Thanks, it's strange I could see all the themes except the 3rd night.

1 - Welcome

2 - France

3 - 

4 - Mexico

5 - Asia

6 -Italy

7 - Royal

8 - Carribean

9 - Bon Voyage

I wonder if the third night is UK?

Hello,

I am pretty sure it's posted somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.  What would be the menu rotation in the MDR on each night for a 9 night cruise?  I am on the Liberty in 6 weeks and would like to know.

Thanks in advance.

Some of you people are so harsh.  I stopped coming to these board for a while and now I remember why.

Reading some of the silly responses here, I am sorry I asked. 

What is comes down to is here is your tip and a candy bar OR here is the same tip and nothing else.

Per bartenders on Freedom at Schooner, Boleros, Lime and Coconut and Casino bars, 100 percent of the them stated they prefer cash over candy. Granted this is a very small poll, but that is consistent with what I have heard on my previous 66 cruises. 

Just to be clear, this is in addition to giving a cash tip, not instead.  

In addition to the cash tips, I plan to give, is it OK to also give the crew candy?  My sister, who is a frequent cruiser says she does, and now my wife wants to do the same on our upcoming cruise, so I wanted to see if other folks do the same.  Just to be clear, this is in addition to giving a cash tip, not instead.  

Her's mine for later this month:  Go to muster station, go to MDR to reschedule dining time, go to CS to have room keys enabled for both rooms, get drink card.

Here is New Jersey my kids normally have the week off from school after Easter.  I am not sure how other states do it.   2025 Easter falls on April 20th, so the week 21st to 25th I would think there will be a lot of kids will be off on Spring break.

I was on Enchantment last year that had Park Cafe and will be on Liberty in a few weeks which has Cafe Promenade.  Can someone fill me in on the differences, hours, offerings, etc.?

I hope your Mom recovers nicely and you all are able to go.

I’m not saying either line is better, I personally like variety and enjoy trying different cruise lines. I’ve had many great cruises on RC. 
 

Princess actually has two new packages, Plus and Premium. Plus is $60.00 pppd and covers drinks up $15.00, gratuities and Wi-Fi on one device. The Premium is $90.00 pppd and covers drinks up to $20.00.  If the drink exceeds that you only pay the difference. The Premium includes gratuities, Wi-Fi on four devices and two specialty restaurants. 
 

it seems to me that the packages on Princess give you a lot beyond just alcohol.  I’m not looking for people to say, just cruise on Princess. What I would like to see is RC offer more value in its package(s).
 

There is a price point for everything. Whether one chooses to purchase a drink package is a personal choice based on the price they are willing to pay and the value they expect to derive from the purchase. 
 

Happy cruising. 

I would like to see Royal offer beer and or wine packages separately.  Obviously, I am thinking the cost would be lower than the normal drink package.

I wouldn't get my panties in a wad...nothing is really sterilized, even hospitals are filthy.  If it bothers you, take a canister of Clorox wipes and have at it, I've done it plenty of times!  Don't forget that phone and the TV control, dirtiest things in any cabin.  And WASHY WASHY!

No washy washy, no yummy yummy.

We are on Liberty this summer and didn't know they didn't have Freestyle machines.  Does that mean you have to go to the bars to get all your sodas?

I was a bit disappointed at how long and slow the lines were for the water park when I was there.  But, we had out itinerary changed and went to Coco Cay instead of Grand Bahama and I was happy about that.

Right now, I see a lot of upcoming Alaskan. cruises very cheap for upcoming cruises.

Oh yes. It's actually on a list of things you can request. Note: medical refrigerator is very small and odd shape. Only big enough for some medication. But there is a full list of things medical and otherwise that you can request. They prefer you do it before you hit 30 days before departure. I made mine at about 45 days.

It would be for a Norditropin pen for my son so I am sure it would fit.  Thanks again.

If it was a request you made I would say 2 to 3 weeks for a person to respond. If it was just a question, them I'm not sure. I would assume the same amount of time. 

 

I filled out special needs form for a medical refrigerator, sharps container, etc. 2 to 3 weeks later received a personal response. This was in the past 2 months.

I did not know you could make that request.  Thank you.

Yeah its good for 2 wine/beer per cruise but they weren't honoring it for any.  Then its supposed to be 10% off wine/beer for the rest of the cruise.  For some reason their POS system can't keep track and even if you tell them it doesn't always happen as it should.

So you actually have to ask the bartender to apply the 50% discount and it's not done automatically?  I guess I would have to assume the same for the milkshakes at Johnnie rockets.

I am not sure you can get a bottle of wine from the MDR and take it with you.  I do not believe you can get a bottle of wine at a bar.  I could be wrong though.  Maybe someone else will chime in on this.

Yep, what I am questioning is the package states "Enjoy a discount of 40%on bottles of wine under $100 in bars and dining rooms", so basically if I buy one, do I get it immediately or sent to my room the last day of the cruise?

I have the deluxe beverage package, if I buy a bottle of wine at the discount, is it given to me at the bar or is delivered to my room on the last night of the cruise?

3-19 sailing on the Anthem out of Bayonne…

 

My wife and I each tried to bring two bottles (we have connecting staterooms and I was going solo to get us to Diamond on this cruise).  She had one bottle taken away and it was delivered to our room the last night.  I went through a different security line and made it through with both.  
 

There is signage in many locations saying one bottle per person in room (up to two max per room)

Thanks for the update.  I am sailing out of Cape Liberty in July, and I was thinking as we have two state rooms, we might be able to bring 4 bottles aboard.

I'm amazed at how many people bring their own wine on board and/or are griping about this.  We never did previously and just figured paying for wine as part of our plan or separately was part of the vacation.  nbd  Since we're normally flying in from somewhere, bringing breakable bottles would be a pain in the neck.  

I'm amazed you would gripe about people griping.  

One night on the Enchantment they had Shrimp Po'boys, unexpectantly excellent.

So, I have the drink package myself and my wife does not.  We have two rooms as we are traveling with 3 children. Now with the new one bottle of wine per room rule she won't be bringing enough wine.  Will I be able to get bottles of wine at the 40% discount?

Two thoughts: 

- Right now the rule is 2 bottles per cabin.  This change means 1 bottle per adult.  For most cabins /2 people, this is the same thing.  

- For cabins with more than two adults, this allows more alcohol.  

Yes, but if you have two adults in separate rooms, instead of 4 bottles, now they can only bring 2.
