It is such a weird time to be in port. We have been to the Baths. Loved that! Question: Is there a beach club/place/location that's open early that would have chairs, umbrellas, drinks, etc? Doesnt have to have lunch since we have to return to the ship so early. Thank you friends!

We were looking at Norwegian Fjords Cruises for Summer 2024. There is a 7-day cruise on Holland America that seems to fit the bill. It's called the 7-Day Norse Legends. 7-Day Norse Legends https://www.hollandamerica.com/en_US/find-a-cruise/E4N07F/Y437.htmlThe reason why I was looking at them is that they seem to focus on the Fjords. Celebrity seems to focus on the ports. Unless I am missing something from their descriptions?We like that one because it visits 2 of the top 10 fjords in Norway. This would be essential to any cruise that we choose! Is there anything comparable on Celebrity? Thanks in advance.

How much is a taxi from the cruise port to Arashi Beach?

I have done a lot of research comparing the two itineraries and the fjords visited. Based on the ranking of the fjords, I decided that when we go we will go on the Norse Legends vs the Viking Sagas. Just depends on the fjords that you want to see.

Reflexions is nice. We have been a couple of times. There are chair/umbrella rentals with beverages available. They have a Facebook page. Just search for Reflexions Beach Club.

I would like to know this as well. Is Arashi Beach better than going to Reflexions?

Got this response from them: Hi Paul ! Thank you for contacting the St. Kitts Marriott & Royal Beach Casino. We are not available on our social media channels at the moment. For room inquiries, please email us at: reservation@stkittsmarriott.com

Yes - lounge chairs, umbrellas, clean facilities/restrooms and possibly food and beverages. Any suggestions? First time in Tortola. THANKS!

You get nothing having your crown and anchor status on the luggage tags. Perhaps suites may have priority, and they are probably held in a different section, but I am positive no one looks at them to rush your luggage to you being D+.

Twice a year - May and Sept/Oct. They eat the paint off your car if you let them stay on your vehicle.

We watched a recent video from Royal Caribbean Blog, and they mentioned it was a perk for Diamond (and above).

Yeah, me neither. Thats is why I was asking. Thanks!

Where do you pick up the shuttles to Horseshoe Bay?

Thanks!

I keep reading conflicting stuff, so I figured it would ask the others who sail on RRCL: Do Diamond member still receive 24 hours of free internet? If so, how do you sign up, or is it "pre-loaded"? THANKS!

I found the requirements. Thank you everyone. Happy Cruising! REQUIRED TESTING FOR GUESTS SAILING FROM U.S. HOME PORTS For All Sailings from U.S. Home Ports with No Stops in Bermuda or Canada If your cruise visits Bermuda or Canada, test protocols for your cruise are in the next section. Guests 2 to 11 years of age who are not fully vaccinated must bring a negative test result for a COVID-19 antigen or PCR test taken within the 3 days before boarding day, regardless of the duration of their cruise. These guests will no longer be required to take a second test at the terminal. Fully vaccinated guests must bring a negative test result for a COVID-19 antigen or PCR test taken within the 3 days before boarding day on sailings that are 6 nights or longer only. Testing is not required for fully vaccinated guests on shorter itineraries. Required testing for all guests, regardless of vaccination status, must be completed using a PCR or antigen test that is supervised by a healthcare professional or a home test kit that is conducted under live video supervision. Tests must be arranged on your own and are at your own expense. BACK TO TOP REQUIRED TESTING FOR GUESTS SAILING FROM U.S. HOMEPORTS WITH STOPS IN BERMUDA OR CANADA All Guests: Required Pre-Cruise Testing Before arriving on boarding day, you'll need to take a COVID-19 test on your own, at your own expense. Vaccinated guests must show a negative test result for a PCR or antigen test taken no more than 2 days before boarding day. NOTE: Kids age 11 and younger who have been vaccinated may follow the testing protocols for vaccinated guests. Unvaccinated kids age 2 to 11 must show a negative test result for a PCR test (not antigen) taken no more than 3 days before boarding day. Unvaccinated kids' pre-cruise test cannot be taken on boarding day, because that may affect the sample taken during the kids' test at the terminal. Learn more about how to calculate which days you can take your test. Guests under 2 years of age do not need to complete a pre-cruise test. For guests on a cruise that visits Bermuda, additional travel and testing requirements may apply to your sailing. Learn more. Guests Under the Age of 2 Guests under the age of 2 have no testing requirements. Longer Sailings Sailings longer than 10 nights may have additional onboard testing requirements

Exactly!

THANK YOU. After two pages of scrolling, I found the answer. Thank you !!

Updated Protocols for Bermuda 2022 Sailings While requirements for sailing have changed for some destinations, most of Bermuda’s local regulations and requirements are still in place. This means your vaccination and pre-cruise testing requirements remain unchanged. The good news is we've removed boarding day testing, and any debark testing for sailings that end in the U.S. Due to the fluidity of this situation, our protocols are subject to change, and we are committed to keeping you informed if they do. Check out our Healthy Sail Center for our full sailing protocols VIEW HEALTHY SAIL CENTER Ok, I understand the testing requirements for entry into Bermuda, but what does this vague email actually say? I have read it three times. The "Healthy Sail Center" still indicates that passengers on cruises 6 nights or more still need to be tested....?

THANKS!

If we take the mini bus, are there chairs and umbrellas to rent? How is the beach?

Did you buy the 3 pack ahead of time, or on the ship? THANKS

We would like to try the 3 pack specialty dining. Whats the best way to book these. I dont want to do it ahead of time since its not giving me any options. Should we talk to the guy at the entryway, or go to one of the restaurants. If we cant get around the times we want, we are willing to walk away, and then I think something "magically" will open up? Thoughts? Have been on Mariner or Royal in awhile. Thanks

We are visiting Cococay for the first time since the major renovations and was wondering what is the availability of clamshells or umbrellas? Looking to chill near Oasis Lagoon. THANKS!
