I always take my drivers license and ship card. They never have been concerned about my kids IDs

I'm with CB at sea. What are you asking?

I highly recommend the guava juice in the mornings. The orange juice (on the lido) is not a true orange juice so don't get your expectations too high. But the juices served in the dining room taste better.

The tea that they serve is instant and quite nasty. I usually cut it with lemonade if I'm desperate to drink something other than water. Be brave and bring your own 12 pack of soda on board and you can request a glass of ice in the dining room and enjoy with your meal

How hard was it to get a table in the buffet area for breakfast and lunch?

 

On Sea Days, were there chairs available on the outside decks?

 

Did you enjoy the cruise?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

When we were on the dream, using chairs on The lido was very difficult. If you want a really good chair by the pool, get there by 7 AM on the first or second day. Chair hogs are a real problem

I hope you arrive safely home. What was your favorite meal on the cruise ship?

If you have thicker hair, bring conditioner. Between the salt water and the wind, my hair is a tangled mess

Agreed. On the phone ONLY. Put one adult in each room and rearrange when you get there. We have 4 kids so we do this all the time.

He will LOVE it! My kids beg and beg to go there. They have time with Xbox, wii, dance off's, free play. It really is a lot better than sitting on a deck chair and enjoying the view

I did the Sunshine last year and loved it. But I'm looking forward to the Magic next October. The Sunshine has a lot of small areas and tight spaces, so don't plan to be in a hurry. But I'm also looking forward to eating at Guy's barbecue on the Magic

Honestly you can't choose badly with a cruise. So enjoy whatever you choose!

Just did Vista and have Magic planned for next year. I don't think you can go wrong with either.....base it on the better itinerary.

How did you like the Vista? Did you think the main areas were big enough?

The patch made my throat so dry and scratchy. And then I made a terrible mistake and rubbed my ear and then touched my eye...which landed me with a very widely dilated pupil in my eye and horrible vision for hours.

Then lucky me, I found out that I don't get seasick that easily. So I only take meclizine if I start feeling really bad.

If the sea is calm you may not need much

As long as you get there before boarding closes, you can get on the boat. Entering the building to check in is only at your time and beyond.

They're just tired of 400+ people showing up before boarding starts and the no where for them to wait inside the building.

Merry Christmas' Eve to you! Just a note to let you know I am loving your Alaskan cruise review and hope that you are feeling much better by now. But if not, rest! Take care of yourself. And know that a fellow nurse is thinking of you! :) Johanna

So glad I'm not the only one struggling to find this. Mine is late April, on the Pride, and it's not there either. It's so annoying because showing up at 1:30, with 4 starving bored kids, is not an option. And I don't want to buy another meal when they can eat on the boat! *ok* rant over!

Did you have a mandated check-in window? Or did you just show up early or late?

The reason I'm asking is I thought there was a specific check in window, but my cruise for the Pride in April, has no where to do a check-in time. And I've cruised multiple times so I know where to look for it

Pay for the social package for you and him on both phones. I dare say he will want to keep up with friends back home. Plus you can message him on Facebook messenger

Thank you everyone, I got them Pina Colada Coffee beans!

I was on that ship. Believe me, waking up to the emergency announcement MAN OVERBOARD was the worst wake up of my life. We jumped out of bed, and raced out to the balcony. Eventually the ship slowed down, and a rescue boat was lowered and began searching for the lady.

It seemed that a beacon of sorts was thrown over at the approximate spot of the jump. That was where we circled for most of the morning.

I was told later that people on the lower decks could hear the hysterics and crying of the family members who had witnessed the jump.

After 2.5 hours, we finally went to bed, and tried to get some sleep. When we woke up in the morning, we saw the helicopter circling through the air.

My husband was going to do the "Behind the Scenes tour" and they allowed him to cancel it since they couldn't go to the Bridge with the events going on. Actually, half of the people cancelled it too. The ones who remained to do the tour, got a 50% discount since they could only do half of it.

I will say that the Captain and Benjamin (cruise director) did an amazing job making announcements and keeping everyone informed throughout the night and morning. And even though we didn't hardly move for the 8'ish hours, the captain was able to get the Ecstasy back to the port in time.

I don't want this to sound discouraging, but please consider what those people might like before you buy them something made locally. Many times we've seen locally made things yet when we think about what it would look like in our house or if we would even put it out, we decide not to get it. Just a thought.

That's why I asked about coffee. I hate another dust-collector in my house, but a nice specialty coffee or treat would be something that wouldn't need to be kept for years to come.

My advice would be to take a walk down to the straw market (it's not very far), and buy them something that is actually handmade, rather than some commercial souvenir that's sold in at least a dozen stores in downtown Nassau.

 

Or, if they like Pandora, there is a store very close to the port. I got the blue murano that says "Bahamas" in Nassau this summer.

Now I want the Pandora Bahamas charm for myself! LOL [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

This is perfect! Thank you so much!!

Any suggestions for gift ideas in Nassau for 2 of my girlfriends? Is there a specialty coffee or something particular to Nassau that would be a good thank you gift (I owe them big time)

Alcohol is not an option.

Hope everything works out for you.:D:D:D

Me too! Thank you!

Security on a ship is not like on a plane.

There is no "liquids rule". Bring on what you need!

No worries!

They're not going to snag it since they'll see it's a liquid and make sure I'm not smuggling alcohol on board? That's where I'm confused.

How do I bring this medicine on board? It's in liquid form and I really need it. I have documentation from my doctor that it's on my medication list, but it's an OTC med so there is no prescription.

Any suggestions??
