I just said this my wife this. Bring some extra cash.

Will do on both The Bicycle their in Halifax and Frog and onion in Bermuda. No problem.

We like to have lunch in ports we visit now, started a few years ago. Halifax we are having lunch at the Bicycle thief which I made a thread about and everyone liked that place a lot. The second leg of this back to back is Bermuda and looking at The Frog and Onion for lunch. Good place? Good idea? Any other suggestions? The website looks great and the few You tube videos I found it looks like a lot of fun. Thanks.

That looks like a really cool room. The pics I saw it looks like it has a view and good view of the Aqua theater. The pack and play would probably fit but it will be tight. Definitely looks like a cool room location.

Water with lemon but I'm not a drinker.

I think it would be a good idea to have one. Richard Fain kinda was the go to guy for information in the past but not in the way Heald is with Carnival.

We have a suite GTY for September on Liberty and no cabin assignment yet. I really, really hate the barcode trick no longer works. It was an innocent fun thing that they just had to destroy. Just my opinion though.

The app is not showing anything yet. Its not a huge deal, I was just curious. To us its a back to back, to Royal is just another cruise.

Oh cool thanks for the super quick response and answer. Neither of us are picky at all so in the end we will be just fine.

I didn't even think of this till just now and our first back to back is next month. We are on a Liberty for a 4 day to Halifax and then a 5 day to Bermuda. I guess the MDR menu will just repeat for the 4 and 5 days with one extra MDR night? We aren't doing any specialty dining on either this time. Is there a link to the typical 4 day MDR menu and 5 day menu? Just curious the overlap or repeat between the 2.

You so beat me to it! I was gonna say the same thing.

We were on a few years ago and ALWAYS wanted to sail an Oasis ship so we were ecstatic when she was coming here to NJ. I believe it was just after a big upgrade drydock and we absolutely LOVED Oasis. It sure didn't look old then and that was only 2022 so just a few years ago. We have her booked again for next May and can't wait!

What should we expect weather wise especially temps for late May on Halifax? We will be there on May 22nd on Liberty. We have been there many, many times but in the fall and it's ya know hir or miss. Sometimes very nice actually and sometimes pretty cold and rainy. Thanks

THIS! YES THIS PLEASE!

We LOVE to sail the same ship multiple times. We really get to know the layout and it almost becomes home. While we LOVE new ships or different ships being moved here to NJ we also love to sail the same ship a bunch. Lately in NJ we have been a revolving door of ships. Oasis was here, now Symphony and Oasis now coming back 2026. Liberty has been here for a few years and this May will be our 3rd and 4th on her but she is leaving just before getting her big makeover, and Independence is coming here. We will be sailing Oasis next year for the second time. Would LOVE a Icon ship here is she can fit under the bridge but I'm not holding my breath for that.

I still don't know why they would do that. Really no harm in those that know about that trick.

Actually nothing, just from what people have said not to book one or try to avoid one because of extra noise. In the end it win not be the end of the world.

We have a suite GTY for our Bermuda cruise in Sept. I check how many Junior suites are left daily. As of yesterday there were 7 non-connecting and 3 connecting left and we obviously would like to avoid the connecting rooms. Is there a way to nudge or ask politely if we can avoid the connecting rooms? Also is checking how many Junior suites left a good indication of when a room assignment will be made or its a futile to bother with that?

I do not think this will help us in any way. These are not even reciprocal tariffs. The formula used is little 3rd grade level stupid. To punish Vietnam is truly stupid because we encouraged companies to leave China because they are the worst to go to Vietnam and now we slap a ridiculous 46% tariffs on them as well. The vehicle tariffs of 25% is truly mind blowing insane.

We kicked ourselves because we never tried playmakers when we sailed Oasis but we planned. Just never got around to it but we are back on Oasis next May and are making it a priority. They are open on embarkation Day correct? Like lunchtime when you board? May we can try to do that instead of a formal specialty restaurant on embarkation Day. Anyone do this? Hard to get in at say 11:30/12 noon on embarkation Day?

Well on the topic of tariffs and cruises I'm not sure it will affect cruises prices because cruise fares are not based on how much food goes up. What I mean is you are not specifically paying for any one thing when you book a cruise. Now the economy tanking should affect cruise prices but we will see.

Stayed up till midnight last night and got 11 so we will be at the port at 10:45. Perfect for our relaxing Chops lunch at 12:15!

You tube cruise channels is how I found my incredible TA, Matt Hoffman.

You can only push people so far before things turn ugly.

Well I was made fun of a month or so ago because I was asking about attitude or angry people when we go to Canada in May. Now I'm actually a tad worried but I bought a "I stand with Canada" T-Shirt that i will wear in Halifax. Now unfortunate way but wee may finally see cruise prices drop which I could use on a few on the ones we have booked.
