CruiszBug Posted July 17, 2021 #327 Share Posted July 17, 2021 49 minutes ago, long4acruise said: @CruiszBug I'd just selected the water pkg a when I booked as I drink lots of water and am doing a B2B. Evian is what's delivered for the pkg; an off-brand "pure water" as my onboard amenity,; thus I was very happy with the Evian. It may depend on the departure port and where food/supplies are provided from or brands they stock. I'd heard Freeport was doing the provisioning and saw that in many of their stores on my tour. The package is showing $17.70 for 12 cans of Dasani or $23.00 for 24 cans (plus an additional 18%). So I'll bet it is Dasani due to the different pricing. I'll keep my ear to the ground and ask again in a month or so to find out what water package contains on Adventure of the Seas. I have to wait until September so time may not be my friend if they are using up existing stock, lol! Maybe there is a store near the wharf that I can run get some Evian before we sail?

Did you see @HBCcruiserat the table next to the window? @Akina13came up to me at the bar, so that's how we connected. She knew where @HBCcruiserwas and pointed her out. @HBCcruisercame over to the bar for a little bit, then we all joined @HBCcruiserat her table by the window. Guess we'll just have to meet up on the ship tomorrow! Edited July 17, 2021 by MorganClark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3kidsncats Posted July 17, 2021 #332 Share Posted July 17, 2021 You all are making me glad we are connecting out of Miami for our flight to Nassau. We are on the last flight, but will be checked in already in LA so should be safe. Has to have n been some really stressed people at the airport if they were offering $1200 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We leave for The Bahamas, Thursday and also staying at Holiday Inn Express. So good to see all I will be doing in a few days time. Thank you for all the info. I'm at Holiday Inn Express right now and will be boarding Adventure of the Seas at noon today. HI Express is not too bad a hotel and is right across W. Bay St. from Junkanoo Beach (I highly recommend the Tiki Bikini beach bar & grill). Anyway, when you compare the rates with other hotels right in this same area, the HI Express stacks up very well. Nothing fancy here but a comfortable hotel that serves a free full (not just Continental) breakfast each morning. There's also a pool here but I never used it because I was always just across the street at the beach. I tell you what, I met a couple that is on our cruise that could not find a vacant hotel room (HI Express was full) and ended up at the Margaritaville Beach Resort just down the street. Margaritaville is about $400 per night. Ouch! No thank you. A 4 night stay at Margaritaville would almost pay for an entire cruise! Anyway, so looking forward to boarding the Adventure of the Seas tomorrow! Edited July 17, 2021 by MorganClark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I could've held up as well flying all the way out to Nassau, Bahamas from SoCal (especially with 2 daughters in tow!). It was awesome to finally get to meet you after all our communications here on CC and you know where else 😉. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganClark Posted July 17, 2021 #338 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Man, Holiday Inn Express dropped the ball this morning wrt their free breakfast. They picked a bad time to fall flat on their face. All the cruisers are in and the breakfast room looks like a bunch of unherded cats, looking for food. Breakfast is supposed to open at 7 am but at 7:30 (when I got here), nothing. No eggs, no breakfast meats, no pancakes and no french toast. On top of that, NO COFFEE! Aaaahhhh!! The horror!! (I get cranky without my morning coffee). But, it looks like HI Express has recovered. I smell eggs & bacon...

Good Morning, Jeff - I will. As long as I remember to carry my phone with me. I did not pack my camera. An older than dirt memory lapse on my part. I ctually remembered to pick up my phone off the desk, just not the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
