Most home porting decisions are likely $ based.

You might try to have the booking changed to reverse the order of the guests - not sure RCI can do that for you.

" Tropical Cyclone Gabrielle, which caused cruise ships to cancel visits to New Caledonia and Vanuatu earlier this month, left widespread devastation in the north of New Zealand. Some regions remained cut off from all access, power and communications as the tropical storm moved away from the country, leaving more than 10,000 people displaced. Roads and houses have been submerged by flooding, while key state highways have been closed by landslides. National State of Emergency The New Zealand government has declared a national state of emergency for only the third time in the country’s history. The other two occasions followed the 2011 Christchurch earthquake and the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. Brad Olsen of New Zealand economic consultancy Infometrics said the difference between Cyclone Gabrielle and the January Auckland floods was that the flooding had been in a limited area and resources could be directed there. ‘Now we have to direct resources across the entirety of the North Island,’ Olsen said.

It should repopulate on its own, eventually.

Pretty sure Liberty doesn't yet have RFID card stock (needed for that tap capability).

You should be able to see the info on all ships in the fleet inside final payment - the info gets more accurate/complete as you closer to sailing.

Tiny is relative - they are bigger than on most older ships and are usually the virtual balcony cabin type.

Lots of things could have been planned which didn't materialize. Some RCI ships sometimes show up in online ship sales sites which some incorrectly assume the ships are actually for sale.

The bartender is more important than the location.

No, just more RCI IT calendar issues.

Welcome to CC. eBay may have something like that.

Somone in the Roll Call for that sailing may have it - also ask there.

All O class use terminal A. Expensive?

No passport needed for those.

Yes, unless you are on an itinerary which requires a passport.

Use the app to get a check in time (no passport info needed). Fill in the passport info when you get it.

Probably just the required marine maintenance.

About 30 min after arrival and probably.

The price varies by ship/itinerary (and time) so you'd have to be specific on the sailing - maybe ask in the Roll Call thread for some sailing you are interested in.
