Several specials. One on each port day and even one on the last sea day which surprised me

We used Uber from FLL to our hotel in Miami for under $40. We used jiffy Jeff for return from port to FLL for $60 plus driver tip and if I had it to do over again I would not do jiffy again.

For those with experience on this excursion, did you book through the ship or on your own? How many people in total were on the excursion?

I like cameralensrentals.com. Very good service and flexibility.

There is some benefit to owning a brand that friends or family members own- you can borrow lenses from them [emoji4]. I myself chose Pentax. Two big reasons were in body stabilization and weather resistance. Check out the dpreview website for great info, reviews, side by side comparisons on multiple brands.

We found the ships doctor to be very reasonable on HAL. We were on a 41 night cruise (2 days in of course!) and both our kids got ear infections one day after the other. Doctors cost was less than our kids Doc in Seattle. The antibiotics were probably on the higher side as all out of pocket versus adjusted by insurance but with the next kid getting the same ear infection he was able to finish off the remainder of the bottle.
It was funny being on HAL - The doctor and nurse LOVED seeing our kids come in - They squealed "oh we NEVER get patients this young, its soooo fun!" :)
Wait, do you mean one kid finished the other kid's antibiotic prescription?

I have an 18-135 and I love it. I find that unless I am specifically trying to use a different lens, the 18-135 is on my camera almost all the time. Great for traveling when you may want a lighter bag.

We did our specialty dining reservations at 7:30 one night and we dropped them off at 7 when they reopened. Another night we did specialty dining at 6 and dropped them off before 5 and they went to windjammer with the AO staff and other kids.
-
So if you have your kids at adventure ocean before five they will be taken to the windjammer for dinner as a group with the AO staff. But they are in a small private section of the windjammer with fewer selections (pizza or chicken tenders). I'm sure the options vary a bit but it wasn't the windjammer my kids wanted to go to.
Dining room pickup was at 6:45 outside of Grand.
If your child has any kind of limitations (even temporary or possible issues), let them know. My son had a cast removed the day before we left and his thumb was still a little bit sore sometimes with activity or if he bumped it. I was surprised when he asked me to tell them it was hurting and the staff member told him to let her know if it hurt and then he wouldn't have to participate in the sports games. So essentially they HAVE to participate in the activities going on.

Will you be on an Eastern or a Western? I have these for the Western from two weeks ago. Possibly missing one day though.

The only "interesting" things on the oasis class ships NOT on the freedom class are (unless I am missing something?), in order:
More specialty dining options/1920s party (pay more to pay more)
The up-and-down-bar
Central park and the boardwalk
and the water show.
freestyle soda is on the freedom but not the other 2 I believe.
imo go with the $499pp before it's gone and spend the extra 200 on something worthwhile.
Don't get me wrong, the Oasis class ships are nice ships... but so are the freedom class ships.
And the Oasis class has the zip line.
-
The ship docks in Falmouth, Jamaica, no tender. I can't help with a guide recommendation.
When we boarded we went to the dining desk and asked for a reservation for 5:30 pm and asked for it to be a standing reservation for every night, same table, same server. This made each night much faster with no waiting, just walk right in to the prearranged table.
-
Yes! I had one on oasis last week.
-
Some of the bars (like the one on the boardwalk) have a big water dispenser you can you but you would have to use the cups provided rather than fill your own bottle directly. If you ask a bartender they will fill your water bottle for you.

Posted
Thanks for the review. Sounds like a fun trip
