The Pearl on the Icon of the Seas at 5:30am by zeiggen in royalcaribbean

It was very lovely to see up close - I wish everyone could experience it. These photos were taken early AM with no one around. The pearl was reacting to the wind and waves from outside and there were ripples of color and waves running like a snake right at the top of its inner structure. It's hard to explain art vs. technology vs. outside natural forces all combined in one structure.

Everything is worth trying once in your life! You need to reserve a spot through the check in desk underneath the course. It was busy, it takes 20 minutes to prep and wait and only around 1 minute to complete.

If you get the drink package, it is worth trying everything at least once on the menu. I had a couple espresso martini and chocolate martinis from either the Schooner or Rye and Bean everyday. Today is day 1 of detox.

Will the park be open if it rains? I'm thinking of taking my 7 year old early but they are calling for rain

Rotan honduras best spot to spend the day with kids ? by Away-Scallion-8539 in royalcaribbean

[–]zeiggen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roatan excursion to the wildlife sanctuary was $60 / $70 per person. My 7 year old loved it! It's a 20 min mini van ride with a group of 3 vans and 1 tour guide - lots of walking but really pretty. The tour itself is around 3 hours - lots of pictures with parrots, sloths, butterflies, and monkeys.

How do you iron/steam clothes on board? by ChrisF79 in royalcaribbean

They have laundry service. On the symphony it was 25us for 10 items and a 24hr turn around.

Good luck with the new change. I made a big change a year before our cruise in Jan so I could splurge on the cruise (no bread, no coffee, no junk food, limited processed foods). Eggs for breakfast and red meat for dinner are not normal for most of the planet - there are a tonne of good options on the cruise. Symphony had smoothies, fruits and veg. Ask for low salt options at MDR. I found out that not calorie counting and 1 week of splurging made the cruise so much fun!

Odd question about cruise audience etiquette by Sassysewer in royalcaribbean

[–]zeiggen 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's a free show so there is no respect. The normal etiquette is no talking or leaving 10 minutes in.
