Thanks, that’s good to know. They used to offer it at the beginning of a cruise and probably thru it to the end. I have a family cruise in June 2024, so will watch for it.

Years ago, I used to get the drink card (10 drinks) for a specified amount. I used to like this, but haven’t seen it offered for years. I never felt the UDP was worth it for me.

I am so sorry to hear of your grandfathers passing, but as you mentioned, his pain is over and you can take comfort in that and your wonderful memories.

Following along. You will let me relive my Alaska Cruise on Radiance, I got off in Vancouver on 8/25/2023. What a great cruise. Hoping you will enjoy yours as much as I did mine. Will be cruising to your home soon. Cape Liberty to Quebec City with several stops in-between on Jewel of the Seas late September into October and spending a couple extra days in Old Quebec before returning home. Will be flying out of Quebec City so your comments regarding the ease of using your airport make it sound like a good decision. Enjoy your time in Vancouver and your cruise!

@Beeline Cruiser Sorry about the change in itinerary, I know it is not what you planned on, but at least they are giving you very good compensations.

Enjoy your cruise. I was on board 8/18 to 8/25 and had a great cruise.

@bruce85 You can be use RC credit card points to purchase onboard credit, which can be used toward purchase of a drink package.

@Rogueperson Hoping your cruise goes off without any problems. I’ll be following along as well as I also will be boarding on 9/28.

Thanks for the tip.

I was on board for Radiances 8/25 sailing and didn’t have any delays getting to port or hear about any issues. This was the smoothest cruise I have ever been on. I am sorry for those who’s trips have been cancelled, but must admit I am glad I was not impacted by this. Glad everything is ok again.

I should get my 1st block during my Radiance August 18 cruise. I was shaking my head, when I looked at that picture of the carpet down the hall 🙂

1) was supposed to say I haven’t heard of an exception. Sorry

My sister and I sailed on Liberty out of Galveston 4 or 5 times. We love this ship. Great crew, good food and fun times. She is not the newest ship, so she is not in perfect shape, but she was still beautiful and in really good shape and the crew was always working on something and cleaning away. Glad to hear she and her crew are still doing a great job. Thanks for the review. I might have to look for another cruise on her.

1) I have heard of an exception, but you can always call and try. 2) Drink Coupons start at diamond level, but check your Platinum perks for drink discounts. Use the other persons as well. 3) 1 bottle per person is the new rule, so you each can bring one even if you drink it all. We bring a small wine bottle opener in our check in for our room, ask for wine glasses at a bar or from room steward and take wine to dinner. Good luck, prices are crazy.

@Awjeez317 Great review. Thanks for taking us along.

On Freedom in June and water park is running between $160.99 and $169.99. I don’t usually pay for any extra’s, but going with family and my niece has purchased a water park cabana and there are 8 to 10 of us, so to be together, 2 of us have purchased just the water park tickets and hope we will be able to be somewhat near them. I also am hoping we can catch a sale.

Following along. Happy anniversary, and enjoy your family and cruise.

@HBCcruiser, Glad you made it on board. Sorry to hear about your missing luggage. Do you have a message on your cabin phone stating they are holding it down on deck 2 for some reason. That happen to my sister. She had to go down and open it for them. Can’t remember what they saw, but it was nothing bad and they let her close it up and take it to her room.

@HBCcruiser Following along. Hope you get DD issue resolved quickly and can be on your way!

Yes, silver would be fine! Hope you like it, or liked it.

Sounds like you might have already booked, but if not, research the ships as there are differences. Size, restaurants, things to do, itineraries, class of ship (fewer bells and whistles as the ships get older). I am not saying there is anything wrong with any of them or you won’t have a great time. I like all classes and have had a great time on each cruise I have gone on. Have a great cruise.

@Awjeez317 Enjoying your review. I sail on Radiance in 19 days, so I am getting my pre cruise fix from reviews. I saw you like ginger beer. Have you ever tried tequila, lime and Ginger beer. One of my favorites. But I like extra lime in mine, so I always need to ask for several extra lime pieces. Enjoy your cruise!

Safe flight home. Thanks for the review

Yes it does. Thank you or posting this. I cruise on August 18th and will be in Skagway a few days later. Of course this is the excursion I have booked.

For every 5,000 points, you can buy $50.00 OBC.
