But if she becomes your wife then she gets to be at your loyalty level. Just saying...

Does anyone have the cruise compasses from the Barbados route they could post? I can't find one since Dan Whitley started as CD.

Haven't been on Adventure, but they had them on Enchantment last month. If I remember correctly, they were free if you bought 8 beers, or were $8 or $9 if you just wanted the cooler.

Thanks for the info!

I tried searching but couldn't find a current answer. Do they still sell the beer coolers on Adventure? If so, does anyone one know how much it costs and how many beers come in the cooler? I'm concerned that the drink packages have taken over.

Does anyone know if they still sell the beer coolers? If so, does anyone know the current price?

My husband and I are Diamond members who recently signed up for our MGM mLife perks. I found the number for Casino Royale to get our mlife numbers added to our booking:

Call Royal Caribbean’s dedicated M Life number, (800) 762-0702, and they will apply a code to your reservation which allows onboard staff to identify you as an M Life member.

I was told that it won't combine with our balcony discount but that seems to be the only limitation.

Doesn't hurt to call and see what they say.

FYI - I just heard that on September 1, 2014 they will start charging $10 for anyone 6 years of age or older for the Dreamworks Character Breakfast. If you've already made reservations those will be grandfathered in. If you haven't made reservations yet I would hurry.

I agree with the PP, EX self debarkation can get pretty crazy! We have a RFS, and I think last time we got number 2's? You can have my tags, I never get off early! I like to enjoy breakfast and take my time before they boot me off :D

 

(And Im being totally serious - we can meet up on ship and trade tags, just let me know!)

That is SO nice of you to offer. I can let guest services know I have an early flight. I feel better that 1:40pm seems doable if I'm off by 10. Thanks to everyone for their help :)

If you leave your luggage out the night before, it might not have made it to the terminal when you leave and you can't go through customs without it. Your parents would need to be able to handle their bags going down stairs as well as on the shuttle.

Thanks for the information. I didn't know if the luggage that had been set out would be there or not. I think we should be able to help them get their luggage onto the shuttle bus.

Which airport are you flying out of and what time is your flight?

It's 1:40pm out of LGA (on a Saturday morning)

I am on the Explorer of the Seas 10/23/14 sailing and I have never tried the self debarkation. We have a tight air schedule and I've been reading that we should do this to meet our car service. Has anyone sat their luggage out as if you were going to wait to be called but gone down early to customs with everyone else dragging their luggage? I'm concerned my elderly parents will have trouble managing their bags.

We are sailing on the Explorer of the Seas (8am arrival) and currently have a 1:40pm flight out of LGA on Saturday, Nov 1, 2014. I'm considering changing it to 12:00pm out of EWR. I would prefer to leave out of EWR but I was concerned that there wouldn't be enough time.

Is soda included in that? I didn't see it on the list. Also, can you get it in the theater before a show?

I emailed them in regards to this and this was my email reply today:

The instant you step aboard the Explorer of the Seas you will feel the energy and excitement that will accompany you throughout your cruise vacation.

You will have plenty of opportunities to relax onboard as well. Whether you want to lounge in the sun by the pool, sip a cappuccino at Café Promenade, or pamper yourself at the Vitality Spa, there are virtually limitless options to help you forget the outside world as you feel your stress just melt away. Your time onboard the Explorer of the Seas will truly be an unforgettable event.

You should be fine but I would highly recommend the valet service(if available on your airline) for $20 each that will send your luggage directly to the airport. You won't have to mess with it until you get to your home airport.

New drinking game....take a drink every time Ken Rush (cruise director) uses 'I' or 'me'. He really thinks a lot of himself.

That being said, we had a great time :)

What are the small wonders on Allure? What does small wonders refer to?

They are magnified "wonders" throughout the ship on Oasis and Allure. Here's a picture of one:

You look inside. There are about 39 (I think).

Also...

If you are ever on a ship and Matt Yee is playing in the Schooner (Piano) Bar, GO! He's fantastic!

1. One of the most useful tips I have is to put a wash cloth in the slotted rack in the shower so your shampoo, conditioner, etc. doesn't fall through.

2. If you don't like the iced tea that they serve, request a glass of ice and a pitcher of hot tea to make your own. Also works if you prefer "sweet tea", just add your sugar to the pot.

3. On the Oasis there are "Small Wonders" throughout the ship that are fun to find. Not sure if I found them all but I tried.

I also want to thank whoever it was (sorry, I've been reading all 34 pages today) for suggesting the coffee table be removed for more room. I will definately have that done in December.
