I was at Nellie's Beach last August and it most certainly did have this problem, which now makes me doubt what everyone else said about the other beaches. Let me be clear. I'm talking about seaweed that grows UNDERWATER. It's also NOT when you first go in. It's when you wade out further when the water is up to your shoulders. EDIT: Go to 4:19 in this video. You can see what I'm talking about: The sea floor is covered with these plants. Stepping on them is NOT pleasant.

You don't see it. You FEEL it when you wade out into the water.

I found a map of the island. It looks like the tram stops at Barefoot Beach (15), Nellie's Beach (44), Town Square (25), and Columbus Cove (43). I'm glad it's open to all cruisers, not just suite guests. I've heard good things about Columbus Cove, but it's the LAST stop on the island. I hope it's worth it.

1. What options are there for transportation on Labadee? The port is a long walk and an even longer one to the beaches. I know there is a shuttle for suite guests. Any other options? 2. Are there any beaches that don't have that horrible seaweed growing on the sea floor? It was fun watching people's faces when they stepped on it, but I've moved on. And no, I don't want to wear water shoes.

Did you find out?

Nobody has ever done this? Can someone on board go to check?

Are there any other secure places to store things besides the room safe? The website says there are safe deposit boxes available. It's first come/first serve, and you must go to Guest Services to get a key. Has anyone ever done this? Do you need to wait in line for Guest Services each time you want to access your box? Can this be requested in advance? Has anyone used the lockers in the fitness room? Are there any restrictions on when or how long you can use a locker?

Here's the lowest sugar option: Bring packets of crystal light. Get 1/2 vodka and 1/2 water and add the Crystal Light flavoring packet. Bartenders will mix this for you if you give them the packet. Some sweet, but not too sweet options would be drinks like a Bloody Mary. However, bartenders may not know how to make other ones. Here are two I like: Spice cake: 1 part Fireball 1 part Ammeretto 1 part Baileys Irish Cream Nutty Russian: 1 part Frangelico 1 part Kaluha 1-2 parts vodka Unfortunately, the ship I was on was out of Frangelico.

Bring your own packets of brown mustard. RCL only has Heinz yellow 🤢

To anyone who went to "The Quest" recently, what was the last challenge?

It's not a tax situation. The website showed one price and rang up another. I see the price today is $58.99, which is what it charged me yesterday. Meanwhile, other sales seemed to have ended and other prices dropped today.

I've seen the same excursion show up as two different prices. After booking the below excursion, the price in the cart was $58.99 per person. Check the math if you're booking!

If the Quest is back, is the last challenge the same as always or has that changed? That was my theory why it didn't come back.

THEY DON'T WORK. Trust me. They don't. If you're going to pay for Internet for your phone, turn on Wi-Fi calling and you can call and text each other. If for some reason SMS isn't working for you, use an app like Discord. If you don't want to get the Internet plan, pay for the messaging service through the Royal app.

No. They're not too big. I would argue that some of the venues are not big enough. Music hall is too small. The Music hall is bigger on the smaller Anthem class ships. This is unfortunate since a lot of activities take place there.

Go to amazon and search for "Cable Matters 2-Pack 4 Outlet Power Splitter Cord (Power Cord Splitter/Outlet Saver) 1.5 Feet" I used these on NCL and RC cruises for years.

Please review the band Phoenix on this part of the cruise. Tell us what music they play. FYI, here's their website: https://phoenixclassicrockband.com

Thank goodness. Streaming on my last cruise was terrible with VOOM.

BTW, it was this band: https://www.privatestockband.com/ Very talented, but way too much lite rock.

We had a cover band that played lots of different artist's songs, but it was the SAME set for the first 7 sets. The final 8th show had additional horns, but they ended up playing jazz instead of rock along with a lot of the SAME music.

Question about the Aerosmith cover band in the Music Hall: Do they play the same set every time or do they switch it up?

A dirty martini is usually made strong. One of my favorites is a "Spice Cake" 1 shot of Irish Cream (Baliey's) 1 shot of Amaretto 1 shot of Fireball

Sorry if this is obvious, but what about ice cream at Sugar Beach?

I'm perusing one of the later Cruise Compasses for my ship and I see under "Things To Do" an entry called "Collect Your Free Royal Rope Tracker, Port Shopping Desk." What the heck is it and what does it do?

They should address the sushi bar on the website. Is it a $35 food credit or not eligible? Other people have indicated that it is eligible based on past experience, but that text isn't clear.
