Delays are not unique to Villa Vie Residences!

Just to have some perspective on the cruise industry. Delays are not unique to Villa Vie Residences - they happen all the time! The press has been particularly tough on us. Let's hope they paint a new picture once we sail this weekend. Below is an article about Royal Caribbean's brand new Icon of the Seas - which just launched in January 2024 and their delays just this week!

Today we spent on the water. We had signed up for a beach and snorkel trip yesterday and had to move to today because we had tender issues into the port and missed the start time. Today was also looking bleak but the charter waited for us and even sent their tender over to our delayed shuttle and rescued us off so we could join the group waiting for us! It was a fun day, swimming and snorkeling over 4 different beach locations. The water, drinks and sunshine were all great fun!
