@msuspartanbigten How did it go for your family on Adventure?  Almost seems silly to ask details about measuring for height but I am curious as my guy is right at 48" with no shoes on.  When and how do they measure?  Any tips and tricks from your experiences this past week?  I hope it was a wonderful week!  

For the water slides, it looks like they measure each time you go up the stairs. However, for the little kid water slides, they gave my youngest a bracelet that shows he was already measured. I would imagine if someone was right at 48", they would probably do the same.

As for the actual 48" height, prepare him to think he's not going to be tall enough just so he doesn't get disappointed. My son was really close at home using an actual measuring tape, but he was a lot further away from 48" on the ship, probably an inch short. Based on that, I feel the 48" bar they use is higher than 48".

Plans for the evening include;

Welcome Aboard Show @ 7:15

Dinner in Giovanni’s @ 8pm

  

So far the internet is very good. Hoping it stays that way.

We were there that day at 7:30 🙂

Going thru and reading your live post now to read how your trip compared to ours!

And others site studies that accu-pressure can have an effect.  It does matter if you put the bands on the correct pressure point (or don't use the band and just apply pressure to the spot for temporary relief, but hard to do that and use your hands for anything else 😉 )

 

I'm glad that you have found something that settles your stomach.  I'll stick to my SeaBands since they work for me and sweet drinks usually don't.

 

I do carry some soft peppermints too, but haven't heard of studies one way or the other on health benefits or contraindications - they just help me if I ate a little too much.

Do you use a seaband on each arm? or only one arm?

When do kids measure? Do they get wristbands on Royal Caribbean? Is their height listed on that? So was he measured with shoes off? We are right on the line as well at 48”. 

We sail in 6 days, so I can give you details when we return.

Hi, they were really strict with the height requirements, which caused some tears when we boarded the ship. They would not measure him with his water shoes on and he was just shy of the heigh requirement. I understand its a safety issue but his hair was touching the stick and they wouldn't let him on. We actually tried several times during the cruise with different people measuring. No luck . Hopefully it works out for you guys. Give your kids a heads up about the requirements before hand to prepare. They do have a smaller water slide near the pool that he enjoyed but in his mind it was for the little kids. 

Thank you for replying! I have prepared him telling he's too short so he's not expecting it, but he's been trying to grow over the last 6 months checking his height frequently lol

I did just see there is a cooler kids splash area with some  smaller water slides so that will be a decent consolation prize.

Fixed now.

Thanks! This is actually for the cruise we're on with you 

Thanks, I don't see how to edit it, but we'll be on adventure. 

Hi everyone! My son is just a hair under 48" but over with his flip flops on. Does anyone know if they make you be barefoot when they check your height?

Hi,

I was wondering how much they enforce the height requirements for the waterslides on the Adventure of the Seas? Can you wear water shoes on the slides? I have a son who is 47 inches and was really hoping to ride the slide on our vacation.

Thanks in advance!

How did this work out? My son is just over 48" so I'm hoping they measure with his sandals on

this review is one of the best I've seen. Thank you for answering mine and everyone else's questions. Very kind of you. With that said LOL would you mind taking a photo of the wine menu in the MDR when you eat there again?

Nothing like kissing butt before your request :'):')

But I agree, I'm enjoying following along!

I thought the same thing. Why would you bring your passport on a diving excursion? Leave it in the safe in your stateroom.

Why? What if something happens and your ride breaks down going back to the ship and you miss it? Good luck getting home without a passport...

Nevermind, I misread it!

If the price drips after purchase, does one get credit or a refund?

You cancel and buy it again at the lower price.

For us, we are traveling with 2 kids so the extra space is very valuable!

can you tell me the other table games? specifically if they have Let It Ride

They do

225.00 balcony discount.

Now you have peaked my interest! Is that only off a certain rate or is that off any of the best rates you find?

You're right there were a couple being rude to an older man at the bank today. The nag female reminded of a woman that jumped all over me in my last cruise, in the Promenade cafe. She thought that I tried to sneak into the Diamond Lounge and talked down to me in front of others standing in line. Maybe I was in a bad mood when I wrote this, but I just want to try other lines to see what fits best.

I think the whole diamond status is pretty funny. If and/or when we become diamond status, I don't see the point of it. I don't see a perk listed on the website that I would actually use. We always buy the drink packages, so I definitely wouldn't be hanging out in the lounge for the drinks instead of on top in the sun.

I saw the same thing. It did say that the price included the discount. 55+27.5 = 82.5 Divided by 2 is $41

Except the last two weeks it's been $41 for me without any sale :rolleyes:

Yes, the BOGO doesn't mean anything. I booked last week at $41/day. Now it says BOGO @ $41/day. No difference in total price, no different than how they word their cruise sales and it always ends up at the same price.

Here is my conversation with RCCI....

If the promotion is not auto added to your reservation, it means your sailing doesn't qualify for the promo.

Our cruise Planner will show you the promos being offered at the moment but the terms and conditions will advise of the sailings that qualify. I'm sorry for any misunderstanding.

Anyone can look at your posting history and see that you are cruising on the Navigator for 5 nights beginning on December 17.

 

They may make upsell calls. They may drop prices. Look on the Going Going Gone sale flyer. It may already be there.

:'):'):'):')

go green!!!

Go White! :D:D:D

Yes that is a sale, the lowest I've ever gotten it was for $38. But not all ships offer that low. Grab that sale and you can always cancel and rebook if it goes lower

Ours also went down to $41. However, it doesn't say anything about 10% or 20% or anything off like it normally does during a sale. I booked at $41 and now I'm hoping to see that price go on sale!

$41/day for our cruise right now, not even on sale.

Loving your review and pictures, we are leaving on the Liberty in 6 days!!! Very excited! This will be the largest ship I have been on.

We are too! Going to be a great time!!!

If it's not a cabin on the outside of the ship, good chance it'll have a restricted view. ;)
