Schnitzel3 Posted January 11, 2022 #303 Share Posted January 11, 2022 We are supposed to be on the Jan 22 sailing. Is there trivia during the day and do they have the ice skating and diving shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that work for those that have excursions paid/planned in advance - both private at thru RC? They automatically moved the excursion to today if it was going to run. Appears most if not all did. Other islands they refunded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past, would have been 2+ bus loads. We stay away from that side of the beach. One lady who walked down said they are all in their 70's plus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I saw of a lot the last time we ventured to OB and that was before the hurricane devastated the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe if there is a Norovirus outbreak they also require passengers to quarantine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrneva Posted January 11, 2022 #313 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Thanks for sharing. We’ll be on the Allure end of march. I must say the ship looks kinda eerie and lonely without the crowd but also nice at the same time. I actually enjoy company. Seeing other people having fun on the ship also makes me happy. I’d say ~50% passenger capacity is the sweet spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then if they want more action simply take a walk to the appropriate venue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare colesc15 Posted January 11, 2022 Author #318 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Had a great day with Bernard's tour. Even though we were a day early, no problem changing. It was us and 4 other people on the excursion, 2 from Mein Schiff, one local guy, and us. First up was the iguana place After that, we spent time at orient Beach. Went in the water for a bit, it was refreshing but really wavy. I took a walk down the beach and hit the nude part. Don't think I saw a single person under the age of 70. -1 out of 5 on the yelp review 😂 Followed by a stop at marigot and we stopped at Sandy's for some jerk food After we headed to Maho for a bit. I would have preferred to stay at Maho longer than orient but maho was packed. Got back on the ship a bit ago and now getting some snacks at Johnny rockets 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NANAGOESAILING Posted January 11, 2022 #322 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Are you staying over night? We had friends on last week and that’s what they did. Anyone every visit Juggie’s, Smallet Bar in the World. In the alley by the Catholic Church. He offers 2 beers and a cigar for $1.99. And lots of BS. Fun place to drop husbands off while you go shopping ladies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
