On Liberty currently on a 5 night Bermuda cruise.  

We've had Welcome Aboard, French (formal), Taste of the USA, Caribbean and tomorrow is Italian. 

I thought the Lobster Mac was really good (my 10 year old ordered it...she inhaled it. I'm surprised I got a taste). Caribbean night was meh. 

Thank you so much!

Yeah I'd probably go Salmon on this day, plus the Mac and Cheese to share.

I think I'll eat at Chops that night or pay for the surf and turf!

Maple Bourbon Salmon

Honey Fried Chicken (I was disappointed with this. It was more like a beer battered coating, bland at that, then what I expected with traditional friend chicken)

Burger

Lobster Mac and Cheese (tasty)

Vegan Jambalaya

Some fish curry dish

Thank you so much!

Interesting entrees. I would've thought the the turkey dinner would fit better with that menu rather than the Bon Voyage menu.

If it is a sailing less than 7nights there is no Bon voyage, and depending on ports Mexico might not be included. 

For Liberty's 5n sailings, it will be: Welcome aboard, taste of France, taste of USA, taste of Caribbean, and taste of Italy. 

What is the "Taste of USA"? I can't find a menu online anywhere!

Hi everyone - I'm going on a 5 night Bermuda cruise on Liberty next week. I know there are new MDR menus, but seeing as our cruise in only 5 nights, I'm wondering which menus we will actually see and which will be axed. Anyone know?

Which menus were featured...and in what order?

Well… seems like I needed to make a reservation before now because it’s sold out. So I guess the lot at the port it is. Still looking for info if anyone has parked there. I have a cruise booked in Oct and another in December so I’ll try it out then I guess.

Where is that lot located?...and do they have a shuttle? Also, what is the lot contact info? I may just call...I have to pay for 2 cars for my trip!

I used Cortrans a few years ago. I jumped on the shuttle right where the Disney Magical express were. At the time it was $25 each way. I think it may have gone up tp $30.

Has anyone parked at 69 Hook RD when going on a cruise out of Bayonne? I typically  park in the garage at the port but doing a back to back tomorrow (9 total nights) and 69 Hook RD is HALF the price so we were thinking about giving it a shot. Would save us $135 on parking for the 9 nights. 
thanks!!

Keep us updated! I'd be interested in doing this in 2 weeks.

Last Aug., our check in time was 10AM(the earliest slot). The lot opened for parking at 9:45AM. This year, the earliest check in is 1O:30. I'm assuming the lot will still open at 9:45 because most people would have disembarked by then. 

We sailed atleast 7 years ago from Baltimore as we live only 3 1/2 hours from there. I remember embarkation was super smooth...and parking was a breeze. 1 thing that I will NEVER forget...was traveling down the Chesapeake! I remember eating dinner in the MDR hours after depating the port...and still seeing land! It was soooo different and lovely!

I prefer morning! I don't want to look at a subpar made up bed by moi. 

I claimed my OBC through Bank of America on their site. It asked for my booking number and credentials. The OBC showed up 3 days later.

And not a big deal but this belongs in the Shore Excursions Forum.

I'll 2nd that!! Love Nachi!!!...one of the prettiest beaches...and quiet!

Where do you check the bar code?...and how?

After 48 hours, you reprice just to get the lower fare. You don't get the difference in OBC. But it's still a win for the bottom line.

OK...That's what I've always done.

Thank you for your quick response! So youre saying I can adjust for OBC up to final payment? If thats the case, I will go ahead and book it.

In the past, I was always able to price adjust until final payment.

Today, I tried to book an additional cabin. I previously booked 3 cabins for Oasis of the Seas June 30th. I need an additional cabin for more guest that we are traveling with. Not only has the price for a cabin doubled...but in the process of walking through the new booking, It says that I will have 48 hours to adjust the price for onboard credit only. I never heard of this. It used to be "you can keep adjusting until final payment, and anything after that is Onboard credit."

Is this the new policy? I'm guessing the price will at sometime drop in the next month.

Also true. Speaking for casinos in general, one common "trick" back in the day when comps/rewards were given without super specific calculations in a computer was to bet larger than normal when you sat down and the pit boss would typically record your first bet. A $25 bettor might bet $50 or $75, for example, in the hopes of being tracked at that level, then go back to his actual $25.

That's a great tip!

In short, table games don't accrue nearly as many points as slots.

It's confounded me just as much, but it is what it is.

In addition to what youjust said, I guess that not all table games are created equal as well!

Was recently on Oasis.

I played roulette for about 2-3 hours with $10-15 bets and acquired 70 points.

My boyfriend played for Blackjack for about 7-8 hours with usually $25 bets or more and acquired 50 points.

Does this sound right? ...and could anything be done about this?

If I book a cabin for 3, but then have to cancel the 3rd travelor before final payment...does royal re-price the entire package when we drop that 3rd person, or do they just subtract whatever the fee id for that person?

I just got back from Montreal 3 weeks ago, and didn't  change money. Unfortunately, if you pay with US dollars...you are still paying Canadian prices and you lose about 30% like a previous poster stated! For instance, if something cost $20 Canadian dollars, and give them $20 US dollars...they don't give you change. Technically, they should give you about $5-$6 dollars back. Use a credit card whenever possible! The bank does a great job converting it with small fees like $ .65 each transaction. Your basically buying things with your CC, and when you get your bill it's lower than anticipated!

The Water Club in Isla Verde is a nice boutique hotel with a beautiful beach. Caribe Hilton is a nice option as well!

I'm not sure this is technically a lateral movie, a Central Park balcony is technically an inside room and this is now an ocean view balcony. 

 

 

I agree with you! I am trying to do the exact move on my sailing Aug 21st. How much did you bid...if you don't mind answering. 

I booked a solo cabin at a really great rate because I didn't know if my boyfriend was going to be able to go. Now I want to add him to my cabin. Will RCCL just add port charges and fees...or will they reprice the entire trip? AS of today the trip has gone up $1000.
