Crusin' from Fl

Help me understand, you come to the port with your negative test, then they test you again at the port?  That's new, I know we didn't do that in August when we went and I know things are changing rapidly and daily.  We are fully vaccinated and boosted.  TIA

Disappointed to lose an evening at Ocean Cay but just grateful to have made it on the ship and time to enjoy that cruise life!!!

 

I'm on the Nov 11th Southern Caribbean. I will take pictures and post when I get back!

Ohhhh, thank you! Have fun too!

Yeah, James Van Fleet. He's the guy who kept telling RCI that there was a "window" for Liberty to dock in Galveston during hurricane Harvey last year. Thus, they didn't cancel the cruise until 11 AM the Sunday the cruise was to depart and the port had been closed since the previous Thursday. Dozens if not hundreds of people were stranded in hotels in the Houston area for days, some with no electricity or no water. Don't believe I'll depend on him for accurate hurricane information!

:eek:

I’d be interested too

We just booked cabin 9249, the cabin on the end. That cabin looks so awsome becouse you also have a Aft View from that cabin...��

So, how was it? Were you able to access the elevator that was closest to your room? I know this is an old thread but hoping you are still around.

Can magnets be used on the doors?

Just got of the Seaside this Saturday and there is no Aqua cycle class

I’m sad, thank you so much!

Since this is for Seaside questions...can anyone tell me if there are aqua cycle classes on Seaside? They were available on Divina and I can't find any information on the classes. Thank you!

I don't think that is there anymore, They have been removing them during the dry docks. All 5 of the Voyager class ships had them when first built. On Adventure, the most recent Voyager class ship to come out of dry dock (actaully wet dock the last time), they moved the starboard side part of the workout area to where the hot tub was, and used that starboard side area for new JS staterooms.

I was heart broken when we boarded Adventure after the refurb. Glad to hear Navigator still has it

Both the large spa and the spinning/yoga room are still present on the Navigator. We are enjoying the ship today.

Oh thank you...I hope there is not a refurb scheduled before Dec!

In the gym area, they used to have a huge Jacuzzi type pool...is it still there? It was unique to that class of ship and I notice that it's now missing from Adventure. TIA for checking that out and reporting back.

Since Adventure is a Voyager Class ship, does it also have the Jacuzzi in the middle of the spa? I love that on Navigator.

Thanks in advance!

No Luggage Valet in San Juan.

Thanks! I'll tell mom to pack light! LOL

I'm taking Adventure from Miami to PR. Do you know if luggage valet is available there? Thank you!

I wonder why Caribbean Princess is in #21 not in Princess' normal berth - 2?

 

Port Canaveral - Zuidy has prime spot but the camera has not moved from Mickey's ship and the Whale Tail - like they usually do when Royal Well, it will make it easier when the 3 ships depart to keep them all in view.

 

At Carib is sitting in that spot. Usually it's a 2-3 minute port area focus, then it moves to another area for same amount of time and usually a third area - depending on fullness of the port. Today with Zuidy there, once she arrived - very nice sail-in following camera, they seem to be ignoring her and only focussing on the two regular visitors. Oh well, I did get to see her sail-in.

They have tents set up at #2 prepping for the Boat Show. It starts Nov 1 I believe.

Each stateroom has a skinny mailbox (not magnetic) outside the hallway door on which you can tie a ribbon, balloon, streamer, etc. that you can see from the far end of the hallway.

that's helpful, thank you!

Oh my,,,,,I can already imagine what some folks are thinking. That on HAL, the passengers are so old they cannot remember where their cabin is located!

 

Hank

It can set in at any age.baaahaaaabaaahaaa!

You can always tape a note to your door.:D

If I have to resort to the note, it will read...I MADE IT!

The last ship I was on, Zuiderdam, did not have doors that I could magnets on.

Can anyone tell me if the newer ships, specifically the Nieuw Amsterdam does?

I usually put a few magnets on the door so I can find my way home at night, yes, even on HAL.

Thank you in advance for any replies.

Sorry we're not great people to ask about shows. There are 3 of us in our cabin and only 1 of us has been to 1 show. We like our balcony too much. The little my friends have seen in the lounges they feel is too loud. They do like the adagio strings in the explorers lounge but it's very cold there. Apparently they're doing a major overhaul of the entertainment venues at their dry dock in December.

Yes, I hear they will make changes soon. Thank you! I think all shows are loud!

We were just off NA last week and it was very good and a nice experience. To us, much better than LeCirque.

 

Our only “complaint” was that they don’t serve the entire menu from Sel de Mer on Koningsdam. This is their own concept restaurant, so we thought the menu would be the same everywhere, but the pop-up was missing a few things (and they just happened to be things that we really enjoyed). If you’ve never eaten there on Koningsdam, you won’t know what you’re missing, so that shouldn’t matter.

 

Happy sailing...and more importantly, happy eating!!

How is the entertainment been. Looking forward to boarding at the end of the month. Love going to the shows!

Thank you all so much for you input. We are now really looking forward to Rudi's. Looking at the wonderful photos made us both hungry!

Happy crusin' to all of you.

I'm looking forward to it too! On NA for Halloween.

I'm not much of a "lay around the spa person", but I LOVE the spas on HAL.

Mom & I get it every time and use it daily, at least once. The heated beds are delightful and knock me out every time.

This is well worth the cost!
