So first cruise to Cozumel,

I was told that there is a good place to get Mexican vanilla and pearls on the cruise dock shops??

Any one know names of places ?

Any one know if the Mexican vanilla is real or synthetic????

My boss does about a cruise a year

And thinks he uses this company

https://www.allianztravelinsurance.com/

I am more concerned about the medical coverage side

What Royal covers and does not and maybe how much.

So for those who have bought and had to use the Royal Caribbean travel/heath insurance

Pros???

Cons???

thank you

Not sure what ship you are on - RC does not have an Island of the Seas. You might want to clarify and then post your questions on the Royal Caribbean board.

 

Check out the main list where you found this board and go to RC. Welcome to Cruise critic.

Close

Liberty of the sea

Thanks that helps a lot

Even the non alcohol are up there

Coffee about double of Starbucks

I had not heard about the 20% off will check into that

I will be doing my first cruise and on the island of the sea. Seven days

Doing as much research as possible.

Does anyone have a list/ menu of normal drinks non and alcohol, along with prices ?

Either a link to them or post a picture??

Just trying to decide on a drink package.

I saw an article, I know you cannot buy it for one or two days...

But appears I could say buy it on the third day for the rest of the cruise??

Thanks

Not yet

But will do

Greetings Fire5555! You never told us when you are sailing? Time of year could make a difference!

Mid April

So if you are out on the ship walking around say 3 AM, are most people in thier cabin ??

Does liberty of the seas have the DECT phones???

Anyone use them??

Chops grille

I saw a video on chops

So do you pay for each item ordered ??

Or one price covers all??

I have the check list/ to do list started.

Thank you everyone

Will be making a stop in GC

Looking to do a tour of the island and maybe a short time on the beach

Any companies recommended??

The amphibious tour any good???

The advice you are getting is a great start, so I will not repeat the suggestions. A few additional items I always take are first off...my favorite coffee mug. I love good coffee and like to have it with me on the ship. Also, Im a sailor and always bring my binoculars for viewing off the balcony. I also bring a small battery alarm clock, to keep me on time for morning port calls.

 

I use a clear file folder with a zipper type closure that I keep all documents and passports. I keep this in my backpack, then it go's into the safe after I board. I have a very thin leather holder for my sea pass. Also, I have a travel wallet that attaches to my belt and is worn inside your shorts. Many ports are famous for pickpockets in the Islands and Europe. Im not trying to spook you, just be careful off the ship. Also, depending on what ports you are in, its a good idea to carry your passport, and not leave it on the ship. I know this is a subject of debate on cruise critic, but I have traveled all my life, and a photo copy of a passport will not help you if you miss the ship or have to be hospitalized while on a shore excursion.

 

Otherwise just keep a good check list on your iPhone, and add to it when an idea hits you. And as the saying go's...."Bring half the clothes and twice the money "

:-) :-)

Thanks I travel very light

Have learned

But main dining room any dress code??

So called formal dinner, seems like dress code not enforced??

NO, you may be dissapointed by this, or maybe my standards are too high for what fantastic stars are. I am am Amateur astronomer.

 

The ships are so list up they diminish the night sky almost as bad as being in a major city. Older eyes take at least 30 minutes to dark adapt and there are few good spots on the ship where you can avoid light long enough to get your eyes to adapt and the moist ocean air refracts light around the ship to the point you feel you are inside a light bulb. It may be nice, but you won't see the milky way.

They do not turn the lights out at night??

How am I going to sleep

If your Muster station is in the theater or a restaurant or someplace you can sit down get there early. Late people are stuck standing. some ships still have people stand outside I am unsure if Liberty does. I have not sailed her.

 

Plan on just hanging out after muster for 15 minutes or so to allow for the chaos to dissipate. Its the craziest part of any cruise. Everyone trying to get on a elevator or run up the stairs.

 

If you want to communicate on ship you need to put your phone in airplane mode and turn wifi on. To avoid international roaming charges. Then you both need the Royal app. There is a small charge 4.95 or 7.95 can not remember to allow each of you to text and I think call thru the ships wifi.

"""""If you want to communicate on ship you need to put your phone in airplane mode and turn wifi on."""""

Did you have to purchase a wi fi package to do this???

Does liberty of the seas have the DECT phones???

Anyone use them??

Some other means to communicate between two people??

So more questions

At night

In the middle of the I

Are the stars fantastic??

Top three free places to eat on board??

WOW

Thanks for all the replies

Going to make a list

My wife does not do stairs well, all the time

For muster what deck is that on, so maybe get there early, ?

And they do not get huffy about power strips??

How about the best way to talk person to person, if you are on different areas of the ship??

Should I even bring my iPhone?? Use att service

First cruise going to be on the liberty of the seas

Just looking for check list or of maybe the top ten things to take

What to do the first day

Should I board as early as possible?

Thanks
