kurtz6401 Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 I know that the shops and the casino are NOT open on port days. What IS open on port days on the ship? From some years ago, I remember the water slides, flowrider, and rock climbing wall being open but don't know what the status is currently. Going on Independence next March and trying to put together some sort of plan for port days on islands we've already been to and done that. Thanks in advance for any information!

I am attaching a recent cruise compass from Indy. You can find a port day and it should be similar to what will be available.

Pattycruise Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 I’ll answer generically . Shops are closed Casino mostly closed, limited exceptions bars, any ship in Canada has one bar each deck open (this was something I learned recently) kurtz6401 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not easy being green Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Usually a few bars, spa is open for most things (sometimes because it is a port they have a "slight" discount). Some ships also Adventure Ocean is open for at least part of they day, pools open. You will have to check once on board for the rock climbing wall, we have seen it open in ports and also closed. kurtz6401 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinJ Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 @Pattycruise yeah that one bar per deck seemed really strange. What do they only allow one bar per block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianB Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 Keep in mind on some port days, the ship takes the opportunity to do their crew drills. So, some bars and services may be closed during those times due to lack of manpower. Also, on some ships, they will close a pool while in port to train the crew on life raft operations (which is pretty interesting to watch). As posted above, your best bet is to check the Cruise Compass section for previous cruises for your ship to get an idea of what’s open and the hours. Enjoy! kurtz6401 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see the life craft in the water-while I was up in the NorthStar on Anthem- when drills were happening in Nassau. Oddly, Oasis has not been doing their drills in Nassau lately, or the last 3 cruises I did between May and June were anomalies. They did them at CoCoCay.
