Will be cruising next month in this room and was hoping anyone could give me the pros/ cons to the storeroom.

Totally agree. Thanks for putting another perspective on it and enjoy your cruise tomorrow.

I agree 100 percent. Enjoy Indy tomorrow.

Leaving next week on my cruise and the M&M Gift Exchange is to be an item between the $10-12 range ... something that the giver would like to receive ... no gag gifts and no white elephants. That leave me wide open to come up with something special and unique.

 

I'd be interested in hearing what other people gave or received at similar events that they really liked.

I live in Ohio in a small town where Smucker's is made. I gave some items like a magnet, a very small jar of jelly and a keyring. We also went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and purchased a magnet and keychain.

On line at 8:30, off the ship and in car by 8:45...thanks Suite Conceirge Raj :P

I see we are leaving from dock 25 in FLL is that good or bad? We are coming back on the 28th with Freedom. Would we be assigned that same dock? "Looking for tips to get off easily.

Now that I am finally caught up with this review, it is day 3 of our short 5 day cruise. 5 days is way to short, I feel like the cruise is almost over.

 

This morning we had breakfast in the dining room, I had pancakes and bacon. Very good. I have had no issues with the food this whole trip so far.

 

I have never been to Belize and I have never been to a tender port. I told my husband I wanted to do a Royal excursion because I didn't want to get left behind. We chose to do the Barrier Reef snorkel and Starfish Island. We had to be in Studio B around 8:45 am. They made some announcements, we waited around and then finally time to go to deck 1. Once on deck 1 more waiting around, waiting around and then onto the boat for our excursion.

 

I do not get into the ocean, my husband does. I will say that no excursion will be perfect for everyone. People were complaining that they didn't get to snorkel as long as they liked, one person complained the water was too cold. Hey, I'm on a boat in the middle of the world life could be worse. My husband thought the snorkel time was just right. After everyone was on the boat it was time to head to starfish island. This is a really cute island, the weather was perfect, they had drinks and food. the bathrooms were modern and clean. Lots of chairs and a covered area to eat. They also had a nice play area for younger kids.

 

We walked around the island and saw a starfish in the ocean, pretty cool.

 

Once we got back on the boat we headed for the ship. Some people were going to go get on another tender and go into Belize but we were tired and hungry so Windjammer it was.

 

Currently still in our holding position in Belize. Everyone should be back on board by 4:30 pm. My DH is taking a nap as I type this and I am about to get cleaned up for dinner. Our plans tonight are to see the Headliner show staring Greg London. I will check in later and let you know how that is. Any questions, just ask and I will do my best to answer.

Do you think there would be enough time to take a tender over to Belize City and still get back on the ship after this excursion?

Enjoying the review, we are on Indy in May

Great review. We are on this same cruise the end of April. We also booked that same excursion in Belize. If there is any tips for this excursion please let me know.

Have they offered the drink punch card on this cruise?

I'm leaving tomorrow on Indy 5 night, I will let you know if I see it offered

Thank You I really appreciate that.

That's not bad. On Vision, they offered it with only 3 days left.

We are going on Independence of the Seas next month for a 5 night cruise. Does anyone know if they offer them on the shorter cruises. I was looking at the drink pkg. but was hoping they may offer the drink card some time during our cruise since we do not usually drink that much.

That's interesting.

 

We were on Vision last week and both my wife and I got bit by something on our stop in Belize. Nothing on the other stops of Cozumel and Roatan.

When you were in Belize were on an island excursion? We are going there next month and doing a snorkeling excursion and was wondering if we should take some kind of bug spray. We are not planning on going into Belize.

My roll call is painfully slow for some reason.

 

Taking a water taxi to Caye Caulker looks fun. Any idea how to rent a golf cart there and how much they taxi and golf carts are?

When are going ? We are on her April 23rd.

63 days and will be on Independence of the Seas.

What is the main show on Indy right now? We cruise on her the end of April. When I booked this cruise through Royal they said it was Grease but I see on another post that it is not coming until July.

Can anyone confirm if the Wine and Dine package is still available.

We will be on Oasis next October in a JS does this category also get this same disembarkation benefit?

Sent from my KFTHWI using Forums mobile app

We are also in this same cruise and was wondering the same question. Thanks everyone for your answers. I did not realize you could purchase a day. I thought you always had to purchase the full week.

78 day on Jewel of the Seas !!!

We will be there the end of October. Only ship in port that day. We are on Freedom and was wondering what pier we are at and how much a taxi ride to Sapphire Beach will cost?

Sent from my KFTHWI using Forums mobile app

Verizon smart rewards and aarp (reward for good) , has $100 gift cert. for $90.(10% off). Purchased this morning. They go pretty fast and are not online all the time.

I just went on line to buy some also but they say you can not use them to pay off an existing cruise. I was hoping to use it to do that or OBC.

Looks like this is south of the port. Would this be a good place to go snorkeling? Is it far from the port? If we take a taxi, where should we ask to be let off? Is there a fee to go here?

What are your thoughts on Mambo Beach? This will be our first time to this beautiful island and would like to find a beach with amenities to relax and enjoy the day.

Is this offer still being offered?

Sent from my KFTHWI using Forums mobile app

We have a transfer from the airport to the ship (Jewel of the Seas) when we are at the airport, where do we meet for the tranfer/transport? Are they in a specific location with signs?

Do you remember the cost of the transfers? Also do they automatically take care of your luggage when you get to the pier or is it our responsibility?

Last I heard it was $25 per person for a lesson and I think you get an hour on the board. I'm going there for dinner tomorrow so I'll double check for you.

Thank you that would be great.

Sent from my KFTHWI using Forums mobile app

Haha thank you very much! My friends and I often joke about the unprepared tourists that come through so I thought I would help.

 

Frederiksted is my home and I hope you get to spend some time here, west is best after all! I have posted quite a bit about my favorite beaches and restaurants but here's the condensed version for you: when you get to town follow king street north past the pier and out past the carnival grounds. You'll see the baseball fields on your right and Freedom City Surf on your left. GO TO FREEDOM CITY. Say hi to Pi (the owner) in the shop on your left and maybe get a t-shirt, then go to the bar. Get a rum punch from Erica and some shrimp tacos. Relax on the patio or the beach until it's time to leave. An easy 10 minute walk up the beach will put you back on the ship.

 

Enjoy! [emoji2]

I was wondering if you might know how much they charge for lessons on the paddle boarding? You have been so hopefully with the information you have provided on the island.
