Royal Caribbean said their official parking lot at the NJ port is $20 a day. Is there a cheaper place to park near the ship? Thanks!

My husband and I have a cruise booked in May. I hate to even ask this, but is there any chance Royal Caribbean will refund our money? We’re haven’t 100% decided we want to go that route, but we’re considering it. We just bought a new home, and we’re not in a contingency. We start making double mortgage payments next month, so the money would give us more time to sell our home. Thanks for understanding.

 

Appalachian Suite

Is this a Grand Suite?

Pictures of a Grand Suite please?

I'd try mbayley@rccl.com.

Thank you!

Would love to see pictures of a grand suite, Splashaway Bay, and the pool area designated for babies and toddlers in swim diapers. Thanks!

It's been increasing in the last few years. As long as the cruise line refuses to address the situation, it will continue to get worse.

Can't the cruise line just say no emotional support dogs? Is there anything we can do, if enough of us do it? Can I make a call? Send an email? What would be the best route to voice my opinion to the cruise line?

We’ve seen two dogs so far

When did this dog thing (non-service) on cruise ships start? As of 2015, I've never seen a dog on a cruise ship!

 

Their emotional support dog also helped them during trivia

Is this happening on every cruise now? Why does Royal Caribbean allow this? My last cruise was in 2015 - I've never seen a dog on a cruise. How is this sanitary?

For those of us sailing on the Adventure with babies and/or toddlers in the near future, could someone who is sailing this week please post photos of the "baby splash zone"? Thanks so much, and have a great cruise!

My Husband surprised me with a Cruise on the Adventure of the Seas in May for him, myself and our almost 2 year old (at the time of the cruise). I am worried that there isn't a lot for her to do. Since she is not potty trained, she will not be allowed to swim in any of the pools. Does anyone know if she will be allowed in Splashaway Bay? TIA :)

I had the same question a few months ago, and I found this picture on Cruise Critic:

I actually confirmed with the ship that there IS a "baby splash zone" for babies and toddlers in swim diapers. We're sailing in May as well!

Would anyone be willing to share what “perk” they specifically received from a TA? I’m feeling kind of bummed that we booked directly through Royal now.

Any info/updates on the Adventure of the Seas refurb? Sailing in May.

We are sailing out of Cape Liberty, NJ, and our first port of call is Orlando (Port Canaveral). I can't seem to find much of anything on the boards about Orlando (Port Canaveral) as a port of call - just as a departure. Looking for ideas/suggestions - we are traveling with our 6 year old, 4 year old, and 1 year old. Not Disney World. The ship will be docked from 12pm to 9pm. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the info! Just found this!

2016: "Royal Caribbean confirmed plans for Adventure of the Seas to undergo a $61 million refurbishment in November 2016...Adventure of the Seas will receive all-new thrills and enhancements, including new dual racer waterslides, Cyclone and Typhoon, the popular FlowRider surf simulator, and a children’s aquapark, Splashaway Bay."

2017: "Royal Caribbean schedules Adventure of the Seas Refurbishment for January 2018...Royal Caribbean announced that Adventure of the Seas will undergo a 30-day refurbishment to add new features and updates and complete work that was delayed last year (due to Hurricane Matthew)."

I've read the new "Splashaway Bay" areas (as opposed to the H2O Zones) on the other ships allow children in swim diapers. Can you confirm or deny (that the Splashaway Bay areas allow children in swim diapers)? Thanks again!

Working on booking the right cruise for our family of 5 (children will be 1 1/2, 4, and 6 at the time of sailing), and there's an itinerary on the Adventure that I LOVE. Our 1 1/2 will be in swim diapers, and the RCCL website says that the only ships that have areas for children in swim diapers are the Oasis, Allure, and Freedom class ships...however, I've been reading some posts that say they've added swim diaper areas on the Harmony and the Majesty (for example). Can anyone tell me if there's currently an area for children in swim diapers on the Adventure? Thank you!

Trying to decide on a ship...we'll be sailing with a 1 1/2 year old, 4 year old, and 6 year old. In your experience, which ship had the best (or your favorite) nursery and kids' programs? Thanks!

We are looking at cruises in Jan or Feb 2018. We will be sailing with a 5, 3, and 1 year old. We've been on the Freedom before, but it only has two itineraries in Jan and Feb. The Freedom was also a little crowded for us. What are your favorite ships for traveling with young children?

We are looking at cruises in January or February 2018. We are looking at the Freedom, but it only has two itineraries in January and February. We have three children - at the time of sailing, they will be 5, 3, and 1. We've been on the Freedom once with our two oldest. We really liked it, but it was also a little crowded for us. What other ships do you recommend for families with young children?

We are sailing on the Freedom in October, and this is our first time sailing with RCCL. We have a 3 year old. Do we HAVE to sign her up for any Adventure Ocean sessions we want her to participate in on the first day of our cruise, or is it possible to sign her up for a session the day before or even show up as a session is starting? Do the groups max out? How does that work? Thanks!

I'm still looking for Freedom of the Seas Eastern Caribbean "Adventure Ocean" Compasses and MDR Menus. From this year would be great, from the last few months would be even better. Thanks!!!

Ok, so I now have the sample Compasses. Yay! I am still looking for:

-Freedom of the Seas Eastern Caribbean MDR dinner menus for each day

-Freedom of the Seas Eastern Caribbean kid's program schedule/itinerary for each day for the 3 to 5 year olds

Thanks!

Here's a link to a really nice review, and he posted the cruise compasses as well:

YES! Thank you so much!

Thanks clarea! Could someone who has sailed on the Freedom in the last few months confirm that this is still the order and that the formal nights are also the same? Thanks!
