  1. I am very much enjoying the photos..so beautiful! Do you have any from the Hobbit tour? My husb would love that one..I would've gone with your choice! Looks like you are eating well! Enjoy!
  2. Great review of Puerta Plata.. We are past the " adventure" stage..glad you are doing it now! Pigs feet carpaccio..what was that like? Safe travels home!
  3. you might also consider AQ Class with BLU.. they are able to customize.
  4. Intetesting reduction in services on X except for the highest level suites yet prices stay high! By comparison...When we booked a Concierge/suite level at Nassau Sandals all inclusive some years ago...(post Sandy) we were picked up by pvt car at the airport, greeted at a private reception area with champagne and fruit for check.in... Our luggage was taken to.our room... The Concierge (?) took us to our ocean view balcony rm, went over all amenities and took a list of how we wanted the fridge and bar and snacks stocked.. Ongoing, Concierge team made dinner and other res for us.. We felt pampered. The.price back then compared same as price for a Reflection AQ Class cruise we cancelled for the same week.. No extra charges except for the spa and shopping! (Spa prices and services were much less than X) We are thinking of goibg all inclusive after our next few cruises!
  5. Rough seas may not be the cause but may aggravate the defect. Sorry to be paranoid but "X" must know all about it by now and should be mapping out a remedial plan ....even if they have to take some cabin sections apart and rebuild. Band aid approach is not working
  6. I thought the food courses at Petit Chef were matched to the chef's video.. ..Sorry service was so inattentive..esp when the gratuity is added to your dinner charge. We have not seen Rockumentary, but hope to.if still on the ship wgen we sail. Fillmore East was every weekend..way back! We would probably enjoy a trip back to the 60s. Our plans for Puerta Plata are not very strenuous..esp in the heat. We hope to shop, get cigars for Sal..gifts for our grands, have a few drinks and get photos of the birds and botanicals at the port Looking forward to your adventure!
  7. I loved the photos of the colorful buildings and houses on Curacao. ..Many seem familiar The bright colors fit so well for a sunny island..They seemed well kept & in good repair. Very cheerful and happy! We are not huge fans of Mambo Beach area, but the water is fairly calm & very clean. We try to find a shady spot in a tavern. Last time, the bar staff where we landed for lunch were crazy for U.S. baseball...they treated us very well! Next time at Curacao we will try to visit the hotel area for sonething different....but we do not have an ABC cruise on our agenda right now.
  8. https://www.shoreexcursionsgroup.com/tour/aerial-tram-and-gamboa-rainforest-reserve/cacoaerial hope it is ok to post this link... a pvt tour I found on Google..but it is very much like the one we took yrs ago booked through X.. Only thing we did not see were animals in the tree tops or on the ground..did see birds! maybe check the port boards of X excursions for ideas!
  9. Looks like a very lively and entertaining show.. we will keep this one in mind!
  10. X announced that some EDEN cafe items would incur an upcharge..perhaps very limited The included items are quite good..It can get crowded It had limited hours on ASCENT, the curtain was often closed , so we did not get there in January..
  11. Taking an excursion is the best way to enjoy this itin. .We did it yrs ago before the new locks were in use. Saw quite alot, included aerial tram, climbed towers with great views, butterfly stop, resort stop for a drink.Return to lively shopping area..food, music, etc.. Highly rec the book "Path Between the Seas"..for historical/ engibeering perspective, photos maps of orig canal. Worth the long read!
  12. Great review! Thanks for posting What was the Aruba island Retreat? Can you describe Foodies Bonair?
  13. If one can book a suite, there will be fewer children in the RETREAT, Luminae and other restricted areas.. Gives a break..but not kid free 24/7..or you can try an adults only all inc resort
