  4. Adventure - Dec 15th - Review of 6 Night

    in Live Blogs

    DH and I just returned from a 6 night cruise on Adventure with stops at  George Town in Grand Cayman, Costa Maya and Cozumel in Mexico (and 2 sea days).  

    This won't be a full blog as I don't want to put everyone to sleep (it was pretty low key without our kids), but I thought I'd give a short review and some thoughts.

    To date, I've been on Grandeur, Voyager...many years ago, and in more recent years Allure, Mariner, Independence, Symphony, Navigator, and now Adventure.  Thus, I can give some comparisons, and we've almost done all of the Voyager class ships.

    Following as well. We were deciding between the Adventure and Freedom for this upcoming March 2020 cruise to the ABC islands, leaving out of San Juan to the Southern Caribbean. We decided on Freedom, primarily due to its size and its a newer ship with it being newly amped up, compared to Adventure. Curious about the dining and open deck areas in particular.

  5. More than 6 people at Thrill Waterpark Cabana?

    Does anyone know if we're allowed to have more than 6 people at the thrill waterpark cabana? We have 8 in our group, but not all of them want to do any waterpark stuff. I'm not sure if you need a waterpark wristband to get to the cabanas though, or if it's only for the rides. We'd like to all hang out there while the kids run around and play if that's an option.

    You need the water park passes to access the cabana in the water park. Bummer, I know

  6. CoCo Cay Pricing Getting Ridiculous

    The prices have been fluctuating a lot lately.  We have what we want sorted for our time there.  The waterpark cabana still holding at $499 compared to $999 when they 1st came available to book.  Being our 1st RC cruise and 1st time to Coco Cay we decided to pay the extra for the passes and a personal space for our family to hang out.  Definitely not elite over here, just splurging a little on vacation.

    We have a cruise on Harmony of the Seas in June 2020 (2 adults + 2 kids) and our cabana in the water park,, which we are sharing w/ another couple (2 adults) is priced at $999.00 + water park passes has been at this price for about 5 months now and I'm not expecting it to lower in price. Its a bit pricey, but when we are returning next year on Allure, we'll probably skip the cabana. Its a nice, item to have , but not wouldn't ruin our trip, if we don't have one. We went to Volcano Bay at Universal Studios last year and it was a nice perk to have, since it did rain for an hour or 2 in the afternoon.

  12. Maya Key or Mayan Princess???

    I am debating on going to Maya Key or Mayan Princess in Roatan.  Anyone done one or both of these?

    My initial thought is to do Maya Key because it would be fun to take a quick boat vice a bus, some history (even if it is replica) and the monkeys. Maya Princess has a great review on the blog so not sure.

    I reserved Mayan Princess during one of the sales making it slightly cheaper than Maya Key but very comparable so price is not an issue in the decision. 
     

    Thoughts?  Thanks!!!

    Our family (2 adults + 2 kids - 14 yrs and 8 yrs) went to Mayan Princess in Roatan last year during spring break on Symphony of the Seas and it was a nice experience. It was a 20 minute bus ride to the resort. We had beach chairs + umbrella, unlimited drinks from the bar (limited bar menu, which was 3 beer choices, about 10 mixed drinks, and soda). Lunch was ok, nothing special,: hamburgers and hotdogs for the kids, chicken w/ rice and beans for the adults and a salsa bar + chips. We were there for about 4 hrs. The beach was very clean,  great for swimming and the sand was very soft (no rocks) for the kids. It was also nice to walk along the shoreline. Would recommend the excursion, which we purchased through RC.

  13. NO SMOKING SOMETIME IN 2020?

    I complain on every survey about the smoke in the casino. I always plan to gamble, walk in then pretty much walk right back out. It’s the people who flock there just to sit and smoke and drink. They’re not even at a table or machine. It’s awful. 

    Same with me and my wife. We mention it on the survey with every cruise

    As @Matthas mentioned numerous times, he always requests some Indian Curry during his MDR dinners as a special request?

    What off menu dishes or items have you requested and received? 

    Any requests denied?

    My daughter loves strawberries and was able to get a bowl of strawberries at each dinner, the fruit salad she got had 1 strawberry cut in half. We mentioned it to our waiter and he made sure, she got a bowl of 10 or so strawberries at each dinner + 2 plates of chocolate dipped strawberries on formal nights without asking. Her eyes lighted up.

    Hey im going on my first cruise with my family in January and ive heard so much about the food on cococay and I was wondering a couple of things. Can you take food off of cococay back with you onto the ship? Im a small eater normally so I wouldn't be able to shove down all the great sounding food in such a short time ? also if I have the soda package will I have to pay extra for getting the soda from the Island? Ive seen a lot of people saying about a 12% fee per drink on the island. Thanks for any help im rather excited about going just not about all the food I know I am going to eat lol

    Do you need to bring your soda cup and do they have the freestyle machines or just go up to the bar and show them your card w/ the package imprinted on it?
