ckrobyn Posted March 5, 2010 Author #2701 Share Posted March 5, 2010 You mean you actually go to bed? :rolleyes:I always stay up on CC until the cab gets here to pick us up. :D That would be the day my alarm does not go off so I take no chances. :eek: I could not sleep anyway, so why try. Smooth sailing. ;) Alexis - in my old age (43) I start to freak out if I don't think I will get enough sleep!!!!! You really stay up all night???? :eek: I have the taxi company giving me a wake up call, and we have 3 alarms set in the house so we should be ok. Thanks for your good wishes for smooth sailing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrobyn Posted March 5, 2010 Author #2702 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Hey Robyn, have a great time. My cruise on Independence was very good. I need to find some time to write about it on a thread. I really like the Freedom class ships but I would have no problem going back to the Voyager class ships at all. One of our ports of call was San Juan and Adventure kept creeping into my mind that day. The day before we got there it almost felt like the end of our cruise was coming as I am so used to our cruises finishing there! Fortunately, we had a few more days left. And having the extra day, as this was an 8 night cruise, was so nice. One more day made such a difference. Anyway, have a great week aboard Adventure and a safe trip to and from San Juan. When did you cruise? Glad you are back safe and that you had a good time :) There is something about the AOS that gets into your system....and then you are hooked ;) I can't wait to get on my favorite ship this Sunday - it's like going home :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a beautiful ship but Adventure sails much better itinerarites with the exception of them being 7 nights instead of 8. And you are right, stepping aboard Adventure is like going home.

I was on the Freedom for the first time last August - and while it was a novelty to be on a Freedom class ship - my preference is still Voyager class :D I have 14 nights to look forward to now - except as strange as this may sound.......10 days would have been just perfect :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliger Posted March 5, 2010 #2706 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Robyn, from sunny Puerto Vallarta, I'm sending you my wishes for a great cruise. Hope the weather is as pleasant as it is here. And I would expect that this is a great time for being in the southern Caribbean. :D Gerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngestof9 Posted March 6, 2010 #2707 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Robyn - and OFF YOU GO! I hope you have a wonderful trip. I mostly lurk here, but can't wait to hear about your adventure on Adventure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addict Posted March 8, 2010 #2708 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Hi All Does anybody know who the CD might be on the 2 May cruise? I have read some "not so good" things about Mercedes on these boards and secretly hoping it might not be her!! Thanks Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read some "not so good" things about Mercedes on these boards and secretly hoping it might not be her!! Thanks Sue So far we only have the list from LauraS that goes up until the end of March as far as I know. There are a couple of lists on that thread but they are not correct according to other posters. They are old lists that someone changed the dates on. :confused: Below is the latest schedule of CD's available right now. LauraS will put up the new one as soon as she gets it from RCCL. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1129205&highlight=cruise+director+listing I just looked and this is what this January to March schedule says: ADVENTURE - Chris Northey - until 1/31 Mercedes la Fuente - from 1/31 until 3/21 Casey Pelter - from 3/21 until 4/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK well that's good to know I guess. So let's see - Casey Pelter and Mercedes la Fuente are CD's to potentially avoid on future cruises. Got it!

Don't know anything about Casey but we just got off the ship and yes, I'd say Mercedes is one to avoid if you can. I don't think I heard a word out of her mouth that I hadn't heard from another CD on another RCI ship in the past (and this was only our 4th RCI cruise). We enjoyed the week but will have to address some issue prior to booking again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddy123 Posted March 13, 2010 #2715 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Ckrobyn - thank you so much for this thread! :) It convinced us to book on AOS! Quick question for you - I saw from a search I did that I think you have stayed in GS1574? We are booked in that cabin and are so excited. How did you like it? My one concern is noise from the pool deck above. Was this an issue? Do you know what specifically is over head the cabin? Thanks again for such a great thread...My DH and our 2 DDs are really looking forward to AOS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckrobyn Posted March 13, 2010 Author #2722 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Hi guys! I am onboard the Adventure and having a fabulous cruise! I am on again next week :) Looking forward to all new ports this year! Mercedes Lafuente is an excellent CD - the Quest last night was hilarious - and she did an amazing job with the Love and Marriage show. Kaybeee - you are crazy!!!! Thanks for the door sign that awaited me when I boarded!!! :p:p Ship is in great condition - normal wear and tear, but nothing out of the ordinary. Flat screen TV in our JS :D Not all cabins have them yet... DeDe (Concierge) is awesome as usual - she is looking forward to the 6 months the ship will be in Europe so she can be closer to her family. LOTS of no smoking areas on the ship - way more than there ever has been. No more smoking allowed in any bars on the Promenade. Very limited smoking area on the pool deck too :) I will do a full recap of my B2B when I return home. Now it is off to dinner....and then I can watch the suitcases being placed outside the cabin doors....but not mine!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrobyn Posted March 13, 2010 Author #2723 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Kaybee - I just read your comments on Mercedes as CD....that's too bad :( She is on her game this week for sure. I also heard from DeDe that last week was INSANE with all the spring breakers - did that influence your cruise???? This week there were literally no spring breakers at all. I hope you did not have serious issues.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find out those answers I'd be grateful! Keep her in great shape for us! I'm getting more excited by the minute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
