I just love all of the things there are to do on a cruise!

Yes you can get off as many times as you want. Just make sure your back onboard before the all aboard time.

Yes, absolutely. Only requirement is to be back on the ship by the posted all-aboard time.

I feel it's a perfect substitute for an alarm or a standard wake-up call!  Room service calls the room minutes before they show up with the food.

@nova_gal I posses no ORIGINAL wisdom in regards to cruising. Im preparing to take my 6th cruise a month from today, and this will be my 1st after having discovered this forum/message board.  IT WAS A GAME CHANGER and I cant tell you how prepared I feel for my cruise. I, now, feel like I did every previous cruise by the seat of my pants, and cruised like a savage. It never occurred to me to have the continental breakfast appetizers every morning, either. But once I read about it on here.....BOOM. Done. The people here are amazing, and I too am eternally grateful for them. 

I am pretty excited at the thought of waking up to doughnuts, danishes, bagels and fruit with my coffee.....EVERY. SINGLE. MORNING. 

We leveraged the Continental Breakfast daily (and do on all of our cruises)---  nothing better than Coffee and pastries on the balcony first thing in the morning. 

Remember that continental breakfast through room service is free. Its a great way to grab a quick breakfast or as we like to do, have some fruit, coffee and such delivered earlier in the morning to have as you get ready for the day, even if we are planning a later breakfast, we often get something early to start the day. We like to think of this as breakfast "appetizers."
Happy cruising!

@nikken79, 1199.00 fingers crossed for a price drop but I plan on enjoying the he!! out of it. Teens to waterpark, me to total bliss! Steep YES, splurge YOU BET, but we need to slow down and celebrate the moments, right? Work hard play harder, waiting here on pins and needles...can't wait. Let's have the best sailing ever!! See you there, Im the one on the floaty with a drink in hand or dancing inside my cabana after my drink in hand lol!!

When you register your kids from Adventure Ocean, you can specify who is able to pick up your kids. Just make sure that you put your friends on your form and vice versa, and you should be able to pick up each others kids.

Unfortunately, that's a very vague question to answer without specifics to compare (your receipt vs online).
Couple things to keep in mind:
Prices can change hourly. So when you book onboard and then go home, prices can change. Onboard, they may have included things such as gratuity, insurance and taxes/fees. Make sure you are comparing "apples to apples" There are two types of cruise fares: refundable and non-refundable. Again, make sure you are comparing apples to apples.

I'd say a visit to Atlantis is good for first time visitors to Nassau.  It's free to do sightseeing and picture taking in the areas that @Matt has mentioned in his post.
After my first time visit, I've only gone to Atlantis when there were newbies in our group.  We'd get a local driver to take us there and come back for us at an agreed time.  The last time I was there in June 2019, our group and a lot of people on the three ships docked there had a hard time getting a ride.  There were not enough van/taxis to provide service for tourists.

You can access the Marina Village, casino, restaurants, shopping arcade, and common areas of Atlantis at no charge. You would have to pay for tickets/passes to visit the pools, water attractions, and aquarium exhibits.

To choose one is impossible, but I'll limit myself from ranting.
When I step aboard for the first time. Balcony, at night, staring into the darkness listening to the sounds of the ocean (and me chomping on midnight pizza). Lounger, listening to pool side music and people watching as I sip whatever adult beverage I've ordered. Most importantly, enjoying private time with my wife on our balcony... Sipping coffee, eating breakfast, having a snack, or just chatting.  I'll stop there because I have 99 more (at least).

At the beach club they have towels for you to use.  They are not the same as the rest of the island.

There are towel stations but don't remember where.  There will be a booth set up on the pier to sign out towels.

Anecdotally, our sea days for 2/15 Symphony sailing were nights 2 and 6, with the 6th being the lobster night.
My wife and I only went on the 2nd night and while we were dressed formally (tux and dress), there was a guy who showed up in sandals, shorts, and a NASCAR shirt. I wouldn't worry too much about it ?

+1

No. The thermal suite is only available to those who have passes. We really enjoyed the thermal suite but we purchased it on an Alaskan cruise and loved unwinding in a warm toasty area on a ceramic heated bed. 

My guess (based off Labadee) is that there is towel station (or several).

Crowds are def. a concern for us.  We're sailing Oasis, and I have conflicting reports that there will be either 1 or 2 other ships there on the same day.

Are there people who don't do this?

How to stay in touch with someone on your Royal Caribbean cruise

Formal nights are called dress your best.  It really is up to you.
I have noticed over the course of my cruises that the 2nd formal night (lobster tails in the MDR) people dress up more, including myself.  I also have seen many couples that use the 2nd formal night as the night to celebrate an anniversary or a wedding, hence another reason why it may appear more formal.
We dress up and make it our special date night.  We always get a balcony.  Hubby gets ready 1st.  He than takes his Bourbon and diet coke, and watches the sunset on the balcony.  I close the curtains, and get ready.  MY TIME to MYSELF.  At the time we have agreed upon he knocks on the balcony door just like if he was picking me up for a date some 37 yrs ago.  We than head for cocktails prior to dinner.
OBTW, we never do pics.  We have no desire to stand in line.  We take selfies, we ask the waiter to take pics, etc.  
Fwiw, we also immediately after dinner go back to our room and change before going to the shows.
