Earlier this month on Liberty, last night of the cruise, I was sitting above the bar watching the movie by the pool, and looked down to one of the hot tubs. The people in the tub had a little chihuahua-type dog on the rim...

Looks like you’ve been on Majesty before, so you may know just how tiny those inside rooms are. If I had been offered the same for my 8/29/18 cruise I would have jumped at it. Especially now since I HAVE sailed in one of those sardine can insides!

I had a similar dream recently, about my upcoming September cruise with my daughters. Showed up at the port with no passports/paperwork, no time to drive home for them either. Just as hubby looked at me in exasperation, I told him “No big deal! We don’t leave today anyway!” So even in my dream I knew it was a dream :o

Always used to book direct with RCCL as I liked the control aspect. But last few have been with a TA thru my air mileage program, as I can get lots of miles that way.

I second Galveston and before you go, pass the time by reading Issac's Storm or see the Youtube movie of the same name.
Thanks for sharing the YouTube video; I had no idea of its existence. I fell in love with Erik Larsen’s storytelling in Isaac’s Storm, plus living on Texas Gulf Coast the subject matter is close to heart. His latest book Dead Wake (story of the Lusitania) was my cruise reading our last Alaskan cruise.
I also put my vote in for Hotel Galvez, especially for those who are driving in. You can use their gated parking garage for very cheap if you stay there pre-cruise (or even at Harbor House, a sister property right near the cruise pier). And Uber is a good alternative if you don’t want to wait for the hotel shuttle (or like us, forget to reserve it).

We're boarding her in September for a four night Victoria......can you tell us whether the large hot pool is still there where the gym is....?
This past September it was.

Splendour of the Seas 5 day out of Galveston - 2004. I waited 20 years for a honeymoon and it was worth the wait!
That was the only time I ever saw caviar hors d'oeuvres being served in the Centrum, and the next-to-last chocolate buffet (that was on Rhapsody OTS 2005)...

I can vouch for the ‘change birth date’ method. Just tried it and my points are now corrected. My first cruise still doesn’t show up however...

Cabin review is on the same page; below cruise review.
Oh, and I should have stated we were in 8092, aft.

Can you link to your cabin review we were in 8590 on the aft, and it shook like crazy for our 10 nights there B2b.

Just got back from this ship March 5th; we stayed in a JS. My review is here:

This is GREAT! Please tell your son he’s a dynamic story teller. I have kids who were at one time his age, and were fortunate to have their first cruise at that time, so I appreciate it from that fact. But, the thought that went thru my mind is that his viewpoint is what most adults need to have. A cruise is a wondrous vacation filled with sights sounds and tastes, and (barring truly disasterous experiences) we forget that when we get hung up on negatives that in reality are not that important in the grand scheme. I aspire to feel like your son every time I step on board!

Just off Vision OTS with new menus. At first wasn’t sure about everything being on one page and ordering everything (including dessert) at the same time, but it made for a nicer dinner IMO, and more streamlined which added to the experience. Of course, we do MTD so not sure if it affects the scheduled dinner differently. Maybe less choices but still met my tastes. On a similar note, I have to comment that for the past 2 years or so, sailing Liberty twice, Explorer and Vision once each, the MDR beef and lamb is exceptionally good. I had the leg of lamb one night, and lamb chops the last night, and they were YUMMY! Prime rib was perfect too. I love Chops but I think for my next cruise in Sept. I’m not going to bother with a specialty restaurant; just going to do MDR solely.

We did Alaska this past September, Explorer OTS out of Seattle. I’m glad we did, but do agree that there’s not much time for sightseeing. We had 1688 (corner aft balcony, deck 10) that offered spectacular views (just rained a lot, so didn’t get to enjoy it as much as we would have liked). Only booked excursion was the Skagway train thru White Pass, but due to engine problems it was cancelled. If you sail end of season, you need to be okay with plans being changed at the last second, but I’m glad we did it and would like to go back.

We were on Liberty early October. Was not impressed with either WJ or MDR coffee, but really liked the coffee delivered to our room each morning. It was strong like we like it, plus I brought a flavored creamer with me (the concentrated kind in a small bottle, no refrigeration) and it was nice sitting out on the balcony sipping on a cup of coffee like what I would make at home.
