Hello:

We are on the Adventure of the Seas in about 3 weeks.  I was wondering if everyone could share some of their favorite cocktails that they enjoy on the RCCL ships?  Any special fruity concoctions that everyone can share?

Cheers!

Thanks everyone.  We are probably overthinking the dangers of Nassau.  We are there from 12:00 till 12:00.  Plan would be to get off as a family for 2 to 4 hours during the day and shop, drink and maybe go to Junkanoo beach for a bit.  Then we would return to the ship for dinner.  afterwards maybe the adults will get off for a few craft beers at Pirate Republic Brewing:

Sounds harmless and safe enough.

I think the fact that there is (or was recently) a US State Department Travel Advisory warning about safety has us concerned.  We really just want to walk around the extended port area, head to the small beach on the right of the dock and drink some beers at a few bars.

I am normally not a nervous person but I have heard that Nassau is not as safe as many other ports.  We are considering not getting off the ship in Nassau for this reason.  Any feedback from recent visitors?

Thanks everyone!  It seems like the consensus is spend the $$$ upfront and don't look back.  You are a very persuasive group. 

Funny thing is that I went on to book tonight and after a week of no price movement the price had dropped to $49 per day.  So $925 for my dear wife and me for 8 nights.

Thanks for all the input!

This close to the date, unless there happens to be a pop-up sale, it'll probably stay where it is. 

One thing to note, if you go ahead and book it at the current rate ahead of the cruise and you see it drop again ahead of your sailing (you can book this up to 3 days before you sail), you can cancel your current Drink Package and re-book it at the better rate. 

You can at least guarantee that whatever you see on the cruise planner will be a better rate than what you get once you board. 

Thanks.  Completely annoying but it is what it is.  It burns my bottom to give them another $48 for the two of us.  I am really re-thinking if the drink package is such a good deal for us.  8 nights is $982 is a ton of money for the flexibility to drink as we see fit.  At $10 a drink that is nearly 100 drinks!

We are on the Adventure of the Seas in 20+ days out of Bayonne.  We have been watching the pricing on drink packages and excursions change almost daily and at times by a large percentage.

We decided about a week ago that, darn it, let's just book the premium drink package for my wife and me.  I swear that ever since we decided the darn thing has been steady as a rock at $52 per day plus gratuity.  For months it changed all the time between $49 and $52.  Now, we are not seeing any changes (or any changes in other packages).  Is it standard RCCL practice to freeze the discounted package prices as the cruise draws near?

Is anyone else seeing this as well?

We are on the Adventure of the Seas in late June.

Thanks to everyone for the help!

Hello:

Never been on RCCL before but are sailing on June 28th.  Just saw the menu for Johnny Rockets.  I know you pay extra to eat there.  I think I read $9.95.  How does that work with the menu?  Do you order whatever you want for $9.95?

Thanks!
