We've been to all the animal parks.   We like Mayan Eden the best.   I recommend Ronystours .com.

@#1TravelMom We already crossed paths regarding Rony and Roatan in another thread but this led me to a a follow-up question... What are your thoughts on Manawakie vs. Mayan Eden?

What do they have for breakfast?   Thanks.

Menu is in the app.

This 6 day sailing is simple not long enough to fully appreciate the food options and the wide variety of menu options.

Given how stuffed I get and the weight I gain in 7N on a ship like Wonder... anything significantly longer might put me in medical. 🙈

Makes it real hard to go to the restaurants.  There was also a whole roasted pig at the carving station

I was just thinking that I might never leave the buffet how I eat, lol, but that sorta defeats the purpose of having all that other stuff included. I suppose I could be lured away by a good steak or two (and my picky wife who could happily have filet 7 nights in a row, lol).

Again, the food sounds amazing.

Now I have to figure out where "over there" is! sigh

RC Blog dot com. Spell it out fully.

I found one on the Jewel.

The link I posted shows all of them.

Cause the food on Coco Cay like Labadee sucks.

This is why food is subjective. Couldn't disagree more. Love the food on CocoCay.

Haven't been to Labadee in forever but agree that the offerings there looked awful... nothing like CocoCay.

Also, leaving after 2pm isn't exactly late if you got off the ship first thing. We've left at 2pm before because we were hot and stuffed after spending 5-6 hours there.

You can search by port of call on the website. The answer is yes although not many.

click on still looking for help

This. If you keep clicking through you will eventually get the usual list of phone numbers.

Going there in both June and July, not remotely concerned.

Bill and Mike, I am waiting for both your reviews and pictures ......come on get onboard already! Getting impatient!😁😆......Have to wait till June 6????🙄really! ......LOL!

FYI, my review will likely be posted elsewhere. Last June I cross-posted my semi-live review both here and at another popular blog site and it got pretty annoying to double paste and then try to double follow comments/questions. It was just too much. In March I did a live Wonder report "over there" and will likely do the same for my upcoming cruises.

EDIT: BTW, I'm also not thrilled about Bill waiting until June 6th, lol. I don't want to read his on day 5 of my cruise, I want to read it leading up to my cruise!

unused vouchers

Now that we just turned D+ and given that my wife barely drinks, I've challenged myself to work on this, lol. Even at D I usually had a couple sodas and Trulys in the fridge from leftover vouchers. I don't mind using a few this way but I vow to make better use of them.

It's good to have goals, right? 😁

Is it correct they'll also get 4 vouchers that can be used to towards shakes/virgin drinks?

Yes. My young nieces love using their vouchers on virgin daiquiris.

This beach/pool day seems like something I’d like to do with our family of 12.  Do you book this privately? Could someone share the link?  We are going in December.  
TIA

Sorry, my post wasn't very clear - after I read it, I was confused. lol

 

I was able to type in the passport information so I'm assuming that's all we have to do.

As far as travel documents, yep, that should do it.

I'm just in the process of doing our online check-in - I thought I had read others doing check-in had to upload their travel documents(passports) but I didn't see anywhere to do that.  I did upload a picture - is that all I have to upload?

No, there’s a section to enter your passport info. In the app you can scan it. On the website you have to manually type it. Try looking again.

For those commenting about the free party atmosphere at oasis, the DJ is no longer at oasis. Only hideaway. So if you want a quiet pool, oasis might be for you

FWIW, we always sit in the same exact spot by the Oasis pool not that far from where the DJ used to be & the volume of music in March didn’t seem any different than when there was a human DJ (not loud but not silent).

I’ve always felt the Oasis pool is far too large to generalize about as far as being loud or having a “party atmosphere.” It only seemed that way to me if you were right in front of the DJ or sitting at the bar. Just one man’s opinion, of course.

Hi new to RCL, where and when can I add our passport information to the booking? We are 75 days out from sailing, I don't see a place in the app.   

When check-in opens 45 days before your cruise.

So many different stations, sushi (delicious), ceviche, fresh grill, pasta, carving station, burgers, charcuterie, pizza, panini, desserts and I am sure I am missing a few.

Sounds amazing. I still remember when RC had sushi in the “Jade” section of WJ a long time ago. Used to have some before dinner every night.

Might have to talk to my TA. He just keeps booking me on the same RC ships out of PC for some reason. 🤷‍♂️🤣

Enjoy your cruise!

Thank you for the info.

 

We'll be watching for the deals.

No problem and I don't want to get your hopes up about the deals. There have been VERY FEW deals like that from PC over the past year and the GGG flier is currently a joke for anything from FL, but if you have the time, doesn't hurt to check.

I have got mine today after requesting it from the loyalty ambassador. 

What's in there besides the pin? Anything? I think I've seen a luggage tag mentioned in the past.

Do they have any kids content? I'll be bringing a tablet for my son loaded with shows but always good if there's something on the TV as well.

Yes, there are a few kids channels for varying ages.

What time does Online Check-In usually open on Day 45?

Midnight in the time zone where the ship departs.

What do you get for HH if you don't get unlimited drinks?  Do you just have to use your 4 vouchers and there are some appetizers?

They serve the same snacks as before. Your 4 vouchers are good anywhere at anytime (they reset at 5am each day). You don’t have to use them during HH but if you ordered a drink you would have to use a voucher (or pay).

do miss the days (I live less than 45 minutes from PC in Florida) where we could just go on last minute shorties for well under $100 a night.

While very rare these days, keep an eye out. We booked Allure’s first sailing from PC last October about 30 days out for under $100pp per night.

It’s definitely not like the previous October when Indy 4-nighters started at $129pp base price in the GGG sale for 4-5 weeks in a row. I just wish our schedules allowed us to go more than once at the time.

Will they ask about our transportation after the cruise to determine our group number for getting off the ship?  It's been a minute since we have been on a cruise and I can't remember. 

You choose your own departure time/method in the app once onboard now.
