  1. I had the best snorkel experience ever at Coco-

    Last year we were the first off the ship and as we got to the beach the lifeguard said there were manatees close to the beach-we ran to the water and there they were-we swam with them for an hour-just watching and they didn't mind. It was the beach near the snorkel hut. We were very blessed that day!

  2. We have been here several times and the last visit on Tuesday was different. 

    First off we noticed extensive damage to the dolphin area from a storm earlier in the week.

    there was some shows but I am sure there were cancellations.

    The snorkel area had a ton of seaweed probably from same storm.

    We were disappointed when we were told that we were not able to use the pool with our $23 general admission.

    The pool is only included with dolphin and other packages.

    In December we were able to use the pool so this must be a recent change

  3. You should carry your own bags aboard and not worry about tipping.

     

    I should carry my own bags because I do not feel I should HAVE TO tip a guy making 6 figures for doing the job he is getting paid for-If I dont tip I might see my bags floating down the canal.

    And this seems right to you?

    The whole "tipping" culture is a very mysterious concept anyway- Do I tip the mailman-trash men-how much do I tip in the jar where I get my $2 coffee? How about the bagger at the super market? The cashier at Walmart? Do I tip cash or put it on my credit Card? Should I use the recommended rate on the reciept? 18 or 20%?

    maybe I should move to a non tipping country like Australia-JUST KIDDING

    We tip $2 a bag

  4. To all those who state "I dont sail for perks".

    Maybe not but I find it hard not to cruise with Royal with the Diamond plus perks.

    Free specialty coffee 24 hours-Love my cappuccinos!

    Open bar 3 hours a night and 3 drinks any place on the ship.

    $250 Balcony discount

    free internet

    free laundry

    priority embarkation-FTTF is rip-off IMO

    Free gift-I get a cheap beach towell and waters

    Going on Carnival soon with family and I will have a great time.

  5. I went with my 11 year old grands0n

    He was fine. I was a little nervous because there is a risk involved as mentioned.

    This tour would never be acceptable in the US because of liability issues.

    It was a great time-just use common sense. Safety is not as big of an issue in most Caribbean/Central American countries like it is here.

  6. I was on the Allure last week. Many crew members were allowed to have family members stay on board. Our waiter

    had his wife and 2 kids there and they stayed in a suite. He was excited. I think they had to pay too-which I thought was Royal being a tightwad-maybe they could have gave it to workers on merit or lottery.

    I also remember crew were able to get free hair cuts at the spa-not anymore according to my waiter. They go to Ft Lauderdale or other stops or they cut each others. Waiter was not happy taking drink orders either-I dont blame him.

    His name is Alberto from Domonican Republic and John his assistant from Bali-great team-if you get them you are in for a treat.

    Had a awesome cruise!

  7. That video from Valley News sounds like a bunch of fans that are very upset and looking to blame the fans of Philly for the loss

    Yes out of 10s of thousands of fans there are 1% jerks-Philly fans are very passionate and used to disappointment like Viking fans-but this year seems different-This game is also the changing of the dynasty-Eagles win and are are in the super bowl for many years to come.

    Viking fans-we know your pain! We both have good-young QBS and will be seeing each other in the play-offs for many years to come
