Does the Aruea or Fan package include specialty  dining?

I found some on here.  I guess I will just wing it!

Hello all, we are cruising with RC and our return flight is not till 3pm. 

We only have carry on luggage. 

Is there anything to walk to near by to kill an hour or two before we head to the airport?

Sitting on my balcony in a junior suite on deck 9 having breakfast on the Adventure (we are in Nassau).

 

Casino sent up two bottles of wine this morning as well (watched the NFL games there last night while playing slots) we closed her down around 2:30 AM.

 

Ship is clean, food is the same as on every other RCL ship. MDR not to my taste so we use specialty venues. Internet is super-fast, staff is friendly. Not sure what you are hearing about Casino, my only observation is that the aisles are tight. I manage to make it through in an electric wheelchair so able-bodied folks should be able to do the same.

 

Would I have brought my kids on her back in the day, probably not as they would have been bored. It is just as good as any other ship for us. If it helps, we are both Masters in the casino, we are 2 cruises from pinnacle on RCL but we also travel on Disney, NCL, X and MSC and have high status on all of the other lines as well.

 

We get off of the adventure this week and hop on the Mariner the week after...

 

Kids would be bored?  We sail on Friday - and picked this based on all the things for kids, I am curious about your thoughts.  Last we sailed Celebrity, def not a kids cruise.

I was just offered one last week for a Med cruise in September.  It was $53 per day. I nabbed it!  You almost have to check every day. It was only there for a couple days. And it was called “senior savings”.  

Did you see it on the app?  Or online?

Any 'seniors' discounts on drink packages?

Only if you allow it

Yes, understood.  We are looking at the option and ways to make it safe in our mind for our family to consider it.

AirTags really are useless on the ship

Additionally airtags are an apple thing - not everyone has apple products.  

Thanks all!!  Just looking at our options.  Kids will be in the club or with us.  We were more looking at options for when they are at the club and want to leave earlier than the original plan.  I have read that my 10 year old can sign himself out. 

 I have looked into this a little more - looks like its a NCL thing and other cruise lines absorb the cost in the applicable areas (appears like it is some states and European countries).

In Alaska , i imagine you were paying state sales tax. Not a cruise line issue.

In the Caribbean , that does not happen.

It wasn't a state tax as it was also charged in Seattle.  We were told it was for American ports.  IDK.  We never had that happen in the Caribbean, either, but it never hurts to ask considering we are in Port Canaveral,  two US Virgin Islands and a cruise owned one.  Thank you for your thoughts and input!

Royal doesn’t go to Amber Cove unless something has changed. I believe it’s Carnival that goes there. Sorry, but can’t help with the taxes in port.

 

Thank you  - I have edited it and will now double check our excursion!  It goes to the Taíno Bay dock.

Last year we cruised with NCL in Alaska.  While in any American port we were charged an extra 'tax' for drinks despite having the drink package.  It was about a $1 per drink.  Does this happen on RCL?  

Specifically, we are cruising out of Port Canaveral, going to Labadee, Puerto Plata, St. Thomas, St. Croix.  

Hello - travelling with my family (DH, DS, 10, DD, 8). My son wants to bring the walki-talkie but for some reason I am thinking we could message each other using the app?  Is this a thing?  My son has an old cell phone, no data or cell service but does work with wifi.  Just looking at talking/typing with each other, no other internet type things.

TY - I sent a request. 

I am not on the ship.  I am looking for it in advance as my son is old enough to sign himself out of the kids club and I wanted him to study the map in advance. I didn't see a 'contact us' option on the RCL site.

hello - we are on Adventure of the Seas in a few weeks.  I remember several years ago when you boarded a ship you could get a mini map with all the decks on one sheet from guest services.  I have tried googling it to get one in advance but all I seem to get are individual deck floor maps.  I want one with all.  Does anyone know?  (Similar to the pictures by the elevator etc.)

Hello - does anyone have a link to a self guided walking tour from where Royal docks?

Are there island tour companies or taxis that do island tours?  What is the approximate price?

Would a walking tour be helpful?  Self guided?

Royal Caribbean ships dock mostly at Crown Bay. Emerald Beach is about 1 mile or less from that dock, so most people can walk, but it can be very hot. You can see the sidewalks and way to the beach on Google maps.

Is it a resort or a public beach?  Google is saying a resort.

Amazing - thank you Ms411!  We can definitely walk 1 mile without issue.  My family doesn't like to get off the ship, lol, so I hate to pay for something all day (i.e. go to the beach by taxi) when they just want to get back on in 30 mins.  I will google map it.

There are 2 piers. Which ship are you on?

Adventure of the Seas

Any beach or other activity walk-able from the pier?

When I initially searched tour guides for this - I came across a company that offered adult and kids rates.  But of course I can't find it - does anyone know?
