    Thanks for the TR. It sure seems that GOV is trending up. We look forward to our trip this fall.

    Thanks so much for your trip report! It's great to see some planned changes being implemented.

    I have a couple of questions if you don't mind.

    How late did the bar stay open? When did bar shut down, music shut down, etc...
    Were the food lines long? (in general) What time(s) do you usually eat?
    Did you do the pirate cruise? What did you think?
    If you don't mind, what is the upcharge for the suite vs the base room that the travel agencies sell? (I know it's posted here, just looking for consistencies)
    Buffet good/bad/in between?

    I may think of more...but it is very nice to hear that you had a fantastic time!
    ~Jill~ (and Jeff)

    Thanks for the great TR. And good to hear you'll consider going back! Quite the relief as we've booked to go in June!

    Did you see anyone wearing the coloured bracelets? Curious if that concept will take off!

    Bar closed at 1am
    Food lines were not long at all at any time. We normally eat dinner around 7pm.
    We didnt do the Pirate Cruise.
    The upgrade to the suite from a Spice room was about $70/day.
    The buffet was good for breakfast and lunch. Never had dinner there.

    Hope this helps!

    Great TR & Great Job !

    In depth and definitely touched on the topics first & foremost on the hearts & minds of those of us with TTR experience... Eating Sushi "topless" should really catch on back here in the good ol' USA (LOL).
    Thanks again Guys cus those trip reports on TripAdvisor are startin to get on my nerves!
    Sounds like if there's a problem, a little make "nice-nice" and askin for help from Valentina (or Adriana) and we can put the problems behind us and move straight on to the party...warp speed!:aetsch004:

    Yes, I'm curious about the colored bracelets too...it almost seems like a secret because nobody mentions them. Can you get more than one color to reflect a certain mood? Mood bracelets would be great actually.

    Great report! I've seen quite a few reviews stating how long it took to check in. Did you email Valentina the day before your trip to insure a smooth, wait-free check-in? Were there a lot of folks checking in at the same time?
