HazzaGrazza Posted November 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Hi, My partner and I are booked on to the Anthem of the Seas in January for an 11 night Caribbean cruise. Turns out it's my time of the month smack bang when we reach our ports. We have excursions booked in most ports and some are water based, some all day, some half day etc. They are all booked through Royal Caribbean. What should I expect in terms of toilet facilities while on the excursion? Will there be adequate breaks and facilities to use? It's worrying me a bit that I will be caught without facilities to use. 😟 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcruiselover Posted November 28, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Unfortunately the availability of toilet facilities varies greatly and it’s not something that you can absolutely count on. Some tour operators plan periodic stops, which is considerate, but others don’t seem to take into account that sometimes people just need to “go.” I hope your tours turn out to have the facilities you need. I would suggest mentioning to the tour guide that periodic stops would be appreciated. Edited November 28, 2019 by nwcruiselover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rimmit Posted November 28, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 28, 2019 As said above it is highly variable, but I have found they try to have a stop at minimum every two hours. In the event of an extreme emergency a tour operator can make an impromptu stop. Some buses have bathrooms as well. I have found the more sedate and accessible the tour (I.e. city tours primarily on buses) the more likely they are to be very cognizant of bathroom breaks. Likely as many of the senior population tends to be on diuretics and need to stop more regularly. I am also highly attune to the “potty” situation as I have an 8 and 4 year old and they can’t wait. When they need to go, they need to go NOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need to specify if these are excursions with independent operators or solely through RCL. If they're through independent operators you'll get a larger audience that may have the answers to your questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
