We have sailed Anthem a bunch but never aft facing, so this one on Quantum should be interesting. I am hoping we get similar perks that we have had sky class on Anthem in the past. We are looking towards Celebrity for something in the future though to see their perks. Our plan with this suite was to hide out as we were coming out of covid in May 2021, see how well that plan went. 😨 We haven’t book any loft suites because of my knees which hate stairs. The basic celebrity suite seems to be a better deal than rccl since it normally includes , tips, premium drink package and on board credit, also suite restaurant Luminae is way better than CK. The new edge class has private pool hot tub, outdoor restaurant for all suite class. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are now permitted to book private excursions. As Dani mentioned Thenford Grey does a great job. http://www.thenfordgreytours.com/ Our first time there we did the Grand Tour, another time we did the Capital City Tour with beach visit. We have also enjoyed the royal caribbean railway excursion - bit pricey but was a lot of fun pre-covid. We were on a b2b and going to be in St Kitts the following week so I asked the bus driver what beach and they highly recommended Carambola Beach so we went there the next week and have gone back several times. Hope to be there a couple times in January .🤩 Do you remember if any of those tours are open air? When we were at st Thomas we road in an opened air bus to Magens Bay and it wasn’t that bad. At st Martin we didn’t do a tour because we didn’t want to drive around for hours in a closed vehicle with mask on. I know if the cruise friends pick, we will head to the beach. We like beaches to but also think it would be nice to see St Kitts. The place looks beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine3601 Posted December 20, 2021 #41381 Share Posted December 20, 2021 maybe email the tour group and ask if they are now using open air safari trucks. there is a contact now link on their website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted December 21, 2021 #41382 Share Posted December 21, 2021 1 hour ago, bobmacliberty said: Were you guys, Pfizer or Moderna? I think I remember there being more reactions to Moderna (which we got) than Pfizer for the original shots. I wonder if that's true for the boosters. We had a Moderna booster to go with our Pfizer shots. Other than a sore arm, we still had no side effects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJSailors Posted December 21, 2021 #41384 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Again trying to catch up with all the postings here.... Thank you, Mimi for posting your thoughtful words about this thread. Very good news that your heart rate is in control with the pacemaker. After all,you have a very good heart and a kind spirit. Wishing you continued health progress. Thank you,Dani for starting this thread so many months ago. And to think,it all started with cleaning a refrigerator ! Thank you, John for posting Bella’s photo taken by the Christmas tree. I think she would put a smile even on both Scrooge’s and the Grinch's faces. She definitely is a model the way she relates to the camera . Thank you,Andrew for posting that Chevy commercial. I saw part of it last night and was touched by it. Seeing the full story unfold is certainly worthy of a few Kleenex and an appreciation of the kindness shown throughout the commercial. Now, if I should find a restored ‘66 Mustang in the garage someday, I would be ecstatic and grateful ! Some good memories for me. Thank you all for keeping the conversations posted here pleasant, informative and supportive. It is like visiting with neighbors on a front porch in the warm weather. All we need is lemonade and some yummy cookies. But wait, we do have the recipes for Limoncello and some delicious,homemade cookies! Wishing everyone a good night!

My daughter and SIL on the other hand had Pfizer for the first 2 and were both down and out for about 36 hrs on the 1st, felt yucky for the 2nd but not out of it like the 1st. For their boosters they went with Moderna, no issues other than a tender arm for a day. I have heard the arm soreness can depend on how the shot is given and how relaxed your arm is, otherwise who knows. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neighbors across the street had a small fire back part of their house. Everyone is fine. That’s sad. Glad they made it out safely. Hope they will be able to live there again soon. We had that happen across the canal about 24 years ago. Woke up in the middle of the night to lots of noise. Watched it burn to the ground. It was scary and horrible and I cried all night. IIRC no one was hurt. The cement foundation sat there for probably about 8 years. Now there is a beautiful house there. 9 hours ago, mafig said: Sad day for me. Cancelled our January cruise. First cruise I've cancelled in over 20 years. 😒 Sorry you had to cancel your cruise. I think not worrying is better for the mind so was probably a good choice. May your next one have fewer requirements. 12 hours ago, Ocean Boy said: What are YOU apologizing for? You posted nothing wrong.

It would of been great to meet you and others sailing this cruise. I also wanted to go to San Juan. I like that stop. I noticed we both stop at St Kitts. To bad it’s two days apart. We have never visited St Kitts. We are trying to figure out what to do there. Do you know if St Kitts is restricting excursions? St. Kitts stopped the restrictions a couple of weeks ago. It is no longer on RCI's list of places requiring ship or government approved excursions. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
