Totally annoying.  I'm going next year on the Harmony.  3 in the room.  2 of us drink and the 3rd doesn't. 

If I must pick just one, it's simple. Bahama Mama. It was the first drink I tried on my very first cruise AGES ago and I've been hooked since.

I prefer on the rocks over frozen, but the lava flows (or lava colada) are amazing and I did enjoy a lovely frozen mojito by the pool when we went on Allure last year.

For a martini, the key lime pie one is a must.

We went on Independence in 2015 and Allure in 2016. I loved both, but the size and enormous amount of things to do on Oasis Class is hard to turn down. We are sailing on Oasis in 3 weeks. Can't wait! The one thing I preferred on IOTS was the Windjammer. I felt the set up/layout was better. It felt less crowded. The Solarium on the Oasis Class compares to no other. It's unbelievable.

I didn't think it fell too crowded, except when we first boarded. Everyone was out and about and eating!

We went there last May on the Independence. Went to Cockleshell Beach. Had a great time. There are loungers to rent. Food and drinks on site. Took a nice cab ride over from port. About 15 minutes? Maybe a little longer. We drove with a bunch of other passengers. More like a small bus ride. When you get off the ship and head outside to the shops, you'll see a bunch of cab drivers standing around with notebooks with photos of local beaches they can take you to.

Does the cove have many activities? I have 13 year old twins and we are going there in a few weeks. We're not necessarily looking for a quiet tranquil spot, but would welcome it if there were activities for the kids. Any banana boat rides?

The Hilton Marina has a nice restaurant that serves a breakfast buffet. It's a stones throw from the port. We stayed there last year and will be staying there in a few weeks.

There's a restaurant inside the Hilton Marina that offers breakfast buffet. Open 7-11:30. Waterway.

We're leaving on the Allure on 5/1 and staying overnight at the Hilton Marina. I know there are a few restaurants on site, but looking for quick service restaurants within walking distance for lunch/breakfast. We'll likely eat on site for dinner. We stayed there last year for one night prior to leaving on our cruise but got there late and didn't have much time to look around for anything. This time, we'll be arriving early.

We are going on her in a few weeks. We only planned on dining room for 2 nights and we waited too long to book. We ended up with 7:45 and 8:15 rather than 7 p.m. like we had hoped. I think we booked the times about 60 days out. I think if you make your reservations at 90 days, you'll be o.k.

Last year we were on the Independence and had a similar experience. Apparently, I forgot.

Well whaddaya know. If you look at the symbol you can tell what the cabin includes. Haha! Turns out only a sofa bed. That's fine. We are doing the beverage package. :)

Going on Allure in a few weeks. 2 adults and 2 12 year olds in one inside cabin. Any clue where the bunk is located and how the room might be situated? I haven't been able to find any photos.
