You can take your time and have breakfast. Once your number is called, you can disembark anytime you want. Once off the ship, you can have a porter assist you with your luggage or do it yourself. Completely up to you. You do have to be off the ship by sometime between 9 and 10am.

Using Royal Caribbean's Cellular at Seas is roaming, no matter where you are from. As someone from Spain, using Cellular at Sea would be like using AT&T in the USA: you're roaming no matter what.

To be clear Adventure DID get upgrades. In fact, every ship (except for Majesty) will or has gotten upgrades. What each ship gets depends on different factors, look no further than the Vision class for examples of which ships got what.

I wouldn't worry at all. We sailed in February and LOVED it. We had terrific service on our cruise. We loved the ship and like Steve, would go back in a heart beat! Our MDR waiter was one of the best I've ever had. I could try digging up his name if you like.

I stayed at the Sheraton in Old San Juan. Great hotel for the money. We had considered El Convento too. We also chose our hotel with the idea we wanted to be able to walk from our hotel to anywhere in old San Juan, which may not be a consideration for you. El Convento has favorable reviews from what I recall.

I flew to SJU from JFK but we waited for the airfare to appear on Southwest/JetBlue. I believe we ended up flying Southwest just for the ability to keep changing prices as needed.

Not anytime soon. Adventure of the Seas' upgrades were part of a fleet-wide program and it should be set for another few years.

Your carry on items go through a metal detector but generally they are more concerned with weapons. Also, these people here are security and not Royal Caribbean security.

Bring it in your carryon and don't say anythng :)

Yes exactly

If you get your stuff pressed it's not too bad price wise. Look for the weekly special where you can fill a laundry bag for like $25. We do it every cruise to save.

Glad it's not just us that don't like to share :D

I never installed their app, it was never that impressive to me. I know with Quantum they are upgrading everything so hoping it will get better soon!

The 3rd and 4th passengers free is also back, which I think is a better deal if you were planning on having 3 or 4 people in your stateroom. Regardless, you should look at re-pricing any existing cruises to see if this deal benefits you.

Most experts recommend being low and mid ship to minimize sea sickness effects

My wife feels the same way

Great question Neil. When I feel a little motion sickness, seeing the horizon does help a lot. Plus the fresh air helps me too. So if it's going to be rough seas, a balcony would be best in my case. That being said, I love a little motion going to bed. It's like being rocked to sleep!

Unused onboard credit is lost. Not sure about if you place too much money. My advice is only pay down your account after you have a few charges on there. As long as you do it before the end of your cruise, you wont get any charges on your credit card.

My wife brings her hair straightener. Don't ask, don't tell :P

We had the exact same scenario. Prior to our Navigator of the Seas cruise, there was no way we were going to leave my daughter in AO while we went to port. By the time we got to Cozumel, me and my wife were in port and my daughter on the ship. My daughter couldn't get enough and we really felt comfortable with AO. My advice is see how it goes first but I'd have no problem leaving my daughter onboard again.

Good info, thank you. We flew to Galveston to try out Navigator. Well worth the effort!
