for taking the time to post the Cruise Compass, and for your review. Will be on this ship 27 Feb with only one island change that being Dominica instead of Martinique. Nice to know a little about AOS before setting foot on her, thanks again!

hoping you'll post days 3, 5 and 6 of the Cruise Compass - they are very helpful - will be on AOS Feb 27, with only one port being different! Can't wait.

Thanks for posting your review.

Good Afternoon Drake,

We'll be in St Croix on Feb 28, '16 - I think I've read that Sunday's are family day in St Croix, will there be any stores open when we're there? Also, does your buddy Prince do private tours for a small group of 4?

It's nice when you can ask a local for info, thanks for the info you have posted previously.

261 days and hrs until we're on Adventure of the Seas! Can't wait

For your wealth of information. Just finished reading this thread and it's been most helpful , as I along with 3 others will be sailing on AOS in Feb 2016. Not my first time on RCCL but my first on AOS and with a balcony. We're doing St Croix, St Kitts, St Marteen, Dominica and Barbados.

My question - Are the Cruise Compass the same for each itinirary and activities on the ship the same as well? I'd like to know if they have a themed night where you should pack something for that particular night.

Thanks in advance.

Is there a place in Galveston that will hold your luggage AFTER a cruise? I don't want to drag my luggage around after we get off the ship. Our flight home doesn't leave until 7 p.m., so I'd like to spend some extra time in Galveston if it's possible.

if you're thinking about walking to the port with several pieces of luggage from the hotel - I wouldn't do it. The taxi ride from the hotel to port is about 5 min (seriously) and about $3/4 per person. We stayed at the same hotel, as you , 2 yrs ago. We did a lot of walking to different areas, but I wouldn't do it with lots of luggage, the sidewalks weren't in the best of shape. Hope this helps some.

I have the age (55) and years (30+) and can retire at any time - I love my job!, great boss, and at present the economy sucks - so why would I want to give up a good job that pays well and I get 6 wks of leave a year - don't get me wrong I want to retire but I'm looking at the whole picture - in other words, I'll know when the time's right to put in the paperwork - we have to do the paper work at least 120 days from the day we want to retire.

I would say the one I recently participated in on NCL in Jan 09 was definitely rated X - and it all depends upon the Activity Director and their staff! But everyone who participated had a blast!!
