Fantastic detail!! Thanks!!

Curious about current status .. sailing RCL. Any recent reported?

Usually around the in room mirror/desk … but we haven’t been on newer ships … so maybe not anymore??

Royal has always had a speaker that you can adjust the volume on … we always turn it off !! (At least the ones we’ve been in)

He was very responsive by email … I reserved about 6 weeks in advance. We paid at the completion of the trip.

He tailored it to what we wanted (skipped rain forest to see the devils bridge and get more time on beach)… at the time we went it was $50/pp (would have been less if we didn’t want the beach time)…. He was pretty responsive to email … here was the listing of the tour that we used as a starting place to decide what was important to us … http://www.lawrenceofantigua.com/islandtour.php

We just returned from our cruise and had the pleasure of taking an island tour with Lawrence of Antigua. We received a lovely island tour with Lawrence providing information about the island and its people. We requested a snorkel beach to end the tour ... he took us to Long Bay Beach and waited there for us ... the best snorkeling!! A great reef with food truck and shops on the beach. He has a nice van with room for 12, good air conditioning and he provides drinks during the ride. You wont be sorry lawrenceofantigua@gmail.com

just getting back into cruising after retiring ... we did have a helpful CN agent on our previous cruise that was happy to book the cruise that I had already decided on ... i'm curious though ... what are the certificates many of you are mentioning? (working towards status ... but not there yet)

That’s what we’re looking at for our November TA… did you have a balcony? I’m thinking about the upgrade … but also want to sleep! We’ll be there 4 nights.

Yes TMobile works ... better signal in town than in rural areas .. some beach areas work ... not all ..

We also hit muster station as we board… so much improved process!!! We grab a quick bite at the buffet. Then we also tour the ship looking for hangout spots … preferred venues… how to get from spot to spot … depending on the ship we’re either settled in the solarium or hanging out up too for sail away.

different issue ... but we also had a cruise cancelled. i also noticed when i was looking at beverages/etc. My TA is an angel ... has apparently gotten it worked out ... but still nobody can explain how it happened .... apparently another travel agent, that I have never contacted, changed my booking on the same day that I made final payment ... that triggered a higher price, and since I didnt know about it, didnt get any notice ... I didnt pay the additional fee and RC cancelled the cruise ... and kept $900. Said they refunded the difference ... but it didnt show up in our account for over a week ... still waiting to get the $900 reapplied to the cruise ... RC said they would grant our booking price ... trusting it will happen ... but leaving a very bad taste for the line that doesnt communicate! How does another travel agent get our booking number and change our requested cabin ... and then when the change is made we get NO NOTICE!!

That’s usually going to be a charge on the mainstream lines … probably the price of a soda not an adult beverage …

We got extra onboard credit ($100 for a 10 day cruise )

That looks amazing! Thanks

I don’t know … it didn’t say it included anything else … it kind made me gulp!! $13 I Can see!

thanks … got in touch with him last night … super responsive and I think he will be our choice!

Sounds perfect!

I know nothing of their classes … but owned and taught a sip and paint business and had 1500 students over the years, most of which said the same thing on their first visit … but with a good teacher you do not to be creative on your own … just able to follow instruction.

We just got a “discount offer” for $350ish … for a 2 minute glide … too much to even think about it for us!!

Looks like a really great option … is there any reef/coral/sea life that would make it good snorkeling? What are the facilities available for changing? Rinsing off?

If you booked wga it will be a credit … but their credits never expire … easy to do online with your confirmation code

Congrats Ryan! Impressive

We're returning to cruising after many years busy with other pursuits ... Joining Mariner on Thursday ... we dont have any status (yet) ... but are there any tips/tricks/secrets that we can enjoy on our quick journey?? Thanks so much for your "reporting" ... helping me get excited!

I just started a roll call for this trip … short and sweet
