Creator's Key Takeaways

For it to be a signature excursion and to be have to have a heftier price tag. Um to have this many people on the boat, to have the food be mediocre, to have the food be grumpy, that's it's kind of the the three strike rule for me.

I did not think to check the kids weight before our excursion today. And Griffin weighs 5 lbs too little and Chloe 2 lb too little. So, um, we are unable to go on the excursion and we are bummed out.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Order glow-in-the-dark golf balls off Amazon to bring your own so you can play mini golf any night and avoid crowds.
βœ“Give yourself extra time when meeting off the ship for excursions to avoid being last in line.

Excursion meeting points β€” Sometimes you meet in the theater, sometimes you meet off the ship; check your specific zone.
Getting off the ship quickly β€” Don't wait for the app time; the gangway might be down earlier than expected. Arrive early to avoid long lines.

We return to the island of St. Thomas on our cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Star of the seas. We have a "Royal Signature Excursion" called Turtles and Tacos Catamaran Sail and Snorkel. But, does it turn out to be worth the signature price tag? Back on board we grab dinner in Surfside Eatery, Griffin gets to play the Yes or No Gameshow, and we check out the awesome ice show called Sol. The next day finds us in St. Maarten where Schooner dad finds out he has made a huge mistake that affects our entire day. The kids handle it like champs though, and we do some more exploring the massive ship. We have some fun in the Arcade, check out the new locations in the Aquadome Market, and try some secret shots at the Rye & Bean. After dinner we Light up the night with some glow in the dark mini Golf.
