RC Dancers

We will be boarding in September from Barcelona.

We would like to hear what you did in the different ports.

Thank you

We did this about five years ago. We let guest services know and they wanted a copy of our passports.

We had a hotel on Medano beach and water taxied there.

It was nice, but a little scary to watch the ship sail away in the evening.

We are also disappointed with this show choice. We saw it on Oasis and were bored with it.

HI

Did you need a full Chinese Visa or were you able to do the 72 hour visa free transit?

Our travel agency says that the full visa is not needed.

Thanks

They don't really have ballroom type dances on Carnival. Usually they will have a band in the smoke filled casino who will play some rhythm type dances or have some disco or salsa type theme for an hour or so in the smoke filled disco. As far as finding a dance partner, I would say that it is not likely.

Sometimes, they have a latin band on board to play Salsa, Cumbia, Merengue, Bachata.

As far as line dances go, they have the usuals, Electric Slide, Wobble, Cupid Shuffle. Better to learn them pre cruise on youtube.

If she is serious about dancing, take lessons before leaving home and book one of the dance cruises like Stardust. There is a thread about ballroom dancing in the special interests section.

About a year and a half ago we used the luggage storage place at the end of the cruise terminal. They took our bags to the airport for a little extra fee.

Thanks for sharing ! I was curious as to what they may serve at the meet and greet . Looks wonderful .

We went to the Meet and Mingle on the May 6 sailing. They very nice Hors D'oeuvres (had to look that one up) in addition to the cake and drinks.

I highly recommend attending the event.

Does your itinerary still include Jeju? RCCL Ovation cancelled the stop due to security concerns in Korea.

Thank you for posting. Who was the cruise director?

My advice is not to wait until the final evening to pick out your package pictures. The photo shop is generally swamped at that time.

I have done both, but find it generally better to be off the ship in the mornings when they are often running drills and tests of some sort.

We have been to Nassau and Cozumel many times, but there is generally some new thing to see or do.

Has anyone checked out Baha Mar on Cable Beach?

It looks like they just had their soft opening.

Thank you, we really enjoyed your review.

On our cruise in February:

-Sunday, at sea - Formal night

-Monday, Ocho Rios - suggested theme, White

-Tuesday, George Town (and Valentine's Day) - suggested theme, Green-White-Red

-Wednesday, Cozumel - suggested theme 70's-80's

-Thursday, at sea - Formal night

-Friday - Nassau - no suggested theme

 

The activity staff dressed accordingly and but I can't say I really remember all that many people dressing for the themes. There were Theme Party's on those night at starting at 10:30 or 11:00 but that is after my bed time 😴so I don't know if people dressed for those. On white night there probably was more white but that is an easy one. I wouldn't worry about dressing differently for theme nights unless you really want to.

Thank you, we love the themes.

Bumping this thread up. We would greatly appreciate this information.

We would be very appreciative if someone posted recent daily planners from the Divina Western Caribbean itinerary.

Thank you

On our December Divina trip, they had drones for sale in the Photography shop.

They said they were for use on shore.

Do you have to pick up the 12 Fantastica vouchers in the casino?

 

Her (electric) go kart track is supposed to be longer than Joy's, as said by FDR.

 

Sorry to be such a noob, but what is an FDR?

We would appreciate knowing which nights as well.

Thanks

We stayed there overnight a couple of years ago. It was very nice and the price was reasonable for South Beach. We generally stay downtown because we like the price and the Metromover.

Don't book online in the last couple of weeks before you cruise.

I did in December, two weeks before we sailed and couldn't print out our documents and luggage tags. The website said that we had an unpaid balance.

We stayed at the Langford in late December and had a nice stay. It is newly renovated and the rooms were somewhat small but the renovations were well done. The staff was very good.

It's close to the metromover, which is one of our priorities in downtown Miami.

We did the tour once and enjoyed it, but it was not compelling enough to go back.

There is a board under "Ports of Call" for the Bahamas that has extensive information on Atlantis and other places to go.
