We did the mystery diner called Bada Bibg Bada Boom on our Indy cruise and loves it. We laughed so hard and had a great time. We would definitely book another on our cruises.

We stayed at Hyatt Place 17th street convention center on our last cruise. Had a shopping center nearby and plenty of places to eat. Paid 7bucks per person to take shuttle to port. Free shuttle from airport to hotel. Room was spacious and clean. Staff friendly and courteous. Would stay here again in a heart beat.

Btw, it was booked on Expedia and paid a little over 100 bucks.

I sailed on the 11/15 Caribbean itinerary. The first sailing since leaving Europe. Same issues with service in bars , casino and dining room.It is definitely a management issue. Also, I never once saw the captain on this 8 day cruise.

I was on the 11-15 cruise also and thought it was strange not to see the captain at least once. Also knowing what I know now I wouldn't book a cruise that is the first one back from being overseas. Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed the cruise and booked another on the explorer for the same time next year but you can see differences in the staff.

Just a thought but maybe they should have made one side of the ships balcony smoking and the other non. Just my 2 cents. It doesn't bother me but thought this would accommodate both smokers and non.

We are sailing on the Indy in November and will be spending both of our birthdays on the ship (one reason we booked this cruise)

We are just going to alert staff and do the candle in the dessert of the night as last year for our anniversary we had bought a cake and by the end of the cruise we had only eaten two pieces.

3!!!!More days till we board Lady O!!! Got so much to do and so little time to do it! Cant believe its almost here as we have been waiting over a year!

15 more days to Oasis of the Sea!

Is Captain Zini still on the Allure?
