There's an old, elegant haunted hotel {The Grand Galvez) near the beach that is gorgeous. I remember the missus and me visiting it on a guided ghost tour...very cool. Left me feeling a little spooked, as all I could think about was all of the kids lost in the 1900 Hurricane Galveston.

Same here. This thread has me motivated to try one on our next Windjammer visit!

We're Oasis class fans as well. As some have mentioned, it's easy to do different shore excursions (even Coco Cay can be a completely different experience each time) at the same ports. Sometimes it's just fun staying on an Oasis class ship on a port day to enjoy shorter lines and plenty of seating at the public venues. We LOVE to lounge around the Solarium on port days. Happy Sailing!

Happy Sailing! Printing out those luggage tags is always a fun moment!

If having two full baths is critical AND you want to save some $$$, the best hack is to book adjoining cabins (inside, ocean view balcony, Central Park Balcony, Boardwalk balcony, etc.). We book adjoining cabins when sailing with other family members and it works out great for everyone! Happy Sailing!

The one B2B we enjoyed on Symphony was easy peasy. We all met up at the Schooner Bar and were then disembarked as a group and walked through customs and immediately re-embarked around 10am. The process took all of 15 or 20 minutes. Our only gripe is that we rarely have the opportunity to go on B2B sailings due to our crazy landlubber schedules. lol

We've done Hooked on a few cruises...average fare at best in our humble opinions. We'll stick to 150 Central Park, Chops and the Italian restaurants over Hooked.

I recall Wonder having some funny restroom art on our 2022 sailing.

Thanks for all the wonderful tips and advice everyone! I knew I could count on my Royal Caribbean Blog family to help a fellow cruiser out!

I'll probably go for it...I wind-surfed a few times in my 20s, but haven't been on a board of any kind since then. I'll have to post some photos (success or epic failure).

I was curious to know if any regular poster has much experience with the flowrider? I'm a relatively coordinated, fit 62-year-old who may want to give it a go on my next cruise...should I or shouldn't I? What say you?

Only the 8-day Galveston sailings seem to include Coco Cay...I'd take an extra sea day on a 7-day cruise out of Galveston if it included Coco Cay.

OP, I can firm what tj stated. We've done this on multiple cruises without a single issue. Happy Sailing!

No indication of any upcoming changes. I always go directly to the company website, click on the ship I'm interested in sailing and check out the "Things To Do". Happy Sailing!

OP probably needs to stick with the Jungle Cruise.
