Cbandauskas Posted November 14, 2006 #52 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Cool Cruiser, I was on the same trip 11/05/06 (Radiance) as Robyn and they did have a lift but I only noticed it on the main outdoor pool at the 4ft end. Hope that helps and have a great time. This was our first ever cruise and we loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a pool lift :) I noticed it on the first day (it's red). One of the ladies in our group used a wheelchair at various points during the cruise (uses a cane mostly) and the crew went above and beyond to assist her. I just saw you will be sailing on Rhapsody - I can only comment on the Radiance.....maybe someone out there can tell us about the chair lift for sure on the Rhapsody??

Kjudge Posted November 15, 2006 #54 Share Posted November 15, 2006 My girlfriend and I were also on this cruise... We had a wonderful time... The ship was very clean, the food very good, the service was excellent, and the staff was very friendly and helpful... Anyone can find something wrong if they look long and hard enough... We will definitely cruise on the Radiance again ! http://community.webshots.com/album/555545622GRoFeX?start=0 Thanks for your pictures Mr. Breeze. Looks like you had a great time. Which tubing trip and did you book with RCCL or online? Thanks again, Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjudge Posted November 15, 2006 #55 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Okay - I think I finally have my land legs back.....:rolleyes: I had no "motion" issues after my cruise on the AOS - not sure why it's happening now??? The seas were so calm as well..... In any case, I will start my review in the morning....stay tuned! ckrobyn - excellent photos! They really make you feel like the vacation is almost here. I cant get enough of the pics and reviews. Thank you so much, Kathy P.S. your gala buffet pics were splendid. you must have gotten them before the vultures got in :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBreeze Posted November 15, 2006 #56 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Hi Kjudge... Glad you enjoyed the photos... We booked the tubing trip the day before on board the ship through RCCL... We docked in Mo Bay and had a really fun time tubing... I think they offer tubing trips out of Ocho Rios and Mo Bay on two different rivers...Our guides were a riot and alot of fun... If you go, be prepared to get wet and enjoy. Rusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBreeze Posted November 17, 2006 #58 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hi flyastrojets... Actual time tubing on the river was about 1 1/2 hours... We were picked up on the pier at 11:30 and dropped off at the terminal at 3:30... Take a waterproof camera if planning to take pictures while on the river... Have a great time, and tell those crazy guides we said hello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant get enough of the pics and reviews.Thank you so much, Kathy P.S. your gala buffet pics were splendid. you must have gotten them before the vultures got in :-) Actually those pics were from the "viewing" so no-one had touched any of the scrumptious food! Had I taken another picture an hour later, the pics would have been much different!! Funny thing was, we were the first in line to actually "eat" the buffet - first time I tried the Gala Buffet on any of my cruises - delicious to say the least :o Have a wonderful cruise on a great ship! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reason for sounding so persnickity about this is that I'm diabetic and wear an insulin pump, and while it is water resistant, and I have a pretty good system of keeping it dry, I may just leave it on the ship as I can go on shots for the few hours I'll be on the excursion if I'm very likely to wind up swimming for most of this excursion. :D Just curious. And thanks for putting up with my inquisitive mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBreeze Posted November 17, 2006 #63 Share Posted November 17, 2006 The tubes are quite large with handles on the sides and you sit very low inside the tube... If you happen to go swimming it's because you've jumped out of the tube, not because of the rapids, which are VERY tame... Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm JAZZED! Flight to FLL is tomorrow at 7:30AM. For some reason, getting up for early flights to a cruise is never a big problem in this house!
