Or get you some water shoes that you can wear on the rides ... we are take chaco candles to wear hopefully they won't require those to be taken off

So, it appears that the pricing is all over the place from around 80+/- to 175+/- depending on the ship or cruising date / time of year. I guess this is RCL's version of 'The Price is Right' or maybe it's the 'Wack a Wammy' game. Right now, for our Harmony May 31 cruise it is $131 for the 'Thrill Waterpakr - Full Day'. We are trying to decide if we want to pick it up. Here's a few questions that maybe everyone can help answer: 1) What the 'heck' does it all include, as the description is sorta vague. the pass doesn't state explicit details on what is included (does it include the balloon ride? does it include the zip line) I'm seeing the balloon / zip line as separate purchases on the planning, but there is not a 'Thrill Waterpark + Zip Line or whatever' 2) Has anyone purchased well in advance, but then got on board to see a ton of signs trying to 'sell' the same packages but at a little discount (or higher?) Basically, trying to decide if it's worth it to grab it now to make sure we have one to be able to enjoy the stuff or are there always the same 'package' you can buy once on board.

The other thing to keep in mind is that you get certain benefits with the JS (like double CnA points, dinner at CK if available, etc).

Guess who's back?

wait, you mean i'll 'cover' ? lol

Opps was looking at the wrong week. Yeah, @WAAAYTOOO, @ellcee, @CGTLH looks like all the SC ones are gone. I would be jumping on this, if we weren't already trying to do a SC Alaska in June '21. Can't swing B2B SC with only 3 months in between. #DangKids lol These are all I see now.

One day I'm hoping to be able to cruise with the RCBlog community on a GC (I'll have to ask my #Genie if @Lovetocruise2002 will be allowed back into the suites) haha

Our kids had a blast at the sea plex, mainly hanging out with new found friends. Made for some *cough* adult casino time *cough*

Will have to agree with you on this one ... We prefer the Oasis class much better. But, don't get me wrong - being on ANY ship is always a good thing - ha

Or have a #Genie lol #SC-FTW

ha - that almost looks like my room ( OL - 8720 )

Ya know, I was really disappointed in the SC area when we went ... Think the SC area down in FTL was just a little better. Oh well - guess I should get to involved with it as we were only there maybe 10 minutes before Yen came and got us

@SweetHomeLady, we stayed right across the Hudson at Hyatt Regency on the Hudson. This has a excellent view of the NY skyline. Plus, the PATH station is right next door. As @JLMoran said, it's a great way to get into the city. If you get a chance, around page 4 on my last blog link below, you an read through how we navigated NY. We didn't take an 'actual' tour of the statue - but went the 'free' route and rode the ferry and took pictures with our phones. Of course, if you want to take an actual tour to get a little close that would be pretty awesome as well.

Take a read through the live blogs. There have been some great posts like Ovation goes north, by @twangster and Ovation to Alaska by @SpeedNoodles. if you go, try your hand at a blog especially if you do excursions. We are planning hitting up Alaska in '21 ... but aiming for end of May / June range possibly.

Something else to keep in mind. We cruised recently out of Port Bayonne on Anthem and got to the port right around 9:30. It was already getting crowded, but that was because there were a lot of folks disembarking and folks showing up to embark. The later you arrive, the more traffic you might have to sit in ... which means some of the lines inside for security / check-in were on the long side.
