It appears, according to the link below, that Juneau is looking to reduce the number of cruise ships in their port so we may not be stopping there but hopefully that won't affect the glacier portion of our cruise.

Norwegian has removed all vaccine and testing requirements. Looking for RCCL to do the same any day!

Norwegian has removed all testing requirements. Royal Caribbean will soon follow.

Just got off of the Anthem today. We were at coco cay with the Grandeur and it wasn’t crowded at all, either in the water park or the other areas 

Not a lot of difference but I too just got off of Anthem today and it was Empress that we shared Coco Cay with. Grandeur was in Nassau.

I love that he and his friends are banned for life but I think it is hilarious that his friend has one job...video the jump and he doesn't even get video of him hitting the water! LOL!!

I'd be really surprised if the retrofitted a ship for wrist bands. 

We were on Indy last week and they are not set up for wrist bands.

Mariner has a Playmakers on it. There should be absolutely NO doubt that you will be able to watch that game there. You better get there early though as it will be packed!!!

That’s interesting. Many thanks for this. Wife and I sailed on freedom a few years ago and the suite seating was on top of the sky bar. Pleased if they’ve altered it on Indy as well. 

Was just on Independence for NYE and it mirrors Freedom and Liberty.

I was on the 9/28 through 10/5 cruise. I saw the barf bags but what I found odd was (1) the seas were NOT rough and (2) the barf bags were not at every stairwell. I've been on ships with rough seas and the barf bags were found at every stairwell on each floor. Odd to me.

As far as your drink package, your Sea Pass Card should have a DX printed on it.

I got this for my upcoming cruise:

In the description it clearly states "can be ideal accessories for your carnival cruise ship" so please only use on a Carnival cruise ship!

46 comments and Bob has not replied yet? Quick...someone call 911!!! :')

For me it is the MDR Lasagna Bolognese!!! That stuff is life changing!

YES! And remember...this means you will never ever have to step foot in the Windjammer or Dining Room!

Yes, as of this very moment, there is no Concierge Lounge on the Adventure of the Seas. There is now a Suite Lounge, plus a Diamond Lounge, both on Deck 14.

My total bad. I remember seeing this now. Thank you!

I only know this first hand till our 30th anniversary cruise but I've "heard" that with the Junior Suite you don't have access to the Suite Lounge. (Non issue for the original poster becaue of the Diamond Lounge)

I don't believe there is a "Suite Lounge" on Adventure. The Concierge Lounge would not be available to a JS but would be available to the OP as they stated they are Diamond Plus.

We love JS's and have no issue booking them UNLESS we are on an Oasis Class ship and then we will book a GS. I want the all day access to the Coastal Kitchen and Suite Lounge when I am on those ships.

Also read that the sea pass cards are at the rooms. Seems so strange to me. What keeps someone else from entering a room if the key is outside the door.

We have been on Anthem and Harmony which both had keys outside the room. There is nothing that would keep someone from grabbing your envelope and entering your room but what would that accomplish? If someone took your card then RCCL would be able to deactivate that card and give you a new one. Nothing to worry about.

All the cabins you mentioned would be best accessed by entering the hallway next to the bathrooms. 8450 would obviously be closer to any possible noise so if that is a concern then I would select the cabins nearer the front of the ship.

 

But Captain...I've only had two beers.

If you don't have a reservation for My Time Dining it could be a little bit of a wait but for me...I would be eating in Coastal Kitchen EVERY night!

Looks like the Brilliance Of The Seas Key West stop was just replaced with Grand Cayman for our 2/26/18 cruise. Not sure if any others have changed but you might check. I wonder what the reason for this would be. It appears that Rhapsody Of The Seas is stilling calling on that port.

I recently stayed in 12660 and loved the proximity to the stairs and elevators with absolutely no noise issues.

Could you give some examples of the rudeness you experienced?
