Is spring break still in May? I don't really go into my ptsd triggers because if you dont have it it probably won't make sense to you. But being able to leave somewhere triggering and being stuck in the middle of the ocean feeling overwhelmed and triggered hit differently.

Yes I know. The pool tv doesn't bother me too much. I saw that before I switched. I'll probably be mostly in the kids bit. We are only on for 4 days to nassau and coccay before we do 2 weeks at Disneyworld. I can see how you'd love allure. If comparing ships only, I'd say allure is the nicer ship by far My reasons for switching though are a few. The kids begged for slides and prefer the kids pool on liberty. Plus splashaway Bay. My youngest will be 5. But mainly I have ptsd among other things and allure is just too big for me. I love the look of Wonder and Icon but wouldn't be able to cope sailing on those for the same reasons. So we had specific dates we couldnt change and this was the only other option that suited what we wanted. The price wasn't that different in the end either but I do get how someone would prefer a newer ship. I think liberty will be fantastic if does get amped though for people like me who can't handle the supermassive ships.

Yeah agree. How long is "currently" though according to royal? We switched from allure, (exact same dates and same ports) because I thought Liberty would suit us better and I still do. Even though allure to me "looks" a lot nicer even without not getting the amp it was due either. So, though it would be nice to have the updates I'm okay if she doesn't. I am nervous about being caught out and cancelled if they do decide to amp in spring 24 though. We're 22nd april.

Hi all. I'm in a fb group and this question has been asked. A few people have supposedly been told "by royal caribbean reps" but they all have different dates or info. One says april/may 23 and cruises will be cancelled. A few say other dates. I was assuming nothing would be done before 2025/26 at least. Is the any up to date info on when Liberty might most likely been updated/amped etc. I'm cruising april 2024 on her for 4 nights as part of a longer disneyworld holiday from Scotland and I'm kind of nervous we could end up cancelled. Does that even happen, cruises being cancelled for sudden maintenence or rescheduled dry docking?

Oh my goodness thank you. This is exactly what I wanted to see. Do you know, I have typed all the other cabin numbers with the same corner bump out as ours into Google and youtube and still didnt find this. It's definitely not as overlooked as I was imagining it was going to be. Thank you i feel so much better seeing a video 😊

Oh interesting about the maybe on the atrium noise. I'll look into that though, or the possibility of it being an issue will drive me mad. It was literally this cabin or the opposite left when I booked so I'm consoling myself with it was this or miss out completely lol

Thank you this is so helpful. Slightly smaller is a bit of a concern as there will be 2 adults and 2 kids under 10. And i was worried people beside could see right into our balcony But this was the only workable option for us as we're stuck on these dates only. I feel a bit better knowing it's not a total nightmare cabin though so thanks

Hi everyone. So I've had to change to the liberty of the seas from my original cruise and when booking, the only balcony staterooms left were the "hump" or bump out corner balconies. I'm in 7648, so it looks like a corner one? Can anyone tell me what the difference is with this? Kind of feeling like they were last left for a reason. Assuming the balcony in that one isn't any bigger, but are they less private? Anyone have photos of this or corner hump balconies just like this one please? (Even on deck 6 etc ) Can't find any photos anywhere and wondering if its a less than desirable room . Thanks 😊

Do you have travel insurance?

Thanks so much for the tip, I will remember this. I didn't realise there was a free breakfast there at all. It looks beautiful but such a big ship to get to grips with

As Royal Caribbean changed their boarding requirements since final payment I'd imagine you'd be entitled to a full refund. Unless they've stated in their terms for your booking they have the right to change vaccination requirements at any time? Is there anything in your booking about that? I'm sorry for you. What a bad situation. Whatever someone's opinion on vaccination, I'm sure they're getting quite a lot of call about this change right now. I hope you get sorted

Looking at RC they're asking for double vaccination for all guests 5 and up I believe

Yeah I agree from looking at the deck plans I thought the same thing. Id imagine the odds of getting one of those with "guarantee" would be high? And I want to see the ocean. I've went for 10144. Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the replies everyone really appreciate it. I ended up booking an oceanview and picked a room to be safe. First cruise overplanning, went for a FWD room. Slightly second guessing my choice wondering if it might be too much motion but hopefully all is well.

Hi all. Hoping ive maangd to post this in the correct place First time posting and first time cruiser. I'm looking to book Allure of the seas tonight but I cant find this information anywhere. Does Allure have any obstructed oceanview balconies? I'm saving quite a bit by choosing "Guaranteed ocean view balcony" vs choosing my own cabin. But I wouldnt want an obstructed view. If so what exactly does that mean? Any help is so appreciated!
