Thank you :)

Thank you to everyone that will be sharing all your pics and videos from your cruise on AOS..

I am curious about the excursions on this cruise, so if anyone has any tips, I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Besides all the water slides and water activities at Atlantis in the Bahamas, is there anything else to do there?. The rest of the crew will be joining in on all the water sports in Atlantis, which I am not really in to, so debating if I want to even go there with them.

My family and I cruise in July.. Can't wait!

(y) Have Fun!

Sailing in April - been counting the days since last May. It's our first RC cruise, so refurb or not, it'll be new to us.

Enjoy your cruise :) I'm sure that it was a beautiful ship even before her refurb. I checked out several youtube videos from people that have cruised on her, and the ship is gorgeous anyway!

They usually don't change all carpet, curtains, furniture during Dry Dock unless worn or extremely outdated, that's usually done year round on case by case basis. Brilliance/Serenade still has original furniture and are same age as Adventure...

I read an article online that it would only be inside and ocean view cabins that will be completely upgraded with new, but when I spoke to a Royal Caribbean representative, she said that ALL the cabins will be getting new furniture, carpets, curtains, etc. :D I hope so.

We are also sailing on her in May. Loved the Explorer so we are hoping for a similar experience!

Thank You! Any pics you can post would be great! :)

I am going on the first sailing after drydock, February 12-17, and following the cruise, I will start a thread where I will post not only pictures, but also my videos. Stay tuned, Robert

That's awesome Robert. Thank You! Looking forward to it..

We will be staying in the promenade interior if you can get a pic of that too. It would be greatly appreciated.:)

I am hearing that the Adventure of the Seas has been in drydock getting a complete renovation, and will be returning to sea very soon.

I also heard that all the cabins will have new furniture, carpets and curtains.

If anyone is cruising on the AOS after it comes out of drydock, can you please share pics of the cabins..etc?

We will be cruising on AOS in May, and I am getting really excited about it. :D

We cruised on her "sister" ship Explorer 3 times and loved it, so I am sure we are going to love the AOS too!

Many thanks in advance. :D

Wow! You people are ruthless. You were not there and have no idea how bad it was. I was not there either but it appears to have been very scary and unpleasant. If the captain could have avoided it he should have. They were lucky. If the ship had sunk at sea you all would be screaming that NCL was horrible to decide to try to ride the storm out.

I have to TOTALLY agree with you on this one...

Unless one has not walked in their shoes, one should not bash those on that cruise ship. I have had 10 SMOOTH sailing cruises. I was fortunate.

I looked at the RCCL website and saw cruises on the Empress of the Seas. However, I do not see any forums for that ship on the cruise critic website. Has any cruise critics sailed on this ship? If so, please share your thoughts. Thanks in advance. :)

We cruised on that ship in 2001. It's nice to hear it's making a comeback. As far as I knew, they permanently docked it. :) I remember it being a smaller ship than the ship's today, but it was still very nice.

My main camera is an older DSLR, Canon T2i, I also use a Canon S95 (point and shoot) and an Olympus TG-4 (waterproof). Most pictures don't look great right out of the camera, shooting in a RAW format and adjusting the levels with a program like Lightroom is key.

 

I love GSC, it's my favorite stop. To avoid the lines, try to get on one of the first tenders either by booking an excursion or reserving your tender ticket as soon as possible. If you leave the island by around 3 you shouldn't have much of a line getting back to the ship.

Thanks for the info. Beautiful pics of you and your wife. All of your pictures are really amazing.

Thanks for the tips about tendering on GSC too. :)

I have read some negative things about the tendering for Great Stirrip Cay...and looking at your pic of the long lines there, do you think it was worth the time to get off the ship?

I am contemplating if I should even get off the ship that day.

Would love to hear your opinion on that. Thanks.

Thank you so much for sharing your great review and awesome pics. I am so looking forward to my upcoming cruise on the Breakaway...and can't wait to check out the vibe to relax.

What type camera did you use? Your pics are perfect. :)

not sure that's an inside cabin :confused: very nice tho

Yes, that is a Family Oceanview. It looks pretty roomy. I had it booked, but then decided on a MS with Large Balcony. :D

The website states:

Regular inside cabin Deck 5= 161 Sq Ft

Family Ocean View with Large picture window = 218 Sq. Ft.

Family Balcony = 207 Sq. Ft.

Large Balcony 245 Sq. Ft.

I hope this helps :D

This is the Family Oceanview on Deck 5...from the website. It looks pretty big. If my memory serves me right, this room is larger than the balcony room.

Outstanding rescue video.

That is amazing how precise they are. Thanks for posting the video.

I hope the woman that was airlifted is okay.

Good Morning :)

Is there anyone here that is on the Liberty of The Seas now? Just wondering if the seas are calm. One of my family members is on the ship, and I am a bit concerned. I am so glad they re-routed to Canada.

Will it be a round trip cruise to Canada, or are they all flying back from Canada to NY?

Thank you in advance for any info.

Hi!

How do you get one of those rewards cards? I am an AARP member.

Thanks

What itinerary are you doing? If it's the Florida and Bahamas with Great Stirrup Cay, try the link below my signature. :D

Fantastic!

I enjoyed your review, and your pictures too. Thank you for sharing it.

I am still not sure of the itinerary yet...probably Fla/Bahamas.

check this thread http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2010098

Excellent! Thank you so much for sharing that thread. It will be a big help.

Have a great night. :D

On that cruise. Fantastic meet & greet. Thanks for all your hard work.. We enjoyed the cruise... We did have a few comments. We were on the 14 deck. The first three night there was banging and sliding of furniture. We finally decided to call about it . They asked us to call when it happened we did, it got resolved. I also ate most night in the main dining rooms. I felt they cut back on staff . No personal touch. The staff is so busy. No time for into action. I always like to talk to the waiters. Like to joke around, ask about their family. It seems the wait staff now does it all. We also saw the head waiter helping to clear table. At times we waited a bit to be served. Felt for the wait staff. Not the same issue in paying restaurants. I also felt the balconies were quite small. We did have a great time.

Sliding of furniture? Now, I am really concerned about cruising on this ship. The person I am traveling with gets motion sickness of even being in a car. This will be her first cruise.

What deck do you think has the least feeling of motion? Is it the higher up you go on deck, the more the motion?

Thank you for your help.

Thanks a million Robin - what a great review! I share your enthusiasm for this fabulous ship...and I'm sorry that the motion affected you. I never felt it :o...but I'm lucky that way, & not everyone is. I think you did a fantastic job at the Meet & Greet & I appreciated your (quite obvious) hard work. Boo Hiss to the moaners...shame on them!

May I please ask you what cabin that you were in? I have been reading the other reviews on this thread about alot of movement, and am concerned about that.

Thanks :D

Hello All,

Does anyone have the Daily Activity Sheets that they can share here for The Norwegian Breakaway Ship?

Will be cruising on The Breakaway this year, and would just like to get an idea of things they offer. Both Free and Pay.

The ship looks beautiful...and it will be the largest ship I have sailed on.

I would appreciate any info that you can give me.

Thank you! :D
