We usually eat in OV several times during a cruise and, not counting officers and other employees, I don’t think there have ever been more than 50 passengers eating up there. Even when we eat in the dining room we usually go upstairs for dessert or ice cream and there are rarely many passengers up there. We typically sail from Florida to the Caribbean at various times of the year.

We went to Cucumber Beach last year and will not go there again. The water looks nothing like the picture in the link above. However, the vendors were extremely nice and said they wished the people selling the tours were more honest about what to expect because so many people were disappointed when they got there. We stayed a couple of hours and then left.

Does anyone know when this begins? Our Princess Travel advisor said not until the fall.

Excellent! Thank you.

Thank you so much - I won’t be eating that stuff!

Is the soft serve on the Harmony of the Seas ice cream or yogurt? And, is there anyplace to get ice cream (not yogurt) on the ship? Can you get an ice cream sundae at Johnny Rockets?

We have been taking the public bus in Aruba for years. It is safe, clean and dependable.

You may have gone during a different time of year. We have never had the sea weed you are describing. Everyone has to do what is most comfortable for them.

We love the Crazy Lobster. They have nets in the water so the sea weed doesn’t enter the swimming area.

Thank you for all the information. It’s been very helpful.

Thank you afurman and Brillo!

I get a free day of internet because I’m considered Diamond on Royal(Elite on Celebrity). I will need an internet package. Currently, it is $16.99 a day. Should I wait to buy the package until I get on the ship?

LMaxwell - Thanks!

I’m so glad I asked these questions - you all have been very helpful. Thank you!

Thanks firefly - we haven’t been on Royal in several years so it’s great to have the reminders about what not to miss.

Another_Critic, Anton and DCPIV - thank you so much!

Hi everyone - we are sailing on the Harmony of the Seas and I have a few questions I hope you will help answer. 1. Do we get priority boarding? 2. regarding the free day of internet - can that span a 24 hour period over 2 days or just one day? 3. How difficult is it to reserve times for the shows like Grease?

Sunset Restaurant and Bar is next to a dive shop. We walk there every time we stop in Cozumel on a cruise ship. Usually, we spend a couple of hours there swimming and eating the most delicious fajitas we have ever had. The dive shop has lots of guided offerings - snorkeling and diving.

Chairs are available for free and you can walk along a paved path. The free chairs are in the back and there is limited shade. We’ve done it many times. We were there this past week on the Caribbean Princess and had some onboard credit to use up so we did the deal you are talking about. The guy there talked us into getting an umbrella and chairs in the first row and I have to say it was our favorite time ever going to Mahogany Bay. We would definitely book it again and sit under an umbrella rather than a clamshell.

The initial application and renewal have different requirements. Our initial interview had to be done in person (March 2022). How quickly you can schedule an interview depends on which airport you live near and how many appointments they have available.

Thank you eclue and PacnGoNow for answering my question.

For anyone who has recently been on the Caribbean Princess - do you have to show your cruise card to get pool/towels?
