I always bring my own and body wash etc. Do you only use cash on the islands?
Also needed if you are staying pre or post cruise. And not to get into any debate, to top up tips.
Cab fare from/to port, tip to the driver, etc.

Oh yes, cant be said enough - meds you take daily and those just in case, like OTC cough syrup, decongestant, Gaviscon (or whatever), eye drops, and why not Pepto-Bismal.

Lots of lip balm or even a small Vaseline tube. L
cash
A collapsible small luggage/bag for those extra shopping.
If you have pets - pics you can tape to the wall. f

Coming out of lurk mode to say Hi Andrew, Lisa, and Andrew!
As always a great review and food porn!
It is plus 8ish C in Ottawa today, and I cant sit out on the balcony 😅
Was that John by chance (couple from Seattle)?
Enjoy!!

Just a quick pop-in to say a Hello to @Lloyd555 and huge thanks for always keeping threads like this going. I've not been able to cruise for quite awhile, but enjoy your threads of what's new/happening.

TA's own your reservation and they sometimes aren't willing to give up commission for cheaper pricing.

I got an appointment for my wife's second shot, but have to drive to Casselman from Stittsville. I don't mind the hour drive to get her fully vaccinated. I have to wait until the first week on July to book my second.
That is what is going on here LouTheGlue -- I don't have a car so I would have to decline that -- people are saying if you don't accept it your actually booked one is automatically cancelled. That is just bad. And Congrats - as someone who is working through this whole mess at essential grocery (big name) store and we were not put on the priority list I really appreciate this.

Well I can say is is congrats to those that have been able to get the 2nd shot early. Mine is booked for August 16th, first was April 26th. I'm not eligible yet to try for advancing and have heard horror stories for those that have tried, bookings were no where near their location, and they lost their original booking.
A&L--I'm in Ottawa, that was (and still somewhat is) a hot spot, over 65 and can't get my 2nd as fast as you and Lisa did! I'm jealous :)
For all my fellow Canadians -- as a grocery store/self-scan worker during all this I give you my heartfelt thanks for your social distancing/mask wearing and getting the jab!

HI I'm sorry to be so negative, but coming from a province that numbers are out getting (are) out of control and a year later still reading something like sounds "all about me" comments - won't wear a mask, mad they can't travel, won't cruise again until they can without a mask.
If you don't want to wear a mask on a cruise, sounds like you don't wear one now. And sounds like you don't care about keeping anyone else safe. So Stay Home!

Yorkvillain -- thank you for the thread and everyone who has contributed to it. SofN was also my first cruise with RCL. I had one one with Carnival and was so not impressed, new travel agent convinced to try Royal.
Those steps up to the Viking Crown holding a dress down while climbing up and then with a drink on the way down -- LOL

I think with all the discussion about masks on the news over the last few weeks, we know they are effective for the person who has the virus, to keep them from spreading it. Unless you have a properly fit N95 mask, wearing anything else is a false sense of security.
I am flying on Sunday from Toronto to Miami. I will not be wearing a mask (although I DO have a properly fit N95 which will remain tucked away in my carry on).
Enjoy your trip ckrobyn!. We've got the storm coming in tonight/tomorrow all day (if we get it). Who'd think we'd be adding N95 or other to our packing lists.

This is a great decision. They deserve it. There are a lot on unnamed heroes in both situations. They people (animal rescue) that saved all the animals they could. Re-united pets with the family. Took in the injured and gave them life and hope. The first responders to these souls are truly heroes. Thank You.
