Spoely Posted June 14, 2014 #30 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Will crop pants work, do you think? My "long pants" are the dressy ones worn for dinner.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwright261 Posted June 14, 2014 #31 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Really pleased to see this thread, we just booked this for our Indy sailing in Sept. We're really looking forward to it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules815 Posted June 14, 2014 Author #32 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Will crop pants work, do you think? My "long pants" are the dressy ones worn for dinner.:) I have read here that crop pants aren't allowed, so I'm packing a pair of jeans with this tour in mind. Must have closed toe shoes, too.

Oak Hill Cruisers Posted June 14, 2014 #33 Share Posted June 14, 2014 DW got all access tour for me as a gift on the Mariner OTS. It was really cool to have champagne & cookies with the Captain & CD on the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules815 Posted June 14, 2014 Author #34 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) DW got all access tour for me as a gift on the Mariner OTS. It was really cool to have champagne & cookies with the Captain & CD on the bridge. That sounds awesome! Besides our reservation at Nachi Cocom in Cozumel, the All Access Tour is the only "excursion" my husband and I have booked for our upcoming B2B on FOS. He's ex-Navy, and a total ship geek. It seems like something he'll really enjoy, and I'm looking forward to it too. (Mariner is the only RC ship we've ever been on. Loved that ship!)

peteukmcr Posted June 14, 2014 #35 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Did it on Adventure recently during the eastbound TA. Yes, quite expensive (especially as we got offered segments as suite guests which I wasn't aware of before I booked) but still worth it. Only 9 in our group and we met at the theatre where we started the tour. We saw Behind the scenes of the theatre Bridge Studio B I-95 Engine control room Recycling centre Food storage Food sanitisation / prep Galley Crew cabins Crew dining room / bar / recreation areas Along the way we were given lots of information too. Ending up in the MDR for lunch and given chefs aprons and tote bags as souvenirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lejardin Posted June 15, 2014 #36 Share Posted June 15, 2014 great to hear some feedback. I just booked this for an upcoming cruise on the Allure..yep a little expensive, but I enjoyed the Behind the Scenes Tour on Carnival, so I have high expectations for this one. Though, I don't remember having to wear long pants...who takes long pants on a Caribbean cruise in the summer :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted June 15, 2014 #37 Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) I planned to book this last year when we were on the Rhapsody at $150.00pp. I didnt go ahead because I thought it was expensive. Considering it again for our forthcoming cruise on VOS and its now priced at $171.00pp. (I believe that Carnival charge $95.00pp.) Does anyone know if teenagers can do this by themselves without an adult? My son will be 15 and would love to do this tour. Not sure if I can afford for us both to do it, since we are paying for a quite a few shore tours.

On freedom June 1, 18 and under needed adult supervision on the tour. Was very well worth it. We saw the bridge, engine control room, kitchens, food storage, crew spaces, and the ice rink. As with others, I could have skipped the ice rink. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy Posted July 21, 2014 #42 Share Posted July 21, 2014 A month or so ago, I saw the tour available on-line for my Oasis cruise and booked it. I had a choice of days and times by doing it that way. We've done the tour on other ships and thought it was fantastic! The Oasis is different enough that we don't mind paying to take the tour again.

hebbie67 Posted July 21, 2014 #43 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I did the All Access tour on Indy a couple of weeks back. We met at 09:15 to fill out waivers and were given neck wallets (complete with RCI pen & keyring). There were 16 of us and there are only 2 tours per 2 week cruise. There were 2 teenage lads on our tour and I believe their father had been asked to accompany them. The tour lasted 4 hours and covered the following: Deck 4 & 5 Galley, with pastries, canapes & soft drinks in the MDR at the end Food storage areas Engine control room Backstage Theatre Backstage Ice rink Recycling/waste area I-95 crew corridor (no other staff areas, sadly) The Bridge It was a great experience and I would do it again on another ship seeing as the experiences appear to be so different. Sadly no champagne on Indy :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindyscruise Posted July 21, 2014 #44 Share Posted July 21, 2014 So if you are in a suite you also get this tour? does that mean I should not prebook the one online. I am new to a suite (our 40th anniversary special). Does anyone know if this is the same tour? should I book the one online? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am new to a suite (our 40th anniversary special). Does anyone know if this is the same tour? should I book the one online? Thank you The tours offered to suite guests are not the same as the All-Access tour. The suite guests may see the bridge, galley, and theater. The All-Access tour covers these and many more areas and takes over 3 hours. Edited July 21, 2014 by clarea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MountainGirl4 Posted July 24, 2014 #47 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Yep, it is that long because there is a break for lunch. We went on the Freedom of the Seas all access tour in October last year. There were only about 15 people and they start by having you order your lunch for the MDR. LOTS of walking The areas we saw were: The theatre and backstage The ice rink and back stage The HUGE kitchen and food storage (this is about 1/2 the tour) The anchor locker The bridge (and a greeting from the captain with an explanation of the area by him and the first mate) The engine control room The crew quarters and living area At the end we went to the Champagne Bar and were given a glass of champagne. It was well worth the money, plus we paid extra and got a deal that for 180 we got dinner in Portofino and Chops. "LIKE" went on all access tour on Freedom 7/12/14. Covered all the same places you mentioned as well as per-ordered lunch. Loved it. Reserved online before cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
