    Quick, when was the last time gangs stormed those walls and invaded the resort? People forget unrest in Cozumel a few years ago when the ferries were being firebombed. But no one is concerned about safety there.

    "Private island" flows off the tongue much better than "private peninsula" though.

    Then Caribbean cruises aren't for you if the sight of armed guards is concerning.

    It's not supposed to (in fact can have the opposite effect) but for some it can make you drowsy

    It's rare to get seasick (to the point it impacts your activities) on a cruise ship during normal weather. If your guest has that concern, have their doc prescribe the patch for at a minimum peace of mind.

    There are several other popular Caribbean port stops that have gates and armed guards, too.

    No.

    FODMAP is tough to follow but easy to prepare for at the same time. Just talk to the head waiter when you board. Spending extra for a dining package would be a waste since for many meals they're going to have to come up with something from scratch (since many meals are pre-prepared) anyway.

    Just note that the kids menu is kid-friendly food, but it's still adult sized portions.

    You like the WJ. Many like the MDR. Many like specialty restaurants. There's a reason there are multiple dining options.

    They can if they get the same check-in time as you

    The only requirement is to present a negative test. When that test was taken and whose sample was used for the test is entirely optional.

    Or, it is safe because of the protocols in place to keep it safe. It's not at all uncommon to see heavily armed security at other ports that no one has any safety concerns for

    So next time avoid the vendor area. Problem solved

    If they spend $1500 on a cabana they can

    Plenty of targets in the cities for the game.

    To do what? Rob people of their seapass card and snorkeling gear?

    If you had no idea what Labadee looked like but were familiar with the struggles of Haiti, and someone kidnapped you, blindfolded you and dropped you there in Labadee...you would have no reason to think you're in Haiti.
  19. smokeybandit
    Labadee may be geographically in Haiti, but it's definitely not politically/socioeconomically in Haiti.

    Absolutely zero reason to pay prior to the due date (or the TA's due date which is commonly a few days prior to the cruise line's due date).

    Not that this helps you now since Southwest changed their policy, but you could have used that $600 to book a dummy flight, then canceled the flight and gotten a fresh expiration date on your credits.

    Stuff is not only expensive because it's new, but because they know people will pay that premium for the new car scent. We'll see if prices drop at time goes on

    Actually water isn't wet. It's the items that come in contact with water that get wet.

    Suite parties and back stage tours have not returned since covid

    It's kind of funny how subject lines for so many posts could just as easily be google search queries.
