Hi -
Just curious where you would really like to see RCI sail to next or again?   I know Iceland is becoming a new hot spot and I wish someone else would sail around Hawaii (although I know ships have lots of restrictions for that) but where else would you like to see them sail to?



 

Super excited for you - the 11 night looks great-
All destinations have great beaches so you can do day beach days for those
If you all wanted to snorkel they do allow on some boats kids to ride on the boat as the observer
you can check out www.shoretrips.com along with Royals shore tours
 
I'm with you - two70 and live music are my two favorite things
I'll be on in November for the 3 night so can post some things

Seeing your Signature with Azamara?  have you sailed with them?  I just did my first in February and loved it?

Yes. I don't eat sushi, and I got a hot rock with chicken (and beef, I think). There were plenty of non-fish options for me. :-)

So far I've made reservations for Izumi, Sabor, Chops and Giovannis on my Navigator of the Seas cruise.
 
Hi, my name is Matt and I'm addicted to specialty restaurants!

Lots to do and see there without having to pay.
 
I was there in Jan and Feb, both times the water was a little cool but still felt good.
 
I never got mugged, and I explored all around. Even ended up there overnite as work was being done on the ship and ventured out till about 4am to the bars/clubs and had a blast.

Love Portofino's and the desserts as pictured are worth saving up for

Most (if not all) luggage locks sold today either installed on luggage or separate are TSA approved and can be unlocked by TSA staff. If you use a standard lock that isn't TSA approved then you risk damage to your luggage or lock if it has to be opened for whatever reason.
 
I purchased Samsonite luggage with locks pre-installed or built in on the luggage. It is one less thing to have to worry about bringing separate locks for each luggage piece. Samsonite is expensive but really good quality.
 
I don't know if the cruise line will unlock and search your luggage. My guess is no. They will call you down if they detect alcohol in your luggage to remove it. If they had the resources to unlock luggage, my guess would be they would just automatically remove the alcohol or any other prohibited items like clothing irons.
 
I do lock my luggage anywhere I go. I don't own expensive jewelry, watches, etc. and would not bring them in my luggage anyway. Often times searched luggage will have expensive items missing. Always pack expensive jewelry, medications etc. in your carry on. I do spend good money on my clothes and feel better knowing all my luggage pieces are locked. 

I never lock my luggage.  Anything valuable I will carry in my carry on

I do not lock my luggage either - carry valuables with me - but also I buy travel insurance and
that would cover anything lost in my luggage or taken which has never happened anyway
I take pictures of my bag if anything is inside that I can consider valuable

Liberty will stay over night in King's Wharf while she cruises out of New Jersey...

Glad I'm not the only one that looks at saved money as more money for drinks!

Woo Hoo more money for Mojitos onboard

Totally agree with this one - I love, love Tahiti and Fiji in on my list of places to go

Whenever " Oasis 3" comes out I would like if they would have either Oasis or Allure do 10-12 night southern caribbean cruises that leave from either Ft. Laurderdale or Miami. I am a lucky one who lives in Ft. Lauderdale and so I get to save on airfare and i would love to take one of those ships on a long cruise to new ports in the southern caribbean that I have never been to but on really great ships. Obviously Oasis and Allure provide enough entertainment and activities to keep people busy for that length of time I am just not sure if those size boats would fit in the southern caribbean but I hope they would it would be cool! 

I'd love to see them sail to Costa Maya as a regular stop, we loved it when we stopped there several years ago.

Agree, movernight lets you explore & experience the port!

I want Royal Caribbean to sail from the US to far away destinations, like Fiji or Tahiti. That way I can save on airfare!  :)

Great question Michelle.  I would love to see RC sail more overnights in ports they already go to.  Overnights really make port stops more interesting since you have significantly more time.

Interesting.  When I was on Navigator I was walking down the Promenade and some girls were waving to everyone from their window.

Let me dig through my pics but on the Poster (which I'm not sure if they still let people do) we would just say like "Hi - what's Up" or things like that so it would catch people's attention - I've seen birthday decorations etc also

Best Romantic and worth a look is "THE PILLARS" hotel.  On the inter-coastal and they do offer shuttles etc to get to the Port.  Very nice staff and they are central in the beach area and a great romantic hotel check them out.  I often go south as well to stay at the WESTIN down off the AIA more in Dania Beach.    Easy, but not cheap is the Embassy Suites - nightly happy hour and great breakfast and you can buy a shuttle pass day of your cruise for about $8 per person as of last year. Also right around the corner from the Embassy Suites is a Total Wine shop, we walk to and pick up wine before boarding.
Holiday Inn Express, off 17th street is one of the best values.

Disney just has the system down and the customs people there just clear Port Canaveral in general pretty well.  I have not found issues though on other ships myself - I have cleared very easily in the past year in NYC and FLL with being pretty much allowed to walk off the ship at a designated time - I do often take my own luggage though and walk off too, cause of early flights.
