I was having trouble sleeping and playing around online and found my old thread and wanted to update for anyone interested

Since this post I've hired personal trainers onboard three times

For the April 2014 Indy cruise I had a lovely young girl from India who worked on boxing and cardio with me

For my dec 2014 serenade cruise I hired Fernando who did strength training and tabata with me

For my April 2015 celebrity silhouette cruise I hired Mario who did strength with me

They were all very knowledgeable friendly and dedicated

I plan to hire a trainer this dec 2015 on the jewel

In terms of fees and booking, I'd wait till your onboard as they will usually offer you a deal, like buy three sessions get one, etc

St Maarten- soualiga boat trip for awesome snorkeling

St. Kitts- stay on the ship and enjoy the empty pool! Will never get off there again. Destitute area with no redeeming qualities

how much would a taxi be for 3-4 people? are there taxis for the return trip?

thanks!

Last time we went on a cruise the shore excursions tended to be early morning. That put some strain on our day over all do to we were up late. I cought some fleck from the group, so this time I made our excursions later in the day. This excursion shows high marks from others that have done this.

Thanks! I ended up booking just to have the reservation

figure I can always cancel

I don't see one for 8;30?

TIME 12:45 PM - 4:30 PM

Secret Sands Beach Exclusive And Skyline Drive

CHARLOTTE AMALIE, ST. THOMAS

DAY 4 02 Dec 2015

Is this the one or am I missing what you are asking?

we are on the dec 20 jewel sailing and it shows an 830 and a 1245

my kid are tweens and very fickle so they may not even want to get off the ship so I'm thinking of just walking off and grabbing a cab

they offer excursion times at 830 and 1245- is there an advantage/disadvantage of one versus the other?

By any chance was it the independence? We had a very similar bad experience there. My mother is very unstable when she walks and I need to be next to her at all times. She contacted RcCl who gave her approval for me (at the time I was not yet diamond, now I am) to accompany her to the diamond lounge. We had it in writing. The diamond concierge was very rude about it and didn't want to accept the approval but finally begrudgingly did

You'd think we were trying to enter the White House residence.

embarking on serenade in 10 days. now that our twin boys are 13 we booked two connecting balcony cabins. will we be able to have both cabin keys on one sea pass or will we need to get two? or can we leave the connecting door unlocked so we can enter through one cabin to get to the other?

thanks

My only point of advice is keep in mind if 2 people book a guarantee there's a strong possibility it will be a cabin that only accommodates 2

We are getting a free specialty meal with our booking- does anyone know if my 12 yr olds still need to order off kids menu if we r not paying ?

Just to finish, using the soda pack, during meals (Windjammer/MDR) do they refill the glass for us, and bring to the table as needed, or we must walk to the fountain and do that ourselves?

In the MDR most attentive servers will keep your drink refilled

In the windjammer servers come around and if they don't ask if you'd like a refill you can request one and just show them your sea pass decal

Thank you! I usually prefer cans, but I have no problems about fountais. Do they refill it as needed, with no need to go to the fountain?

 

About dinner, I think I forgot to ask: Is soda included DURING the dinner? (if no pack purchased)

 

(I know there is the water/tea/lemonade option for free)

without a package, soda is always an extra cost, mealtimes or not

for a refill you can just go to any bar or server and show your seapass with the soda decal and they will give you your soda. not every ship has the self serve dispensers for soda

When I did the math, if you drink at least 3 sodas a day you save money with the package versus buying a la carte.

keep in mind when you use your package you get soda from the "gun" dispenser (about half a can worth), whereas when you buy a soda you get the whole can. so technically you'd need to order 6 sodas on the package to equal 3 cans, before you'd break even

Note to picky eaters: there were chopped onions in the hamburger meat. Mozzarella sticks were great - they did not taste frozen. Not sure what the sauce was - it is on the side.

Were there any low fat/low carb options? Fresh veggies?

Thanks!

Do they supply towels?

Hope I haven't messed up :(

 

I just remembered today that I hadn't booked DH the soda package. We sail Sunday so it's too late to book online.

 

Will he be able to get it onboard? Will it be the same price?

 

He won't be impressed that I forgot !

You can definitely book onboard

Does serenade have freestyle?

Thx

You'd have time for lunch and a haircut and easily make 1210

Sorry if this has been asked but will my children (since they share my status) get any free drinks (nonalcoholic of course) loaded on their cards?

trying to decide between island marketing buccaneer tour, nativeway rum/reef, and acquarius snorkeling trip

2 teens and dad and mom who are weak swimmers

please help us decide which!

we are booked in the ben and jerry suite on the 6 nite indy sailing next apr. does anyone know if, along with concierge lounge access, we would also have first dibs on labadee cabanas?

thanks!!

I usually prefer the night before, but due to work and school obligations have to fly in tomorrow AM for my cruise tomorrow

But in nice weather I think a short flight into orlando is a safe bet same day

sent conceriege 4 emails - never heard back - got on board, no cabanas left - she did not get my emails - I did not get hers at 3 different emails (sister & daughter) - she claimed I was at fault - what to do? wound up with clamshells on barefoot beach. great day. Catrina was not a great conceriege

letters - EN_ - use small letters - en_conceriege@rccl

Do not use capital

it could be because it's spelled "concierge" rather than "conceriege"

Love my packing cubes! Ebags dot com! The cubes allow me to compartmentalize and either use only 1 suitcase or only carry ons for our family of 4
