If you actually read the travel advisory.. you would see this "Labadee, a port near Cap Haitien in the north - only accessible by cruise ship passengers - has private security and lower rates of reported crime. Travelers should exercise heightened precautions,however, due to increasing insecurity nationwide."

Those rooms have a little 5+ symbol

So... are you saying that 8300 is a non-pullout couch and 8304 is a pullout? Or is there a reason why one is 3 and one is 4? 2 different travel agency websites claim the * rooms as having a pullman

I believe those are for private lessons and cost extra

Can someone explain to me how the pullman beds in the ocean balcony rooms work? Are there 2 or just 1? I am trying to figure out why when I put 4 in a room is gives me rooms with pullmans and when I put 3 it gives me a pull out couch. Can you not fit 2 on the couch? Why are those considered 3 person rooms? If there are 2 pullmans in those rooms, I assume one is over the couch, where is the other? Or do they expect person 4 to sleep on a non-pulled out couch?

whoa you've uncovered the great half and half conspiracy!! You must work for the Boston Globe or something. Can't wait to see this as the sequel to Spotlight. Who should star as you in the movie?

If you're doing a cruise ship for over a month, it means you can't book an actual comedy club because you're not that funny... or you just really like cruising

Looks like there is a waitlist.... to pay 3x as much. Even a Grand suite would be a better deal at only 2x as much

children are 1.5, 5, 7 ... they dont take up too much space

I assume this is the same size cabin as the neighboring cabins and you just squeeze in a little tighter?

When a room has this symbol it says it can fit 5 people. This is a boardwalk balcony, does anyone know what the configuration is? Is this a twin bed, pullman and pullout couch (2+1+2)?

Bayonne is in NJ. Royal does not sail from NYC

I feel like most crew would take that day to sleep

pretty sure that when the ships are gone the employees who live there can use any beach they want

Every time one of you posts something like "i gave them candy and it was so appreciated" ... what do you think they would do? Throw it back in your face in disgust if they don't like it? Chances are to your face they thank you and put on a big smile then they leave your room and half of that goes in the trash or they leave it in a communal place to see if anyone else is interested. Just give them cash if you want to give them something special. The appreciation for that at least is real

The schedule for the July 14th sailing is still in not set in stone... why would anyone think that 3 months away would be set?

But if the timing is 5/730 then don't they give away the table at 515?

I can't help it... 46 weeks away and my mind wanders haha... Last week I was second guessing my dining times. Basically, I noticed on cruise compasses from the Oasis out of Bayonne with this same itinerary have a 5/730 MDR in May and I look at the app and sure enough that's today's schedule but next week's sailing says 530/8... but when I checked last week this week's sailing on the app said 530/8 as well so why is this now earlier? I want the traditional dining with the same waiters/table but 5 is too early and 8 is too late. I could probably deal with 530 or 730, but there seems to be no consistency on the app here. So now I question do I risk a 5pm dining but garuntee a freed up evening for entertainment, or do i risk an 8pm dining and basically kill the evening. Choices choices... I would say I wish I booked closer to the sailing so I would have less time to fret, but the price today is more than 50% more than when I booked haha

I'm mostly curious bc the positioning of where on deck 14 should matter. There is an area on the pool deck where they stack chairs, I would assume that area gets a lot of scraping. But an area like under the mini golf would probably be pretty silent. I was basically looking for first hand accounts in this specific area I posted about

well the real concern is while they are cleaning/setting up the deck early in the morning

Oh you're booked under an actual pool that might have people moving around during sleeping hours... I'll check back in after your August sailing to see how it was

I am currently booked with 2 cabins for a future sailing on SotS. I grabbed up 14629/31 due to 14629 having the extended balcony and I figured with me and my friends we could enjoy the extra balcony space and make it a "triple balcony." These were the only 2 neighboring rooms with this configuration available at the time of booking. I have sailed on SotS deck 14 before, but during the limited capacity covid sailings with very little entertainment so I fear my previous experience might have painted too rosy a picture on the noise levels of the cabins. My previous cabin was basically under the hot tub next to the beach pool and I do not recall any "chair scraping" but perhaps this was a product of the timing and population of that sailing. So these are the best pictures I could find online with my situation. The top picture being the balcony from the side and the bottom pictures showing what's above. The splash park is obviously closed all night and from what I can tell, doesn't open until 10am. Has anyone stayed in these cabins, or at least in cabins directly below the splash park. Do these cabins suffer from the same type of chair scraping in the early morning/at night as the areas near the pools with more chairs. Would I be foolish to not change my cabin to a lower deck?

I kinda wanna see this

cool... so working as intended as it's been doing for many years. Got it

Thanks, i looked on the app at a bunch of ships and couldn't find it on the schedule.
