Just came from a cruise in June on the SOS:

1. I do not think there is any golfing activities unless I overlooked it;

2. Pools were crowded and salt watery. I just tanned, no water for me;

3. Yes. Our formal night was tuesday after our CocoCay outing;

4. I just used the casino as a go through to other entertainment, not a gambler; Entertainment is great, do not miss the Quest game, HILARIOUS!!

5. This is a nice ship. I am sure there are better ones, but I loved it. A few unruly smells, but nothing that should ruin your cruise. This ship had a good mix of all age brackets. We had a few drunkards wanting attention, but you'll find that anywhere pretty much.

Great cruise, lots of fun!! I had a great time because I didnt make a big deal of the small stuff.

It is difficult to remember all your questions, but here goes...

I sailed on SOS just last October...

Yes, there is a formal night...Unfortunately, unless they changed the timing it is on the same night as Coco Cay. If you have main seating, I suggest getting there at least an hour early...the lines for pictures are long.

No, Golf on board.

Casino, - it fun but I would just write the ship a check for the amount that you are going to lose. The last night of the cruise is best to play the slots.

I have grown children, so I am not familiar with children's activities.

In general, SOS is a really nice ship. Also, if you do like to gamble,
when you get into Nassau, head for the Crystal Bay hotel and casino -
NOT THE ATLANTIS. It is about 15 - 20 minues away by taxi and will cost about $10.00 each way. Very nice taxi drivers.
Anyway, if you get there about 9 am, there is a 25cent Wheel of Fortune Machine that always seems to hit at the same time every day. It is on the right side of the casino about 1/2 way back near the Starbucks stand.

Good luck and have fun - SOS is great!
