I agree - not enough time to spend there to make it worth the trip.

We are looking at a few excursions for St Kitts or St Martin - we'd like to go snorkeling where we would have a decent chance of seeing sea turtles.

Good tours for this?

RCCL has a reef snorkel - is this from the beach or boat if anyone has taken the tour?

Prior to the Hurricane's of 2017, we were planning to do this workshop. Now we are headed back to the island but don't see it offered on the ship. Does anyone know if this Steel pan drum lesson is offered with another operator?

When I went earlier this month - you could leave anywhere between 2 and 4. Someone in our group said that they tried to go early and got turned away.

So you would chose to do this again? My husband and I are booked for a day in December. I’ve been thinking about buying a Nikon underwater camera to have that day but it sounds like that would be of no benefit. What time would you recommend getting off the ship? I can’t think of anything to ask.

If I was going to Costa Maya again - I totally would! I Leave the camera behind - you won't see anything with it but you'll have great food and drinks!

If you search "APDMOM" she did a review of their Spring Break cruise from this year (I believe) that contained good information. Hopefully she'll hop on here and give you the link!!

 

We are also going in March 2018, bring our DS13, as well as friends with kids DS15 DD12. We haven't cruised Freedom yet, so can't offer you any info.

Thanks!!

Tried to book a suite but weren't able to unless we wanted the Royal Family Suite.. As the final payment date gets closer, do more free up with cancellations, etc? Any experience?

DH and I just booked Freedom after returning last weekend from the Oasis OTS and were having post cruise blues. Taking our kids and parents on this one.

We have a tween and a nine year old - anyone use the kids programs and how were they for each age group (9 and 12).

Is the Flowrider included? We didn't try it on the Oasis but thought it was extra.

What are your favorite must do's or can't misses?

Thanks much!! I apparently didn't save the cruise compasses so appreciate it!

Yes, free to suite guests. It's still the best buy on the ship. Greatly speeds up debarkation.

Make sure you book this on time tho! I didn't read the cut off and we missed it =(

Great thanks. Those are great tips. Did you guys use a locker? If not, what did you do with your stuff?

We did sadly waste 40 min in the locker line (or locker ride as it got called..) because we didn't have anywhere else to put our stuff that was protected. There were only 2 of us, we wanted to ride the rides together and not take turns watching stuff. Have fun!

Just off the Oasis and I was trying to look up the comedian(s) that were on the Oct 8 sailing.

Anyone have that info?

TIA!

Just got back from Maya chan and wanted to post a few quick items.. Also answer any questions if I can.

First off - they are very upfront about what to expect (Bumpy roads, sea grass on the beach and cloudier water). Their team could not have worked harder to greet everyone, make everyone feel at home, welcomed and taken care of! Great food - and lots of it, the drinks were flowing and plentiful! Lots of beach toys, paddleboards, kayaks, floaty chairs. The massages were a nice touch - $45 for an hour is super reasonable. I did see a Jellyfish while in the water so beware there but that's not really anything they can control. Snorkeling to the reef we were told wasn't recommended, was hoping to see some sea turtles or fish and that was the only thing we didn't. You didn't feel like you had a crowded area, everything was well managed!

As they said to us - if you're looking for the crystal blue waters, this isn't the place but if you're looking for a relaxing beach break - it was great. Last tip - DO NOT FORGET BUG SPRAY!

For the $45 if you want a massage, go for it. My husband and I did a couples massage and it wasn't bad but wasn't the best either. For $45 each, it was worth that price.

We just came back and had booked this same thing. A few tips.. Get off the ship as early as possible to catch the first round of shuttles to Atlantis. By the time you get there and go through the slow walk to the pool - it feels like ions. Do everything you can to avoid needing a locker, the most inefficient process EVER! One person and a massive line of people needing a locker, it was a waste of at least 30 min. The Lazy river is amazing, go from Enterance 1 to Exit 9, have a blast =).

We just got off the Oasis on the 15th and had Captain Per.

LOVE Sea turtles and am having a hard time deciding which to book. Experiences with either of these excursions on Royal Caribbean?

Looking to buy a Movado dress watch for my husband and trying to decide whether to buy it here or wait until we are on our cruise. I've heard Diamonds International has good deals but looking for anyone familiar. We will be in Costa Maya and Cozumel, prefer a location close to port as we have excursions both locations. Suggestions?

Thanks all!!!

Thanks!!

Can't wait for our cruise!! Anyone that's been to the Tiffany's on board? Similar in price and selection to a normal Tiffany's or at least do they have items that aren't "ultra" high end?

TIA!
