Can you tell me about the large cake? How large is it? How many will it feed? Will they decorate it?

I spied an Asbury shirt! Our daughter and SIL went to Asbury!

Has anyone ever had a private celebration party at CHOPS? We will be celebrating our 50th anniversary and wanted to book a special dinner with our family at Chops. I am curious how private it can be? There will be 15 of us including children.

Can you tell me if a post-cruise RCCL excursion is offered to tour NYC with airport drop-off? Thanks!

WE will also be in a family group of 15 celebrating our 50th anniversary. Has anyone booked CHOPS for a family dinner and was there a separate area for a private celebration? What have you all done about a group picture? Do you just show up on formal nite for a typical pre-dinner picture? I am interested in just one group picture taken....I didn't want an expensive private session.

We have received a bottle of wine with NO card. I had to call Guest Services to find out who it is from....my TA. That is unacceptable! We were gifted a Specialty Rest. dinner and our waiter told us it was from our TA....we had NO clue. WHY don't they tell you??? Years ago, I gifted OBC to my Mom on Princess and she never got it. When we investigated, they had given it to her roommate since she was the main person on the reservation. 🥴

I am not sure where you are referring to....Do you know the name of beach? I have never been on the water taxi.

Do they have parades on Freedom Class ships, particularly Liberty of the Seas?

What beach did you go to?

Yeah that's what we got too on Navigator. What a disappointment!

We got our 1st block today on Navigator. But I called Guest Services who said they would contact Loyalty. It was on our bed this eve when we returned from dinner. I have read where it was mailed months later, or not at all,,,but some got them on the ship. I didn't want to wait and depend on RCCL.

We are on Navigator now and all we got is a plate of cookies.....same ones from the Windjammer. 😝We are Diamond.

Do you remember the cost? We are going to LGB.

How did that happen? Is there a way to tell a legit taxi?

LA San Pedro

We will need an Uber to the airport after the cruise. This is new to us. When do you reserve the Uber since we never really know what time we will be actually off the ship? Do we wait until we are out of the terminal?

Can I change a reservation to a different day without a change fee and keep the same price?

We always thought that until our TA sent us to Chops last time....and we are hooked! So we have made reservations for our upcoming cruise. Can't wait!!

Our Chops price on Navigator in Feb. is "on sale" for $55.99 so your price is better!

This post is only to share an experience a family had while cruising. Real life still happens despite all of our planning and anticipating our trips of a lifetime. In December, a friend's 76 year old brother was on an RCCL snorkeling excursion in Curacao with his entire family-wife, kids, spouses, and grandkids. He decided to get out of the water and his grandson was with him. He sat down on a recliner. Within minutes, his grandson realized he wasn't responding to him. He was gone! I don't know any details of what happened after that. But I do know that RCCL took great care of the family, escorting them where they needed to go including the American Embassy. They flew the family home. The body was removed to the local morgue and placed in refrigeration. Here is the clincher---He died Dec. 20th and he was JUST embalmed in Curacao last week and JUST arrived to his home state 2 days ago!! The government down there completely closed for the holidays so nothing was done. Island time, I guess!!😬 His funeral is Saturday. The family is SO ready to get this over after agonizing for 3 weeks. That's understandable. What a nightmare to go through, especially since it was so unexpected!

This may be a stupid question, but how do the slot machines work if there is no lever or button? We were on Allure last August and decided to go to the casino since they have a separate non-smoking one. We were lost when we discovered we couldn't figure out how to work it. It had been a few years since we went into the casino and it had all changed. There was not a soul around to ask for help, so we just walked away. Cruising in Feb. and thought I would see if anyone can give us a general idea of how we access the machine. Thanks!

Is the "water taxi tour" through the cruiseline or one they offer at the port?

Has anyone done a resort day pass in Cabo San Lucas? Looking for options to enjoy a day on the beach.

Is it typical to tip the driver in addition to the transportation cost?

Is it expected to tip them in addition to the transportation cost?
