We did the Chukka horseback ride and swim out of Montego Bay and it was awesome we are going back in January and plan on doing it again.

Is adventure ocean open the first night on allure and at what time?

As far as the other slide goes. The death on the Kansas water slide this past summer reinforces my aversion to water slides.
Not judging you, because we all have our own aversions and thoughts on everything. As an example, you will not catch me skydiving no matter how many people tell me it is safe/fun!
I believe the slides on RC are plenty safe and what happened in Kansas should not stop anyone from trying these slides. I can't wait to do it myself.

It may also be useful to join a roll call like the ones through Cruise Critic. That way, you can make connections with some of the other families and kids that will be onboard. We did this for our Baltics cruise and it worked out well as we arranged excursions with others families that had children.
I agree the roll calls are a good idea, but in my experience, it is dominated by older people. Having been to many CC meet and mingles, I have very rarely seen kids there, let alone people under the age of 50. Having experienced that, it does explain some of the negative reviews I also happen to read on CC, but I digress.

I think not:

I am still looking forward to sailing on this ship next week. It seems that they have their act together now...Hopefully.
CC reviews are not gospel. Have you ever been to a CC MM on a ship? Average age is about 72.
You can find negative reviews on CC about every Royal Caribbean ship. I will still take a cruise on Empress over a day at work!

I am beyond disappointed in the level of concern that Royal Caribbean has for their guests in addition to being angry and frustrated with the horrible vacation I recently returned from on April 4, 2016.
Hi Agneka. Might I ask what was so horrible about the cruise?
-
Scenarios like this are why I always book with a travel agent. Let them deal with re-booking and figuring out what the best deal is.

that is so cool!

What is the best beach in cococay if you want no rocks in water and not too crowded?
Thank you -

Can anyone recommend a good beach for swimming in Cozumel?

Great report

It's the airfare for me as well, but then that's always the case for us Canadians....
Vacation time is not an issue, neither is family.
Airfare ranges normally from $600-800 to get to anwyhere in Flordia.
Once you add on the single occ additonal cost for me, a $189 cruise is at least $1500. Once you add hotel overnite, shuttles and drink packages....its $2000.
Thats why I have had to stick to 4 day cruises for around the $200 mark.
While a 7 day cruise on Oasis or Allure would be a dream for me, it would also be a bank breaking vacation of somwhere around $4000 :angry:
But it still tempts me everytime I see a deal like that... :(
I know what you mean about airfare. I remember 10-15 years ago when prices for airfare were so much more affordable. I hate how the airlines have made things so expensive for regular people.

Sounds like Anthem is going to Britian
-
If the price stays the same for the old packages I think it is a better package
-
On some ships you can eat in Chops or Portofino on the first day lunch if the Windjammer gets too busy
-
Freedom class. Never had a bad time on there
-
We saw the ice show on Liberty it was amazing.
Same here, we really enjoyed the ice show on Liberty
-
Key West is always high on our list. Peppers of Key West has best sauces in the South.
Seconded!
-
I didnt but I also dont want to eat at chops or portofino on first or second night
-
Good news for those that like the casinos
Ministers in Bermuda approved legislation allowing cruise ships to open their casinos during the evening while still docked.
In exchange, the government will get a license fee for ships that carry more than 2,000 passengers.Casinos could only open between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. and only for passengers, not for residents of Bermuda. -
Anyone know any good Tapas bars in Vigo or La Coruna as we would like to try the real thing while we are ashore :D
Never been to either port but my favorite restaurant is Fishlips in Port Canaveral. Great view of the ships!
How do you pick a travel agent?

Trust me: don't chase whichever agent can get you the most credit.
You want a really good agent who knows cruising.
MEI Travel has such a good reputation here and it's for good reason: they know how to take care of their clients, especially when times are tough. I can't tell you how much time my MEI agent saved me!
