Which side is better? Or closer to the stairs/elevator?

Wanted to go to St Thomas from a Florida 10 dayer but they don't offer it.

Anyone know why?

Well that's disappointing! :(

Have you done the other pay for tour? Hubby doesn't think $150 is worth it, but I do! ;)

New to Diamond and see that we are eligible. We are sailing next on Serenade.

Thank you!

What's available besides Room Service, we usually like pizza.

Want to be on the beach with a balcony , and very close to Bubba Gumps and that touristy little area.

Any info appreciated.

Thinking of switching next cruise to Celebrity for the itinerary.

What perks of being diamond on RCCL transfer over to Celebrity?

Following...

still trying to figure Dynamic Dining out.

I don't think I'll have to worry about it for my next cruise it sounds like.

Why did they do away with the menu's? That was very annoying on my last cruise.:mad:

In December of 2012 he told is that he was doing 1 more contract. Over the past couple of years up I have heard numerous times that he is leaving. In a way I hope he continues to stick around as he was one of the best activities managers that I have seen, and better than a lot of CD's.

 

Whatever he chooses I wish him the best.

I agree, just off Explorer in Feb he was the best one we have had to date!

:) Interesting...

Love the 9 and 10 night cruises especially leaving on a Friday...:)

Hope they add more!

I too did this tour last week. Our experience was a little different compared to the previous poster.

 

Our driver Jaime/Smooth was very entertaining.The bus ride was a lot of fun with loud music, singing and greeting everyone we passed.

While on the bus we all gave Smooth a coupon for our free chair. This was so Smooth could let Richard know how many chairs we would need at the beach.

 

This is where the tour experience deteriorated for me. When we arrived at the beach we were led to a very large stack of beach loungers that we were expected to hoist down by ourselves and then find somewhere to put our chair on a very overcrowded section of beach. We were on bus #2. The beach chairs we did get were blue in colour and very filthy. I made a comment to the young helper and his response was that he had complained to the Management about the beach chairs poor condition in the past and the Management chose to do nothing about it. We waited until someone left their cleaner looking yellow chairs and sat on those.

 

On the way back we passed Eagle beach and the beach looked beautiful, not overly crowded. On Palm Beach, we were packed in like sardines into a very small section of beach belonging to the vendor.

 

I booked this tour for the convenience, and I am sorry that I did. We did not get our moneys worth.

 

My 2 cents.

D.

OH! We did have different experiences.

We were on Bus #1 and we did part of the tour first, then to the Beach where loungers (white hard plastic ones, but they were clean) were set up and then continued on to the California Light House.

Just did this last week.

HIGHLY recommend, it was soooo much fun!!!

I should of said 9 night but thank you for replying!

Thinking about doing the Mystery dinner and don't want it to be on the same night. :confused:

Anyone done this and could comment on it?

Last post about this when I just did the search was 2012.

We have been to Aruba twice, love doing the tours, would like a little beach time with chairs to relax in. The 4 hour mark would be good if it left in the morning.

Any ideas of this tour or any other tour?

Following along as well as we sail next month we have an JS AFT on Deck 10. You mention it was a long walk to everything, are there stairs in the back we can take?

Has anyone won bids recently in the Port Canaveral area near the port. Have bid there a couple of years ago and won the Country Inn and Suites near the port.

I am staying there for my cruise also. Curious what area to bid?

Any suggestions, would a town car be big enough?

Subscribing :D

Is there a list of cruises for this sale? I just tried Serenade for Feb 26th 2016.

Ok, you all talked me into it...off to look at 10 night cruises...wish there were more to choose from and on Larger ships!

I am always looking to book my next cruise. :)

After our Feb cruise we will be Diamond. We usually book JS and there is a better discount after Diamond, right?

I just wonder if we should wait because if I am reading on these boards right, if I want a price reduction I have to re-book the whole thing?
