We will be onboard with you! Happy Sailing!

We have done Mr Sanchos once and Nachi Cocum 6 times. Nachi is our hands down choice. More private, more relaxing, better food and service. We like the fact that everyone there is on the all inclusive package.

Thank you!!

Thinking about booking this sailing. As you can see we haven't sailed anything on RCL bigger than Freedom class. Will it be too late to book show times and speciality dining, or will we still be able to find times? Thanks for your input!

I work for Disney and I agree with kccrzr's suggestion. Depending on where you are from if this is a once in a while trip, I would hit the highlights and they have outlined a fantastic day. Yes, it will be more to add on park hoppers and yes it will be a busy day, but I think you know this already! The key is the advanced reservations for fast passes at MK and dining at Epcot. If you purchase your tickets in advance you can do all of these things online or in the my Disney exp app. Have a great time!

I am platinum on both Disney and Royal. I think you will enjoy Royal for what you are looking for. IMO Royal offers more activities than DCL, especially for your age group. I would suggest Freedom class and higher.

On our Alaska cruise in May I was forced to run on the treadmill because I could not handle the cold wind on deck. Running on the treadmill turned out to be ok when I saw a pod of whales jumping out of the water - definitely gave me something fantastic to look at.

We will be on Freedom in November. Can't decide treadmill or track. I am not a big fan of running in circles or on a treadmill, but it has got to be done!

Bill - congrats on your weight loss! I am down 57 due to running as well!

We were there last year on Thanksgiving week and it was warm enough to swim. We did Mr Sanchos on that cruise, but last September we had done Nachi Cocum and I would go back to Nachi again over Mr Sanchos. However, it is just my opininon!

Keggy and Tuflife42 - We are also on the August 30 sailing. We were on this ship in April - 12 and 29 sailings. It was a great ship. Captain Charles should be back in time for our cuise. We are really anxious for this cruise. Did you sign up for the Meet and Mingle? Any questions we can answer?

Hi Bev! We are signed up for the meet and mingle and the roll call! Can't wait!!!

Thank you!

We are leaving on LOS Eastern itinerary in 22 days!!!! YEAHH!!!! I've been reading about the Quest game - can anyone tell me where we need to go to either watch or become participants in this game? Also, is anyone else on the August 30th sailing?

tuflife - I am on your sailing! Can't wait! :D

We are sailing on the Liberty in November (Thanksgiving week). We are really hoping the kids can enjoy the flowrider and H2O Zone. Has anyone tried this in the fall? I have read that the pools are cold in January...how about November? I just want to prepare my kids if it going to be cool. We are from Houston so used to warm weather :) Thanks!

We sailed the Mariner the week before Christmas last year. It was HOT on the islands that we visited (Western). We found the water in the pools a little cold to swim in but we laid by the pool a couple of times. Keep in mind that I am from Florida though, so what I think is cold depends!

In case you are interested we posted a quick mini-review for our June 7th sailing.

Thank you for posting! I appreciate that you posted a balanced review!

thank you! but, is that just adding the number of outlets or is the actual outlet in the room diffrent from normal outlets on land? because i have heard rumors of that. (i know this is a very small issue, but when you have two 17 year old girls staying in one room who need curling irons and hair straighteners AND chargers for ipods/cell-phones/who knows what else...its not.) so thank you for your patience! haha.

The outlets in the main area of your room oare the same. If I am remembering correctly there were two plugs to the left of the mirror and one to the right. The plug that is different is in the bathroom. It accomodates a razor. So a power strip from home will work in the bedroom!

lephysteria - I just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful trip report. It was so informative and helpful! We are thinking of staying at the Hyatt Regency the night before the cruise. I would like to rent a car and drive down so that I don't have to pay for parking at the port but I am having the hardest time trying to do a one way rental with enterprise!!

Thanks again!

what exactly is a polarized adapter? is that different from like, a powerstrip?

I think this is a polarized adaptor. This is also what I took as well. We have one that we use at our house for our cell phones. I like using this over a power strip so that you don't have the bulk of the cord taking up space on the desk.

trying to decide which night to book Chops! YUM YUM

 

Thanks

We just booked CHOPS online for Thursday night on our sailing. That looked like the best night for us on the menus. It was surprisingly easy to use the online system!

I just finished reading through this thread! I don't have any Liberty pictures to contribute but I can contribute this picture from Labadee!
