    Thank you all! I did take one cruise with my parents "back in the day" and we were seated at a table with other families. Ended up hanging out with those kids the majority of the cruise so that was really nice to be able to meet them. As it's just my husband and I now I didn't really give it a whole lot of thought until I read this post. A group may be nice but then again my husband can carry on a conversation with a rock if he wanted to. So if we got bored he'd probably just start talking to the table next us anyway, lol (poor people). We have a little bit of time before our cruise so I will give it some thought. Again, thanks for the feedback!!

    My wife and I took 5 cruises with just the two of us. Having random dinner partners for the whole week was part of the fun for us. Met and became Facebook friends with much of them. Some we even met up with after the cruise as well since they lived close. 

    You met new folks, talked about your day and plans, etc. 

    Of course it is totally up to you, you can always request to be at a 2 top.

    Personally we loved the traditional dining and meeting the same folks for dinner every night. A lot of the times we'd go to shows or have drinks with them afterwards as well if we felt like being social..😂

    If they're actually using Squeeze as a juice bar, you would be able to order any juices with the package.  I think that location on the pool deck likely serves as a bar annex more than a dedicated juice bar at this point.

    Really the only place it can't be used for an extra cost non-alcoholic beverage is going to be a branded Starbucks location which I don't believe Liberty has.

    When you eat in the main dining room, you can order cappuccino or espresso at the end of your meal and it will be included with the Refreshment Package.

    Ok, so that brings up another question. When we had the drink packages before we had a coffee at the end before dessert. 

    Since one of us only has the soda package is regular coffee with dinner complimentary? We normally just had black coffee and added cream or milk from the carafe. Actually we normally had Irish coffee but it was never a cappuccino or anything like that.

  3. I assume this is 100% no, but could I buy the three specialty dinners bundle and have two other people join me and I pay for them with my other two visits (use all three at once for other people)?

    Is there any other way to reduce the cost of taking a group to a specialty restaurant? The cost for 4 at chops is more than unlimited specialty dining for one person for the whole cruise. 

    The alternative is lunch instead of dinner but I'll take that as an emergency option.

    Did you purchase through Royal Caribbean? In the old cruise planner, it would show the ages of everyone at the time of sailing, not their age when you purchase the excursion. I don't see the ages in new cruise planner, but they would still calculate the correct age of everyone. Not just for pricing, but for age limits of the excursion too.

     

    Yes, booked via the cruise planner. If that's the case then I'll rest easier. Thank you.

    UGH …… I hope they don’t make Allure replace Wonder in Port Canaveral after April 2024!  That would be horrible!  We finally have a nice ship near to Orlando with Wonder coming!  Harmony is just eh, and Allure is even worse because it isn’t amplified for the kids and doesn’t have the new suite neighborhood Wonder has. 
     

     

    This is old but man, Texas really sucks I guess. Everyone I know here is freaking out about being able to sail Oasis class from Galveston. Opinion from Florida: Allure is horrible and harmony is just eh. 

    Meanwhile I'm over here like a street urchin begging for any ship with Izumi that does 7 nighters like a peasant. 😂

     

  6. I booked two excursions, one in playa mia (Cozumel) and a stingray one (Cayman). Our kids are 2 and 3 now. When I paid and booked the excursion it only charged for the adults, had a check mark next to the kids but charged nothing. I believe it noted them as infants as well.

    I'm nervous about this, the kids will be 3 and 4 by the time the cruise rolls around. Could I be in a situation where I show up to playa mia and they ask the age of my son, I say 4 and they charge me at the gate or something?

  7. We usually get the booze package but in our last 6 cruise-less years we've had two children who will be joining us for our next cruise on the Liberty of the Seas. 

    We plan on getting one soda package and one medium package. I really want to make sure we get full use out of that package, so are there any places I'm missing out on? It can get mocktails at the bars, of course. Coffee at the cafe promenade. Fresh oj in the windjammer.

    What else? I heard shakes at Johnny Rockets without staying to eat. 

    The package is getting full use, I don't leave money on the table so since I'm not going to be drinking 20+ beers, wines, and cocktails I want to explore all my options and not just drink fountain soda all day.
