One of our favourites is the Hard Rock in St Thomas. It's quite hidden away but when you find it's great. The food was good and fast and the best part is at the back of the restaurant there is a balcony with a few tables , THE VIEWS OVER ST THOMAS HARBOUR ARE STUNNING. It's been a while since we have been there so I hope it's still there.

On our next Cruise which is in October 2013 on the Independence of the seas we are going to the Canaries and one of the places we visit is Funchal Madeira. We have been told that one of the best places to try Is Reids. Has anyone tried it and any advice on what to try.

Any one have tips on how to beat the queues. Its our first time on the independence and as she is so big we want to get on asap and start the good times.

For me I think it has to be Southampton for three reasons.

 

First is and a huge bonus for me is that I can take as much luggage as I want because I don't have to go to an airport.

 

Next is parking , i find it reasonably priced and the car parks are very close to the ships.

 

Finally I love the view as you leave the motorway and approach the docks. You go over two flyovers and as you are high up you can see all the ships lined up it's awesome.

My husband and I will be celebrating our 25th anniversary on the Freedom August 25-Sept. 1st. This will be my fourth cruise, third with my hubby and first time cruising by ourselves.

Have a great Cruise and a fantastic anniversary. 25 years is awesome , my wife and I wish you many happy years to come.

Unfortunately I haven't bumped into anyone famous on the cruises I have done.

 

How about you guys & gals out there any claims to fame.

If I could put a new attraction on a ship my idea would be to have a glass bottom on an area of the ship so that you could see what's below you while you sail.

 

Imagine seeing the coral or fish and even a Turtle while you leave port and the ultimate could even be a Shark or Whale whilst out at sea. How cool would that be.

 

Anyone have their own idea for something fun on a ship ? .

My wife and I would love to go on a round the world cruise. Hopefully Royal Caribbean will start doing one and then if we can afford it its party time.

Cool , you are so lucky. I hope you have a great time.

 

It's a shame she is only here for a while but at least she will have done a few cruises before she rtns to Ft Lauderdale, but I think as Arnie would say SHEEL BE BACK , ASTA LA VISTA EUROPE.

Royal Caribbeans UK website has announced that from 2014 the Oasis of the Seas will be sailing from Southampton to the Mediterranean. You can book for her sailings now.

 

In readiness for her arrival Southampton is building an additional berth to accommodate her. I can't wait to see her arrive at the port and even better than that is if I get to sail on her(here's hoping).

Hi trainer.Stan

 

I have got round this by using another email address and adding a number to my user name so that people can see its me posting on both the message board and the questions.

 

Hope this solves your problem.

Let me know which ship has the best Casino on board and your biggest win. My biggest was $1600 .00 while playing Let it Ride and my wife's was $1200.00 on a wheel of fortune slot machine.

Hi Racer734,

 

Why?, what happened.

Thanks Matt & RCL4Life.

 

That's really helpful, all I can say is look out Johnny Rockets im coming for ya.

First time on Royal Caribbean & the ship & itinerary looks fab. The best thing is that we get to spend quality time together.

Our next cruise is on the 14th of October on the independence of the seas. We can't wait yippee.

When I have paid the surcharge can I order another burger or sandwich etc if i'm still hungry or do I have to pay again and do you have to pay extra for the extras like onions , egg, bacon etc.
