Last week I made a reservation with some next cruise certificate s I purchased 3 weeks ago. Three days ago, I got an email saying I owed money on the deposit, which of course was an error on their part. I always say that if Royals IT department worked for any other company, they would all be fired immediately.

Thanks. We actually have reservations for both.

Day of week and time of day need to be considered. A week day during morning or evening rush hours would be very difficult. Much less traffic on weekends.

Again, I have been on many Royal cruises and have never encountered a scooter blocking my passageway.

 

Somehow they are handling this issue well because I would complain if I could.

 

😁

It's just the opposite with us. We always cruise out of Cape Liberty and on most cruises we see scooters, walkers, and even baby strollers in the hallway. I guess it's up to the Hotel Manager how much they enforce the rules.

Thanks. I booked all ours for or May 24 Symphony sailing except 1977 which wasn't showing yet.

On my 9 niter on Liberty September’25 sail they added Sydney Nova Scotia. 

It's the same for this year as well. Sydney was substituted for Bar Harbor.

It depends on the port of embarkation.  US ports require 21.  Europe, Asia South America and Australia it is 18.  

 

I have never heard of a parent waiver.

Many years ago, at least 15, I was able to sign a waiver in Barcelona to allow my then 18 year old son to drink beer and wine.

Cruises from Bayonne were released last month for April 25 - Feb 26. I booked accessible balconies for 6 different dates. Less than a month later, there are no more available on three of them. I fully agree with you. Unfortunately, there are people who book them for the size, and don't really need them. Don't flame me on this comment, I can't tell you how many times I see two normal walking people walking out of a handicap room.

How was the seafood restaurant? My wife wants lobster rolls for lunch one day and I am trying to determine if it's worth the trip.

Yes they do

The only issue I have with the Liberty and Voyager class for that matter is the casino layout. There are no dedicated smoking and non smoking areas. It's more like one aisle smoking and the next non smoking. So smoke permeating the whole casino.. and casino staff has no problem with letting people come in to smoke with out actually gambling. It just adds to the problem. That's my two cents and I'm sticking to it.

Noticed there's a lack of lfyionger Caribbean cruises in January 2026. Outside of the Odyssey out of Bayonne and the lone 12-day out of Baltimore on the Vision. Have they not been released yet?

Fyi.   There is a 11 day southern Caribbean on Odyssey in Nov 2025 from Cape Liberty.

Sangria is a flavored wine, no worries.

to be honest....( I am a non smoker) ...if they would simply enforce their own regulations about limiting smoking in the smoking section to only the people actively gambling it would help tremendously. They dont even have to send in the smoking police during Casino hours. If they would simply not allow people in the casino to smoke when the casino is not operating it would be a great help.

 

On our last months cruise on the Symphony, there was a chain smoker that brought his laptop into the casino and sat there all day everyday lighting one after another. He never played a dime. If they would run those guys, then there would be less "heat" on smokers that gamble.

I totally agree with what you're saying. All Royal needs to do is make a stand. On the Anthem last week, they were constantly making announcements in the casino that you must be physically gambling if you want to smoke. Many non smokers appreciated that. I wish they would do that on all ships.

My Kids would ask same question until they got answer they liked

I would hope you're older and wiser. But after seeing your response, I doubt it.

What's up with Explorer after her last sailing in the Med September 2025?🤔

Why have you asked the same question three times in the past hour?

She's due for her first dry dock around March 2026.

So do you think another ship will come to Cape Liberty, or will we be without a ship until the spring?

Does It seems strange that Odyssey only shows cruises until Feb 2026? It the past, the Anthem showed cruises to the April/May timeframe, just before she left for European season.

This isn't how things worked before Covid... the Oasis ships rotated every year

Oasis ships weren't here before COVID.

 Oasis was the first in September 21.

I agree with all the others. It's an option, so buy it you want it.., or don't if you think it's too expensive. You do have a choice.

We had it last night.

They are seriously cutting down proteins. Shrimp pad Thai on Asian night only had four tiny shrimp in it. WJ breakfast and lunch options are becoming more vegetarian in nature.

$29.99 a day. Yes you can get a for a single day.

yea I think they like them to stay at least 3 years which is what Oasis and Adventure did.  But it was time for Anthem to leave after many years.  I am doing Odyssey in April of 2025

The Adventure was only here a year, or two tops.
