    What ports did you go to?  Excursions?

    Cayman Islands, Costa Maya, Cozumel.

     

    Sting Ray City & Calico Jacks in Grand Cayman. Great fun. Sting Rays are cool and loved the Jerk Chicken at CJ's.

    Didn't do anything but walk around in the 2 Mexican ports. Mostly just chilled.

     

    This cruise was about relaxation. Busy year.

  2. Hey everyone...had a fantastic cruise. Best one of the 15 I've done. 

     

    December cruising has become a favorite of mine. Something about the Christmas music. Really festive feel to the entire cruise. 

     

    The ship is in great shape. Clean. Very friendly crew. I particularly enjoyed the MDR staff. Our waiter and assistant were top notch. Excellent every night.

     

    Stayed in a Junior Suite on deck 9. This was the best room I've had. I appreciated the extra space. The walk-in closet was probably worth the extra money on it's own. Starting to think I need this. Hahahaha. The tub and larger space to shower I didn't care about. That closet though. Awesome. The larger balcony was a big plus in my opinion.

     

    Ate too much. Drank wayyyyy too much. Had a blast ! Hahahahaha. Awesome. 

    I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Adventure to anyone considering her. Wonderful trip.

    Port of Miami

    Terminal A

     

    I was talking to a friend about the fact that I dont like to give my luggage to a porter and walk away until he said “ you can drop it yourself and it goes straight to the terminal “ 

    He didn’t use that systems but he told me you can place it yourself in a baggage carousel and it goes straight to the scanner- is it like that ? 

    I always give my bags to the porters. Watch them load the bags on to the cart. Chat for a brief moment. Nice guys I’ve run into generally. I hand the guy a $5 and head on my way. Bags always get to my room. I hope the porter buys beer with my $5.

    Hi All-

     

     

    I was a GTY Junior Suite on the Independence of Seas and today was assigned #1102. I believe this is a new room, so I haven't found much information on it. Has anyone had any insight or stayed in the new section of Deck 11?

    I stayed in 1101 on Adventure of the Seas in April. It is, of course, an inside stateroom. My response is addressing this new section of Deck 11. My opinion is that it’s super convenient. Basically right there at the Solarium. Same deck as The Windjammer. Great on At Sea Days. Also right at the stairway & elevator bank. Great place in my opinion.

    How does it work?

    If I prepay tips, drink package, excursion etc  what can I use a TA Onboard Credit for?

     

    Could I use it for Voom internet package?

     

    thanks

    If you buy the drink package (I do about half the time) Voom is a perfect way to spend it. I also have a habit of picking up a watch to remind me of each cruise. 

  6. The TA I use sends me an email almost immediately with an Invoice number from the TA and it also includes the confirmation number from RC. Every time I make a payment I get an updated email. As mentioned above the charges on my credit card show up in a day or so from RC themselves. Ask your TA to email you an updated invoice. If they won’t something isn’t right.

    We have been on Brilliance of the Seas, loved it in our top 3 ships, and Freedom of the Seas which was also very nice. 

     

    I know now it falls in between the two size wise and I believe it freestyle machines, hoping it has a foosball table. 

    Just sailed on Adventure this past April. You will find it very similar to the Freedom Class. Slightly smaller but doesn’t feel like a smaller ship most of the time. Adventure is in great shape in my opinion. I am sailing on her again this December. You will no doubt enjoy !

    Looking at caribbean cruises leaving from Florida in January and was wondering if the weather is usually warm enough to lounge on the beach? Also, coming from the northeast, I am worried about flight cancellations and missing the cruise. Should I aim to arrive two days earlier or is a day earlier good enough?

    I’m from New York and understand the concern about flight cancellations. Years back my flight would’ve been canceled due to a major storm. Taking good advice and having left a day early the travel went off with no problem. Miami was a bit chilly for them. 68° or so. The Caribbean was fine. Near normal. Having said that, spending an extra day in Florida in January can’t be a bad thing. Drinking by the pool beats shoveling snow. Have fun !

    It can get quite windy outside, at least it was a few weeks ago. We started off out but came in after a little while as my hair was blowing all over the place.

    I recall being on Explorer of the Seas back in 2003. That area was the sports bar at that time. I look forward to getting back there and checking it out. Thanks !

    Those are the hours on our current sailing out of Southampton, but when we sailed Indy in January out of Ft. Lauderdale, it was 4:30-8:00pm.  

     

    They change the times ones based on when they set the early and late dinner times.  The times for your cruise will be in the letter in your cabin. 

    Great information. Appreciate it.
