I am enjoying your review and pictures so far, and I will probably have to see the rest tomorrow, but while viewing the pictures, I had a question.

 

The Dreamworks parade, does it happen every day, once a week (time/times)? The reason I ask, it looks like it gets really crowded , and I want to make sure I can get close to get pictures like you did.

It does get crowded and I believe it is held twice during the cruise but there are characters everywhere and a character breakfast as well that we did not make. We stood right in front of the freestyle coke machines at Sorrentos and had a great view.

That thatched hut across the pool is the swim up bar

The thatched hut in the pic is a private table above the pool - awesome spot but very difficult to come by!

The pool is to the right in this pic and it looks out into a "dance area" where they were having a scavenger hunt ala Quest!

Aaaahhhh...lots of blended drinks! And ice cold on a very hot day.

And they have some nice couches in the front area of the bar - by the way there are 2 bars. Once right when you enter the place and the one in the back by the pool

The giant margarita glass is the hot tub!

Loving your review & your pics are great! :D The port at Falmouth looks really nice now that they have it all finished. We were there when they were still building.

Can anyone use the pool at Margaritaville? :confused: It wasn't even started when we were there. Thanks again for taking the time to do this review. :)

Great review and pictures! Very excited to be sailing on FOS in September.

 

Question about Labadee. I've been there once before in 2007, pre- renovations. Has there always been a pier in Labadee? We were there on Mariner and I thought we tendered over. I know we for sure tendered in Coco Cay. We haven't been there in a while either!

I think the pier in Labadee is only a couple/few years old. CocoCay is still via tender.

What happened to the lady diving through the pool????

 

She is still there. I cant remember if I took a pic of her or not but if I didn't I would be surprised. I am halfway through the pics so she may show up later!

The pool is open to anyone. I don't think you even need to eat at the restaurant. I just walked in and grabbed a lounge chair for awhile until I got too hot then found a bar stool. I guess it is first come first served as to availability although there were always lounge chairs available and I was there for awhile!;)

Is the Craft Market the only place where you can purchase Falmouth items, or are there any other craft booths, shantys anywhere else?

 

There are a few other places there to buy items. They have the same format everywhere. Tshirts, ceramic stuff, glassware, etc.

No, the last pic of the ceiling in the promenade has the pool. On the ceiling the fake woman diving through the pool and coming out of the ceiling. She is missing.
