I was hoping you could get the combo you got. I will make note. Thanks. yes, you could absolutely mix and match anything on the premier combo side. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to know. I am a diehard Pepsi fan but will say I really liked the Caribbean version! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mexican Coke & Caribbean Coke are both made with cane sugar. The US Coke is made with high fructose corn syrup. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyster Posted August 25, 2022 #181 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Thank you! I hate the hustle and bustle of windjammer. Wipe out cafe for breakfast sounds like a good option. I really love the made to order omelette! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare niksmom630 Posted August 25, 2022 Author #182 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I’m always wishing for and extra night (or week lol) on a 7 night cruise. 8 nights seems to be the perfect number. 💕 Tomorrow, spa appointments and Giovanni’s dinner, may or may not get off in Labadee. then the last sea day, Bingo (just because we always say we will and never do) Johnny rockets for lunch, then little wonders scavenger hunt and pub crawl. solarium time today….. belly flop competition at the pool….. I always wondered why they did it at the aqua theatre on theses larger ships and this is why…. just a sea of people….. couldn’t even get close to the railing outside to take this photo. The best I could do was excuse myself and talk someone into letting me squeeze in by the window of the windjammer to capture this pic…. turned out to be a perfect time to grab lunch in the windjammer, because it was deserted 👍 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare niksmom630 Posted August 26, 2022 Author #184 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Lines outside the MDR last night for those with MTD. Consider yourself warned 😲 this is around 7 pm, which I assume is prime time for those who think 5:15 is too early and 8:15 is too late . we arrived about 10 minutes late because we were taking some photos along the way, and when we got there they had seated someone else at our early dining table. our waiter saw us leaving and quickly found us another spot in his section, and apologized profusely. we were late, so I wasn’t upset about it, but just to note they might be giving your table away if now if you are not prompt! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered why they did it at the aqua theatre on theses larger ships and this is why…. They stopped doing the belly flop in the Aquatheatre a few years ago because of liability concerns as the pool has several niches where the divers hang out and the fear was that a guest could get stuck under there. It was a much better venue, really wish they could find a way to hold it there again 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. There’s a line for reservations too. Most of the time the with and without reservations lines are about the same wait time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare niksmom630 Posted August 26, 2022 Author #194 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) This mornings activities included a spa treatment and then breakfast at wipe out….. the spa special was a 70 minute head to foot massage and eye treatment for $169, gratuity additional but 18% automatically added at the end. Port special. this was better than any similar treatment price using my C&A discount, and they are not combinable. spa pricing I don’t usually visit the spa on cruises, but decided to try it since it had been awhile. the treatment was great, although beware the upsell of scented vs “regular” oils. Also expect the post massage upsell for a variety of products. They are not pushy tho…. A simple “thanks” and “I’ll think about it” and I was on my way a few spa area photos Edited August 26, 2022 by niksmom630 Sp 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare niksmom630 Posted August 26, 2022 Author #198 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I can’t remember the last time we were in Labadee. the views around are stunning! I don’t plan on getting off though. Enjoying a virtually empty ship and didn’t have to take out a second mortgage to fund a cabana rental. 🤑 we had an OTW cabana here years ago and really liked it, but it was a fraction of the price they charge now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they offer made to order eggs?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
