Hello everyone! I'll be on this cruise, my friend and I booked it about a month ago for a spring break trip. We were going to do an all-inclusive resort, but flight prices anywhere outside of the US were outrageous! So we decided on a cruise instead - and flights were cheapest to Texas! Ha. I have been on many cruises before, however this will only be my second RC cruise - and first on Oasis class ship, actually first on any ship of this size. My friend I'm cruising with has only been on one other cruise, a Disney cruise last year for spring break. We're both so excited for this cruise, and I have a feeling we'll be a bit overwhelmed with the size!!

We booked an all day tour with Roatan Getaway Tours in Roatan. I booked the Sloth/Snorkel half-day tour on Viator last year with that tour company and it was fantastic, so we booked directly with them this year for the whole day. We're doing zip lines, Sloth sanctuary again, 3 reef snorkel and the Chocolate Factory.
AND, we're ALSO going to Maya Chan in Costa Maya this year. We didn't care to go back to the Malecon/Mahahual last year (it was ok but was one and done for my family) so really excited for a different option.
I *think* we're going to the ATV park in the morning on Cozumel, with a Discover Scuba in the afternoon, but haven't booked those yet. We have some time...
Hi from CC board! Was trying to gather info for our cruise, and came upon this message board. We'll be doing almost the same things! Glad to hear Roatan Getaway Tours is good - that's who we decided to book through. Since we're doing Maya Chan, we decided to something more adventurous in the other ports - we booked the "All in one Roatan Aventure" which includes Zipline/Sloth/Snorkel and optional beach stop. I didn't know there was one with a Chocolate Factory too! We booked another snorkel tour in Cozumel, the Turtle Sanctuary one. It has great reviews, and I love turtles! Hopefully we picked a good one.

Hello shipmates. This will be our 2nd cruise. After getting too old for scuba diving, we decided to give cruising a try and took a Princess Alaskan cruise in August. We have booked the Allure of the Seas to celebrate our 50th anniversary. Looking forward to seeing everyone onboard April 2.
Wow, 50 years!! Congratulations!! Isn't an Alaskan cruise beautiful? You must've enjoyed cruising, if you're booked on another!

A good way to see what might be going on is to switch your sailing in the app to the current on or next week. It probably won't change too much from week to week and will give you a general sense of what to expect.
How do you do that?? I have not found the app to be very user friendly!! I'm hoping it will be better once we're on the ship and connected to ship wifi!
I'm jealous of all of you that are so close to Galveston, or any cruise port. I'm from Wisconsin, definitely nothing close up here! I'm sick of the snow, April can't come soon enough!! I will say transportation from Houston to Galveston has been a bit of a hassle - there aren't many options, a couple shuttles I looked at the times didn't work for our boarding time, so I ended up pre-booking an Uber ride for us. We'll be flying in the night before and staying at a hotel near IAH, I scheduled the Uber for 9:30 am to get us to the port around 11:00. Does that sound about right?
