My experience is that Poo-Pourri does NOT work in cruise ship toilets. Thankfully, I also had a small bottle of Febreze Air Effects with me the last time. Just my experience. :)

I was just trying to convince my SO to do this exact itinerary and boom, I find your review on Cruise Critic! This might just be what I needed to convince him. Thanks! As a former Valley Girl (born and raised), I can like TOTALLY tell that you are from my beloved former state. I miss it so much. Fargo doesn't quite compare.

They will not always wait for you, but they will always accommodate you.

 

I was on an Alaskan cruise on Royal Caribbean back in 2006 and some people were on a dog sledding excursion where they flew you into the glacier by helicopter. The weather turned and they couldn't get off the glacier; the ship left and the next day they flew them to the next port of call to meet up with the ship after spending the night on the glacier with the Eskimos.

 

Now that's what I call an excursion!

I wish I could be this lucky. How freakin' cool! Memory of a lifetime.

Try Bodden Tours where you can have a car and driver for the day. They will design the tour around what you request. The island is nice just for a pretty drive and you can include lunch, shopping, etc.

 

Enjoy Roatan!

I second this. Ask for Jerry if he is still there. He was working on setting up his own company back in February. You get a private driver to take you around the island and can get out wherever you want. Jerry was great! He took me to a local grocery store which was interesting, to get souvenirs for my kids, the cameo factory and even showed us his house. Can't beat the deal either. We learned a lot about the culture of the island from him. $40 per person for a private car and driver! We got to meet Victor personally at the pier. Great communication prior to cruise via email from Victor as well.

We used Galveston Limousine Service back in February. We were very pleased with them and it's only $50 round trip if you book online.

Congratulations! I have always found your advice very helpful. :)

I've read many reports here that say the regular coffee is not bad, especially from the Main Dining Room.

IMO - Dining room (good), Promenade non espresso black coffee (okay), Windjammer (pass if you can). Keep in mind that I like good strong black coffee. Others will have their own preference. Also, this was on Liberty for what it's worth. :)

I can confirm that they had lobster in the WJ on the second formal night in Feb 2017.

Congratulations! I'm excited for you. :)

LOS was my first cruise and I loved it!!! February 2017. Now have one of her sister ships, Freedom booked for March 2018 for a family cruise.

I imagine this depends on which airport you will be flying out of and what time of year. My personal experience is that we made a 4:00 PM flight out of IAH with only 5 minutes to spare in Feb 2017. This is because fog delayed the ship entering port and we were not allowed off of the ship until 1:00 PM. We were the lucky ones. Most of the people we met on the ship had to rebook their missed flights. Also keep in mind the amount of time it will take to clear customs. We had very long lines.

2 formal nights on a 6-day cruise according to the Royal Caribbean website.

Family of 16 is flying to Fort Lauderdale for a cruise next March. Some of us live in North Dakota, some in California, and some in Manitoba. The 8 flying out of Winnipeg got a direct flight for way cheaper than anything I could find on the south side of the border. I'm still watching for price drops for the rest of us who have yet to book.

Thank you.

We are sailing on older ship - Enchantment OTS. I imagine the only ones shown at pool are G rated for all-ages.

Thank you. I bought luggage tag holders for my whole family as stocking stuffers, so this will come in handy for all 16 of us and save a ton of paper. Easy to download.

Chrome has known problems with the site. Try FIrefox.

I use Chrome exclusively for this site and very rarely have issues.

You're welcome.

 

Have you considered doing Alcatraz on your own? You are right right by where the ferry leaves from. You can buy tickets online before you leave but I would check now, because they sell out quickly.

 

You could then find just a hop on hop off to do.

 

Would probably be cheaper.

Still tickets available for early ferry to Alcatraz if you are on September 25th sailing.

I second this idea.

As a former native to this area. When you return from Alcatraz, the Embarcadero is very walkable if you would like to see the Ferry Building, the Exploratorium, and Fisherman's Wharf. China Town is also a walkable distance.

Another option is to do the hop on and off tour which gives you a little more flexibility to see things on your own time. Busses travel around a loop regularly and you get on and off when you feel like it.

I'm sorry. Anonymous sources often come up proving to be false.

There was an official announcement on Royal Caribbean Blog announcing this yesterday as well.

For my March 2018 cruise on Freedom, the price is $74.23 CAD or $57.39 USD per day. I will wait to see if it goes on sale around Black Friday or Christmas before purchasing. I keep checking, though.

Thanks. An inconvenience for innocent travelers from listed states with the higher cost of passport as ID.

Talk to your state legislature. They are the ones who have made this possible for you. They knew about the requirements well in advance and refused to comply siting privacy concerns for their state's citizens. Now that the deadline is here, they are all scrambling to come up with a solution.

I have never seen the fresh OJ for $7. I've had the package last two cruises, but I remember prices being $3-4 roughly. I was able to get it in the Windjammer and the dining room for breakfast.

You are correct. I looked back at my bill, it was $4.

Fresh squeezed OJ from bar within WJ. Always available for breakfast, sometimes still have some around lunch time. Included with drink package or $7 per glass! Never saw smoothies.

My first ever cruise was on LOS in February 2017. We got to the cruise terminal at 10:45 and were on the ship at 11:15 AM.
