For those who have been asking about the sargassum at Orient…
Hello. We’re on island and considering doing a three or four hour island tour that doesn’t go to the usual places (Front Street, Maho, Orient (where we’re staying)). There’s so many places we haven’t been that we’re at a loss of where to go during the tour. I trolled the sub, but with places shutting down for holiday, what are some suggestions from those who are here or been here this time of year? Thanks
Hi. We had lightning strike across the street. The temperature data locked in at an abnormal high temperature and hasn’t changed since then. Everything else is recording correctly. I tried pulling the batteries and draining the solar panel. What other options do I have to fix the temperature? Thanks
We’re going to Bank of America stadium in Charlotte to see AC/DC tomorrow night. For those of you that have been to that stadium, will our tickets be scanned anywhere else in the stadium (going to seats, etc.), or do they just look at the seat information to make sure you’re in the right section? No one else in my group has a Ticketmaster account and they really don’t want to get an account for a one time thing. Thanks

Hi. Is it possible to connect a family member’s malware infected computer on my home wi-fi network without risking our devices (phones, iPads, camera system, etc.)? It’s currently running PCMatic on it. I need to get the malware off and/or wipe the whole computer. We’re looking at putting them on an iPad instead of a computer to make things simpler (they have memory issues), but they really want their computer back. Thanks
For those that remember and miss Club O…
Hi. We were able to get a concierge cabin for slightly more than a veranda so we jumped on it. Can any experienced cruisers confirm how many points from a concierge cabin transfers to C&A? I’m seeing 1:1 and I’m seeing 2:2 when I search online. We’re getting close to Diamond on Royal so I’m trying to push all the points I can towards it. Thanks
Hi. I’m looking at a cruise that stops in Astoria next May. Does anyone know if Royal offers an excursion that goes to Mt St Helens? Logistically it looks doable though it would be a long day. Thanks
We’re looking at two apartments on opposite ends of the island for our next stay. What is everyone doing with their luggage when they can’t check into their lodging yet? We won’t have a rental vehicle to store it in. We kicked around the idea about going to Loterie Farm to hang out for the day and hope they might hold our luggage for us. How crazy does it get there on Sunday during high season? Any other ideas for places to hang out (not the beach)? Thanks
Edit: Going from French side to Dutch side (somewhere near the airport most likely).
Has anyone stayed in the apartments above the restaurants in Orient Village? If so, what was the noise level like after hours? Any other issues? I know Yellow Sub does karaoke, but I can’t remember when that is normally over by. Thanks
Has anyone done the hop on hop off bus in Halifax? Better to book through the ship or once we get there? My friend is questioning the “1 hour” listed for it, but I think it’s just some random time they had to put there. Thanks
