Can anyone confirm if there is smoking in the casino on cruises leaving from the UK? According to RC website, cruises from here do not allow smoking inside. I do not want to start any debate between smokers and not smokers.. I just would like to know if smoking is allowed in the casino or not, on the Explorer of the Seas leaving Southampton.

TIA.

We are on an Adriatic cruise, leaving from Venice, stopping at Croatia, Montenegro, and Greece. From what I can tell, our two stops in Greece are an hour ahead in time than the other ports. So does anyone know if the arrival and departure times for those ports in Greece local or ship time? We have a private excursion booked and now I am second guessing the times we booked. Thanks in advance!

Thanks so much... I should have said the cruise from Venice to Croatia, Montenegro, Santorini and Katakolon... perhaps that makes a difference on if it was available or not. I really hope our cruise does offer self departure!

Hi! We are on the Rhapsody of the Seas, RT from Venice in October. I have read conflicting reviews about self departure.... is this option available when we arrive back in Venice to disembark? We prefer to keep our suitcases and walk off with them ourselves in the morning. I have read some people have done this and others say it isn't an option. Can anyone confirm this, who have been there recently?

Thanks!

We were in the 2bed Aqua Theater cabin on the Oasis just this past November and it was FANTASTIC. The one bedroom is definitely smaller than the master bed, but with all the benefits of the Genie and being Star class, it was worth the smaller room. And the living room and balcony made up for it. I would highly recommend going with star class and the luxury of a genie. But be warned... it will ruin you for any future cruises, as you will want to continue to book this class of cabin.

We had the 2 Bed ATS 2 months ago... now, we were all adults, and in my opinion would upgrade to the Royal Loft if we had the chance.. BUT... with children, I would stay with the Aqua Theatre suite. Yes, it is not as fancy as the RL, but the balcony makes up for it. We watched all the aqua theater shows, belly flop contest and even the movies from our balcony, without having to deal with the crowds, or getting there early to grab a good seat. And the view from the balcony was better than any of the seats down below. We did love the balcony of the ATS as it was private, and offered views on the side as well as the back of the ship. You could even see over to the otherside of ship, so when coming into port, or docked at port, you could see all around. But again, if fancy interior is more important, then the Royal Loft is better. But if you like views and to be outside, the Aqua Theatre is the one to pick!!

Did anyone ever go on the fishing excursion in Labadee? Very hard to find any information or reviews on it and prefer to know a little more about it before we book. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone been on the Labadee Fishing Excursion Royal Caribbean offers? If so, we would love to hear about it and if it was worth the money. Thanks in advance!

Hi! Hopefully someone could answer a couple questions for me regarding Oasis of the Seas 2-bedroom Aqua theater cabins:

1) Is there more then one safe, or is the only one in the larger bedroom closet?

2) Is there more than one hair dryer supplied?

3) Does each bedroom have its own air conditioner controls?

Thanks so much for any information!

Thanks everyone! I will take your advice and the 3 of us will check in online, show up and enjoy the cruise. If asked at check in, we will say our 4th is travelling on her own. The less we say the better. :)

We have tried to find a replacement, but so far that is not an option.

We are 4 friends travelling together and we booked 2 connecting balcony cabins. We are sailing at the end of July, and one of us just found out that she can't go on the cruise due to some personal/work commitments. We aren't worry about refunds or cancellation insurance but wondered the best way to handle her reservation. Does she still do the online check in, and just not show up, or just do nothing? We don't want any issues with the rooms, and want to keep them connecting and on the deck we chose. Is there any harm in not doing the online checkin or will that cause red flags? The RC website that online check in is required 3 days prior to sailing. Thanks.
