb12 Nieuw Amsterdam, 5p-11p. I'm fine with the change but wondering if there will be shore excursions available? There aren't any on the app right now. Wondering if this isdue to only being an evening stop, or if it just too close? We probably will just go ashore for dinner. We have done this in the past, but our favorite Mirandi is no longer in business. Any suggestions for something beachy but nice.

How early does boarding usually begin? We have an 11:00 boarding time on Nieuw Amsterdam this Sunday. I'm assuming this is one of the earliest times other than priority?

We haven't cruised in a few years, but have always brought along our own liquid Coffeemate for breakfast. I know policies about plastics and beverages are much stricter now than in the past, but would this be OK?

Many of my choices are waitlisted also. I did go ahead and add it and used it toward a dining reservation which worked great. Looking at the shore excursion options, most that are available are far under that threshold. It seems the credit is for one excursion only regardless of cost. So if we use if for something that is $40, we leave the rest of the credit on the table, correct?

I can't remember the cost exactly , but it seemed much higher. The cost of adding the beverage package ahead of sailing is $45/day. For $5/day totaling $35 on our 7 day, seems like a no brainer to receive the additional amenities. Am I missing something? I bought the cruise on an impulse as a gift for DH on Christmas Eve, so it is a little fuzzy.

Initially I did not add the Have it All option, we were just thinking we would add the signature drink package. Now, however, we are about three weeks from sail and are being offered HIA for only $50/day. Obviously, now this makes sense. My question is about how you are credited for the specialty dining and shore excursion . If we make reservations and prepay online, can these be applied to our account? I would really like to book ahead for our choice of times, but don't want to pay if I can't be reimbursed with the credit.

I am looking for a morning at a resort in Curacao for our cruise in February. I have read Avila is beach only, and have seen a variety of info on the Renaisance and the Marriott. Anyone have suggestions or opinions? We are two seniors.
