Is there still an existing issue with these at OC at the beach on the lagoon (North Beach?)

What resort is this excursion at? Any feedback from previous experience?  Thank you

Save the money.  Go to the casino on a quiet sea day and the dealers will be more than happy to explain it to you

We know how to play, but thought 2 free drinks. Just wanted to know how long the class is. We do not want to sit there for very long.

Hello

Has anyone booked this? I would like to know how long the class is. You do not get the vouchers til after the class.

Hello

Has anyone experienced arriving early to the port before your assigned time and allowed to go ahead and board the ship. Asking because of shuttle to the port.

Best areas for sail away on Epic? Looking for both quiet and full of excitement!

Thanks

Has anyone been to Tortola lately and booked this excursion? I don't see it listed at all under Tortola so was wondering if they even do this anymore?

It came back up in the past few days under NCL shore excursions!

Ok. Sounds high unless it includes gratuities then it's no so bad but not great for a sale either.

I check everyday as well, glad to know I am not alone, but that does not include the gratuity. I purchase one package for 454 for a 7 day on Oasis. It is the deluxe drink package.

it has been an awesome cruise to this point. This is my 17th cruise but my first in 12 years! Times and ships have changed. When we arrive home in a few days I,'lol try to post a review of my thoughts. But for today I thought I would make just a brief comment. I read this board for weeks before we boarded so I would be prepared. And I am happy to report that as of day 5, I have NOT seen any of the following: saving pool chairs. Sharing drink packages. Shorts in the dining room. People bothered by smokers. Rude staff. That's right, I have not seen any of those! Probably because I haven't looked for them. Been way too busy having a wonderful vacation with my family! Great cruise. I'll write more when I'm home.

Well said, some days when I read some of the threads on here, it takes me months to come back. People are so miserable these days! Enjoy life!!

No doubt it will be more expensive on board. That $52 isn't bad since our "20% sale" has now become a "pre-cruise deal" and gone from $46 per day to $55. Still less than on board, but it jumped without warning last month for our October Oasis cruise.

We sail Oasis in October also and I keep watching the cruise planner to see if it will come down again. Last year I purchased the deluxe at 30% off on Adventure.

Are you able to use the purchased beverage package on the island?

How many days before a sailing date can you make online reservations for shows on Oasis of the Seas?

Thanks!

We meet and spoke to a few contractors here in San Juan that worked on the refurbishment on AOS and they us that Flow rider and the red slide are complete and we're operating for several days . We leave today and hopefully they have them going for passengers. Theye said the ship is gorgeous!

Sailing 11/26 and unfortunately just received this;

 

ABOUT YOUR UPCOMING TRAVELS

 

In the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew, a devastating storm that affected the Bahamas, the country continues its recovery efforts. Our thoughts are with those affected by the storm.

 

Adventure of the Seas, the ship on which you’ve booked your vacation, is scheduled for renovation in Freeport, Bahamas during October and November. Due to extensive damage incurred at the shipyard and the global rerouting of cargo ships carrying equipment and materials, the original renovation plan has been modified.

 

In an effort to create the least amount of disruption to your vacation plans, Adventure of the Seas will re-enter service on November 14th, 2016 as originally planned. Throughout the ship, you will notice an updated design and décor, as well as newly renovated areas such as Boleros Latin lounge and the two-story mini golf course.

 

Unfortunately, the following features will not be available for your cruise:

 

• Dual Racer water slides

• FlowRider surf simulator

• Splashaway Bay kids’ aqua park

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Does this mean the FLOWRIDER and other water features will not be put on the ship even by NEXT YEAR by Thanksgiving week? We are already booked then, with our grandkids because of the potential addition of the flowrider, etc.

We are sailing on AOS on the Nov 14th sailing, right after dry dock. I am having a difficult time understanding that all these delays on the refib are related to the Hurricane. She supposedly entered dry dock on Oct 16th, the Hurricane passed by Freeport around Oct 8th. I live in Orlando and was in Cocoa Beach the very next weekend. Not much damage at all.

I do understand they may have had more effect, but to delay all that was delayed. :mad:

Glad to hear that. I didn't realize we are on the first cruise after dry dock until I had already booked. However, we will be cruising which is much better than not, so all is good.

I could not agree more. We are also on the Nov 14 sailing. I have read the same about the renovations being made to the AOS. I am looking forward to her upgrades and I am sure that RCCL will have everything under control..

What time do they" let" you board being it is a late departure? What time do staterooms open? This will be my first 8-8:30 departure time.

Thanks!!

Great review, thanks! We sail on her Nov 1!!

Thanks for the live review. We will board her when you exit on Nov 1. Looking forward to this weeks review.

We booked a resort for a day. It was an all inclusive resort on the beach. They picked us up and took us on a 30-45 minute ride to the resort to hang out for the day. We went in the water, and hung out at the swim up bar overlooking the ocean. They had delicious jerk chicken for lunch as well as a drink or two or three or eleventy-seven or something. They then took us back and dropped us inside the fence and we made our way slowly back to the ship, stopping along the way to shop a little and try a beef patty, etc...

 

Good times.

Which resort did you go to and did you use an excursion/tour company?

You should post in the Jamaica ports of call forum

This is the Jamaica ports forum, isn't it??

Karen, great review. What night do they have the captains dinner? We sail on her in a few weeks. Thanks

Just a thought, when we go to Cozumel, we rent a jeep for the day, $55-60 Ernesto's Jeep Rental and enjoy the island on our own! East side is beautiful.

We'll be on the Navigator and are planning to dress up. Several ideas brewing. One is "War and Peace". DH in his camo and me as a hippy. :p

I like that, we are on Vision so I may steal your idea!

We will be on Vision, but you just gave me a great idea to take some candy for the kids. Thanks!!
