    I just go for the free drinks and nibbles but... I already have the beverage package so one has to wonder...       Used to be they had a band and it was less a sales pitch and more a social event. Not sure I'll go on my upcoming cruise but maybeeee...

     

    Well, if you go and it's at a decent time (not during our pub crawl, LOL) then Hubby, the in-laws and I will probably be there.  On our cruise in February they had a special drink that you couldn't get anywhere else the rest of the week that was really good!  I think we each had 3 of them....

  2. 10 of us Leaving on 2/18 on the Dawn for the Western Caribbean - we are soooo looking forward to warmer weather ! First time on the Dawn . . . I appreciate all of the comments - definitely need to visit Los Lobos - is that reservation only? Can anyone tell us what kind of beer they have on board ??? Dos Equix?

    11 of us on that cruise as well, been copying this whole thread, very helpful!

  3. Cruise

    Gratuity

    Parking — all paid for.

     

    $2700 is what is left.

     

    We have UBP.

     

    Haven’t paid for excursions but thinking 2 jet skis at GSC and taxi to Melia for Day pass in Nassau. Friends we are traveling with booked private cabana on GSC.

     

    I’m bringing our own snorkel gear.

     

    After reading responses, will not do dining plan. May consider spa treatment for me instead ;)

    We got the cabana and that was the best deal of the first cruise for us. Got I think 4 sets of snorkel gear and brought our own from home. Son and I were out and had a ray swim right under us. Loved the drinks and the lunch that came with our lunch. So nice to not have to worry about our seats being taken while out playing on the island.

  4. Did you kiddos like the kid programs? Entourage? My boys are 16 and 13 and my 16 yo doesn’t want to go!

     

    I have 4 kiddos and we are going on their 3rd cruise in 3 years. They LOVE entourage and the friends they made there, when they first went, they had some issues with the "older" kids, but since they had their siblings they just ignored them and pretty soon others followed their lead and the "problem" kids settled down and all was well after the 2nd day. This cruise we are including my daughter's boyfriend, should be interesting as those 2 are adults now and my boys will be 17, 15 and 15 when we cruise. Lots for them to do on board. Our last cruise had a cake decorating contest, ceramic painting, and the kids got to play bingo for free, so one paying adult and the kids played free. One of their teen club friends won their family a free cruise. Scavenger hunt night was interesting.

     

    Hope he has fun, and he has his brother with him, shop maybe that will help?

  5. We LOVED the float boats as a fun little diversion upon arrival. We're returning in a few weeks, and will likely rent again with the kids. Go to the 6min mark in this video:

    Thank you for your video, very informative! Beautifully done!

    No Margaritaville. There's a place called the Landshark Bar & Grill.

     

    Also to the OP, you didn't mention what ship you were on, but wasn't O'Sheehans an option for lunch on board?
