Is Separate Check In Allowed?
Host Jacquelyn replied to Host Jacquelyn's topic in Royal Caribbean International
That's great news, thanks for the quick replies! -
Would my husband be allowed to check in separately? We have 2 rooms, he is the the main name on his reservation. He is in a room with my 2 sons, one is 19, the other a minor. Would we all be allowed to check in earlier, and him later on, or would my sons not be able to board prior to him? He will drop us off at the port with the luggage, and then return the rental car. It will probably be an hour before he returns. In the past we waited, but it was very congested. Looking for other options, but I don't know if they will allow us to check in separately.

Royal Waterslides: Any FAST ones?
Host Jacquelyn replied to Host Jacquelyn's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Another reason to try Icon! After the disappointing slides on the other ships, I am still wary. I did love most of the slides on Cococay, but they were awful on my back. The tall one especially... did you wear a t shirt? -

I guess I really lucked out sailing on Adventure! I did not find the Harmony slides fast at all, and Wonder was even worse. I have yet to se anyone make it around the toilet bowl and not get stuck, so kudos to you!! -
Tidal Wave Liberty

I just rode it last week! Not too scary at all, lots of fun. -

I just searched them on YouTube! The Navigator slides look awesome. Thanks for the tip, going to search up Navigator itineraries now 😉 -
Tell me about the fast waterslides on Royal Caribbean. What ships are they on?? I was so disappointed with the waterslides on all the Oasis class ships, and again with the body-slides on Liberty last week. They were so slow, and everyone kept on getting stuck. It didn't matter - thin people, heavy people, men, women, kids, long bathing suits, bikinis... It was so slow. On Wonder, it got so hot and the smell of chlorine was suffocating, I was worried that I was going to pass out as I was barely moving. Similar on other Oasis class. The toilet bowl / champagne glass one was better, but then everyone would inevitably get stuck and have to shimmy to get down. The only fast slides I have been on were : 1 - On Adventure. These 2 body slides rocked! Super fast and fun. What other ship has slides like this? I had high hopes for Liberty, but they were similar to Oasis class. 2 - Liberty Tidal Wave was fantastic. So fun.

The aqua show on Wonder was a mostly female cast (I think the only guys were last minute replacements), and it was so refreshing seeing women playing powerful roles. The music and choreography were outstanding. I saw the one on Oasis a few times, and it was also spectacular, more like a typical aqua show. I also loved the twirling guy on Harmony. Is he still there?? Part of the reason I may also have liked the aqua show on Wonder more than other ships was because the entertainment on Wonder was so awful otherwise (besides the ice show). We sailed her only a few months after inaugural, and the only shows were Voices, a terrible comedian, and a magician we had seen the week prior.

Just back from Liberty. Up In the Air was mind-blowing. I think it may be the best production show I have ever seen on any Royal Caribbean ship. Up until now, my favorite shows were the water shows on Oasis class, with the best one (IMO) being the one on Wonder. Up In the Air even surpassed those, far superior to any main-theater production show on any of the other ships I have sailed for the past 25 years. Which are your favorites, and why? And to those who have seen Up In The Air, what show (from which ship) do you feel was better?

Same Ship - Different Ports of Embarkation
Host Jacquelyn replied to Racer70's topic in Royal Caribbean International
My 2 cents: We did this itinerary last year and boarded in Rome. The whole cruise just felt off and disjointed. Like someone else mentioned, only around 1/3 or less of people boarded along with us. There was no first day excitement, and the ship was empty as everyone was off in port in Rome. Our cruise planner was all screwed up, and all notifications the steward left in our room were addressed to the previous guests until Barcelona day. He said that is what always happens. We felt like we were dropped into the middle of others' cruise. On Barcelona day, that was an excursion day for us, but debarkation for the majority of the ship. We had to wait in the entire debarkation line to exit for our excursion, no separate line. Waited forever for a taxi. We had timed tickets for Sagrada Familia, and allowed a lot of extra time as I was worried this would happen. Others missed their entry time. Sunday night was the Welcome night and welcome festivities, halfway through our cruise. .None of this was a big deal, just very disjointed. If everything is equal, I would recommend sailing from Barcelona.
