Look to ebay for lots of logo items. Most, if not all, were free to the cruiser. Hats, T's, tote bags towels pins and much more. Many items from the Presidents cruise as well.  My favorite is the $39.99 President's cruise cowboy hat.  That seller has numerous items for sale and looks to be financing his/her next President's cruise.  😀

What's wrong with having a side hustle?

No more tribute bands in those ships with the Music Hall.

Royal doesn't make money on them. If it was held in a venue where drinks were served, then they would have reason to do it.

Every 70 points after that, 210,  280, 350, etc

The buffet is not bad as others have said, but the layout is the worst of any Royal ship we've been on.

Breakfast is free at Johnny Rockets with no crowds. Different menu from WJ and dining room.

They do, but I don't know the frequency or how many there are.

But don't expect lobster, it's only on cruises of seven days or more.

They haven't had trivia prizes on the Liberty since at least the September 7 sailing. The staff is blaming supply chain issues.

It also depends where the ship docks, so the walk could be as much as a half mile. There's a tram service operated by locals that will bring you the end of the pier. And yes, it's always hot. Why not rent a scooter before you get on the ship?

There was a 18 % tip included on my 4 free drinks . I gave a couple of bucks more to the waiter.

You are never charged 18% tips for your free CAS drinks. If you are, go to Guest Services. It shouldn't happen. I became diamond over 20 years ago and never had tips added to my account for the free drinks.

I've never gotten free bottles of water.   

It helps if you go to the same bar (the bartender knows you) or you tip accordingly. If you just go to a random bar and just ask for a bottle, chances are you will be charged. I saw this on the Liberty first hand last week. A random person walked up to the bar and asked for two bottles. The bartender charged for the two. I asked the bartender why he didn't change me for the same. His answer was, I know you and you take care of me.

I'm onboard. We're leaving in about an hour and scheduled to arrive Bermuda 845am Tuesday with allaboard 5.45pm. Shame we're missing the overnight but nothing we can do about it and at least we get to go still 🙂

I hope you all get some good OBC for this. You've paid a lot for a five day cruise and wind up with just eight hours in port. Lol

On last week's 9 day the captain and chief officers walked through the Royal Promenade for an hour answering questions on the last sea day.

They had a white night this past week on the Liberty. It seemed no one got the memo or even cared.

Captain Malvin is still on the Liberty.

Where are you seeing this? I can see the release dates on https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Deployment/2025_2026/2025-2026_Deployment_Opening_Schedule.pdf but it doesn't mention which ships

It seems very strange that Northeast sailings are not being released until mid February. Aren't they normally released in the Nov/Dec timeframe?

Saw it in a vending machine in the straw market.

You could also wait until 15 minutes before the show starts and go in as a walk on.

How is it looking? On AOS in March.

 

Good food, entertainment etc?

The shows haven't changed in about, seven or eight years. The casino is very cramped and difficult to move around in. Also it is very smoky at all times. Even the non smoking areas stinks of cigarettes.

It does on all ships that have a Royal Promenade. It doesn't exist on ships smaller than V class or on Q class.

While Q class ships don't have a promenade cafe, they do have a place that has small sandwiches and desserts.

Also Sorrento's pizza and the cafe for small sandwiches. JR's is a restaurant you have to pay for, about $17.99 plus 18 percent gratuity.
