I have heard rumblings of a texting app...is this true? Looking for the best way to communicate on RCI cruise. Any ideas? I’m sure there is another thread somewhere but I can’t find it.

Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Wow- maybe I am easy to please. I'm shocked to hear some of the reviews for RC food. We are diamond with RC and have never tried another cruise line. Our food in MDR has always been outstanding. We love it. The service couldn't be better IMO. For example, the last 2 we went on Warm Chocolate Cake was not on the menu.....we love this dish for desert .... The next night our waiter had in for us made special. It's the little things I guess. But we could not be happier with the food.

Sorry all - what is MSC?

I would agree with Runner15km - St Martin is beautiful , beeches and all. But pretty strong currents and minimal great beeches for snorkeling. Any other stops?

I don't recommend using a TA- it is soooooo simple to do yourself on line and on phone. My experience with TA's is it is hard to get out of the original price. Best of luck.

Hello all! Just curious, we are booked on the Harmony In a few months. This is the first time we have booked a guarantee but the price was more reasonable.

That said, are there a lot of obstructed views in that category and are they likely going to stick us in one with an obstructed view? Does anyone know?

We are diamond class in crown and anchor, not sure if that would be considered. Thanks in advance for any insight....

Thank you for the quick response. I thinking of pre-purchasing again.

Sorry if this is all ready listed somewhere but I couldn't find it. Last time I pre purchased the select package as all I really want is the beer and a glass of wine occasionally. Is it cheaper or more expensive to wait till you get on the ship? Or is it the same? I heard that crown and anchor gets varying discounts on some ships but not for sure. Going on Allure again in June. Thanks for any insight you may have.

Nay- I'd rather watch grass grow

I'd be shocked if they stopped Labadee. That's their private area. They have put a lot of $$ in that place.

Question... Going on Anthem in June with kids, I had heard that the arcade games were free except the ones that you win prizes. Does anyone know if this is true? We've been on Oasis and Allure and this was not the case. Just curious....thanks in advance for any input you may have.

Or....you may not want to have all of this communication...just plan your days and meeting times or places. To be honest, I enjoy not using technology lol. It's vacation...bring me a lounge chair and a vodka and cranberry, see you at dinner.

Have cruised out of San Juan 3 times in last 5 years. Never a problem with the Taxi. Always felt safe and doesn't take too long. Don't do the transfer, it will be a bus, you will be waiting then waiting some more and after you wait a little longer you will finally leave for the boat. Loading and unloading and collecting bags is all a mess. Tell BIL to have a drink at the airport and relax.

The roller coaster is cool. It's a real coaster , meaning you control it. There's no linked roller coaster cars, it's just 1 car for 2 people and you control the brakes. I know that sounds crazy but it's pretty cool and perfectly safe.

The reason it went from free to a reasonable amount is because of the kids. Teenagers were coming in regularly and ordering everything they could and leaving most of it. Not to mention the rowdiness of the teenagers was making it unpleasant for other guests. It was extremely wasteful. Our head waiter told us this on the Oasis a few months back when talking with him. While I want kids to have fun, no point in wasting food.

Thank you all for your comments. We've settled on Central Park balcony this time. We leave Saturday June 6th. (This Saturday). So excited!

Thank you. I saw that but on other ships that is the karaoke bar. That's what it says it is on the website too.

Sports Bar? We have been on the Allure and there was a sports bar in the promenade. I don't really care but this time we have about 10 people going and a few gentlemen love their sports. I didn't see one when I searched the deck plans. Just curious...thanks in advance for your comments.

We like the balconies. In your opinion on the Oasis or Allure, which is better? The Boardwalk, Central Park or Ocean View? We've been on Allure and enjoyed our Boardwalk, now booking Oasis and trying to decide.

For most cruises we usually get to the terminal around 11am. They usually board around 1130. No problems waiting around earlier if you wish. Cable beach is about a 10 minute bus ride from the port. Its perfectly safe, done it several times. It's gorgeous. Lots of fun. There's also Atlantis right by the boat where you can take a water taxi to. There is a fee to spend the day there but it is totally worth it. It's amazing. It's a waterpark with a very nice beach. The hotel is worth a look too. We generally eat on the ship mostly but if you haven't had conch try it. It's the island specialty, and very good. You can buy it at several stands around the port. Make sure you go to straw market. As far as dining I would call or email now so they can put a note in for your request. I've never had a problem in the past. Bon voyage. Have fun

Our honeymoon was on monarch as well, in 2000. Southern Caribbean.

Have tendered several times on several islands ...never seen a bathroom. In most cases you spend more time loading and unloading than tendering.
