How far is it once you get off the pier at Taino Bay Puerto Plata? Is it worth the trip? Do you know if they sell 50ml bottles there? Thanks in advance for your help.

You can eat at the Frog and Onion at the Dockyard.

It won't be at thr OSJ pier. That is just used for port stops. 

I meant the Duck Boat tour.

Just walk the boardwalk, plenty to do and see. Visit the Alexander Keith Brewery. Go on the combo tour bus/ boat ride.

This is not a very nice beach. I am not the kind of person to talk bad about anything. But our friends were just there and said that they were bothered by venders all day and they were afraid to leave anything unatended on the beach. Good luck I hope you find a nice beach.

Were you there or is this secondhand information? I was there last year and had no issues.

Yep! We pulled in at like 10:05am and were unloaded and parked by 10:15. 

 

Also, I missed the part asking about Johnny rockets\Solarium serving breakfast- J.R Might have breakfast, but it's not free. Solarium does not have a cafe on this class of ships, so no food at all in there. 

No JRs breakfast at all.

Liberty is tired and the buffet area is tight.  Staff is great and shows are good.  Food is typical cruise food. NOTE If you are leaving from Bayonne and there are multiple ships arriving and leaving do not get off the ship early OR try to get on early.  Parking is a nightmare. Wait until most leave as there is a traffic jam of cars coming and going.  If there is only one ship ported, you will be ok to disembark.  

Bayonne does not handle multiple ships in a day. Only one.

Try Geoffrey tours.

It varies by ship and sailing date. With dynamic pricing, there is no pattern.

Cafe Promenade and Sorrento’s 
 

Johnny Rockets was open for breakfast when I was on Liberty last year, but not every day. Can’t address your solarium question. 

I thought only the Oasis class JRs served breakfast. I was on the Liberty three times last year from Cape Liberty and don't remember it being open for breakfast. I'll be back on her next month and will check it out.

Check out Bernard tours.

So much more to do on an Oasis class ship than the Liberty. The only reason I would choose the Liberty is if you want a low key experience with less people

The last Odyssey sailing open for booking is February 22, 2025, 7 night Bahamas out of Bayonne. 

I'm curious what's going on in Cape Liberty from March 1 and beyond. The spring and fall ships don't usually arrive until late April/early May. Do you think the port will be empty until then, a two months filling with another ship, or one or both of the spring ships will arrive early?

Not really. If the one you want has a wait, just go to another. There's over 100 places to eat by the port.

it's about a 3/4 to a mile from the cruise port. you could walk there, and put your child in a stroller.

As you approach Senor Frogs, make a left at the big chair in front. Go up about a block and there's a store selling beer and liquor on the right. Don't know the hours. 

They cost me $20 on the Symphony this past May.

IIRC it's on the Philipsburg/Great Bay boardwalk about half way. 

The Caribbean Brewing Company is on the boardwalk??????

I'm curious about this because although we can reserve theater shows and aqua shows on our Symphony trip next month, no ice shows are available. I recall being able to reserve these in the past. I wonder if something is going on with the rink on symphony?

Or they're sold out already?

Which Bridge is this? How long after sailaway assuming this is close to Bayonne.

Verrazano Bridge. About 20-30 minutes after departure.

That's why we book an accessible cabin as soon as new batches are released. When people leave their carriage and wagons and whatever else in the way, we just call security. I used to knock on the offenders door, but too many times they refused to do anything.

I've never had trouble bringing any on board . Like mentioned earlier, make sure they are unopened.

When we were on oasis  a couple of months ago I was trying to put it in our room and our steward told us to just leave it in the hallway and he would make sure it was taken to be charged overnight.

Not sure if it would happen on all the ships but he was a great, very helpful and kind steward.

That depends on the hotel director. Just remember you can't leave it unattended in the hallway, it is a safety violation and well as blocking other scooters from getting thru. 

PS. If you want to practice  just go to your local Walmart and use theirs.

They actually have two shows, 1977 and 25 minutes showcase show that I think was called 2.0
