That's amazing!!

Too bad they're not wearing sunglasses :D

We liked Rockley. Bar, bathrooms, chairs, umbrellas. Fun times!

DW & I are on the Oct 3 Adventure. Seems like a nice group with a nice itinerary - 5 different beaches!

We're in!

Thank you everyone! Bermuda is cancelled, friends are sad but Adventure it is :)

We really do love sailing out of San Juan and the islands that we are going to

Hi, I am interested in taking a southern cruise and have narrowed it down to Princess - Royal Princess or Royal Caribbean - Serenade of the Seas. Both are a 10 day Southern Itinerary from Ft Lauderdale. We have not sailed either cruiseline, i know this is a RCCL thread but please be objective.

 

The Serenade goes to Tortola, Basseterre, Roseau, St. Johns, Philipsburg. While the Royal Princess Aruba; Curacao; Grenada; Dominica; St. Thomas, Princess Cays.

 

We have not been to any of the ports other than Philipsburg, so most everything will be a new port. We are in our early 30s so we are looking for things to do while on board, and decent entertainment/shows to keep us occupied. To those who have either sailed the cruise lines/ships or the ports which would you recommend. Any other advice is also appreciated, thanks in advance

ooh tough call--Either way it is a win but I think would go Princess

1. Both hit 2 of my favorite Caribbean islands, Tortola (Jost Van Dyke), Antigua, Aruba and Curacao

2. I have cruised more with Princess due to the itineraries and price not because I don't like RCCL

3. I find that Princess usually has less kids

Ok-we have decided to go on a cruise for our anniversary and have to choose by 7/19 which one. We have 2 booked and have to cancel one.

A little about us:

-Have been on most major lines

-Love beach days and sun-not into sightseeing

-41 y/o no kids (we are the late night crowd )

-this will be our 14th and 18th cruise

-we don't care about the food quality

-right now the flights are pretty much the same

-we are going to Costa Rica for the holidays

-we will be taking a red-eye the night of 10/2 either way

Anniversary cruise first week of October. (DH pretty much wrote the below when he asked the opinion of random friends so I added notes to ask the experts :D )

Choice A:

5 day cruise out of New Jersey to Bermuda- ship Liberty of the Seas. 1 sea day. Docked for 2 days in Bermuda (so can hang out and party all night long). Then sea day back to NJ.

Get back on Thursday. Spend Thurs/Fri/Sat in NY will good friends who moved to Brooklyn a couple of years ago. We have been to NYC and seen the sights so this will be a leisurely fun weekend staying with friends.

note: we have never been to Bermuda

13 years since last in NYC

Choice B:

7 day cruise from San Juan Puerto Rico--Adventure of the Seas. A usual 7 day with great ports that we have been to. All except St. Kitts which would be new.

-note: this is pretty much our favorite 7 day itinerary

-we honeymooned on this ship

GO!

I'm on the Ruby tomorrow. Is Atomic a band? If so what kind of music?

Thanks

Clear out the DVR.

I just finished doing this, I thought I was the only one :)

Yes, I always bring ours to use in the cabin to get ready for dinner. I also bring to the beach and use in a "neighborly" fashion not to annoy others unless of of course they like it, then you may meet new friends :)

There is thread that someone just had that cabin and the toilet would not flush the entire trip.
