Already eyeing Roatan Monkey and Sloth Hangout plus ATV Adventure with Roatan Henry Tour, seems like fun and honestly was eyeing LFK again because of their ties to AJs. What's crazier, my wife wants her own ATV. She's never driven an ATV. I need to purchase a GoPro! https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g292019-d15359193-Roatan_Monkey_and_Sloth_Hangout_plus_ATV_Adventure-Roatan_Bay_Islands.html

The animals are, unfortunately caged (on / at Little French key - which I think are the ones in question) the Sloth & Monkey Farm is called "AJ's Monkeys and Sloths" and is up the road (not sure if it's part of LFK or just a local place they work with... suspect the latter). The enclosures are comparable to an American zoo (which is a touchy subject, I agree). I'm going to reach out to friends I went with to make sure I didn't miss obvious animal cruelty. Skimmed some inner comments to a post which seems to be the "meat" of the drama... Apparently an ownership issues. Sounds like a messy divorce. American and Honduras courts involved. No official paperwork but LFK did comment with their email saying reach out for more info about it. If they ever reply to my email maybe I'll ask. In the mean time I'll keep my eye out for other excursions and have something else booked as a backup. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Thanks, I'll checkout their FB page. I went in 2021 and had no issues but that doesn't mean anything these days. May I ask what you decided instead? We were looking at this or Gumbalimba Park. No sloths at the park, at least "interactive" so we leaned towards LFK and AJs. Nothing set in stone with LFK yet.

Speak to the towel attendant. I'd just play dumb "went back to chair and towel was gone." Keep an eye out for a charge at the end of the cruise and ask guest relations (or call when you're home) to adjust the charge.

That zipline looks like fun! Thanks for the heads up, I'll check them out! Ah, Nyack is actually in Rockland County, last exit on 87 south before the Tappan Zee Governor Mario M. Cuomo bridge. I am originally from Rockland County (Suffern NY). I've spent many nights barhopping around Nyack, great village for it (great village in general).

Awesome! We did Mayan Ruins in Tulum in 2009, it was a great experience. We are booking Little French Key in Roatan which comes with admission to AJs Monkeys & Sloths (directly with Little French Key). I did it during the pandemic with some friends and it was a great time. We did consider the zipline & Gumbalimba Park so it would be different for me, but I think my wife will have more fun hugging a sloth I don't mind going again. No plans for Cozumel or Costa Maya yet. Maybe a resort break in Cozumel, like Mr Sanchos or Nachi-Cocom. Zipline booked for CocoCay & a day bed. We are undecided about the day bed but with only 1 left we grabbed it. Easier to cancel than wish you had it. Orange County: We are near the Newburgh Beacon Bridge. Few breweries, distilleries, wineries around or just into a neighboring county (Dutchess or Ulster). Some hiking and stuff. Bear Mountain is pretty popular, especially with "city folk" LOL. The Hudson Valley in general is pretty and nice break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Here are few things: I'm ginger. Sunblock, lots of sunblock. Always unopened bottles. Travel size for shore side. Seriously, see me :). DSLR & a few lenses. I'm a Canon guy but might be looking for a lighter setup for travel - Sony Mirrorless maybe? A7? "Dollar, dollar bill y'all." Seriously, lots of singles. I try to keep a $1/$2 dollar per drink tip flowing. (Also $5s for tips as well - porters, etc). Passport. Travel insurance. Might not cover everything or sometimes not worth it to file a claim but I mainly care about the medical anyway. Patience & Kindness.

Nice. Talked about that cruise with some friends which was switched to a different sailing. Wife couldn't get off for the new sailing and we ended up on this one.

Just booked last minute today. I've sailed the ports before but wife hasn't been to Roatan. We've both sailed Oasis but 2010 & 2012, she's a little different now LOL. Anyone else on this sailing?

Little bump!... Love this review/tour. This will officially be the smallest ship we've sailed on. We have both been discussing this more recently, we are in, 100%. Might lose inaugural Icon of the Seas because of it but we both are digging this trip more. Peeked at the cruise planner, only a few day 5 excursions available but enough to wet the palate. Now if it was only December 2023 and not 2022 LOL! Happy Holidays - back to regular scheduled programming.

For the zipline excursion you have to exit the resort, if I recall correctly (2008 & 2012 were my only visits) there were two layers of gates. First gate to intermediate area, not too large, like the size of a big garage (feel like it was for deliveries, trash, etc, but half guessing) and the second gate was to exit... basically like an elevator or garage with two exits for a bad example. In 2008 I remember them being armed police officers. They must have been there in 2012 as well but all I was able to get as we zipped (pun?) by was unarmed security. Of course this was 10 years ago.

https://www.clubroyaleoffers.com Rewards number is your C&A number. Site's pretty clunky with typos and all but promise it's legit. A thread created by a Royal Caribbean Casino Host:

I didn't mean in an aggressive manner, but that's their job to assist in these situations. They should have been able to show them where their correct cabin is located. Heck, now that I think of it, ask to see their set sail pass and take them yourself LOL. I've witnessed security help some very drunk individuals back to their cabins, this should have been easy . I don't think Guest Services handled the situation correctly, in my opinion, from what I've read. I understand the initial GS person (Alina?) tried to help and ask around, including her manager, all who basically shrugged shoulders. I put the "fault" on those she was asking for help and the "eh, just let them have your room, take this one" attitude / solution. It just doesn't sit right with me. As you've said, you knew where they were and at the very least, you know where they'll be coming back to, solution seems obvious to me. I do agree with you, honest mistake on their part. Anthem is a big ship and some hallways can cause you to lose your bearings, especially on day one. I'm glad the new room is comparable and you're happy. That's what's most important, the rest is just a bunch of strangers on the internet (like me ) Monday morning quarterbacking what we'd do in your shoes. Enjoy the rest of your cruise and the evening! It's Friday night and you're on a cruise!

Unless it comes from r/wallstreetbets subreddit, then it's solid advice. LOL

I would have said, not my problem. Just like I pay extra to choose a specific seat in a plane, I purposely choose my cabin. I wouldn't have accepted anything but the cabin I booked. I would have escalated it to GS Supervisor, then social media blasts, etc while standing in MY cabin, calling security to kick them out. That's me. I am known to overreact at times. I physically feel it now for you. You're better than me for handling it so well. Still take the previous advice and reach out as well as social blasts. Personally feel you're owed a little compensation, even if it's just a bottle of wine and a relaxing meal at a specialty restaurant. I am so sorry this happened. I hope the rest of your cruise is enjoyable.

I remember watching this IN 2009, I was very impressed. Besides the stacks being able to be lowered, all the other factors that also came into play... too cool!

Not official, official but sent an email to my agent to charge the deposit. It's refundable, rather have it than not. Since it was announced I've been looking forward to being on the first sailings. I really enjoyed being on the (7th?) sailing of Oasis in January 2010.

I have it "on hold" trying to come to grips with the price, especially refundable LOL. Since it's refundable I'll probably just lock it in knowing I can bail at any time.

I sure do love a lazy river and think it could be really cool too. Not to mention the pump system to keep the water flowing and moving us fatties who overindulged at Windjammer.

Should have mentioned this was all pre-pandemic. The cruises I've sailed since the restart I just bought the package without thinking twice about a current sale. I was always under the impression the .99 was a psychological thing as people just saw the whole number.

In my small dataset over the years, I've noticed the BOGO 1/2 Off never lined up with the 'base' price. The 20% and 30% always did. I gave up lol.

OFF TOPIC: I got overpriced tickets for Clerks III with a Q&A with Kevin Smith in NYC at the Beacon Theater on September 9th!

Anyone else putting their unused stock pile of proctored home tests on eBay? Curious of the competition. LOL

If it was 2025 I'd be all over it. That's when longevity at work earns me another 5 vacation days. LOL!

Holy Sticker shock! Refundable deposit for a balcony is Oasis Class prices! With that said, sent Kathy (my MEI agent) the go ahead with some FCC's to use and a few cabins I'd like to sail in. Hope to see everyone onboard! This is really going to be an epic group cruise.
