M&JfromSDL Posted January 25, 2015 Author #151 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Did you happen to notice how much a bag of laundry was onboard and if they offered a special at any point during the cruise? We are sailing on her in a few weeks and are considering a B2B.Thanks!!! Sent from my iPhone using Forums I did not do laundry on the ship. I did use the dry cleaning service though. The prices were kind of high. If I remember it was something like $3.50 a shirt to press. I washed the dress shirts I planned to wear at home, then had them pressed on the ship. I had them dry clean my tuxedo as well. Loving your review, I thought the over the water cabanas are over the water? Yours looks like it is up on the beach. I am curious as we have over the water one booked in March andit looks different. Can you tell me what your cabana number was. Thanks again for such a great review so far. Dawn We had an "accessible" over-the-water bungalow (notice the ramp). I believe it was cabana #10. You're correct...it was not "over-the-water" but I actually preferred how it entered into the water as compared to cabanas that were actually "over-the-water."

Paulette3028 Posted January 25, 2015 #152 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Watched Indy leave today on a 6 day itinerary....in a few weeks I will be on her for her 8 day itinerary.....you r helping me get ready for my cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlineMom Posted January 25, 2015 #153 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Love the review so far! And your pictures are great! Thanks so much for taking the time to do it. We'll be on the Indy in March for the same 8-day itinerary so it's all very helpful. We're in a GS (with kids in a connecting balcony) and are hoping to reserve one of the Barefoot Beach cabanas on Labadee. I didn't even think about our chances being less with another ship in port! We've only been to Labadee once - on Allure for spring break last year - and were the only ship that day so it just never crossed my mind. I just decided to check and it looks like, this time, we'll be there with Grandeur as well. Bummer - cuts my chances in half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent an email to the concierge to reserve one for us for our April cruise. He said he would. Email address is ID_Concierge@rccl.com. Raj is the concierge now and at least through our cruise. I emailed the concierge on Freedom when we were going to Nassau Bay and he also reserved one for us. With 2 ships in port, I would do it as soon as possible.

Rare perfect match Posted January 26, 2015 #159 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Your pics of Labadee are really beautiful! I can't wait to get there! I loved the pic of the two of you on the ramp leading to your cabana. There was a woman in the water behind you with her camera, taking a picture, probably of her own family in the water behind you, but it looks like she was taking a picture of you. I'd love to see how that one came out! I am also glad that Stuffed Porter got to enjoy the cabana! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeditden Posted January 26, 2015 #161 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Love the review. Good to get another couple's perspective around my age. (No offense to the older generations heh) Did this cruise last March and had a blast. If you go back to St Maaretn, look into Capt Bob's Boat Tour. The boat goes so fast your wiffe's heat issues will go bye bye :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me it was too early to confirm a cabana but that he'd note my interest and be in touch a week or so before our sail date. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jes Scott Posted January 27, 2015 #166 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Yay. Thank you thank you.!! [emoji9][emoji1][emoji1][emoji9]I thought we were automatically out because we are not in a suite, but Raj emailed back and said he would reserve one in my favor with more details soon. Without you all I would have never even tried! Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaMS Posted January 27, 2015 #167 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thank you for the great review! We will be on this cruise leaving March 28 :) I have health issues with heat also so I can feel for your wife. I will be trying for a cabana on Labadee too. I can't do all day in the sun.

Without you all I would have never even tried! Are there cabanas on Labadee other than the ones on Barefoot Beach (reserved for suite guests)? Edited - as I think I answered my own question! I see now that there are Nellie's Beach cabanas that can be reserved by non-suite guests. Raj handles requests for those too?

There is shade to be found on Labadee! My family was there for spring break last year not in a suite so we couldn't reserve a cabana. We were off of the ship early and found 4 chairs in a great spot on the beach with fantastic trees nearby that provided plenty of shade on and off throughout the day.

mickev99 Posted January 29, 2015 #174 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Does Indy carry Starbucks products in the Cafe Promenade? On the Freedom, it wasn't an actual Starbucks store, so you could use your Royal Replenishment package to get any of the beverages, so I was wondering if it is the same on Indy. Thanks!
