Can you substitute a free Bloody Mary instead of the free Mimosa in the Sabitini's breakfast, or if I choose to order a Bloody Mary, will they charge for that (assuming I haven't purchased the beverage package)?

Also, if I just wanted pancakes and bacon, is it possible to order that at the Sabitini's breakfast?

All great suggestions. Thank you.

We will be on the Coral a week from today for a Panama Canal Cruise. I see that rain is in the forecast for some of the ports we will stop at. We are from Seattle, and our idea of dressing for rain is probably very different than how you dress for rain in the Caribbean, South America or Mexico.

We would appreciate recommendations on what to wear specifically for rain during shore excursions in these ports. Do you pack a small umbrella only? Inexpensive poncho? Lightweight raincoat? Your suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you.

My wife and I are planning to bring two bottles of wine each on board the Coral later this month. It is my understanding than one bottle per person may be carried on without a charge.

For the second bottle that we'll each carry on board, what is the current charge per bottle for carrying it on board?

When leaving from Embassy Suites on April 17 for the Coral, will I need to tell the taxi or Uber driver which pier to go to? If so, how do I find out which pier the Coral will be docked at?

When you are on board the ship, where can you see the "ship time" posted? Is there a clock near the gang plank when you disembark at ports?

We are going on shore excursions in Cartagena, Columbia and San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua in late April. I'm torn between wearing long pants (to reduce the chances of being bitten by mosquitos) or shorts (because of the heat). If you've been to these destinations, your recommendation?

We'll be on the Coral for a Panama Canal cruise next month, and are new to cruising. We do not plan to access the Internet while on board the ship due to the cost. Is there a way I can access major league baseball game scores and league standings each day if we do not have the Internet?

What is Swirls? Located on the Coral?

Is real ice cream also available in the buffet, or only the MDR?

Is all the ice cream on the Coral soft-serve ice cream? Or can you get hard ice cream? If harder ice cream is available, where do you find it?

I'm a sucker for warm, just-out-of-the-oven cookies. Can they be found on the Coral? If so, where and what times?

I'm seeking clarification on one thing..

We have reserved shore excursions and massages for our upcoming cruise departing in April. Can we use our OBC to pay for these services, even though we made the reservations prior to the cruise? (I thought I saw someone mention that you cannot use OBC to pay for services reserved prior to the cruise...hope I'm wrong about that.)

Thanks for the suggestion about Deck 15.

And Debi, maybe we'll meet you on board. We are Rick & Kris.

Thanks for the various suggestions. I think we want to be out among the people, music, and festivities when the ship sets sail from Ft. Lauderdale.

Thank you for all the information on Coral burgers. Sounds like in the MDR, the burgers vary from night to night...what, for instance, are some of the featured burgers?

Appreciate the responses. Thanks.

Thanks for the information.

Those are great suggestions. Thanks. Sounds like there is no need to purchase/use silica gel packets.

Yes, we're on a balcony. Thanks for the information.

We will be doing a Panama Canal cruise beginning mid-April from Ft. Lauderdale to Los Angeles. We have never been in high-humidity climates before, and are wondering what precautions or measure, if any, do we need to take with our iPhones. We are planning to take our phones with us on our shore excursions (Aruba, Cartagena, Puntarenas, San Juan del Sur, Huatulco, and Puerto Vallarta...as well as out on deck during our transit of the canal).

Will our phones be adversely affected by the humidity? Will the lenses fog up? Is there anything we can or should do to counteract the humidity? Would there be any benefit to bringing those silica gel packets for storing the iPhones in our stateroom when not in use...or is that unnecessary?

Same questions apply to our binoculars, which we will be using out on our balcony.

Any thoughts or tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes. :D That's very helpful, thanks.
