Can someone give feedback about the snorkel with the turtles in the lagoon? I read some reports it's lots of algae? Does it almost seem dirty? I'm sure it's fine for the animals, but not sure if it will gross out my kids. Can someone describe what it's like? Would it be appropriate for kids ages 10, 14, and 8?

We often cruise Royal Caribbean in the Bahamas, etc. and have been very happy with them. I see Ovation cruises Alaska and looks very family friendly (we have 2 kids 14 and 10). Would this be a good choice for a family cruise to Alaska? I don't see Royal mentioned as much as some others in Alaska.

Thanks so much! Approximately how long is the taxi ride to Little Divi Beach resort from the pier?

Is it a swimmable beach for kids?

How far is Emerald Beach by taxi, and how much does the ride cost? I see that it is a resort...do you need a day pass?

Oh wow I didn't realize there was more than one place to dock in St. Thomas!

Sailing to St. Maarten next week on Symphony. 2 families with kids ranging in age from 18-8. What is the easiest decent beach to walk/take a taxi too? Just want to play in the water/sand for awhile, without traveling a huge distance from pier.

Sailing to St. Thomas on Symphony next week. 2 families with kids ranging in age from 8-18. How far away are Coki and Magen's Bay by taxi from the pier? Its been awhile since I've been there. If we decide to stick close to pier is there still that cable car ride right near the shopping area by the pier? Thought the kids might enjoy that. Any other easy ideas with a bunch of kids.Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the reply! I was actually looking for fat free (on weight watchers lol!) but maybe i'll try asking!

Weird question...I know all of the ships usually have plain yogurt. Is there any chance of finding fat free plain greek yogurt on symphony?

Thank you so much for all of the replies! I was really just concerned that it would be impossible to get a taxi/uber because of all of the people getting off. But the shuttle from RCL also seems like a good option. How do you book it before you get on the boat? I don't see an online option.

Is it difficult to get a taxi/uber,etc. when disembarking Symphony in Miami to get to airport? Should we line up private transportation? Does RCL offer a transfer service you can pay for?

Hi, On my assigned online check in day, what time does check in open? Is it necessary to check in right at the moment it opens. Also, how long before my cruise can I book shows on the app (Symphony of the Seas)? From what I've been seeing on the app it seems about 4 weeks, but I wasn't sure. Also, does that need to be done the moment it becomes available?

Yes, was just wondering if any of my fellow cruisers have stayed

Hi. Thinking of staying here for 2 nights before a cruise from Miami. Just wanted to see if anyone has feedback on the hotel. Also I know Coral Gables is supposed to be a very safe area, is this still true?
