Anyone know if the beach towels on Liberty are nice and big ? Also, tell me how good chops is, is it worth it ? Tell me about the steak

We are traveling with kids and would like the option to pop in a dvd at night and let them relax. I thought I read tHat the royal family suite had them but my TA says they don't. Does anyone know? Can I request one?

I am on the fence about the black top I bought it at Forever 21 on clearance for 7 bucks, but I still have my eye out for something else. But I think with jewelry it will pass muster if I don't find anything else.

Let's see it !

these are 2 outfits I'm thinking of bringing for casual dining nights

Looks great !

I'd have to agree at least as far as HAL goes as we haven't tried Cunard.. Although almost all lines edge down a bit for Alaska. We recently did a Hawaiian cruise on Norwegian's Pride of America and unlike our very first cruise to Canada with them few of the casual outfits I saw would have passed muster on our first Celebrity cruise. These days I often wear white jeans from Chico's or dark lighter weight denim trousers on Caribbean cruises. Add on sandals or deck shoes and a nice top that covers what it needs to but not too tightly and most lines won't bat an eye at you. We up the dress code for Europe and will for an upcoming cruse Down Under because we often have meals ashore where people tend to dress a bit better than here in the States. Nothing fancy or even formal but just above what we would wear for casual nights in the MDR. I mean you do not want to dress up so much you feel like you should be wearing heels when you have to hike over cobblestones. And even with HAL a formal night can be a nice pair of slightly flowy black pants and a sequined top (they are not very expensive at all). As was mentioned above second hand stores often have never or barely worn resort wear.

Thanks for all the replies. We have the funds to buy new clothes if we wanted but i just don't want to go buy a bunch of clothes to please people ill never see again. I feel great in my dark jeans and a blouse. I also have dresses to wear on the nicer nights. Resort wear would feel goofy- like I'm dressing up like someone I'm not. And my flowy black pants feel like I'm heading to work. Does that make sense ?

I said I would report back, we took this excursion on Thursday (9/24) from RCCL. Weather was great! We had a fun time and the crew is terrific. There is a bar that serves food and drinks all very reasonable priced. The best part is they let you run a tab, and you just settle it up before getting off.

 

Our tour was in the morning, it took about 20-30 min to get out to Maho area, then we had about 2 hours out in the water. We had a mix of children with us (6-16) all novice snorklers. They had a BLAST! I didn't see much a whole lot of fish, but my kids didn't have anything to compare. It was fun to just float around in the water.

 

Now for the plane action, it certainly is not the same experience I have been told as to standing on the beach. The picture above that shows all the rocks, is exactly what it looked like last week as well. There really isn't any beach except to the left if facing the airport. We saw several small planes and one bigger plane. The afternoon tour maybe from carnival? Will get to see bigger and better planes I think.

IF you think you can have beach access or will get to see the big 747, you will probably be disappointed. But if you go into this knowing what is is, it truly was a lot of fun. Would I do it again, no probably not but glad we did it.

Also when they bring you back they give you the option to get off the boat at port (where they picked you up) or bring you into town, you can than walk back which they said was a 15 min walk or take the water taxi. We didn't know ahead that was an option and the little kids were tried and wanted to get off. If anyone has any questions let me know.

Thank you so much!

Thanks for all the responses. You guys have been very helpful. My sister is most stressed out about this bc she feels like she has gained a little weight and has nothing to wear so I will assure her that she will be fine in the stuff she has to wear. I'm open to more responses

Casual nights vary a great deal by cruise line. What would be considered acceptable on one would not be allowed on others.

I'd like to know more about this- which cruises are the more fancy ones? I'm not a regular cruiser but if I had to guess I might say carnival is more relaxed and maybe RC is a little more dressy? Am I way off? Where does ncl and all the others stand?

Well I guess I can say I'll probably be seen in some nice stylish dark jeans or maybe even my black leggings and a flowy tunic. I wear my slacks to work every day and nothing about them says pretty, sexy, relaxing or vacation. Also, I won't feel like wearing a dress all 10 nights.

I seldom wear jeans in summer weather...I simply don't think of jeans as summer clothing! You can certainly wear them if you want!

 

I usually wear capris or a sundress or skirt...

It's a late October cruise and my mind in on jeans and fall wear. I just have to balance that with the warm Caribbean weather

Come on peeps!

Show some pics!

I don't wear jeans or leggings to the main dining room. I wear nice pants and a blouse or other attractive top, or nice pants and a top and blazer, or a sundress or other casual dress.

 

You'll see a wide variety of outfits on women in the dining room on casual night, so I wouldn't worry too much! Sorry I didn't post photos, but I don't have any photos of myself at dinner except on formal night.

Thank you

Sorry...Why :confused:

 

I'm sure you'll look great in what you consider "smart casual" it's exactly what you would probably wear out to a restaurant in your home town.

 

Enjoy your cruise :)

Bc I've never been on a RC cruise and haven't cruised in years and am bringing a group of 11 who have never cruised... I'm sure I'm going to get questions about what others will be wearing ... Good enough to reason?

I read they can't guarantee together seating for more than 10. Our more than 10 is a baby. Do you think they can just squeeze her in? Thanks!

I sure hope so !!

I'd love to see what you wore :) please specify which night it is

For some reason, I can't think of good outfits for this. Do women wear nice jeans? Leggings? I'd love to see what you wore.

Never said I was gonna do it- just a general question. Asking for a friend lol

Has anyone ever put two in their checked bags and also carried two though security? How would they know you have 4?

Anyone know if the ferry takes you to Warwick and horseshoe bay?

Trying to pick an excursion. Has anyone had a place they particularly love?

Does anyone know how much a taxi is to get here ? How about how long of a ride it is to get here from the cruise port? Does anyone know how to figure out when the biggest planes are coming in? Last question- how loud and windy is it? Would I be crazy to take a toddler, even if we stood over to the side ?

I heard people fly kits at the forts but what else is there? Where is the best place to have dinner and where's the best place to go until 11pm?

My husband saw some pubs in the port and we'd like to know if those are good and what other stuff there is to do. We are skipping excursions bc we are hauling a toddler.

I'd love a clean peaceful beach with snorkeling and we would be taking out 15 month old baby. Our original plan was snorkel park but I think I'd like to try something cleaner and less crowded. Also, how much is a bus or taxi to get there ?

I took this picture last week. You can see the boat in the background. That's where it stayed the whole time I was at Maho.

 

 

 

 

 

Wow thanks for the pic! The boat looks pretty far out there
