  1. And yet they certainly do and thus making it even harder to navigate to /from the tables due to all their carry on luggage blocking everything.
  2. This can vary by ship/itinerary/dates...just check on the website.
  3. Be sure to do a bit of research on Embassy Suites...very old and tired looking.
  4. I thought it used to but it may have changed again. I do know if you book with VT and then have your membership number added makes a difference. Like I said it makes no difference to us either way...I book for the price point.
  5. We always pre pay gratuities but I think my card gets dinged (held) any way. The option to pay cash that last night is easy to do. I very rarely have anything due when we disembark.
  6. According to some recent guests it has not.
  7. Sorry you didn't know you would have access to your same cabin. It was made very clear to us and quickly slipped in/out the closed hallway door. Nice, and one of the great advantages of keeping the same cabin. We always do.
  8. I can't remember if this was an option so ask RomeInLimo...but we had no interest in going inside. Our time was spent better elsewhere especially at the Vatican.
  9. We had been in that CL on several cruises and it was interesting to see it as a cabin now.
  10. Those floor to ceiling windows were great...right !
  11. When we made the original booking these were extra add on's and so glad we opted for the Vatican admission and the private guide. They handled everything involved. Book it, you'll be so glad you did.
  12. Not that it makes much difference but booking one way includes breakfast while the other I believe doesn't.
  13. This is nothing like the #9708 we've stayed in 4 times on Liberty & Indy...certainly no hot tub. Thanks for the video very interesting.
  14. We've also sailed several times in the 2 bedrm aft on Liberty & Indy used to be the RFS Royal Family Suite.
  15. I agree but we're usually there when it first opens as we board early with suites. We eat and then leave but to many people hang out there taking up table space until the cabins open up. This is the real problem regardless of how many times the announcement is made to finish and leave...many pay no attention to it !!!!
  16. My booking directly with VT is $239 doesn't include tax. Booking directly with Hyatt member is $245 with tax it's $277. How are you saving that much booking directly...my date is March 3 one night.
  17. Had extended family on Serenade in the 2 bedrm that used to be the CL...nice cabin. They've been in most of the 2 bedrms on RCI that have them but their favorite was Harmony.
  18. It will clear out when cabins are ready about 1:30.
  19. We did the Oct 5th cruise on Liberty also and will agree with you. We've done this similar time frame a few times and usually there was amazing color. Oh well it was a great trip except for missing Portland and the pouring rain in Halifax.
  20. We used the private car option at the taxi line over the shuttle they offered to EWR. Worked out quick and easy for us.
  21. Sorry for the misunderstanding (how some apparently read my post) but it has always been the last day we've had our meetings. And depending on the port we've actually had some ports where Customs came onboard and we didn't have to leave the ship. Others we did a quick walk off/on. We always sail in the same cabin and have access to it regardless.
  22. Just got my confirmation from ValueTrips and it does not show the included tax, only shows the rate of $239 for my March date. Received the email much quicker than in the past. I emailed them late Thursday night and received it today Monday.
  23. No....no worries. They take a bit more time to respond than 2-3 days.
