Yes there is parking right next to the embarkation hall. It's $20 per day (24 hour period).

You will find it in the cruise planner under dining. If you don't see it, you may be too early. It is usually one of the first things to show up under dining...

They'll head to the DR before they trek to Labadee. It's a 1:20 minute drive to Jamani, DR... There is a whole lot more to loot there than whatever a days supplies might be at Labadee

Great news! Next week is going to be a little bit better. Thanks for doing this Andrew.

I just used Cruise Control last month and you are correct, it is $25 per person. They were fine as far as service was concerned.

I've used Galveston Express as well as Uber... It'll always be Uber going forward. It's very easy and just as cheap.

My grandson just graduated from HS and works at Wendy's here in CA. I asked him what thought about the new $20 an hour rule. I was surprised by his answer. He said it's stupid because he believes it's going to lead to the closure of his restaurant and he'll have to find a new job. He's been there for over 2 years now. He needs part-time flexible work because he is just starting college and this is the closest to home so it's really convenient. He said "I'll take the money as long as it lasts but I don't think I'm worth $20 an hour and the potheads I work with who are stoned everyday, all day at work definitely don't deserve it."

I don't usually use mine either but DW usually does... She'll go and get a Latte to have with breakfast before we leave the ship.

I believe that one voucher gets you 40% off a bottle under $100 and 20% off a bottle over $100. I'm not 100% sure though. I'm sure some else will chime in and confirm.

The last few cruises I've been on they have been available each day. I do remember some posts back a while ago indicating that it was inconsistent but haven't read that at all in quite a while. Have you seen any recent reports where someone was denied on debarkation day? I'm hoping this has been standardized across the fleet. 🙂

I have never missed a Costa Maya port and have never heard any indication it is a super hard port to dock. I have had excursions canceled due to weather but never missed the port. I'm not doubting that that is what was said to you but whoever said it was spouting complete nonsense.

That doesn't work if you are booked through a TA only if you book direct. My TA sends invoices almost immediately. I find it odd that the OP's TA is sending a screen shot of cruising power. I find your TA's "don't you see $0 balance due" to be a really weird statement and sending you a screen shot of their screen even weirder. Nowhere in your account are you able to see the amount owing when your booking is through a TA. Your TA should know this. As an example from my own experience... I booked a cruise with my TA yesterday. At 3:14 pm yesterday I emailed him and told him to book us Anthem of the Seas for August 2025. At 3:21 pm he replied he had booked but needed to call in to get my C&A discount applied. He sent an email attached PDF with Royals invoice that showed the price prior to my balcony discount being applied. . At 6:15 pm he emailed again with my deposited invoice showing the deposit paid and the price he had quoted outstanding minus the deposit paid. I don't know what your TA isn't doing exactly that is supposed to generate an invoice but it seems near automatic from my experience.

So some guy on Facebook says he talked to the “company” and was told they are redirecting the ship. LOL my cousin girlfriends taxidermist stayed at a holiday inn express once and said there will be no cancellations at Labadee

ditto... I absolutely love it.

Sorry this is happening... Missing out is such a disappointment. Hopefully things work out.

I am more cautious in downtown LA than I am on Labadee. I won't even drive through Chicago. Portland is a seething cesspool. I could go on and on... This fear mongering over Labadee is nonsense.

No one to contact if you are inside the strictest cancelation period. Just show up and tell them she isn't coming. Cruise planner purchases, taxes and fees will be refunded automatically.

Sucks you have a crappy TA... Mine would have had mine to me within minutes of payment being processed.

I have been successful canceling excursions onboard up to 48 hours in advance. I once tried to cancel within 24 hours but was denied.

Contact, travel agent and ask them to send you a copy of Royals invoice. Problem solved.

I was pretty disappointed as well. I'll probably book one but only because it's convenient.

I've been on Liberty twice. Once in Oct 2018 and a second time in Dec 2021. The Liberty 2018 sailing was the cruise that addicted me to Royal Caribbean Cruise line and to cruising in general. I have another Liberty coming up in September, 9 night Canada/NE cruise. While being an older ship she is still a great ship and I'm already counting down the days until we sail. She is bigger than Explorer but just a little. You only really notice it Promenade. It has one my favorite ice shows.

Yes, you can switch up one of the passenger up to 72 hours before sailing.

Yes, it'll be on your seapass card. I've never tried but I imagine you could change subject availability.

I was on Adventure last week. The coffee machine in the CL was working most of the time. Occasionally the milk steamer would malfunction but the concierge became an expert at fixing every time it happened.
