Rare BillOh Posted December 12, 2017 #201 Share Posted December 12, 2017 My friends and I are doing the Aruba Trike excursion in March...I am now even more psyched than I was before... your pictures and story are amazing...counting the days!!!Thanks. Another tip for Aruba Trikes, find their facebook page. Rather than sell you a $100 CD of photos, they post the photos they take on Facebook for 2 weeks after your excursion for your downloading.

lola2013 Posted December 12, 2017 #202 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Thanks Bill...I don't use Facebook, but my friends do. We'll definitely look into that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksuds Posted December 12, 2017 #203 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Well, let her know that we think Royal should give her a free cruise. We really enjoyed her! :D PS: If she would like to have some pictures, she can e-mail me at APDMOM@live.com Thanks! I let her know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lvscruzn Posted December 13, 2017 #206 Share Posted December 13, 2017 All I can say is Thank you, Thank You, Thank You!! I did this cruise back in March of this year and loved it. So many of the places you have shown I remembered. I went with my daughter and this will give me more pics to show hubby as I would like him to go to these beautiful islands. Enjoyed the Navigator very much! thanks for the trip down memory lane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare APDMOM Posted December 13, 2017 Author #207 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Caution, riding the Trikes will make your mouth tired from all of the grinning! Great pictures once again APDMOM. I told our tour guide Ramses that next time I'll make my wife drive so I can sightsee better. Somehow when the time comes I don't think that will happen. Same here, but it will be hard for me to give up my camera :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare APDMOM Posted December 13, 2017 Author #208 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I miss my Orange trike. We saw those other tours as well, we ended up on a lot of their vacation videos, everyone was filming us on the cool excursion. It really was one of my favorite excursions ever. Now if you will indulge me one more time, here is one of my favorite vacation photos ever, taken by my wife. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare APDMOM Posted December 13, 2017 Author #209 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Did they offer Luggage Valet? Yes. We did not use it though. Maybe someone else can give more information :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare APDMOM Posted December 13, 2017 Author #211 Share Posted December 13, 2017 We spent most of the day either on the balcony or diamond lounge. We got into the habit of eating sea day lunches in the MDR, as they have a selection for buffet food, great salads, and a menu to choose from. Lunch service was also very fast, and it did not feel crowded like the Windjammer. On this sea day, they had another great selection of desserts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare APDMOM Posted December 13, 2017 Author #217 Share Posted December 13, 2017 One deck up is the Next Cruise Desk: Tip: If you plan on booking a future cruise, make an appointment to book the cruise on one of the first 3 days. You get entered into a drawing for extra onboard credit. You also still get extra onboard credit for the future cruise. The full deposit is now required (no longer $50 or $100).

Rare APDMOM Posted December 13, 2017 Author #218 Share Posted December 13, 2017 That is it for the ship tour for today. We splurged on our third paid drink - Love connection: This was the second formal night. The diamond lounge extension (Cosmopolitan) had a chocolate fountain set up: Before dinner, there was a Christmas Light Show. It was nothing extraordinary, but fun to watch. Don't expect much - it was only one song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare APDMOM Posted December 13, 2017 Author #219 Share Posted December 13, 2017 After dinner, we went to take pictures at the Christmas tree. We ran into one of our new favorite CC couples. Here is Wilson with our son - both dressed for the festivities! Down to the Christmas socks! (And a view of our room with the bed turned down) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare APDMOM Posted December 13, 2017 Author #220 Share Posted December 13, 2017 With that, I will close for today. More of the ship to come tomorrow, as well as our backstage tour experience. Good night for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prekteacher Posted December 14, 2017 #221 Share Posted December 14, 2017 What a great review of your trip!! My husband saw that balcony and said he wants it for a Freedom cruise. Do you know the room number it is on that ship? Thanks again for a wonderful reading experience from a ship I've never been on! Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare APDMOM Posted December 14, 2017 Author #222 Share Posted December 14, 2017 What a great review of your trip!! My husband saw that balcony and said he wants it for a Freedom cruise.

Barbara On Freedom, it is 7408 on the starboard side and 7708 on the port side. :) Hope you can get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HolySpearit Posted December 14, 2017 #223 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Thank you for this review! We are toying with idea of doing this ship once she moves to Europe this fall. Never been on Royal so your pictures of the ship are very helpful! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
