When you call Air2sea you can still select a flight that comes in the day before. Just tell the agent on the phone you want to do that. I did this with my last cruise just before the shutdown.

Thanks for sharing. Ill be on Oasis in February in a 2br ATS so I'm full of FOMO reading along!

Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy looking at your great photos.

Thanks!!, Things have been so busy around he house I have not had much time to hang out on the blogs. Things are getting back to normal, So I'll be here much more. I have so many live blogs to read and catch up on, and a cruise to go on in 146 days (waaaytooo far away) so my own to write as well!

@Steve in OrlandoI've done dolphin encounters at both Nassau and Cozumel, but not Sea World. Reading the description of the Sea World experience it sounds very similar to what we did in Nassau at Atlantis. In Cozumel, there was the opportunity to be pulled by their dorsal fin, pushed by a pair of dolphins by your feel, and other close encounters. If you have had this experience before at sea world, I don't think you will find any added benefit. I've done two dolphin experiences only because the one at Nassau was without the kids with us. When we were in Cozumel, we had the kids too, and they had not done a dolphin experience before, so that's why we did it again. Doing the push/pull, while neat, is not so amazing that had the kids not been with us we would have done a different excursion. Hope my rambling answer helps....

No it isn't.

@DanielleB Welcome to the blogs. I don't exactly remember what I paid. I do know that we had a great time and that's all that really matters to me. The higher the price, the more "interactions" that you have with the dolphins, so if the kids are really interested in doing this, I would pull the trigger and go for it. When we were there, we had a lot of fun with the dolphins etc, the food was good, drinks were decent and then went snorkeling after so it was a good day.

We were there on our last liberty cruise. We did the dolphin thing, so most of everything was included. The food we had was decent, the drinks were okay - they weren't using top shelf booze by any means. There are plenty of areas for swimming etc. We brought our own snorkel mask that we got from amazon. They are really great, don't take up much room in the luggage, and saves us a cost for gear down the road at other destinations Here is a link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VRHNSFD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

We did the VIP excursion at Chankanaab on out last liberty cruise. We had a good time. The manatee encounter is brief. You are standing on a platform and the manatee swims around while the keepers feed it lettuce and you can touch its back. I believe that the photographer took pictures. As far as the photo package, it was in the undreds of dollars and was not worth it to us. For a ball park price, on their website booking tickets on your own, adding the photo package was $50 per person for 10 pictures

ah, Endicott is where my friend went, which is also in Beverly. Let me know if your daughter wants more information.

This is interesting. A friend of ours had a daughter just graduate from the school I believe you are talking about and was in their art program. I should reach out to her and see if she had the same experience. I usually take online reviews with a grain of salt because people are typically more apt to leave negative reviews than positive ones. If your daughter is interested, I bet I can put her in touch with my friend. PS, I'm glad you are all healed up, and I'm never grossed out by pictures!

I've been having the same problems too for quite some time now as well. The beverage package intern must be at it again.

I personally have not done it, but many have done the day pass at the British Colonial Hilton and have had a great time. I have kids, so we always tend to end up at Atlantis for the water park and have a blast.

Entertainment becomes bookable much closer to your sail date. Excursions for your TA may also take longer to show up considering everything that is going on. I have an Oasis sailing in 2023 that shows excursions in some of the Caribbean ports, but my Norway Cruise in July 2022 has nothing yet.

You should edit your cart. The cruise planner is confusing with their language. For the day bed as well, its per daybed, so you would book under 1 person, and then have access to the up to 4. Technically, the way you did it, you just purchased two day beds. For the second part of your post, yes, you can invite others to join you in your cabana. In the cruise planner, you purchase it under 1 guest name. When you get to Coco Cay, you will be assigned a cabana number, and you will check in at the entrance to the cabana area. Once there, the attendant will give you wristbands, and ask you how many people will be joining you. I believe I have also been asked names of those people as well.

@UDPrincessmy kids are older than yours, my youngest was almost 5 for his first cruise, but have had a good time in the Adventure Ocean programs, so utilize their services for some free "babysitting." Go through some of the live blogs. There have been a few of us with kids that have sailed star class. (i'll try to find some to link here) One common thread with all of them are that the Genies are good at making the kids feel special. Edit: Here is one I remembered about with some younger littles

Heather and I were talking about this cruise the other day. I couldn't believe it, but, she FORGOT that we were star class, let alone neighbors for this one!

mmmmmmm escargot......

I fully blame you and @WAAAYTOOO and all of your blogs for the fact that my next three cruises are all star class! Of course however, I say blame, and Heather says thanks!

Hey @Lovetocruise2002, take 2 for a birthday/inaugural cruise?

Check out my Liberty Live blog. We were in the two bedroom grand suite. The balcony is the same size for all of the 2br suites so the deck doesn't matter. One thing to consider, is that the decks step back as you go higher up, so the deck above you can see down onto your balcony. This wasn't an issue for us, because everyone was friendly, we had nice talks with those passengers and I wasn't doing any "no tan lines" sunbathing?

I think they must have hired this guy to do all the stone work. All joking aside, having all these small issues is frustrating and I hope they get corrected quickly for you. Its a big project and needs to be done correctly!

This is correct. I've added someone months after an initial booking, and they are paying the same rate as the original passengers.

Cafe Promenade on Anthem serves Starbucks coffee, and is included in the beverage package, so you can get your latte fix there with no problem.
