yeah...looks like they are sold out for my cruise...damnit!..

oh wow.....thats a cool layout!...

I am cruising on Quantum in the fall.....any idea what category or deck those cabins would be on Quantum?

I did this last year for a weeding/honeymoon cruise.......Uber is defn the easiest way and we had no issues at all.

How is Brightline?   We're cruising out of Fort Lauderdale next year. Whether I fly out of Toronto or Buffalo there aren't many daily flights.  Although flying to Orlando they seem to be almost hourly (and much cheaper). Was thinking of flying into Orlando and taking Brightline down

it is great..we used it this past Feb....flew into MCO and Brightline to FLL....it was easy, cheap and enjoyable. would recommend it if you can find much better or cheaper flights into MCO which is usually the case, especially for us Canadians.

So late April 2027 cruises wont be available to book till next year..but early April cruises for 2027 have been out for months now?

Any idea when  the 2027 will be out...for April on?

Any idea when the 2027 cruise dates will be released..thought they were always out by now...did i miss something?

yeah, i can see the things to purchase...I was referring to the daily activities on board. it doesn't show anything in mine for any day of the cruise.

Going on Silhouette in 24 days...I'll let you know how it was when I get back.

I am wondering when do the Cruise Planners appear in the app...still nothing showing in mine 24 days out?

I have been on Liberty twice in the past 7 months...nothing like that.

I do believe she is going for a a dry dock before your cruise, so there maybe some new updates to her?

Anyone else from here joining.......less than 5 months now till cruise!

I've only been cruising since the change to once a day, but it seems odd to have twice daily cleaning? What were they even doing on the second round?

who knows...i do but....the point doesn't change...pay more for less service.

right....so we pay more and get less service.

So two increases and  cabin care cut in half.

That's the facts...and the optics don't look good.

At least try to increase tips before you cut the services..would have been WAY smarter on Royals part...lol

It's  a noticeably different change. it doesn't ruin my vacation, it doesn't break my bank, but I think for most its not about  the amount of the increase at the end of the day.

I would love to have a pay increase at work and be mandated to do less work. yes please!..lol

I can only think of the Coco Loco aka the Labadoozie.

 

This is the Caribbean Cooler I've got on my list

 

I found this recipe from a 2008 recipe/guide.  
(Looks like it will turn orange/pink when blended)

CARIBBEAN COOLER

2 oz. Cruzan Coconut rum
3 oz. pineapple juice
3 oz. cranberry juice

Fill shaker with ice & add all ingredients. Shake & strain over ice

 

I know what we had was defn mixed in a blender and it was a orange "oasis" drink mix carton they used to pour in guessing that was the peach mix...i am 100%  confident it was on a drink menu....but it was on a different looking menu if i remember...

I have read through all of this...amazing list and details!!

I have been looking for and cant seem to find anyone who knows or remembers what was I believe called a frozen caribbean cooler. It was an orange/pink color....defn made with a blender. It used to be on the older drink menu's(last time we had one was 2019 on Harmony i believe)

We have asked on subsequent cruises,  but have yet to find  a bartender that remembers(or maybe doesn't want to make them..lol)

Anyone remember or have an idea of ingredients for that one?...would be appreciated if they do!

Cant wait for Bermuda.....2 works days to go and time to fly to EWR!!

Thats some great info and list of places!...as soon as our flights are booked, we will be starting to plan out where to stay and eat for a cpl days before our cruise.

Dont be saying that..looks like one is heading for Bermuda and then NYC next week....going to probably cancel our cruise....

Looks like Bermuda cruises are going to be cancelled next week.....

Trying to see where Liberty is before our cruise next week.

how far out will they cancel i wonder, as I need to start making other plans.

Potentially will be hitting NYC if the track stays that way..

Watching closing as we have a cruise to Bermuda a week from today...fingers crossed everyone made it through this one ok.....that vacations can be enjoyed....and that it stays quiet till we get back from Bermuda!

But the forecast for the days in Bermuda right now are 60mph winds and 3" of rain.....not great

Thanks for the tips and heads up. Will start looking in that area.

And yes, as a first time visitor to Texas, i defn am looking forward to some BBQ and tex mex and a good steak!!!!

Gotcha..good to know and better safe than sorry for sure.

We don't want anything fancy or pricey.....and we like something near some food and pubs.

I'll keep looking....

Getting an Uber or cab from either airport should be fine. However the area around both airports is not as safe as you would expect. The hotels themselves are probably OK as well, but do not wander out of them. Better to stay in one of the southern suburbs like Webster or League City 

Is it that bad there?...seems like a pretty bad place as you have stated in two comments how dangerous and unsafe it is.(you didn't say that exactly but i can only assume thas the reasons for  your comments)

We have a cruise booked out of Galveston for next November and trying to figure out hotel/shuttle options to port.

I have travelled a lot and cruised often..never been scared or afraid to leave a hotel to grab a bite or drink or walk.
