When we were at Baha Mar we got 2 loungers at the Beach Club Infinity Pool and everyone we saw had wrist bands on indicating they were a guest or bought a lounger. Same for Water Park. Perhaps it was when we were there ( Thanksgiving) but we were told access to the hotels was restricted to hotel guests.

You cannot wander around Baha Mar unless staying there, except for the casino, I believe. We booked the Infinity Pool last year from the hotel, but you also need to book the waterpark as well. It was expensive but we loved it. I think you can walk around Margaritaville though, except for the pool and beach. We did that excursion also through a third party site and enjoyed it as well.

Absolutely wonderful review. I think I likely have more mobility issues than your mom, but I will look forward to hearing about the other tours once you are on the cruise.

I am following your review as I booked the 4 night to Bermuda in August as first time we will be Diamond and fit into the schedule and I wanted a short, easy get away, though neither my daughter nor I really like Bermuda. I have never been on Liberty so your comments are very helpful.

Marmalade. One of the best restaurants I have been to. I always wondered why the chef/owner was not on Food Network or Top Chef.

I am glad you liked the Trellis bar. I believe there are mostly new drinks there since last summer, but the bartenders were pretty good at accommodating requests for drinks.

I I am really enjoying your review. I was on the Oasis last summer - my favorite bar was the Trellis bar though. Have a wonderful cruise!

Thank you

Does anyone have a current menu for Sabor on Liberty?

Do you recall where the Casitas were and how many on the different levels?

I agree about the beds at the pool. At my age they are also difficult to exit and enter but I have found the lifeguards are able to assist me as I try to get a bed near the end where the guard stands. I love the pool and we try to be the first ones there as then I feel it is like a private oasis. The pool was packed later in the day on the 2 times last year I was there.

This is a wonderful. I will follow along as I always wanted to do a cruise like this but have mobility issues. I will be curious to see how your excursions go.

I love this post!

happened to me too. Not sure if I was hacked but hope not

I checked my cruise prices again, and for my Thanksgiving cruise the Beach Club dropped again so I cancelled and rebooked. it is now half of what I paid on the Oasis last summer and on the Anthem last Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the advice. I just checked for my Thanksgiving cruise and price dropped about $40 so cancelled and rebooked. This is the lowest I have been able to book the beach Club, which I think is great. I prefer the pool, close bathroom, and great lunch at my age. But to each his own.

I enjoy your reviews. My daughter and I also did Margaritaville last July and our host was Lakeisha. If she is there, ask for her. She was wonderful.

I booked the New Year's cruise after the World Tour. I was curious as to the condition of the ship. Any info appreciated.

I recently made Diamond but I am confused as to what is available and when in the formally known as Diamond Lounges and now renamed but not sure as to new name. I will be on Liberty and Odyssey this year and curious as to what is available and when. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

You also get to leave your carry on bag at the Key reception area which can be really helpful depending in when cabins open on your cruise. You get a very good lunch and also a breakfast when you leave. I have used it several times and generally paid only a little more than if just got internet for 2 devices.

There were issues getting off for the ports using the walker. It was very disorganized, and I know people in wheel chairs and some with strollers were having issues as well. Most of the staff actually were very nice but the system to get off was not. Getting back on using a walker also took time. I had been on the Oasis in August and after having issues, and discussing with Guest Services, the staff then was wonderful when getting off and on the ship. Not so on the Anthem. I also found some other cruisers pretty rude because of my using a walker, but that is not the fault of RCCL. I do. not use the walker all the time but it has amazed me how horribly people who are handicapped can be treated.

I was on the Anthem for the last Thanksgiving cruise and I use a walker. I suggest you make sure Guest Services knows about any disability if you did not already let them know. I did not find the ship particularly handicap friendly. There is a special tram for handicapped on CocoCay- thought you may know about it already from all your cruises. I really liked the Anthem. I am sure you will too.

I am considering booking a holiday cruise but concerned re smoking due to allergy. On what side of deck on deck 11 is smoking permitted now? Thanks.

This was a very enjoyable review. I sympathized with your mom's mobility issues as last 2 cruises I had to use a walker, and let's just say not everyone was polite.

I was on the Oasis last August and all the luggage on our side of our deck came very, very late- I never thought of using an AirTag but will from now on. If you go to the Beach Club, enjoy. We did it in August and then in November. It is expensive but worth it. Enjoy the Oasis.
