I don't have pockets (dresses, skirts), so I also don't carry my phone around with me, I use a walking stick and so I only have one hand free. I need to use a lanyard, it makes life so much easier on board. I have a bag when I leave the ship so no lanyard needed. Remember some people have no choice if they don't want to have a bag with them all of the time.

I like using a lanyard, I don't have pockets in my dresses or skirts. I would never put a sea pass or my mobile in my jeans pocket. (when on board, my phone is in the safe).

Thank you for mentioning this, it will help me with our planning.

UK travel insurance is not poor, fact! The UK foreign office / government has deemed Haiti and Haitian waters to be a no go travel area and so insurance companies will not cover cover it. There is a difference to being on a watch list for unrest and having no proper sitting government and uncontrolled violence and gangs and convicts running amok.

Regardless of what peoples opinions are about the current situation in Haiti, UK passengers are not covered by their travel insurance to be in Haiti or Haitian waters. Some people will have their whole policy invalidated if they travel on Royal to Labadee. Surely Royal should think about this as well?

Hopefully there won't be any problems at all in Labadee. I mentioned the insurance because if you had an accident or became ill either on the ship (in Hatian waters) or on Labadee you may not have cover.

I take it from the comments, that the American travel insurance companies are still covering trips to Haiti/Labadee and Haitian waters? UK travel insurance isn't.

We use Viator to book most of our day/half day trips. We've been on 12 cruises (so far 😉) and have had no problems booking tours. They have all been very accommodating when we've had changes of itinerary/docking time, a simple email has been enough to amend the booking.

The UK government has deemed Haiti and Haitian waters to be unsafe and advise against travel there. Many travel insurance companies will not either cover you while in Haiti/ Haitian waters or not cover the trip at all as it includes Labadee/ Haiti. I'm not sure if its the same for USA residence, but it may be worth checking your insurance policy.

We've just come back from a trip on the Wonder of the Seas, I loved the Austrian Streusel bread which was fabulous for breakfast, and the cheese bread rolls for supper.

Hi, we need to book a private transfer from to port to the airport as we have quite an early flight. Could any of you lovely people give me the name of any private transfer companies you have used in the past please. Thanks Sandi

We are docking at 3.30am, I checked what time with Celebrity we could leave the ship. I was told by 6.30am. Has anyone had experience of early docking and how early we can really leave the ship? many thanks for any assistance/advice. Sandi

Hi, can anyone tell us if WOS bathrooms have a nightlight please? Thanks

Thank you for your replies. I guess we won't be spending any time in the Casino then.

Have Royal finally seen sense and made Casino Royal non smoking? My app says Casino Royal is a non smoking venue.🎉 It'll be the first time that we will be able to go to the casino, as the smoke from the smokers side still made the non smoking side smell bad and make your clothes and hair stink.
