vivavino Posted February 28, 2014 #28 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Greetings - I took advantage of the no-single supplement deal a few months back, and booked this. Combined with British Air miles for the return trip, and Southwest miles to get to FLL, it was a deal. Will be traveling with a friend, but in separate cabins..... and staying on in London for six nights afterward. It's been awhile since I've been on RCL. I have to say that I'm already annoyed at the number of marketing emails they're sending... I'm hoping they aren't that aggressive once on board. Looking forward to meeting everyone! David.

Rusty311 Posted April 8, 2014 #37 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hello everyone I booked this cruise with my friend David. My first time on this class of ship. Haven't cruised RCL in a while. I like the transAtlantic cruises. Have anytime dining. I am interested in the beach in St Martin by the air port - and St Martin has the best vanilla extract of anywhere - my usual souvenir. Will watch for the FOD posting and see everyone there. Saw the other CC line for this cruise - number of pages is too overwhelming for me to even start reading. Anyone find something important on that line I should know about? Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvlman Posted April 11, 2014 #38 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Did you meet up with Rodger, Martin, Jack, Gareth and Craig ? Hello everyone, I'm Fabio from Miami.. I just booked and am excited to join you all on this crossing. I love the idea of having our own dining table for late seating, if we are doing this, please count me in and let me know what I can do to facilitate this. Is anyone doing an independent tour in St. Maarten ? Id love to have a nice relaxing (away from the crowds) beach day. Ps, I know Martin, Roger and Jack ( I work with Martin in Miami) and have sailed with them on several voyages. Im looking forward to meeting great like-minded people...

I Plan on going to Maho Beach to watch the planes land and take off with a bunch of friends who are on the other roll call. Been to St. Maarten so many times I can't remember. Looking forward to all the sea days so I can lie around and of nothing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would mean departing early and self walk off the ship.

JPEvans Posted April 19, 2014 #46 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Did everyone hear Nassau was dropped from the cruise and now we are going to San Juan instead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingThom87 Posted April 20, 2014 Author #47 Share Posted April 20, 2014 i just seen this now on the main board, ive never been to San Jaun and have been to nassau a few times so was ok with the change , however the times seem a bit weird 4pm-11? makes it hard to plan for things with dinner etc unless u plan to eat out. has anyone else been to this port and if so can you suggest something to do between these times? if not i will likely stay on ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_p_brown Posted April 24, 2014 #48 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Thomon24, I have been to San Juan about 4 years ago. If I remember rightly there isn't much too do there. It's more of an old school town with tourist and their culture shops. I don't remember seeing a beach, but may of changed now. Personally I'm really disappointed Bahamas has been dropped, was really looking forward to it. The positive thing, as you mentioned is the hours there. If its like Explorer of the Seas, you will want to be back on the boat for dinner, as they hold a mid night BBQ buffet, ice sculpturing and disco on the top deck which was kinda cool, Being able to have a party on the top deck in shorts and t-shirts late at night. The food is a bit full on especially if you have eaten around 8.30. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The authorities in St. Thomas would require the ship to go through a lengthy inspection and passengers would not be let off till it was complete. Which could be 6 hours. So they made the decision to take Nassau off and put San Juan, which is a US territory so we can enjoy St. Thomas. And not sit on the ship all day waiting for the authorities.
