Thanks for your feedback. I think the laundry package is for us. Clean and dry clothes/suits everyday!

I'm trying to decide between the laundry package ($193 for 3) and paying by the piece. Can anyone remember what per piece prices are?  If it is $10/swimsuit (all 2 piece, board shorts and tops, may count as 2 pieces?), 3 a day, that will get close to the laundry package (or more because we also have rash guards!).

Will do. Thanks for the heads up!

Thank you so much for the report! Sounds good, nothing that will bother me and my girls would sleep through jack hammers! Just made final payment so now I'm getting ready to select excursions. Less than 3 months away...can't wait!

We are definitely going to do this! Thank your better half for creating this and for sharing!

Babametcha, I'm in Cabin 727 directly across from your cabin, for 11 days starting Sat 9/8. I'll give you a noise report as soon as I return.

That would be great! Have a great cruise!

Thank you, TBK and DGK for your thoughts. Sounds like noise from above will not be an issue!

Hello all! I've booked stateroom 728 for the 7-day 12/22 cruise. I was just looking at the deck plans and realized this is right below the pool. Has anyone booked a room on deck 7 midship? If so, was there noise from deck chairs being moved at any time? While it would not be a problem for my daughters, I do love my peace and quiet!:) TIA

I will be taking my daughters (14 and 17) on a the 7 day 12/22 Society Islands cruise. It has long been my dream vacation and luckily my 17 year old picked "beaches and islands" as the destination for her senior trip. Once school starts next week I can start my serious planning!

My TA has recommended the Stewards of Nature program for my daughters. My question to you very helpful and informative folks is this: do you think the Stewards of Nature program would be "acceptable" to an almost 18 year old? I know my younger one will love meeting other kids (and I assume there will be more than usual given the time of year) but not sure my older teen will enjoy it if it is too geared toward a younger crowd. My thinking is that it is relatively inexpensive ($349) compared to the cost of the whole trip so I should keep her enrolled and she can pick and choose and I'm not going to sweat it if she doesn't want to participate in much of it. I see her as young for her age (e.g., will regularly play with her sister, not dating (although last year, my retirement gift to myself was a Regent Med cruise and she came back with more pictures of the attractive crew members than of the scenery!).

I think I've talked myself into keeping them both enrolled (!) but if anyone has had their kids in the program I'd love to hear about it. Thanks so much!
