No hibachi on Jewel or Vision.

Which ships do have it?

We spent a week in San Juan at the beginning of this month. The trolleys are gone. They do have a couple of green golf carts that fit about 6 people if you can manage to find one. They driver said that both Trolley's broke down so they will use these until they are repaired. Another taxi driver told us there was to much drinking/smoking etc. (other kind of trouble) so they had to stop them. I hope they bring them back!

Instead of the Hard Rock Cafe (in Condado now) you can visit the Senoir Frogs. Fun time even for kids. It is on the main road as you come off the ship.

We are looking at renting a car in San Juan but I've read a few comments that its rather unsafe, We'll have 3 children with us. Is it really that bad?

 

Does anyone have any ideas how else we can get around as a party of 6.

 

Our plans were to jump on the trolley bus and visit the fort and also trying to visit the Hard Rock Cafe but I've figured out tonight RC docks on the other side.

There are no more free trolleys. Now it is only an extended golf cart. It is green in case you get a chance to see it. It does fit 6 people if you can find one. It stops at the same stops but usually already has people on it.

I just spent a week in San Juan. We found a driver that took us everywhere. His vehicle fit the 6 of us comfortably. Much safer. A rental can break down anytime and you would be stuck. The price would depend on how much time you take up of the drivers. We pretty much spent 4 to 6 hours with our driver and it ran about $250.00. Once you get off the ship there will be a lot of taxi drivers. Ask if their vehicle fits 6 and ask a price. Most of the time you can barter.

The coast is beautiful! I am closer to Portland.

One other tidbit - the closer in (or current) listed sailings tend to have more and more accurate info. Even so, don't get too excited over the app or rely too heavily on it - many times the info is off.

Note taken. Thanks

Ayuh!     It is not viewed as very reliable.

What part of Maine are you from Bee Guy? The Ayuh says downeast? I have a friend that is a bee keeper also.

Thanks everyone! Downloading as we speak!

Yes. In the app if your ship is supported you can look up current menus, activities, shows, specialty dining, venues etc. Very useful.

Thank you!

RCI has an app?

Does anyone have a link to the Oasis menus? I tried doing a search but came up blank.

Thank you!

Thanks everyone. I think we will make reservations.

If we go on stand by is there a good chance there will be seats available?

Excellent, thank you! Are there usually seats available in case?

How soon can you make reservations for the shows etc? It says you have to make reservations, is that right? Not really sure how I feel about that. Did anyone else feel apprehensive about having to do this? I would feel bad reserving seats and not feel like going that night and someone could have had those seats. When do we know what the shows will be?

Thanks!

Thanks for the info!

If you book with the nonrefundable deposit and there is a price drop, will Royal give you that price?

Thanks!

There have been a lot of threads on that and on most that I have read it is reported that both have to buy the package, but if one requests a refreshment package instead, that may be allowed.  Apparently a special request will have to be made, it can not be done on the website.

Thanks Bee Guy. A drink package would just not be worth it for me but would be for my boyfriend. Our OBC would cover what I would have to drink.

If two adults in a room and one adult in the room buys the alcohol package do both adults have to? The last couple of time we went only one had to.

We were on the 2/24 sailing and loved our cruise.  Lots of favorite things but the most fave would be Central Park.  Beautiful, usually quiet and peaceful unless you were at the Trellis bar.  So many plants and trees, a few flowers too.  Birds singing and chirping during the day, crickets at night.  I’m sure the sounds were recordings but still added to the ambiance of the park.  Violin and piano musicians in the evening.  Loved spending time there.

 

And the adults only solarium, we spent a lot of time there too.  Wonderful.

 

The ice skating show, the aqua theater show, both were amazing.

 

Room service breakfast on our balcony, my favorite wat to start any cruise day.

 

Never felt crowded, so many places on this huge ship to be.

 

Loved it all!

Wow that all sounds wonderful. I love to listen to birds and crickets! (even if they are recordings)

The Kummelweck sandwich, central park, sabor, izumi, and the solarium.

 

Lunch at Sabor, 2nd lunch in central park, rest of the afternoon reading in the solarium then dinner in izumi= my perfect afternoon 🙂

Thank you ! I have no idea what a Kummelweck sandwich is but I will definitely find out!

That makes sense to me.

Got it. Thank you!
