    Yes, the pools will be open.  Bring your bathing suit in a your carryon because you may not get your luggage until late afternoon.  Also, you cannot get into your room until about 1pm and will have to keep your carryon with your until then.

    Welcome to the Royal Caribbean Blog!  As others have mentioned, Cruise Critic is a different place, so you'd have to ask over there. 
    A suggestion for your next post, put a title that gives us more details on your question.  The "????" won't get a lot of views as it doesn't tell people what information you are looking for, so it will get ignored.

    @Matt Many other sites I frequent have a sticky post that explains FAQ in a cogent logical manner. It seems this great site could benefit from sticky posts. The above question is frequently asked and very well answered. Stickies aren't an extra task for the admin, because quality posts when recognized become stickies.   If I my be so bold as to offer an other suggestion rename the third forum Dining and Drinking as that would funnel those type of questions together. Sorry for the hijack.

    ISince we are docked at the downtown pier, we decided to go out into town for a while. Beside us is docked NCL Breakaway.


    Out in the bay, offshore, is the NCL Escape.  She is tendering her peeps ashore with lifeboats.  Glad I’m not on Escape !
    We walked down to the Plaza and decided to have a couple of beers and some chips and pico de gallo.  This was the first alcohol that either of us have had the entire cruise !  The cold Coronas tasted pretty good.  More about this, later.

    At some point, Dan mentioned something about maybe getting a cheap massage.  Oh yeah....that sounded like a GREAT idea.  After finishing our beers and chips, we asked our waiter if there was anywhere close where we could get a massage. It seemed we were in luck !  No more than 20 paces down the side street was a spa.  The decision was made.  If the price was right, we were getting massages.  Trust me, this is no foo foo spa.  It’s a hole-in-the-wall place but the price seemed right.  $70 each for a 90 minute massage.  Done.  They put us in a “room” for 2.  I put “room” in quotations because it is really just 1 big room with curtains to separate the “private” areas.  Good enough for us.
    I will just say up front that this was one of the best massages I have ever had.  Most masseuses hurt me.  I guess I’m just a wimp but the whole “deep tissue” thing is about as far from enjoyable as I can get.  But this lovely lady’s touch was perfect. You start out on your belly, of course, and I was really settling in...enjoying every stroke.  She did my back, neck and shoulders.  Heaven.  Then she moved to my legs....and trouble began to brew.
    Here’s where the forewarning from the beer and chips photo comes back into play.  As if, by some awesome force of nature and gravity combined, the moment she started pushing “up” (towards my torso) on my legs, the beer bubbles began to be pushed up from my belly.  Had I been standing, I would simply let out a diminutive “burp” and all would have been fine....but I was laying on my stomach and those beer bubbles were trapped between my stomach and my throat.  I tried to maneuver in a way that would allow them to escape, but nopesville.  They just kept accumulating in a most unpleasant location, soon to be joined by some chips and salsa (thank you, hiatal hyneria).  It was both horrifying and hilarious at the same time.
    I thought the legwork would never end.  Finally, after what seemed like hours, she whispered “turn over on your back, please”.  As soon as I moved, the loudest, most manly, horrific belch came roaring out.  It was so loud I’m sure they heard it across the street.  Dan said “are you ok ?”  I was so relieved.  I just muttered “yes, I’m fine”.
    The moral of this story is NEVER drink a beer before having a massage !

    For this to make sense you need to know that we have recently been on Adventure of the Seas.

     
    We were sat watching the TV last night, our eldest little girl who is 9 was sat watching videos on YouTube, all of a sudden she takes her earphones off and says “mam, dad do you know that Allure of the Seas, Oasis of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas and Symphony of the Seas are much better than our ship” the reason she gave was that they had a robot that makes you drinks, made us both laugh.

    Tough choice, I've been on both and both ships are very similar and I loved them both. I'd choose  between the ports of call and I'm partial to which every goes to St Kitts over San Juan just for the water activities there

    Srp431 reacted to CSki in Formal night optional?   
    Just off Mariner, and dress was not enforced in the main dining room at all. On "Dress Your Best" night, adult men were being let in wearing tshirts, sloppy cargo shorts and flip flops. I would say more than half the dining room was not participating in any sort of formality. It was kind of a bummer honestly, because I was looking forward to it, and felt like my feet could've done without the 4 inch heels after all the stair climbing and dancing I did that night.
