If you have the soda package, and go on a B2B, does the cup still work? Or do I buy another cup/package?

Is the NRD refunded, if they cancel the cruise?

If Royal cancelled your cruise, with a NRD deposit - are you also cash refunded the NRD? I don't want any FCCs.

I used to use FL Tours regularly, but its been many years. I don't see many reviews of them lately. Anyone with experience? We need a van to fit 10 ppl. 

How early is UBER permitted to drop us off at Port Canaveral? We usually like to arrive at 10am. Thank you!

How early can UBER drop you off at the port?  I like to arrive by 10am. But I'm hearing that PC has rules about how early they let drivers in to drop you off.

Curious - we enjoy the specialty beers, which can exceed $12. I don't mind paying a couple dollars difference. But this fine print from RCL is unclear. Are specialty beers not included? Or only up to the $12 limit? My old grammar teacher would have a field day diagramming this sentence.

Package does not include room service, mini bar items and souvenir glassware, specialty beers as listed on bar menus, or
super premium category beverages above $12

Last time I was there, we could park across the street from the port (garage wasn't built yet). Since we have a large truck with a luggage rack on the back, can we still park in that lot? I'm not sure we will fit in the garage (too long). Thanks!

My favorite beer on Oasis is a German heffeweizen, Paulaner. It as only available at one bar, and I never saw anyone else drinking it onboard, and it's hard to find in bars in the US.

 

So using the cost/scale argument, that pretty much shoots that theory out of the water.

They had, and we drank, Paulaner on the Enchantment of the Seas when we last sailed her in September.

Can’t wait for your posts! Enjoy!!! ☀️

We have a couple cabins on deck 12 forward, adjacent to Adventure Ocean. Can anyone tell me about the noise level in this area? Thanks!

I received the 3 night meal plan as part of my booking. I bought another plan for around $83 for my grown children. The wording online is not clear. Having paid for the plan upfront, am I responsible for any additional taxes/tipping/service charges or other costs? Or is this all inclusive (cost)?

Thank you!

My cabin 11824 seems to be almost right above the cigar lounge. Anyone know If the cigar lounge is also outdoors, and does the smell/smoke affect the cabins above. This is actually making me reconsider the cruise. Thanks!

My family and I have cruised RC for many years, but had a friend convince us to book the inaugural Alaskan cruise on the brand new Bliss.

We LOVE the promenade and activities on RC. Our 3 kids are all adults now and traveling with us. (19,22,31)

Anyone care to share thoughts on NCL Bliss vs RC Explorer?

I'm cruising NCL for the first time on Bliss (12+ cruises on RC)! We've booked the mini-suite 11824. However I just noticed it is a few decks above the Humidor Cigar Lounge. With the open air promenade, will that smoke be wafting upward to our balcony? Is smoking permitted on the promenade/waterfront?

Also, the NCL promo book on Bliss, states that Margaritaville is complimentary dining. I'm seeing other posts about paying for burgers. We are not foodies, so I'm more interested in the 'included' options. Any info you can share?

Is CoCo Cay still being visited by the ships? We travel on the 29th of September, and are curious if we will be able to visit, or will have an extra sea day.

We are looking at a tour with Atabey. We will only be docked from 7am to 1pm, and they seem very accommodating. It is a private tour for my family of 5.

Anyone have any experience with them? Good reviews on TripAdvisor.

Thanks!

Hi Jesters! Thanks for the question. Liberty currently does not have Freestyle Soda Machines.

 

You may purchase your Soda Package when reserving online, but you may also purchase onboard! If you have any additional questions, please reach out to our team at: (800)529-6918. We're here to help!

Thank you, but I did reach out to RC, and was told by the representative 'I don't know why it isn't showing up as an option. I can't get it to show up on my screen either. Just checked with a manager and he thinks you should wait another month or two and try again'. WOW. I know that I can purchase onboard, but I prefer to have all of this done ahead of time, and paid.

Very sad to hear the Freestyle machines are not onboard the Liberty. Since it is not sailing internationally, I thought they would be available.

I've been trying to get our reservations done for our June cruise on Liberty. The options are there for the more expensive drink packages, but I want the Soda Only package (around $7pp/day). I emailed RCCL two weeks ago, and no response. I called today and was told they have no idea why it's not coming up as an option - because they still offer it. Anyone else have this experience? Does this now have to be purchased once onboard?

Also asked if Liberty had the Freestyle Soda Machines- he said NO. But some threads here say yes. Can someone tell me if the machines are onboard?

Thanks!

Which nights are Formal on the Oasis, Western Caribbean?

Thank you!

We'll be traveling in two cabins. Me, DH & DD in one cabin. And my two DS's in the other. My oldest DS is 27, and the younger is 18. Will they be included in my package, since at least one of my children in the other linked cabin is under 21?

Wow! Thanks for all of the replies!

Can this be pre-booked on the Freedom, or do I need to do it onboard?

I seem to recall that you could rent the flowrider for a period of time (maybe 30 or 60 minutes). Anyone have any details on this? Cost? We are going on the FOS in August.

Thanks!

Jesters, how was that room (7294) as far as feeling the ships movement??? 1st cruise & all :)

I thought it was great. Felt very little movement (and I am VERY prone to motion sickness- take meds throughout cruise), but i should note that our weather was great and we had calm seas. I felt more movement in the dining room. It is a great room on a great ship. Enjoy!!!!!

Can anyone tell me anything about this room. I know it's a balcony, but want to know if anyone knows anything about it, good or bad.

We just got off the freedom, and we had balcony room 7294 (and promenade room 7295 for our boys). The room was great! Perfect mid-ship location, clean, quiet. Our cabin attendant was terrific (Lee) as well. Enjoy your cruise!!
