khm1 Posted February 19, 2017 #1951 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Thanks, Clarea. I guess I saw something specific to one sailing. Do you know what the largest table is? How many they will seat together? I assume it's 8 or 10? We're a group of 12 so trying to figure things out! Thanks again. Jane Sent from my iPhone using Forums I sailed on Adventure in July of last year. We had a party of 12 and My Time dining. They put us at a table for 10 with a table for 2 put on one end. It worked well for us. We went to the dining room as soon as we boarded to arrange our table with the dining staff. If you do this, you will need all the cabin numbers so that they can put you together. It is best to have a reservation for the same time each night and to link your reservation numbers online before ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mearley09 Posted February 28, 2017 #1953 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I have heard very mixed things about boarding times for this ship. With the cruises we have taken out of port Canaveral and Port Everglades, we were on the ship by 11am. It seems this ship, most people have said they get on much later. Can anyone shed some light onto the earliest you can typically get on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone shed some light onto the earliest you can typically get on? People get on later only because they can, not because they have to. You can still show up at 11am and get on the ship if you want. A lot of people prefer to venture out and spend the day at the beach or at the forts or hiking the rainforest etc; those are the people that show up later. Others like to enjoy the ship as soon as possible, or have already been in Puerto Rico for a few days; those are the ones who get on at 11. You can do it either way. The ship doesn't leave until 8pm.

We are getting to PR two days before so once we have to check out of the hotel with our baggage and little ones, we are going to just want to get them all on the ship.

coppermouse Posted March 1, 2017 #1958 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I'm getting to the point for my next cruise that I do something cruise related every day. I'll spend a few upcoming Saturday mornings studying the deck plans as it has been 8 years since we have been on a Voyager class ship. Does anyone know if the deck plans on Royal's site are up to date at least a little ? Is the Diamond Club still up on Deck 14 near the VCL? I know Chops isn't open yet, but it is really going to be deck 4? I kind of thought it would be up near the Windjammer like it was when I was on Navigator back in 09. I do the same thing>:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppermouse Posted March 1, 2017 #1959 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I saw a recent review with a few pics of the new 2 level miniature golf course. I think that is one thing that was supposed to be done in the drydock/reburbishment 2016, but got done a little later. I'll have pics come Mid May I'm looking forward to your pics.

geddoe Posted March 1, 2017 #1960 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm trying to decide which of these two itineraries to send my parents on, and need some advice from you cruise experts. 1) San Juan, Puerto Rico Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas Basseterre, St. Kitts Willemstad, Curacao Oranjestad, Aruba 2) San Juan, Puerto Rico Philipsburg, St. Maarten Basseterre, St. Kitts St. Johns, Antigua Castries, St. Lucia Bridgetown, Barbados The second itinerary would be ~$300 more. I'm sure they would prefer the extra port over the extra day on the cruise. Are the locations in #2 better? Is it worth the added cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no universal "better" in this case, it's a matter of personal preference. I'd take #1 because I like Aruba and Curacao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dachshunddoglover Posted March 2, 2017 #1962 Share Posted March 2, 2017 My family will be on Adventure May 20th with Aruba and Curacao. Our first time in those ports. Do you mind telling me some of your favorite things to do there ? We were on Adventure last summer, it will be nice to see the new upgrades and changes. Thanks !

E-Beth I tend to have interests that not every cruiser has... Aruba... take a trip to the far side of the island to see the amazing rock formations on this desert island. Curacao.... Haito Cave, the Ostrich ranch, and aloe plantation. I also really like walking around the port area and the Pontoon bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinesage Posted March 4, 2017 #1966 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Hope this is the right place to post this question: we're sailing AOS on June 3 out of Puerto Rico (yay!) and will likely be at the pier before noon. I've read that some check-in, go to the Windjammer for lunch, then get back off the ship? We've never done this before, didn't know it was possible, but like the idea of being able to spend some time sightseeing (luggage-free) in Puerto Rico before the ship departs that evening, which is at 8:30 PM (?). I've even read that you can get back on the ship after the muster (which I've read is at 5:45 PM?), and just do this at some other time the next day (hopefully this wouldn't inhibit our ability to do an excursion in St. Maarten that Sunday). Can someone more experienced than me confirm that this is possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you miss the first muster, there is another around 8pm. Dinner is delayed 30 minutes on embarkation day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_G Posted March 5, 2017 #1968 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I may have missed this, where is Chops going, what deck and where? It seems I've seen contradicting accounts, but they may have been best guesses. Thanks! Chops is open on deck 4 across from the Schooner Bar. As of this past week, it wasn't showing up in our cruise planner but it was open for reservations when we boarded yesterday. Sent from my Bat phone using Tapatalk.

Rare BillOh Posted March 7, 2017 #1975 Share Posted March 7, 2017 It's been 8 years since we were on a Voyager class, so I am studying deck plans again. We have a Chops reservation and I know where it is on deck 4, but what is up in the area where Chops is on Navigator across from Giovani's? Did they actually expand the WJ seating?
