any thing special about Liberty that can be shared? hidden gems about the ship?

thanks for the info, will you be posting a few pics of the sailing? I know I am forever and a day away from our sailing, but I am doing my research now. Watched a couple of ship tours. Looks like a great ship.

you are not the only one my friend

schedule update: Liberty of the Seas April 25th 2021 replaces our Brilliance sailing.

what shows are on the ship? I just booked her for 7 days in April 2021. I found out the end of the college semester was around when I booked a 4 night sailing on Brilliance. My wife and I decided to extend the sailing since there was no rush to get back.

I don't know 30 days seems a lot better than 480.....

zillion sounds better, just saying :)

Right, from what I have read/watched only the Epic has the split. I watched a ship tour of the Epic. Ship looked great, but that bathroom design is a killer. Not gonna happen.

I forgot that Celebrity did that as well. Interesting way of looking at it.

All of that makes sense. "As others have said, if you enjoy RCCL and its experiences then you will stay with them". I am already leaning towards RCCL as my cruise line of choice and I haven't sailed with them yet. I guess maybe I am thinking of those new to cruising, like I was when I booked NCL. I am hoping the experience I have with RCCL is as wonderful as it seems. I do think the cost of the package is getting out of hand though. I might not pay for it in the future and see what deals are on board when we set sail.

What is wrong with the restrooms on Bliss? I had friends on the Epic and that restoom/shower setup seems like a nightmare to me.

Ive sailed NCL and Disney. Disney only had 1 thing I liked about it. The DCL sailing hooked me on cruising. I really enjoyed NCL, but I am stoked about trying Royal.

Oh yeah again that's why I said "free" because its in the cost somewhere. When the overall cost is lower due to the different perks it could pull business away no matter how good the value of the overall cruise is with RC. I am 100% looking forward to sailing with RC. I want to see how awesome Oasis is going to be like after her Amplification. I am really excited to see Perfect Day as well.

100% agree with the mislabeling. I was annoyed when I saw it later, I still saved on the sailing though. Also, I want to be clear I am not advocating to change brands or anything. I am just curious what others are thinking about it :)

yeah that's why its "free". there is a gratuity charge that comes with that perk, same as with the RC package.

@Matt @WAAAYTOOO @Lovetocruise2002 @JLMoran Added a few tags for this question. Do you think the rise in the package will drive cruisers over to NCL where its "free"? When we were planning our honeymoon cruise in 2017 we booked with RC originally. I looked at NCL because friends of ours really enjoyed NCL. Their fare was cheaper with the perks they offered. Our daughter's fare cost us the taxes for her fare and our drinks were covered with the "free drinks" perk. I called RC to see if they would cut a deal to keep our business and I was told no. I wasn't expecting one, but thought why not try. So again will people balk at the price of the drink package and "jump ship"? I am just wondering your thoughts. I know RC is a business and money is needed to keep providing the entertainment value people expect with RC.

Oh no I am Gold and have a lot of cruising till I reach the lofty Diamond tier :) I do look forward to all the cruises it will take to get there!

how do the free diamond drinks work? Hit diamond status and then...…?

That is the price for my sailing on Oasis Dec 2020, I bought it at $54/pppd

I was looking at price, and Oasis sold me on it :)

I don't care where he is from, I am looking forward to some BBQ at sea.

This is something to keep an eye on. has anyone who was recently on a cruise noticed the drink cards being sold? I am wondering if holding out for them on a 7 day sailing would be worth it?

Oasis of the Seas Dec 13th 2020 Brilliance of the Seas April 22 2021

I wondered the same thing actually. I don't know if I will actually go there, but its good info to know if I forget my Kindle.
