okay, thank you!  What did you decide to do in Nassau then?  We leave in 3 weeks and researching now  🙂

We went to Atlantis through the Comfort Suites. It was expensive, but cheaper than going through RC.

Hi. Sorry, I did not.  I found the same thing you did, good reviews on TripAdvisor, but no reviews on CC.  I emailed them and the price was very good, but I was hesitant because of the lack of reviews here.  I have found that CC has very accurate info.

Hi. Has anyone done the Cool Runnings Power Boat Adventure?  I've read good reviews on another site, but none on this one yet.

Are you on the 11/29 sailing? Just wondered since we still haven't rec'd our GTY cabin assignment:)

Looking forward to hearing if you are upgraded.

11/24 sailing.

Could you report back as to what you bid and if it was successful. thanks

We are in a GS on the Explorer late November. I put in a bid for OS and GS with two bedrooms. I'll confirm back if we were upgraded.

Thanks!

Hi. We received the RoyalUp email offering for us to bid on cabin upgrades.  We booked through a 3rd party. Has anyone put in a bid who booked with a 3rd party?  Did you contact the TA, or just do it through the link RC sent?  Thanks!

Thanks for the replies everyone!

Thanks, George!

I'm considering a cruise on the Navigator in late April and cannot decide between a JS or GS. One of the stops is Labadee.  My husband and I, and two teenagers will be sharing the room. Do they let Jr suites in Barefoot Beach on this ship class? Any other advice to help me choose?  Thanks!

We had room 12648 on the Oasis last month. It had the two bedrooms that could sleep 4 (two in each) and then the sofa that pulled out ( I believe, because we didn't use it). There was also a cot in the living room that we didn't use- I'm not sure why it was there as only 4 of us stayed in the room but I think there was a miscommunication somewhere as the second bedroom was made into a single bed when our kids were staying in there. There are no pullman beds. We loved the room!

Hi. I'm considering this cruise for next April. How has the movement (rocking, etc..) been on Anthem?

Thanks!

My family enjoyed the zipline. It's expensive, but we are glad we did it once.

I'm wondering about this too. When is your cruise? If we go on it in a week, I'll try to remember to write about it.

They typically contact you 6 days prior to your embarkation day. Let their current guests get on board, and then they contact their next guests the next day type of thing.

Thanks!

Thanks Bob! You really are a wealth of information! :)

I'm sailing in a sky class suite on the 4/23 cruise. Should I be concerned I haven't received an email from concierge? I noticed people staying in the star class suites commented they received one a few weeks in advance, but I'm not sure about sky class. Thanks.

Hi. Does anyone have any info. or feedback on RC's Margaritaville Snorkel, Beach Break and Caribbean Party excursion?

Hi. Do they run the flowrider while the ship is in port?

Yes, my husband recently bought one and I didn't.

We were just in cabin 1700 on the Indy. Our cabin attendant mentioned to my husband that the forward and aft cabins do feel quite a bit of movement on a transatlantic cruise (the subject came up because it's going over there now). I think if I did one of those cruises, I'd book a cabin in the middle of the ship.

I think there were about 45 people on the boat, so the boat felt crowded. There are benches along the side and back of the boat; I guess a little similar to a speed boat, but without cushions? It took about 40 minutes to get to Caye Caulker, but they stopped and chatted with us for a few minutes. Someone else said they had a very bumpy ride, but ours wasn't too bad. We were tender ticket #7 and we were among the first to meet them outside the gate. We immediately walked to their pier and others quickly joined us (so we did not wait long, maybe 10 minutes?).

Now, even though the boat felt crowded, the snorkeling itself was not. Not everyone on the boat did the snorkeling, some just went to Caye Caulker. They break you into small groups, of about 6 per guide, for snorkeling the reef. So, you don't really experience the flippers in the face, that I read about. But, when you go to swim with the sharks and rays that can feel a little crowded, but no big deal (and there are no flippers then).

For those of you who are like me, and hate spiders - I'm glad I didn't go on the cave tubing tour. We met someone who did, and they said a tarantula was in the middle of the trail they walked on and the guide picked it up! Yikes!!!!

We ended up going with Coral Breeze and they did a great job. I was reluctant at first, since it wasn't through the cruise line and I was unfamiliar with tendering. But they are organized and got us back in plenty of time.
