Salo Posted January 8, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Any ideas when the ice rink on the Adventure of the Seas is open for public skating? We'll be cruising in 41 days (wohoo!) and doing the Southern Caribbean with one sea day so I'm wondering if that's the only day the skating if possible. Another question: will the ice show tickets be available to book in advance? I have been checking the Cruise planner daily for months and I haven't seen anything about the ice show. Loved it on our previous cruise on FOS and really don't want to miss it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robtulipe Posted January 8, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2017 On the B2B2B Navigator cruises we did open ice skating was available throughout the cruises even on port days when it was in the early evening before the dining started and around the all onboard time. Ice show tickets were available on day 1 and 2 and not online in advance. Details for both were in the daily Cruise Compass. This was a couple years ago in Jan/15.

breeze123 Posted January 8, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I haven't ever seen ice show tickets prior to the cruise. Open skate is available throughout the cruise. Check the Compass for dates and times. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salo Posted January 8, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Thank you all! We were on the Freedom of the Seas two years ago and back then the ice show tickets had to be booked in advance. I wasn't sure if the show on our upcoming cruise was already full booked as it hasn't showed up on the Cruise Planner. I believe last time the skating was available only on our two sea days but if we'll now get to skate more we may end up taking our own skates with us. It will so much fun! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyeilis Posted January 8, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Skating was available more days than just the sea day. Not sure if it's the same on Adventure (we chose to not skate this time) but the more recent time we were on freedom you needed to be there early to sign up and if you got there later you were out of luck. So just in case, go early to sign up. If you're the type to have and bring your own skates please sign up during the advanced sessions. Beginners and advanced people on that tiny ice together are a danger to each other. Some Minnesota hockey people doing tricks were nearly taking out the beginners trying to hug the walls on our first freedom cruise.

mollyeilis Posted January 8, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Oh and the tickets for the show weren't available in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My two sons play junior hockey and last time they hated it when they had to use the figure skates! I don't think they will skate at all without their own skates this time. I didn't know there are advanced sessions, thanks for the tip, will try to sign up on those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted January 8, 2017 #9 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Many ships do not use tickets anymore. Don't know if Adventure is one, but for sure you cannot sign up prior to your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted January 8, 2017 #10 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) You probably won't need tickets...there will be at least 4 shows (all the same) to choose from. If you DO need tickets, you will be informed and told when and where to pick them up. Can't help with the passenger skating times...the last thing I need to do on a cruise is break an ankle!!!

skiiergirl Posted January 8, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Tickets were not needed last month on AD. Sorry...I am out of town so don't have my Compasses with me to look at the skating times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
