Is there a craps table in the non-smoking casino, or is it just slots/tables (Oasis class ships, Symphony specifically)?

Yeah. I did my OW cert with them. They're scubadelphia now which isn't exactly down the street from me.

Thanks. Good info. I was wondering if I would be able to dive with him while he did the discovery dive. I'm guessing I would, but only if I signed up for a discovery dive as well.

Thanks. I was unsure about Coz for discover since it seems like a lot of drift diving. Wasn't sure if that's a good option for a first timer.

What are your thoughts on Jamaica?

Thanks for the link. He would want to try diving before committing to full blown certification. Unfortunately there are really no dive shops near me...probably an hour away. The one I used closed up. If we ended up doing a cruise (instead of just going to an island), I would look to see if they had a cruise ship excursion for discover scuba and likely sign him up for that.

Thanks Harris. This info is awesome! What's the reasoning behind not including St Thomas?

Looking for recommendations regarding a destination for my teen son to try discover scuba. Is there an island/destination that's "better" for discover scuba? I'm OW certified and did my discover scuba in Aruba through RC excursion. We don't have any cruises booked, so not limited to certain destinations. Thanks!

Just off Symphony a few weeks ago. Don't remember seeing an elevator.

Thanks. Definitely good to know. Trying to determine if 11:30 flight out of BCN is ok timing wise.

Anyone know if it's just MDR, or did they change/modify Coastal Kitchen menu along the same lines as well? If I remember, CK, also had the classics as an option. Thanks!

Cruising in July 2023. Can we make an 11:30am flight out of BCN to US (through Lisbon)? Ship docks at 5am and we'll walk off with our luggage. And how does customs work when getting off the ship in Barcelona? How long does that take? Only done cruises out of US to this point. Thanks!

One of the caveats to price drops is that your room category still has to be available for booking otherwise there's nothing to price match against. We're in one of the suites on Symphony and we can't price match b/c they're all booked already, so we're stuck.

The seafood skewer was the best. Will be on Symphony this summer and be curious as to how many times the new version of the menu changes between now and then...

Yeah this is my concern (being in NJ). If they end up putting Odyssey and Utopia here, cost will be insanely high.
