__________________Have never been able to bring a steamer on board RCCL..sorry.

I was supposed to be on this one with you all...We had to change as we have a wedding to attend in Dallas. But we are going to be on the serenade for our wedding anniversary in March. We have early flight then also. Its been changed twice by USair. So going for it. Just planning on express walk off.

Have a great time.

Hey Christie, I haven't seen you around here a lot lately. It isn't like the days on the first, and best, "Explorer Thread".

 

I have been thinking about cancelling our upcoming Allure cruise because of the ship's propulsion issues. After reading this thread I may rethink that. Now I picture the sail date approaching and, instead of packing suitcases, me sitting here posting on CC about how upsetting it is!

I know OB...one of my favorite threads....and of course the Adventure thread...Christie started one of the most read threads on cc....

Its about a half hour ride to the airport. If you do carry off yourself you should be alright.

Thanks for the link. It definitely makes you smile.:)

I love that too....very cool...missed hearing that...watched the Allure sail away

love watching sail away....now if we could only get a webcam in san juan....lol maybe santa could arrange one....

awesome pictures...watched the webcam. exciting to see you arrive

So so sorry to hear this Christie!!! I know first hand how much you love the Explorer. While we haven't cancelled a cruise we sometimes flip them to another date to accommodate what ever has come up in our world. Being a parent caretaker has its challenges for sure. I am glad you are on the mends. Seems like this past year has had its medical challenges for us all. I watched sail away on the the cruise we were to be on and had to change and I missed sailing with Meg, Radio and the mrs. and MedicKen..but I got to live it thru Radio's live report.

Look forward to boarding the Quantum. You never know when a cruise opportunity just might happen for you....

Glad to know you are doing alright and looking forward to cruising again.

perhaps just reboot your computer or clear your cookies...no problems here..I can see all 6 future reservations. No problems...havent had any problems either...but gee have seen some really poor attitudes on here and its not customer service at royal caribbean either...

walgreens must have ran out of chill pills or something...

We love staying at the Hampton Inn...just minutes to the port...free shuttle with the flamingos on it...to the hotel and also to the port....excellent breakfast in the morning....and great wifi....love the staff.

small shopping center nearby for your last minute things....

Ahhhh watched you all go under Bay Bridge about 607 tonight on the bay bridge webcams....I was yelling to the hubby...there goes Radio, Meg, Ken....whooo hoooo thought I was going to miss this as the light was going down quick....

Thanks for taking us all with you!!!

They are two of our closest cruise friends and are already on board, they joined the ship in Malaga on th last Mediterranean cruise

thank you for sharing this with us!! They are fascinating gentlemen and we have enjoyed them being closeby our tables for dining each evening. We have done two back to backs on the adventure and have another one coming. We were curious if they would return with the ship porting elsewhere. Great news for sure.

I should have booked Adventure for our next cruise. Allure, with its less than awesome itinerary and new propulsion problems, is now looking like a bit of a poor choice.:rolleyes:

its okay to switch its okay to switch......

I head off on my TA next week!!

 

Please pop any questions you might have and I will do my best to find the answers for you. Please put your questions via this link so I have everything in one place!!

 

Soooo excited!! Will aim to post daily....

it would be interesting to know if our favorite two gentlemen from Spain will be back on board as the ship is in a new location. They love the Adventure.

Let us know if you see them onboard...they are second seating diners always a two top near the captains table by the pole...I can see them now with their outfits.

Its also referred to as the fisherman's platter and isn't even a chef's suggestion for the evening

Mark

Can't wait to hear about this fabulous week....and you have some great buddies sailing along too....

It's coffee time for sure....

Ken and Meg have a wonderful time....

Enjoy and congratulations....

have a great time!

thank you for these amazing pictures. I so enjoy seeing how they transform our ships in such short periods of time. We so enjoyed the Rhapsody...now have to check out this vision cruise out of fort lauderdale.

I would just like to thank all of my great cruising friends that I have met over the years from sitting at the bigger tables our agent put us in. I have loved all of your stories and yes some nites we closed the doors enjoying our coffee but without your wealth of experiences we may not have tried new places, new ships, or perhaps felt comfortable to try new things in strange countries to us on our own.

I would miss this....yes it is my vacation and I eat every day of the year with my family..sure is nice having guests at my dinner table with some fascinating stories .

All Things Adventure of the Seas is the thread and there is a long one several years old and the hosts created part two...enjoy well worth the reading....

Enjoy your adventure on the Adventure of the Seas....great ship, great food, excellent crew!!!

Anyone here recently off AoS out of the UK tell me if the Solarium Bar was open during the afternoon of embarkation day? Trying to fix a venue for a CC Meet.

Linda:

are you going to try the Quantum next year?

I haven't seen anyone post on the Solarium Bar yet but I will keep watching for you!

usually the second evening is first formal night. We have had the second formal night on the friday evening as well. Been on two back to back vacations on her and excellent choice for your cruise.

There is a great thread about the adventure also...just search for the adventure of the seas...

lots of great advice and experiences.

We live here in the northeast and we fly down a day early. While the ship may not depart until 830pm...muster drill is at 6pm and all aboard is before that for guests that went off the ship for the day doing consecutive cruising..

lots of great hotels in several different areas and the old San Juan is just a short cab ride away. We depart from the Pan Am Pier and not the one in old San Juan. Carnival is usually parked there for their departure.

We can't wait until the end of January for another great two weeks and Superbowl Sunday again!!

We are diamond plus and in June had to give them our crown and anchor numbers and proof of status..took two seapasses. After a few minutes...we were at the Bellagio doing this....no problem....here are your platinum cards. Be reminded...their system renews every october so when we go in january we have to take once again I suppose. Now when on the Rhapsody in August we had to choose between rccl benefit or MGM...hadn't heard that part before so we didn't get drink coupons...

So love this ship and crew. Can't wait to sail on her again the end of January for two weeks. Sounds like you had my hubby's favorite bartenders at the cafe promenade....they are so so terrific!!!

thanks for sharing. my son and daughter in law were on the cruise before you and really enjoyed it....mentioned some of the same items you did as well.
