Does anyone have any pictures or have you rented the Bungalows in Haiti? I usually go with a cabana but they are sold out (as of now). I booked the bungalow but can't find any pictures other than the ones on royals site. I'd love any input. Will I be disappointed? Is it similar so I'll be glad I saved some $$?

Thanks!

As a Dive Master and someone who has seen these courses being taught on the ships...please....please find your local dive shop and get a good education. In my opinion diving is one of lifes greatest pleasures; with that being said it carries inherent risk and should be taught, studied and learnt with more respect than I have ever seen it given on the ships. Just my 2 cents but why not learn at home and then get to enjoy the wonders of the underwater world while on vacation!

Maybe it's just me but I find pulse of the seas to be a very silly name. I really hope it's not in the running.

Off topic, but this made me laugh. When I was working, I was an elementary school principal. I had the husband of one of my teachers call me to request a meeting. He wanted to provide me with the guidelines for how he expected me to treat his pregnant wife, and outline the campus and district policies he thought she should be exempted from!:eek:

I would be mortified if anyone other than myself were to speak with a superior of mine about an issue I was having. Oh lord it amazes me how little responsibility people take for themselves and their actions. I own a couple businesses where I employ many that are under 20 and I get calls from parents a couple times a year. I roll my eyes every time. But nothing beats a husband calling, oh my I can only imagine what you were thinking during that meeting.

I would think it would be much easier to just switch the reservation over. It's an easy fix just give rccl a call.

It's interesting watching the insults fly on this topic about others parenting. I guess that's the nature of the Internet. But I like that on Labadee the sea phones work. We left our 12 month old in the nursery for 4 hours at Labadee and he had a bit of a diaper explosion. They called to tell me they were going to change him into an AO sweat suit and to say he was fine. They were wonderful about communication and I was able to call if I had any concerns. I'm not sure if it is the same for older children but the sea phones really made me feel better about leaving the ship with out my most precious asset.

Yes all of the packages include the freestyle machines!

How is it a scam? 3rd and 4th person sail free, you only pay taxes and port fees and free upgrade.

Yes but the prices are highly inflated to compensate

Agree, Oasis. SO MUCH to do, and has Disney Pixar experience.

It's Dreamworks not Pixar but not a huge difference but matters to some

While that is not my favorite itinerary for Oasis. Oasis is a better ship hands down. I think the adults and children alike would prefer it more. Now if you care more about Ports then Jewel is the way to go

Less clothing. I am not an overpacker. Somehow every time I get on a cruise ship I find I have packed way more than I need!

That's pretty darn gross. I absolutely love Bermuda too. Here's to hoping they are able to rectify the situation and find a new process of disposing of waste.

Great rooms but no aft is the rear of the ship. If it is true aft not port or starboard aft you will absolutely love the room. Some of the best on the seas!

Hope it all works out

Not everybody is in it on the Explorer? They made everybody play on the ships Ive been on. Either a million small teams (way more fun) or the room divided.

I agree I like it so much better on the smaller ships the small groups are great!!!!!! So much more interaction.

Quest on Oasis and Allure is in Studio B.

I would call ASAP and see what's going on. If the florider is up and running and for some strange reason they cancelled you go sign up for it as soon as you get on the boat. On our last cruise we had a private lesson and loved it so much we booked the florider for hour long personal riding sessions twice after that. It is truly a blast

We took our little guy the day he turned three months old. It was a much more laid back cruise then we had done in the past seeing as I had a newborn to tend to but everyone was amazing. It was wonderful to have no worries other than my little guy!

A lifesaver for me is this little contraption that hooks onto the car seat and pretty much turns it into a car seat for strolling around the airport. It's so easy to use. I wish I had a better picture but this should give you an idea of what it is. . It's kind of like one of those old school luggage carts.

It's going to be a rocky departure!

Sorry I misread your question. Just call royal and say you need one in the room.

You do have to request them so they make sure there are enough on board. Not that I think it is an issue but I would not want to be inboard and find out its a cruise with a ton on little ones and no PNP's left. But defiantly bring your own fitted sheet and if your LO uses a pillow bring a pillowcase. Our sons face broke out from the harsh chemicals they use to launder their linens.

Labadee is so much fun!!! I highly recommend an itinerary that makes a stop there.

I actually prefer to sail on Oasis with cabins that are adjacent. With the balcony divider open you can go from room to room easily and you get two rooms with couches. I sailed this way with my family and my brothers and it was great! With your children being older i would think having the door is not a necessity. Not to mention a little extra privacy for mom and dad is never a bad thing!
