Hey guys!
I think we'll get that PIF thing done sooner, rather than later, just because I don't want it hanging over my head. We haven't booked an excursion since we had the kids, but rather enjoy just wandering around the port of call. My husband has a "thing" about always keeping the ship in sight, lol.
We have done this exact cruise before - right down to the Star Wars (we're not ardent fans, either) theme. It's super cool seeing these characters walking around. Most favorite stop is Cozumel (aside from Castaway Cay) - least - Grand Cayman. Jamaica was nice, but we probably wouldn't venture out of the cruise ship "touristy" section again without signing up for something ahead of time.
I am hoping that buffets are open & that no masks are required indoors by the time we go. I'm vaccinated & totes understand mask mandates - I'm just hoping we're past that part of the pandemic at that point is all. BTW, re: cell service. At Cozumel, there's a Starbucks at port where many gather to check their emails, etc. It's hilarious to see everyone just staring at their phones.
