Glad Royal cancelled that Port and continues to keep us safe! Too bad you could not visit the mountains of Ecuador, some expats there tell me life is quite normal there away from the coast.

Bookings available...go for it. The negative for us ref mini legs is that DH can't handle the long flights. Wish we could!! We all need to get the traveling in while healthy enough to do so. Thank you so very much for sharing your experiences with us.😔🌹 Edited February 1 by Etta1213 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After lunch, we visited several Parks and enjoyed another dessert snack, a Picarones at “Picarones Mary’s”, famous from “Street Food Latin America”, a Netflix show. Picarones are sweet potato and pumpkin “donuts” drizzled in sugar cane syrup. We saw a house built by a man who ran for president and didn't win, but was so upset he built a smaller copy.🤣 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so very much for sharing your experiences with us.😔🌹 I agree....the long flights are never fun, and I cannot sleep at all on red eye flights. Not a problem for us on this one, since we only had to fly from Orlando to Miami to pick up our first quarter, (which we did same day...35 minute flight 😉 ). Then we are disembarking in LA to fly back to Orlando. No foreign country airports to deal with either...bonus. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad Royal cancelled that Port and continues to keep us safe! Me too...though I was most frustrated with shore excursions desk just before end of 2nd mini leg. I asked about the Manta stop and was told shoreside services had no issue with it, and our tour was still scheduled. I promptly went upstairs and cancelled the tour online (which put the refund back to credit card...instead of OBC credit). Other cruise lines had cancelled that port of call weeks ago prior. RCI likes to treat as as "mushrooms"...you know...keep us in the dark and throw fertilizer on us? 😉 Edited February 1 by island lady 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
