Host Faith Posted June 21, 2012 Author #701 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hi, I just would like to add that my name is Krystle. :eek: :p I don't think we have covered all the ways to spell it yet, lol. Haha! Hey Krystle! Who knew there were so many ways to spell our name?! This is awesome lol :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Faith Posted June 21, 2012 Author #702 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Even though I read your great report as you were doing it, we are leaving for Europe in a few days from Australia and which culminates in our LOS cruise. So this weekend my work is to read this thread again from scratch. Going to be cold and rainy here so can't think of a better thing to do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hi Pushka! That sounds like a great vacation! You don't have that long of a wait at all, though I'm sure it feels like it. I'm glad the review is helping the time pass a little more quickly. Have a great time in Europe, and on the Liberty! Please come back and let us know what you think. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gapearl Posted June 22, 2012 #703 Share Posted June 22, 2012 LOL awww, well you look great! 30 was a shock for me this year! Ooooh, that's actually the class of ship we started with for Royal. We sailed the Adventure of the Seas back in 2009. The Royal Promenade is really cool, and we enjoyed the Solarium, Portofino, and Johnny Rockets. One of my favorite photos is Wes looking up at the Royal Promenade for the first time, ROFL: We had a pretty port-intensive cruise too in the Southern Caribbean, but the Med sounds amazing! Are you leaving from Rome? I would love to do that itinerary someday, maybe spend a couple days in Rome before the cruise. Your review of the ship definitely has me excited! Yes, I'm leaving from Rome. I need to lose 10 pounds before I go so I won't feel bad gaining it back when I get there. I LOVE Italian food! :eek: :o ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do the same thing to prepare to go to Rome. I love Italian food too! Have a gelato (or two or three) for me, lol! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWalmc Posted July 1, 2012 #705 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Vicki, I noticed you have sailed quite a bit and we are fixing to go on Liberty of the Seas W. Mediterriean and was wondering how expensive is the coctails and beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be about the same fleet-wide. http://www.thepreismans.com/ Go to the Allure link, then go to food and beverage menus. You'll see the actual beverage menus there. :) ~Chrystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandys57 Posted July 3, 2012 #709 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) I have read many reviews, but yours is BY FAR, the best I've ever read. It has taken me a couple of hours to get through the whole thing but time has flown by. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. You were very descriptive in your review, and I love a lot of pictures in reviews. The pictures show what a great time you and your friends had. Thanks! I can't wait to read through your other reviews, in the near future. :) Sandy Edited July 3, 2012 by sandys57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devvt Posted July 6, 2012 #711 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hi Chrystal, I just spent a couple of hours reading your awesome review and enjoying all the great pictures! I have to add a little bit to the small world theme - I was enjoying your Los Olas day when I suddenly saw a face I recognized - the owner of the EVOO Market! Not only is he a former NJ resident, he more recently resided in a very small town in central Vermont - our daughters were together at the local high school ten or so years ago! I knew that he'd relocated to Fort Lauderdale and opened this EVOO shop, but I never expected to see a photo of him on Cruise Critic! Small world, indeed!

theatkins Posted July 7, 2012 #713 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Because of the length of time in San Gervasio, we had to decide whether to head straight to Mr. Sancho's, or hire Alberto for another hour. I'm so glad we decided to remain with him one more hour. Our next stop was Hacienda Antigua, the tequila tour on the island. So. Much. Fun! I'm glad we didn't skip this one. I think it was less than a 10 minute ride away if I recall correctly. Love your dress! Care to share your shopping source?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Faith Posted July 7, 2012 Author #714 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Love your dress! Care to share your shopping source?! Not sure where Rae got that dress. She tends to shop at Forever 21 a lot. She's had that dress for a couple years though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee46 Posted July 8, 2012 #715 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Your holiday looks brilliant! We're going on a Mediterranean cruise in September (can't wait!) and were wondering if there's a kettle in the room for making tea or do you just have to order room service?

roe2ship Posted July 8, 2012 #719 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Great pictures here....I was looking at Mr. Sanchos beach. Would you happen to know what the fees are for jet ski rentals?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmaria Posted July 9, 2012 #720 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I had somehow missed your earlier trip reports but have gone back and read them all. You are a beautiful person with a great outlook on life! I will look forward to reading your future reports. Happy sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealHU Posted July 9, 2012 #721 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Host Faith, this has got to be the best review I've ever read on CC. Thanks for sharing and for all the pics. I'm planning on surprising my Mom with a Liberty cruise right before Christmas this year so this info was very helpful. You and your girls def know what you're doing. I just have 2 questions for you. 1. Royal Caribbean describes the beds in the staterooms as either 1 queen or 2 twins. However, the bed looks a little bigger than a queen. Do you think describing it as a queen is accurate or would you say it's closer to a king. I've actually cruised on royal once with my own cabin but I can't remember what the bed size was like. 2. Have you ever been on the Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage? I have friends who've told me it a MUST. With your travel expertise I was just wondering if you've been. Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
