I would do the free stuff and see how you like it. Later on it's nice to add some variety to keep it I interesting. The windhammer mentioned above is the buffet which usually opens at 6 pm every night for dinner. A lot of people with mids seem to choose to est here. There is a free pizza place and some sandwiches and stuff elsewhere free. Coco cay I would take the trolley it's free and takes you all over the island. I tried to walk and admit I'm old but its fsr to walk all the way to the back,, maybe it was called south beach. There is also a free pool. 2 free snack shacks which have fresh and hot stuff like chicken sandwich and I love the funnel cake. Somewhere on coco cay is a free buffet. There is a short shuttle down the pier to the meet up area for trolleys. Or can walk down the pier to that area. The pay areas are just specialty areas. Hidewawy is adult only, includes some pizza. Thrill island is rides and beach pay area has lobster and steak etc. Its the most expensive. There will be a lobster night onboard in the Mdr the 2nd dress up night. It's free. In the Windjammer they had dispenses of white and chocolate milk maybe your baby can drink. Used to have cartons but havent seen lately. Juice is only free at breakfast. Take a extra glass of whatever you want later and put it in your refrigerator in your cabin for later. Also included is hot tea and coffee, flavored water, lemonade and cold not sweet iced tea. I dont care for their iced tea. But whatever, I drink the rest of the free stuff. Diapers are not for sale on the ship. You will need to bring your own. If you need a additional trash pail in the bathroom I'd talk to my steward. If you run out of diapers the other 2 ports, or coco cay probably sell them but who knows the cost. Stuff is shipped to islands and sometimes costs more than you pay at home. I've found that at drug stores at grand Cayman, I'd think st Thomas might be similar. Bring what you need. Royal has something like pack n plays they can bring in for your infant to sleep in.

I find it hard to find comfortable chairs in the shade. I also have hr a problem with skin cancer, though I do get some, I dont sit out. Doctor says avoid the sun. Lol impossible.

45 days out you sign in and get a time to arrive. That's when you put it in.

On 7 day harmony I saw servers were serving drinks to those in hot tubs in the solarium. If they are taking orders and serving drinks in the hot tubs, people will. .. though they werent eating too.

Any packages have to be booked asap when you board. Doesnt matter the length of the package. They will do a placeholder the first night. Usually most change it to whatever they want and book the other nights and try to board as soon as possible.

I bought 2 watches and did pay restaurants all but lobster night.

Such a terrible drive from san antonio to Galveston. It was horrendous. Torrential. From the time I hit I10 until Houston trying to follow headlights at much lower speeds. Seems to have had the worst of it though some arrive 1 or 2 hours late due to road closures in Houston. Mariner which I've never been on before arrived to do a special 7 day leaving tomorrow, then starts 4 and 5 day cruises. Just this one 7 day. I'd say I arrived 2 hours later than google maps suggested it would take. I'm hearing on the news houston might take weeks to recover. My hotel in Galveston was fixing their wifi which was out. Because of the storms. Hopefully clear skies ahead. Cant get worse than today. We can go straight to our cabins. No pax onboard, just crew when it arrived.

Clearly others dont understand one pax cant just get their fare back if they cancel because the TA has to change how its fared and move the 2nd fare to pax 1. If you dont call change a refare, its definition ... I did not say to current or new charges, but now both fares are applied to pax 1. To me refare implies its changed... which it is if someone cancels before the cruise sails. I think it's you confused, not me. To me REfare means redo it again which is true. Arguing semantics. Again I did not say anything other than it is refared. 2nd fare is moved to pax 1. From pax 2. Or they dont get their double pts. RE means do it again. Move the money from pax 2 to pax 1. Semantics. I didnt say extra money or whatever you seem to be reading into the word doing it again.

The one fare goes to the 2nd pax, so hes still paying double. It says refare, not refare to new current rates. The 2nd pax is using both fares now. Read it how you like. Its changed. Look at the reply to ourusualbeach someone says so 2nd fare is issued credit. No. The TA does have to change how the fare is applied.

I think he meant nothing else but what he said, remove the 2nd pax. The taxes and fees automatically refunded. What you asked is a different scenario .. asking for a refund for 2nd pax.

So gorgeous. The start of texas hill country. Their house is behind so many trees I missed it. I And she is such a great decorator. Inside is as beautiful as out. I took some pictures today of the missions and all. Hardly saw the Alamo and riverwalk due to lots of rain and construction. Such a nice visit. All the homes around here look like mansions to me. I sure enjoyed our visit. Boarding mariner monday. Some friends are just good and forever. This was the best shot of her house from the road where you can see her house, the rest trees block it. Google maps just shows trees for her house. One of the missions. Wish it was a sunny day.

We are up and no rain yea. Pictures will be clearer today. Still drinking coffee. She has a deer cam for when deer come into her yard and 5 bird feeders. It's kinda north of san antonio, barely past new braumfield where I've done white water. Great area. It's a vacation all the time. They turned their swimming pool into a koi pond. Lol

My buyers of course dont remember my schedule and said the co signer hadnt applied yet, asked for 10 days, went into title company and told them 30. I said no if you dont close by may 30 I'm done, I'll call one of those cash buyers always hounding me to sell. Here I was ready to move, called movers, had tags on stuff not to neve, and he has been busy and didnt do anything. So I'm here in san antonio at my friends house. Its gorgeous though it's been a rainy day. We ate mexican some place good and she picked out a movie with a Louisiana storm and hungry alligators. Lol. Seriously that's how it was advertised. Only 2 people got out alive. Going to riverwalk tomorrow unless it rains worse. Rainy all day here and coolish. We have one more friend from 50 years ago living amelia island florida so she can come visit us both. They did 2 cruises, this spring a river cruise in florida on American cruises. She doesnt live more than 100 people on her cruises. I took her in a suite once on royal and fancy suite hotel and she wasnt impressed, not her thing. They took american cruises to alaska too and loved it. They sold off the rest of their acerage but kept 2 acres and a enormous house. Some random pictures, dont want to post when we have time together but I did make it here. We have all been friends since I was about 23. She and i hiked to the bottom of the grand Canyon, she came to visit me in hawaii, we went out west camping in national parks. Hard to believe 50 years.

Shes my favorite too. Shes the only one gives me extra money, twice so far. I love the beer mugs.

The one thing I want is free wifi the whole cruise. The rest seems subject to change like oh too many high level this time only top 30 can eat in ck and use suite lounge. I'll never be top 30 lol maybe if I do little grandeur idk but other than the wifi, nothing else I want or expect to get. I have 18 rcl booked so i will hit pinnacle but not until after my TA unfortunately. Takes soooooo long. 13 days + 10 for TA is a lot of wifi to pay for, but the rest is nothing to me. I'm interested in trying HAL have done most of the others. My friends claim HAL has the best food so I want to try it.
