  1. OH RIGHT! Almost forgot about that! thanks!
  2. Thanks everyone. I'm not a big drinker and happy to use the included flavored fountain drinks, so 4 a day should cover all my drinks including my morning latte. I wanted to make sure I know what the process is and let my kids know they need to let the servers/bartenders know to use the voucher when ordering their virgin pina coladas & johnny rockets milkshakes (they are so excited).
  3. First time sailing as Diamond. Need a little clarity on how the drink vouchers work. Do I need to tell the bartender/server that I want to use a voucher? Can I order a drink with lunch/dinner (MDR/Specialty) and do I need to tell them I will be using a voucher?
  4. Hi, We have a daypass booked. Wondering what the best way for 3 ppl to get to/from the port to the Sonesta Maho hotel and updated pricing if anyone knows. Also - I read there's often traffic. Any suggestions as to how much time to allot for the trip back? I like to be back on the ship at least an hour before sailaway..
  5. Yes we had it on day 4 last cruise and went especially for the apple blossom. It was pretty annoying because we don't do MDR lunch since we don't like to spend so much time in restaurants throughout the day. We generally only do MDR in the evenings but the apple blossom was an exception. I also saw it daily on some recent Coastal Kitchen menus - but that's for the upper class not for us steerage folks..
  6. Booked my first ever GTY balcony on liberty as well. 3x in a room at just over $700/pp. First time booking a GTY but the current prices are insane. I booked this a little over a month ago and now GTY is no longer available for this sailing and choose your cabin price is $1,370 pp... Liberty doesn't have any obstructed OV balcony cabins, which is the only reason I bit (with a refundable deposit though). Worst case scenario there will be a long walk to the elevators which I'm fine with. We usually also do an August sailing - but RCI has priced me out. Booking MSC for next summer at almost half the cost of RCI's cabin only rate with MSC's rate having drinks and wifi included.
  7. Crema catalana (at least MDR version since I never tried it anywhere else) is much much heavier consistency than creme brulee and about 10 time sweeter. I couldn't have more than a spoon and a half (the half was just to confirm the first spoon..) Sent it back. They also took off the menu the apple blossom which I used to order almost every night. The new crumble replacement is ...
  8. Would be helpful if you would know the bed configuration BEFORE getting an invoice.. For 3 or 4 you have to ask Dr. Google whether there's a sofa bed or pull down depending on the ship/cabin. Really annoying.
  9. If you ask they will bring you robes. They are heavy and not at all soft. I didn't use them and after a few cruises seeing they are all the same type, I stopped asking.
  10. On the same topic - what about debarkation day? Can you get specialty coffee for a voucher?
  11. From what I hear he got an earful about the terrible food at the MDR yet he's not asking any questions about that... Never thought to give drinks to my stateroom attendant. Great idea. Do you ask them if/what they would like or do you just offer? Have to try that.
  12. If you have to do that, you might as well keep a proportionate share of the gratuities for you outstanding service..
  13. Were you asked if you would forego a cruise if there were no free late night food options? Would you pay for sorrento's if that was the only late night option open?
  14. oh boy. cruising is never going to be the same.. I'm glad my kids got to experience some of the good times.. **Edit - cruising will only be the same for the affluent who care not about spending (some of those who are affluent still want value for their dollar).
  15. Pizza package, el loco package, park cafe package, towel package, ice package, milk package, cabin cleaning package etc etc etc
