markinct Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 Hello, everybody! We just booked this cruise and I'm really looking forward to trying a Voyager class ship. I have not been to Labadee since 2015 and I'm curious about any changes that have been made since then. Also, it occurs to me that it will be St Patrick's Day when we arrive...

Have you done 3 weeks on the same ship before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We enjoy cruising and yes, we have spent as long as 42 days on board at times. It attempts to keep us out of trouble.

Debated between Jewel out of San Juan and this, but settled on yet another cruise on Adventure.

I was a little shocked and disappointed that that cruise got cancelled. The canal is a 'bucket list' cruise for many of us. I hope to see you on the "consolation prize" cruise!

The only quasi "bummer" is that this will make 3 consecutive cruises on Adventure in less than a year. Yeah I know, first world problems.

Elania Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 This will be the second cruise my family and I will be going on together. When I say family, I mean my mom, three adult siblings, and all five of our partners. This will also only be my second cruise ever, so I'm getting really excited! Even though it's still 6 months away. markinct and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 Yep, the most painful day in cruise planning...final payment day. Made even higher by throwing gratuities on at the last minute to get the old rate. But that one will feel better with a low bill on board. markinct 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to pay as much "up front" as possible, to avoid that "sticker" shock at the end of the cruise. But I think I'm actually setting a trap for myself....

I avoid looking ... but now I have to.... I think we all get it - between cancellations and unsold inventory I understand why RCL prices the remaining cabins the way they do. But with cruising in such high demand these days I'm surprised the cruise wasn't sold out. Maybe because Adventure isn't the newest and biggest?

If you don't feel comfortable, stay on the ship and enjoy a "crowd free" experience! Vacations are about reducing stress and anxiety!!
