We let each venue (Chops, Giovanni, Playmakers & Casino) know that dispenser was empty. We didn't follow up immediately, however, on subsequent visits to each the the dispensers were functioning properly.

Currently cruising on Odyssey and have found numerous Purell hand sanitizer stand dispensers empty outside specialty restaurants and casino. Just curious if this is ship specific or have others found this to be the case elsewhere?

When cruising, we usually take the UDP for our the weekend provide a tip at each service. Recently, we went on a 4 night cruise and decided to take advantage of the Diamond BOGO first/second night offer where you only pay for one person. An 18% gratuity was added to the bill. At restaurants on land I'm accustomed to tipping on the 'entire' amount if any discount was applied. For example, on a BOGO meal I'd simply tip on the amount before discount (ie. double the tip). So on our cruise I used the same logic and added an additional 18%. Service and food were great and it was well worth it. Now we're heading out on another cruise and I realized that the UDP total charge includes an 18% gratuity (never really paid attention before). Does anyone know if that gratuity goes directly to the specialty dining staff? Since we also prepay gratuities for the cruise, do specialty dining staff get a piece of that or does it go to MDR which we aren't using? Just curious.

You're a lucky man! Wife and I sailed our first cruise in 1987 in an Oceanview room, she was climbing the walls and would never accept anything but balcony after that.

I didn't want to be denied boarding on my January cruise

Mailed passport for renewal on 9/20/23, received new passport 10/23/23. I did pay for expedited processing through on line website https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports.html

Thanks for all the Liberty reports. In the past we've been on Indy & Freedom and loved them both. Great Diamond (oops, Crown) Lounge. Looking forward to trying out Liberty for first time in January. Honestly, I was a little concerned with condition but these thoughts have put me a ease.

Great. Thank you
