I am currently on Liberty. The steward opened ours on the first day. No problem. It has been great!!

I am currently on Liberty of the Seas and have noted a few changes in regards to port shopping and wondered if anyone knew the back story. We attended the port shopping lecture as we always do but this time it was quite a bit different. Not sure if it was Shopping Guide driven or if it is pandemic related, etc. Normally the port shopping lecture has 12-15 recommended shops at each port and lots of give-aways and coupons for free trinkets (daughter loves them). This time there were about 5 recommended shops and very few “free” things to lure you in. Most notable was the absence of Diamond International recommendations. I have been cruising for decades now and Diamonds International is always on the “must shop” list for all three cruise lines I have been on. Just noticed this change and did not know the reason. Thanks for any insight. It did not change my experience at all. I am still having a great time and not worried about it. Just curious about the change.

Perfect!!! Thank you.

Hi! We leave tomorrow and I had not planned on taking my own hairdryer as I normally am fine with the one on the ship and I am normally flying in so like to save the space. But as I am packing I am wondering if it is worthwhile to take my own as we are driving to the port so I have the space. Haven’t been on this ship since pre-pandemic and I cannot remember what the hairdryers are like. We are in a Junior Suite. I saw related topics on the Harmony, but as that is a new ship I did not think it would be the same. Thanks!
