  1. Book now. Check back daily for lower prices. If you see one, cancel and rebook.
  2. I have doubts that an Uber XL could accommodate 6 people all with luggage and a carryon.
  3. Does anyone have any experience and/or recommendations? Looking to get 6 people to the hotel on Saturday in Cocoa Beach and then back from WOS to MCO Sunday morning. Thanks!
  4. I see Icon and Utopia have some upgraded premium steaks on their menu. Does Wonder? Does anyone have a copy of a recent menu for Chops on WOS? Thanks!
  5. Which is why I asked how much it cost on board...
  6. It's been a couple of years since I sailed last. I've got a 3-night package booked for the adults travelling. Just wondering if it's cheaper to buy the package ( currently 42.99 CAD including gratuity) or to pay per night on the ship. TIA
  7. I pulled the trigger and bought the package as a Christmas gift. At 177 CAD it's a sensible purchase considering one trip to Chops is 77 CAD.
  8. Travelling with some picky eaters coming up in a few months... I've read some horror stories about the direction food is heading since I last cruise in the fall of 2022. I've done tons of specialty dining thanks to previous Star Class voyages. The picky eaters I'm travelling with have enjoyed Chops in the past. I'm thinking Mason Jar and Playmakers might be a good idea for the picky eaters but I've never done them myself. Is the MDR "THAT" bad now? The 3 night package is currently 20% off so thinking about it as a Christmas gift. Anyone have any insight? Thanks!
  9. They really need to update their literature. This was handed out at the Captain's Corner. Can you spot what's wrong with it? This Captain's Corner might be the least impressive one I've ever seen. Only the Captain and Hotel director. 30 minutes in the Star Lounge. No fact sheets handed out on provisions. One good question did come up "if you kill all power to the ship, how long would she take to stop?" Captain James' response "that's a good question. I'm not sure. I've never tried it." He did say that if he had to stop in an emergency they can hit the brakes and the ship will come to a stop within 3 ship lengths. He also added that if he did that a bunch of things would rattle and crash and the Chief Engineer wouldn't speak to him for 3 weeks.
  10. Ya my TA made a mistake. The loyalty ambassador was great. Let's be honest-even if they didn't fix the error, it's not a big deal. Not getting double credit for a cruise is the epitome of a 1st world problem. I see it's 17 at home. It could be colder... But it's 32 feeling 36 here (for the Americans on this site, 32 is what the rest of the world calls hot...). My feet and ankles are starting to swell. That usually happens - keys to avoiding that are reducing the salty foods you eat and reducing the amount of alcohol you drink - HA.
  11. Day 6 is upon us. Two more days at sea. So far this has been a great trip. Some observations : 1. After having the Ben and Jerry's manager say our diamond drink vouchers were good for milkshakes on Wednesday, we were told that they made an error Thursday. The loyalty ambassador confirmed this and it is due to the franchise contract they have with B&J's. Another example of RCI being consistently inconsistent but it didn't put a damper in our trek. 2. On the subject of the loyalty ambassador, Ruby is fabulous. We had this sailing booked in the window where you could get double-double points for a suite. We had to rebook it outside the window for booking. My TA instead of transferring the reservation to this sailing, he cancelled it and created a new booking. With a quick email to C&A, Ruby had the ship righted so that we all get 28 points. (getting my 8 y/o closer to Diamond status on her own instead of freeloading ;)) 3. Pub staff are some of the best I've ever encountered. Shine, Rui, Jayson are top of the charts. 4. Amit in the suite lounge is probably the best concierge I've ever had. 5. Food in the MDR has been good to very good. Beef tenderloin on the menu for the second time tonight - that pleases me. 6. The sports staff are amazing. My daughter is a thrill seeker but was a bit timid around the flowrider and understandably so. The sports staff were incredible. Lori loved it! She's since gone back again and they even had her doing tricks. It seems like Liberty may be one of the least talked about ships on this site probably due to the fact she sails out of Galveston and is overdue for a refresh... That being said there has to be some more questions so come at me!
  12. Greetings from Jamaica! So far this trip is great. Amit the concierge is incredible. Spectacular bar service from the pub. Great MDR service. Yesterday we went to Seven Mile Beach. We rented a jetski and frollicked in the water for a few hours. Today we're pretty much staying on the ship. I dislike Falmouth. It's close to absolutely nothing. 3 nights left including 2 sea days. If you have any questions let me know.
  13. To anyone who says they don't take care of this ship, I beg to differ. Is she 15 years old? Absolutely. But they are always painting, cleaning, and scrubbing places both obvious and not. Here's a shot of them vacuuming the ROOF of Vintages right after they finished polishing the top of the casino sign.
  14. No news. It was the first ship I've sailed on in years that haven't had them so I was surprised to see that they have them. I haven't asked. I'll ask the concierge if I get a chance.
  15. Can confirm. The casino still reeks of cigarette smoke. Nothing has changed. Celebrity has non-smoking casinos. The province of has non-smoking casinos. It is unconscionable that RCI still permits smoking in their casinos.
