I feel like every time we go to do something it’s closed…but I have no way of knowing when it opens… Most activities are not open while you are in port. The APP or cruise compass should show the hours that different activities are open everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't really planning on doing anything there, other than maybe wandering around the port a little. I know that there are plenty of options for a massage if you go to the malecon, but I would love to be able to get one right there in the port. Hopefully @ceilidh1 can get the name for you but there is a place in the port that does massages. They have a little pool or beach area too if I recall. I think it is some kind of bathhouse or mediation place. I just can't remember the name of it. I know Royal sells excursions for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is pretty expensive in that area, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s the Mayan Healing Ritual excursion but there is also just a spa upstairs if you didn’t want to do the whole thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted August 29 Author #434 Share Posted August 29 We came back and rounded up DS for lunch, which we had at Windjammer. It was decent (I’m so not a buffet person). Then we went to play mini golf…but it was closed . We opted for ping pong but didn’t last long is this humidity! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s not actually dirt, but it still puts me off wanting to get in! This is the one in the Solarium but they all have that same brown nastiness… That looks gross, would not entice me either. Sounds like a fantastic trip with the kiddos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there are generally signs posted near the various activities, the app is better for "one stop shopping." Swipe to the right and choose activities. You'll find most of what you're looking for under "Venues." For example, here are the Zipline hours for your sailing: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something special you have to do to get a club to play? Being in port really isn't a reason for mini golf to be closed. Other spots that require crew to man them, I get. But why mini golf, it doesn't makes sense to me. No crew needed for that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvnewsengineer Posted August 29 #440 Share Posted August 29 (edited) Have never seen any of the mini-golfs closed. Normally, putters, balls and scorecards are in a bin by hole 1 or somewhere in the general area. Pencils are a premium though. The cruise compass will should say Royal Dunes open 24 hours. BTW: Great Review...enjoying it thoroughly. Edited August 29 by tvnewsengineer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted August 29 Author #443 Share Posted August 29 So we haven’t used the cups in the freestyle machines until today. When we tried, we got a message “you’re going to need a different cup”…, what does that mean? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your cup doesnt seem programmed for the right date, you might have to trade it for another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means there is something wrong with the chip that the machine reads, you need to exchange it for a different cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scanning the QR code should bring up the compass in pdf format. It refreshes each day for the current day’s compass. If you can’t find the card, try this. https://minio.rccl.com/compass/cruisecompass.pdf It only works while you are onboard. I always save a copy to my files so I have it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted August 29 Author #447 Share Posted August 29 Crisis averted. Got the cup changed and now it works. Got another blue drink - Sea &T. This one is really good! oh, and the stout espresso martini! 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted August 29 Author #448 Share Posted August 29 So here is something weird. DS loves virgin mudslides. Every bar I’ve asked at on this ship says they can’t make them. I found that odd. Today I asked at the pool bar and asked why. They said they didn’t have cream. But they could make a regular mudslide. Just not a virgin one. I’m no bartender, so maybe it’s legit. But why? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poocher Posted August 29 #449 Share Posted August 29 Maybe the mudslide is premixed with the alcohol. 🤷♀️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was explained (I think) that the Kahlua(?) is a necessary ingredient to make the mudslide, but if it's included, it's not NA. Something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
