We are Stuart & Lisa from south Texas. Finally doing a New England/Canada cruise after 2 cancelations in ‘21 and ‘22. The Liberty is an old friend to us who have sailed out of Galveston a lot.

We booked 2 adjacent Grand Suites (not connecting) for ourselves and our grandson and friend. They just graduated HS, soon to be 18. Our reservation has one adult and one “child” in each cabin. Our plan is, once on board, we would take one suite and the boys would take the other next door. What is the best way to make the change to our Sale Pass Cards which reference cabin number, account CC, drink package, casino status, etc?

We are Stuart and Lisa from Rockport, TX. Looking forward to being back on the Freedom. We were last on back in 2019 before it was AMP’ed. See ya’ll soon!

You are correct, however it’s a good idea to make reservations for specialty restaurants. Although you cannot make them in advance unless you are in a suite, I’d recommend doing as soon as you get on board.

By far it was Voyager. Since tracking my points per dollar spent, I have average 2.6 points/dollar on slots over 19 nights (3 cruises). That is 1 point higher than my overall average of 1.6 across the 17 cruises (since I’ve been tracking).

Thank you for the confirmation…and warning. Been a lot of discussions past few cruises with couples questioning if Icon is truly a family packed theme park. Apparently there is truth to the rumors. I’m out.

Am I understanding correctly….we both have the UDP. At Playmakers, we EACH have a $20 credit, 1 visit per day? So in effect, we can use my $20 credit and share an Onion Ring tower at lunch and go back in the evening and use my wife’s $20 on wings?

How did you like the cruise, and more importantly how did your 92 year old cousin like her 1st cruise?

Here is my best recommendation, pack a very large suitcase of patience.

All I can say is my set sail pass in my hand right now for a 4/18 sailing on the Harmony out of Galveston does not have the term “suite” anywhere on it, only SKY under the heading “Category”.

The Set Sail Pass differentiates primarily by “Category”. My Set Sail Pass for Sunday shows “Sky” as the category. No where is the term “suite” on the Set Sail Pass. Junior Suite is not a Sky class category, I believe it considered “Sea” class. Also, the Set Sail edge color for GS and above is purple.

Ditto that. “Wash and fold” comes back unwearable…socks and underwear only. “Wash & Press” is usually decent (men’s slacks & shirts) but not for gentle laundry cloths. “Press only” is always nice for linens.

Galveston’s terminal suites line allows only GS or above or Pinnacles.

In addition to what @Ampurp85 stated, you also get double C&A points in a JS. However, you are not allowed to use the Suite check-in line, Suites lounge, or Suite pool deck.

Great Point! As gamblers, we are all sensitive to changes in comp programs, whether land based or cruise ship casinos...and rightfully so. With the new Casino Royale "season" starting, we all need to be watchful and inquisitive especially word from casino hosts, then openly share that information on this site. As with you, I am suspicious Royal will move the bar in their favor.
