That was great. I know a lot of work went into that. Well done!!!!

Uber X would be about $40-$45 to the port.

We were on the Magic this past June and I thought the musical entertainment was great. There was a great band in the Alchemy Bar. And a great duet (guy/girl) in the atrium everyday. The piano bar was always packed.

Agree with 10. We were on 12. It was a great room.

Yes, most of the affordable shopping is across the floating bridge. Not a far walk at all.

We were in that very same cabin 8363 on the 6/11 sailing. It was my first outside balcony. Loved it.

I would bet that the OP felt like many do that the item would never make it back to the original owner...like we hear most often happens. Cameras, IPads, jewelry, etc are never found. The owner calls Carnival and the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. Carnival is not going to seek out the owner. They will sit and wait for a call from the owner.

I applaud the OP for wanting to do more than Carnival would to find the rightful owner. Because otherwise that item is going to sit in some box in some storage closet in a Carnival office and never reach its owner.

I feel the OP had good intentions. And I will bet they will find the owner. Just my two cents.

Good to see reviews posted.

 

How far is Playa Lagun from Willemstad?

It is approximately 30-40 min if my memory serves me. It's toward the west end of the island.

A group of us stayed a week in Curacao last June. It was a fabulous week. We visited many beaches. My favorite was Playa Lagun. If you are able to get a taxi or rent a car I would highly recommend it.

The area is not big. But big enough. There are some lounge chairs that can be rented. There is a restaurant on top of the cliff. Great food. Drinks. Iguanas. Staff. We had the best time.

The snorkeling was awesome. Saw a sea turtle. Many locals were bringing in their small wooden boats with tons of local fish. It was just a great place to take in some culture with the locals and enjoy the beautiful scenery and the water.

Highly recommended!!!

We too were booked on Valor for 6/5/16 out of Miami. Now moving booking to Magic out of Port Canaveral for the 6/11/16 sailing with luckily the same itinerary. Less of a drive and newer/better ship. Totally happy with the change. And the $50 OBC for our troubles is nice too.

I have two questions about this cruise.

 

1) How often is CocoCay cancelled due to weather?

 

2) Do they ever switch up the menus on the 4 day cruise? I took this cruise in Feb 2014 and plan on taking it again in Nov 2015 and wonder if they will serve the same menu?

We were on EnOS on 12/05/14. We were the only cruise in 4 prior trips that was able to stop at Coco Cay. I heard that the next sailing after us wasn't able to stop. So I think it happens a lot this time of year. Not sure about other times of the year. Can't answer #2.

My experience on the Allure in April and Enchantment this month is if you book Chops for the first night of the cruise, you will get 20% off. Appears you may have been overcharged.

We were on Allure in April and all the food was great IMO except for the WJ. MDR was pretty good for the most part. Speciality restaurants were awesome. Out of 12 cruises the WJ food on this trip was the worst by far...just my opinion.

And here is a couple of pics of our view from 12329. Very last cabin next to aqua theatre control room. I loved this cabin. Just sayin.😊

We were on the port side on Allure in April. We backed in to each Eastern Caribbean port. We had a great view of each port from our boardwalk cabin.

My hubby and I did this excursion in April while sailing on Allure. It was awesome. We each got our own ATV. We had about 12-15 in our morning group.

We rode on the main road to Orient Beach. Nothing off road. But it was fun to drop back a little from the group and haul butt to catch up. It was a thrill.

I totally recommend the excursion.

#2 - Dawn Beach

 

 

A beach is a beach, right? Not exactly. This one was just the right combination of water temperature, waves, number of people, and sand consistency to be just right. Maybe that's the $1 beers talking, but I don't think so.

 

Drum roll, please....

 

#1 - Champagne Bar with Michele, Lucy, and Christophe®

 

 

I've long been a fan of the Champagne Bar and have always experienced great service there. So, it's no surprise to me that this ends up being #1. However, the crew here was really something special (perhaps in more ways than one, just kidding). That second picture is for Lucy (you had to be there).

Is this the Christopher you spoke of...

Great job. I know exactly your feeling of being home but wishing you were back on the ship being waited on. Getting back to reality really was unpleasant. Now just counting down the days till our Enchantment OTS trip in December.

Day 1 Boarding:

 

 

 

Our luggage did not fit under the bed (we both had 25" pieces) but we were able to stack them up in the closet bottom shelf and our tote bags easily fit under the bed.

 

I found a tip on CC in another review about luggage under the bed. If you open your bag and slide it under it will fit. We had two 29" bags that only fit because I opened them.

Thanks for writing a review. I know it's a big commitment of your time.

Hi Lynda. I have to respectfully disagree about the boardwalk being stuffy and uncomfortable. This has rarely been the case during my 3 Oasis class cruises.

 

Central Park is great but there have been times that there has been no breeze and it can get quite warm due to this area being closed off except for at top.

 

As for the crew party on the boardwalk, this is the first time I've heard of this happening

I completely agree with Bugsy. We had a boardwalk cabin the first week of April and we had a constant breeze when sailing.

I enjoyed being able to see the ocean and not paying the premium price for an OV balcony.

14321 is three back from the catwalk. I would think your view would still be pretty good. You will see the blue skies and ocean. And for that price, you really are getting a great deal. I would take it.

We are booked for room 11329 January 2016 far out but wanting to try one of these rooms

Gopher you will not be disappointed. It's a great location. You booked your trip just about as far out as we did. We wanted to pick our cabin. Have a great trip.
