Ya, it looks like they are going to start in July 2024:

 

Actually the Radiance OTS is sailing 9 nights to Key West, CocoCay, Freeport, Nassau, and Bimini later this month (I’ve had it booked nearly a year 🙂 ) and in March too.

Does anyone have a favorite Main Dining room Deck?

I sailed on Adventure OTS a month apart this past spring. First cruise was on the lower level. The second cruise was on the second level and I preferred the second level. Interestingly the cabins we were in were only four rooms apart. So it doesn’t seem like room assignment and table assignment are based together.

Full Broadway shows have only been on some oasis and quantum class ships, though at one point in the distant past I seem to remember seeing Saturday Night Fever on Liberty. 

Saw Saturday Night Fever on Liberty in 2017.

Thank you all for the information on Coco Cay and alternate ports out of Galveston.  Interestingly, I had read a post about Coco Cay and stopped by Next Cruise...none of the printed itineraries had been updated yet and the gentleman there I talked to was not aware of any alternate ports yet.  But great to know they're out there now.

We are on Radiance OTS next month on a 9 night Key West/Coco Cay/3 other Bahamas itinerary. It’s sailing the same once in March. I’m excited that they will be doing more and a larger ship in 2024. Though I like the smaller ships. 

We were on the adventure OTS out of Galveston in February (5night) and April (4night). Only the 5 night had lobster.

So I am now in trouble with my husband!  I was finally able to get into the website/cruise planner to order (at 4:10 pm Pacific time).  However, I had the same problem many discussed before regarding it saying that they couldn't charge your card and to try another card.  So I did and received the same message 4 times...  My husband comes into the office and asks me why we have 4 charges pending to RCI. Ick!

Great fun!  So don't click the "charge your card" button more than once, even if it says that it didn't take your card.  (Hopefully, I should be able to remove those charges eventually).

Yep. I’ve been double charged, but the items are still in the cart. 

Sailed 5 nights in March and 4 nights in April out of Galveston on Adventure OTS. Had lobster on the 5 night but not the 4. I asked our server and he said there wasn’t a lobster night on 4 night sailing.

I've never heard of quarantine decks on a Disney cruise.  

 

I think the cruise has a few things against it.  Kids are in school, adult cruisers tend to not have Disney on top of their list, it's not the cheapest and of course hurricane season in the Atlantic.  

 

We are on the Oct 26 cruise and if I booked today my price would be more.

We got moved on our Wonder Merrytime cruise from our selected ocean view on 2 because that area I picked was saved for quarantine. I did not like where they moved us (in relation to our adult kids) - so I upgraded to a balcony. I probably would have kept it, but my MIL was backing out of the trip, so I was already adjusting the reservation. 

• Animation Magic (available on 7-night and longer sailings on the Disney Magic) 
  Try your hand at drawing your very own character—and then watch in wonder as your creation becomes part of the show, dancing alongside some classic Disney characters. You won't believe your eyes!

I have seen a couple post COVID YouTube videos that seem to show this happening  on 5-night sailings. But the website indicates 7 or longer. Anyone have recent experiences on the magic?

I’m sorry you had a sub-par experience on Adventure. I sailed on her 5 nights on March and then again 4 nights in April. We were very pleased with the MDR, especially on the April cruise. The wait staff was superb. I do think they were close to taking a break and going back to see their families in India. 
 

We were pleased with the size of the ship and the ease to get around. I think I actually prefer her to Liberty’s layout. 
 

The two 5 day I’ve been on were pretty laid back. Not a crazy party. 

So interesting how frequently older ships need painting and care. I sailed on Adventure in March and April about a month apart. Both Junior Suites on deck 9 starboard. Maybe 8 rooms apart. The first balcony had a few minor rust spots. The balcony in our room a few weeks later was freshly painted.

Sorry, OB, I have to disagree with you here.

 

I've sailed eight times since the restart on five different ships.  Each time, they have made announcements as the day progressed..."half of the passengers haven't yet done the safety briefing"... "70% of passengers have completed the safety briefing".... "we still need 65 people to complete the safety briefing".... "will Passenger Firstname Lastname and Passenger Firstname2 Lastname2 please make yourself known to any staff member immediately"... and then finally, the Captain comes on and thanks everyone for completing the safety briefing.

The Captain also states that the ship's emergency signal will immediately follow his announcement, and it does.  

Note that the ship's emergency signal is DIFFERENT than the ship's horn.  The emergency signal plays over the announcements, not just the horn out the top of the ship.

I’m with you on this. I’ve sailed Royal twice this year. The safety drill was super easy online - but they definitely also did the emergency signal live too. 

Avoid the beef stroganoff- it is some sort of unrecognizable fettuccini concoction. There are photos in this thread. It’s not inedible - it’s just not at all recognizable as what we know as stroganoff in the US.  

Wait? When did the get rid of the trays? I was on Adventure twice this spring. And we took trays every morning outside to eat on deck. 
 

edited to add: now you have me questioning if I used trays. I think I did….

I haven't seen it make an appearance in the cruise planner since the restart after Covid.  

I’m hopeful that it will be offered on or 9 night cruise in February. It’s on the website in the things to do section.  I had not seen it before. 

Thanks for the info. Is it something that pops up in the planner ahead of time? We are booked on a 9 Night cruise on The Radiance in February. 

Has anyone done this activity? It sounds interesting to me. I guess it is only offered on 7 day or longer cruises and is held in a specialty restaurant.

We are sailing March 20th. Hope we make both stops. Wife will not be pleased, otherwise.

Did your cruise happen or was in cancelled due to COVID?

We did have a great time @DEBCAT65 It was our 20th Anniversary trip/first trip without kids!

I did meet multiple people really upset about not being able to catamaran snorkel on Cozumel (and not finding out until the 10:45am meet time - when it was too late to figure something else out).

It was VERY disappointing to be so close to Costa Maya - only to be turned away for the reason we were given. I get medical emergencies etc- but another ship taking the spot?

And then the speed used to reach Cozumel that evening made conditions on deck not ideal for pool use/ lounging. 

Any idea why a Carnival ship was blocking Enchantment’s arrival at Costa Maya today? Enchantment is skipping the port and heading to overnight in Cozumel. 

I would just have the kids do it. My husband did it with our kids. I don't think all of the cupcakes ended up getting eaten . They made a dog or cat that was multiple cupcakes.
