We always leave cash. I know they want it, need it, and can make their own decisions on how to best use it.

That's funny, because *I* missed it, too.  😄  And I haven't seen any discussion of it on here.  I don't know about you, but I LOVE sailing out of NOLA.  It's a great place to visit before and after a cruise, and it's lovely sailing down the river.  

We will be right there with you. Like to visit NOLA and back to Grand Cayman.

We used Hilton Garden Inn Seattle Airport. There was a free airport shuttle to the hotel. I called the hotel before booking and was told we could sign up for a shuttle that would transport us to the cruise pier. I don’t remember the cost of the shuttle but it was reasonable. Both the hotel shuttle and the cruise pier shuttle were very timely. We would definitely use this hotel again. Our stay was July 2019.

Agree. I grew up in Seattle. Would not stay downtown. Area has gone down in recent years. Homeless population has exploded. If you do decide to stay downtown be very careful, after dark.

We stayed at the Airport Radisson. 13 Coins restaurant is right next door. Seattle Shuttle will pick you up at your hotel and take you to the pier. They will also be waiting for you upon returning to Seattle and transport you to airport.

We enjoyed our visits  Feb 2023. Only really crowded

at 5:00 pm. A little later almost empty.

All servers are friendly and prompt with beverages.

Port of Galveston web site. Has everything you need. We have lot 14 reserved.

Balcony for pictures and site viewing. We used ours everyday last September, on Ovation. Throw on a coat and step out.

Cash. 

Only used Medical one time. Was billed on my account. Trip Insurance covered the entire

bill. Will say Medical Service was professional and top notch.

Same. We will be there. Was hoping for Country. Should be a Great concert.

We went last September on the Ovation. The weather was perfect. 70's every day. Took all the items you mentioned never used one. Gloves, boots, rain suits, and hats all remained unused. 

Got off the ship in ports to find people in shorts.

Great cruise plenty to do and see.

Planning to visit again September 2024.

Sailed on her in February. No problems. Enjoyed our cruise. Not as fancy as some of the new ships but still very nice. Chops was excellent. 

No problem. Dress is casual. Sometimes too casual. Sitting next to us in Chops was a guy in shorts and a Blockbuster tee shirt  (Be Kind Rewind). 

Sailed on Liberty twice, loved both sailings. Ship is the perfect size.

Adventure in February not until 2:00 pm. Have a nice lunch and then explore the ship. 

We dined at  Wonderland in September, on the Ovation. Great food and Service. Best meal we had all week.

Either one. You order wine by the glass or bottle. Each glass is served to your table. Bottle is left in ice bucket if white, or on the table if you request. Server will ask if you would like your glass refilled.

My wife and I sailed on her in Feb 2023. Had a great time. Chops was outstanding for Valentine's dinner. Overall all the food was good. 

Service was fine, balcony room could use a little update.

Would be glad to sail on her again.

We always have TA add to our bill. One less item to worry about.

Hilton is very nice and

safe.

I will be leaving the blazer at home . I will wear long pants and a button down shirt. Thats as formal as i will get . 🙂

100% agree with you. It is a vacation. Plus why drag along the extra clothes?

Ships water has always been fine. No issues and I like FREE.

No. Phones work in Mexico and most of our port stops in the Caribbean. For us no reason to pay the extra daily charge.

We turn them off and relax.

My wife and I never buy the drink package. Like most items we could never drink enough to break even.

Do enjoy the 3 night Dining Package $ 112.99 plus tip. Feel that it is well worth our money.

Allure. Have her booked for July. Will be our 3rd time.
