Hi There

Just looking at shore excursions. There is 2 adults and an 8 year old. We want to swim with the dolphins for sure.

I've looked at TripAdvisor but also keen to hear which one people recommend - Dolphinaris or Dolphin Discovery - Chankanaab park which seems to also have a lot more on offer - sea lions, manatees, zip line etc.

Also considering the Sea Treck Helmet dive - any comments on this?

Has anyone done the Reef Explorer semi-sub.

Any comments on the sea turtle snorkel?

Obviously we won't be able to do everything but keen to pick the best thing or things - the above is what is of interest. Keen to give our 8 year old as much sea life interaction as possible she won't get it back in NZ.

Thank you!

Thanks again! That is great - we have booked ajoining balcony cabins over looking Central Park just been reading that people prefer the bed near the windows as it sounds like there is more room to access the wardrobe that way. Will go with the flow when we arrive I think.

Thanks so much you have been really helpful!

My partner and I will have a drinks package - on port days will that also give us bottled water to take with us?

Hi There

I'm a first time cruiser still trying to find my way around this site too! I've already asked a few questions and some of you have been very helpful! I've also had advice to ask Royal Caribbean some of the questions however I struggle to get responses especially by email.

A few things I am hoping you can help me with.

1. I've seen on some threads that you can request the configuration of your room - how do you actually do this?

2. We will have a rental car that we need to drop off at the Fort Lauderdale Airport - I see there is some sort of bus transfer we can get to the port - can anyone give me information about this?

3. In terms of drinks we will have an 8 year old with us who drinks water and apple juice only doesn't like soda - do we need to get her a drinks package or is water/apple juice available?

Thanks so much just to confirm while I am a US citizen my partner and his daughter are New Zealand citizens - do they need Visas for any of the ports of call?

Also we are big foodies and would like to do the chefs table - are there babysitting services on board?

Amazing review can you please help me? My partner and I will be taking our 8 year old on our first cruise. We are from New Zealand my father and family live in Florida. I'm an American Citizen with a US passport. A few questions:

We are going on a 7 night Western Caribbean cruise that departs at 5 pm - how early can you board? The website says 3 hours before? If possible I'd like to avoid lots of standing around in lines I know our 8 year old will not cope.

Do we need visas at all for any of the port stops?
