7 day Caribbean cruise update.

Hello Fellow Adventures and Cruise Enthusiast.

I hope you are doing well and resting after attending the National Convention in Orlando. I’ve had multiple inquiries about the upcoming cruise set for March 2025. It is for real, it is still available for anyone wishing to participate and have fun come March.

Here is a current update about the itinerary for the ship and ports we will be stopping at.

We have a good group who have already committed to where we have 8 cabins assigned with a little over 16 individuals as of July. I know this number will grow from the interest I’ve gathered from others at National Convention, so please read and reserve your spot aboard the Royal Caribbean, Symphony of the Sea cruise ship

Please share this cruise info with your family and friends they may want to sail with you! Just copy and paste this link and email it to them!

From our Travel agent about three websites, she uses for discounted excursions;

Please call for current cabin rates and registration.  Renita Claud

757-472-5076  (Text Me)

Let's talk about Shore Excursions- Once you are assigned a confirmation number you can start to book your activities while you are visiting each port (island).

I offer 3 discounted websites for you to book directly using the weblinks I am providing. You can only book using the links I am providing to receive these discounts!

You will want to search these websites by entering the date and destination as indicated below. I will make it easy by searching the first port for you Be mindful of the ship departure time. I would plan to be back on board 1-2 hours before the ship departs. I do not advise that you select a shore excursion that is more than 4 hours long! Once you find something you like call me so that I can answer any questions that you may have.

Please Note- Coco Cay, Bahamas is Royal Caribbean's private island. This will be a beach/ pool day no need for an excursion. I will send information about Perfect Day @ Coco Cay in my next email!

Ports of Call

Miami (Days 1, 8) Florida,

[Image.jpeg]

South Florida's exciting, international city is much more than the gateway to Latin America. It's one of the world's most popular vacation destinations. With it's world-renowned beaches, unrivaled nightlife, unique culinary experiences and Latin flavor, this is one place you'll want to check out. Before departing from Miami, enjoy a tour that will highlight this exciting city.

Attractions & Activities

Miami is known for its amazing attractions. While you should definitely schedule a day for beach relaxation, you should also be sure to plan ahead to check out the broader tourism scene. Just imagine, in one day you could catch some early morning sun at the beach, then head down the Everglades and visit a real working alligator farm where 2,000 alligators of all sizes live in natural settings at Everglades Alligator Farm. Not into giant native reptiles? The options are endless. Maybe you're thinking something more like a tour of a mansion with more than two thousand years of lifestyle artifacts? Well, you're in luck because we have that too at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens on Biscayne Bay. Vizcaya Museum & Gardens is the estate of James Deering, built in 1916, a sprawling formal garden and a stunning estate that's open to the public, has been the backdrop to many a film and photo shoot and continues to delight with its' timeless beauty. The examples of what you could to fill a day in Miami go on and on. A classic attraction is Zoo Miami. Kids and parents, animal lovers and educators can't resist the charm of a day at the zoo - and with a zoo like this, why would you? Flamingos, komodo dragons, meerkats, monkeys, rhinos of all kinds, lions, tigers and bears - oh my! - are all on exhibit at this world-class zoo. At Zoo Miami you'll take a trip around the world without ever leaving Miami. The zoo is divided into parts of the world: Africa, Asia, Australia and Future Tropical Americas. If you could spend all day at the zoo watching the monkeys jump around there's an attraction just for you: Monkey Jungle "where humans are in cages and monkeys run wild!" Located in South Dade Monkey Jungle is a 30 acre reserve where nearly 400 primates run and rove at their leisure. Monkey Jungle is part of a world-wide effort to save monkeys close to extinction and protect them within comfortable and familiar environments.

CocoCay (Day 2)

[Image.jpeg]

Our private island is a Bahamian paradise. Perfect Day at CocoCay® - is packed with first of their kind thrills and one of a kind ways to chill - only on Royal Caribbean. Features include, Thrill Waterpark, Coco Beach Club, Oasis Lagoon, Captain Jack's, Splashaway Bay, and more -- plus nature walks, beaches and plenty of spots to relax and recharge.

Attractions & Activities

BEACH DAY VIBES If you just want to unwind, head to Chill Island on the east side of CocoCay, where you’ll find plenty of ways to relax and recharge. Access to Chill Island is complimentary, as are beach chairs and hammocks, but for an additional cost you can up your relaxation game by reserving your own private cabana, clamshell or daybed. Or head to South Beach — Debuting December 2019 — where you’ll find plenty of beachside activities and water sports, plus lounge chairs for those who want to take a break from all the thrills.

Nassau (Day 3) Bahamas,

[Image.jpeg]

Nassau, has it all: a world-famous straw market, duty-free shopping, local and international restaurants and bars...all just a few steps away from vibrant turquoise waters. Explore the town's history at Fort Charlotte and the Queen's Staircase or hop on a catamaran for a snorkeling trip or sunset sail.

Falmouth (Day 5) Jamaica,

[Image.jpeg]

Step off the ship and step back in time. Time where quaint wooden houses lined the streets, village carpenters hand craft custom furniture, and tavern keepers warmly greet town guests. Falmouth Jamaica is often compared with Colonial Williamsburg, but this particular historic town comes with an advantage - the beautiful Caribbean Sun. You'll return with sun kissed skin, timeless memories as well as interesting historical tidbits to share with friends, like this one: Falmouth received piped water before New York City.

Attractions & Activities

Take a stroll through Falmouth's Historic District and explore an impressive collection of nineteenth-century Georgian architecture. Many of the buildings are still intact and renown for their unique gingerbread woodwork. From small wooden houses to brick Georgian mansions to plantation complexes, here you'll find yourself on a delightful excursion of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Labadee (Day 6) Hatiti,

[Image.jpeg]

A secluded spot on the north coast of Haiti, reserved soley for Royal Caribbean guests. Attractions: Floats, aquabikes, banana raft rides, snorkeling and other water sports. Also volleyball, beach barbecues, authentic Haitian art and local craftsmen.

Attractions & Activities

It's impossible to choose just one thing that's special about Labadee. The sandy beach and coral reefs provide a perfect place to relax and have fun. Whether you're interested in kayaking, snorkeling, parasailing or you just want to lie on the beach and relax, you won't want to miss Labadee.
