We did Moneyland adventures which was great, then took a walk into town after we got back to the port and saw Pink Street & Umbrella Street and had a look round the shops.

There is no need to use the trainline. There is zero benefit over using one of the operator websites and you get charged a booking fee. Use https://www.avantiwestcoast.co.uk/ pay exactly the same price without the booking fee. The timetable for 23rd June is not yet confirmed so you can't book yet though.

Yup. Another vote for Dublin. We landed in Dublin at 11.20am and took off for Newark at 1.00pm ! You've got to book it as a 'through ticket' via Aer Lingus for it all to work though. I was panicking with the short connection time but as the initial flight was on time it was no drama. If the first flight had been late I imagine they'd have put us on the JFK flight.

Wonder of the Seas -- Society of Puzzles
swoopy2110 replied to nicknack's topic in Royal Caribbean International
It's not an escape room as such, but more a room with some puzzles in you need to solve in order unlock a box with a medal in (I think it was) which means you win. When we did it they said not many teams were able to complete it due to the difficulty. We completed it with about a minute to spare. It was challenging. I prefer the actual escape rooms though. -
Hello I presume there is no issues getting a Subclass 651 eVisitor to enter AUS / cruise, which is a free Visa, seeing as I'm in the UK and looks like we are eligible to apply for them? Thanks.

Oasis Abyss slide - fun or scary?
swoopy2110 replied to kuku77254's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Agreed. Promises a lot but found it slow/ -
Also got off Explorer last Sunday. Was actually one of our most favourite cruises. Ship felt very 'fun' and really enjoyed it. I've suggested in the post cruise survey they look to update the quiz questions / music clips they use as I'm sick of hearing the same 20 tracks for the past 3 years! Food is subjective, but both of us found the dining room excellent on this occasion. Food was hot and tasty, service could have been a little quicker but wasn't a problem. Oh, and we really enjoyed Perry Grant too 😉 Totally different piano man style than other ships we've been on.

A new feature in the app
swoopy2110 replied to la_croisiere_s'amuse's topic in Royal Caribbean International
That's brilliant! looking forward to hopefully seeing that at the end of the week. -
Close thread.

Can anyone who's been on Explorer when she's out in the Caribbean advise if they show English Football onboard? I think it'll probably hinge on whether or not the ship has the 'Sport24' channel or not, but someone who's been onboard recently my be able to advise. Thank you.

Leaving Labadee to see country?
swoopy2110 replied to Perfusionist's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Boat trip to fabricated local village tickled me 😄 -
If its stuck at pending this it will drop off in a few days. The bank will say its authorised as they've issued an auth code for it, but if RCI aren't going to claim it then it's never going to move on.

Anyone buying one of the $100,000 chalices that includes a life-time drinks package? 😄 See 'the blog' for further details. -
booked onboard but tied to original travel agent
swoopy2110 replied to CaribNomad's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Regardless of if it was transferred to the original agent or not, UK T&C don't allow price adjustments once the booking is made (although I thought you were allowed 1 price adjustment for an onboard booking. Maybe someone else knows). You could look to 'upgrade' to the next cabin class up if that's cheaper than the rate you've currently got as they do allow that. -
Icon is well out of my price range.

Won't be the last thing not ready either. The reviews from the Maiden voyage will be fun to read 🙂 -
A cruise from Australia 🇦🇺
swoopy2110 replied to little britain's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Very exited to read this 😄 We're going to AUS for the first time in 2025 (having a few days in Singapore on the way), few days in Sydney, then 11 night cruise on Ovation to NZ. It'll be great to get a 'Brits' take on it all. -
TRANSPORTATION FROM HEATHROW AIRPORT TO SOUTHAMPTON
swoopy2110 replied to Gitana's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
Don't use the trainline. They're a 3rd party that charge a booking fee. Book with any of the train companies (TPExpress / Northern / Southern / Crosscountry). Pay exactly the same price. Avoid the booking fee. -
Oddity over canceled Black Friday deal
swoopy2110 replied to pyrateslife4me84's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Utterly embarassing this sort of stuff can happen. It's like the new version of the glitch of the 'old' version of the website where if you entered the reservation in the wrong way then it could reprice your booking / remove all your discounts. -
Looking forward to the email: "We've added some stingrays and lemon sharks to enhance your experience of Perfect Day at CocoCay. As a result of this there will be an additional charge of $5 per guest, plus and 18% gratuity for your convenience"

Denied Boarding at Port, with PITIFUL Compensation
swoopy2110 replied to SG65CB's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Dreadful compensation offering. So sorry for those that have lost out on flights, time off work etc. Reflects very poorly on RCI
