These are my only 2. We were on Symphony back in 2019 and I seen this Canadian guy walking around everywhere, stopping random stranger and asking, "What do you think of Trump" When I told him I don't discuss politics on a cruise he got real angry, thought he was going to hit me, then he stormed off with an actual huff and went to the next person. It wasn't on a cruise, but at a Hibachi restaurant when someone asked me if I have accepted Jesus as my savior. He didn't accept my "I don't talk religon" reply and kept going, so I told him I worshipped Satan and can I have a small personal article of his to use in a ceremony. (A lie by the way)

If we are there, I don' think staying on the ship would be any safer. If militants wanted to overrun the island and possibly take hostages, they would certainly head for the ship,

You are both right, it happened in 2019 for cruises scheduled for 2020 and it was $18 per day, I bought it for my 9 day cruise that didn't happen.

I am reminded of the $28 drink package of 2020.

Thanks for doing this.

Yes, at least at teh time of my last cruise.

If the OP was referring to the Coke Freestyle machines, then it was 15 minutes the last I saw. if you get a refill at a bar, then no wait. I remember two incidents that reminded me of the 15 minute wait. 1. On Freedom, tried to get a Coke Zero, the flow started and after less than a second, that machine ran out of Coke Zero and stopped. Even though I barely got any drops I had to wait 15 more minutes since I started dispensing. 2. I was standing behind the world's dumbest cruiser which coincidentally had a Michigan Footbal jersey on. We walked fast to get to a machine on Allure before I did. When he put his cup up to the machine, it said he had to wait 3 more minutes. He pulled the cup back and I thought he would give me a turn, but he kept putting the cup back to the machine every 5 seconds. I started casually talking to him to see if he spoke/read English. He was oblivious, i talked to him for the entire 3 minutes to see if he would keep doing that. He did.

Do they have on site parking for the night we would stay there?

Going back to the question of lunch at Sabor, they just added the dining to the app for our cruise and it shows a $29/person lunch.. Slightly dissapointed, we enjoyed the ale carte lunch we did there on Freedom. We had a great lunch for less that that for both people.

I'ts been since 2015 since i was on this class of ship, but JR didn't serve breakfast on Freedom, The solarium on this class of ship only has a bar, besides the pool and hottub.

We enjoyed that one as well.

Its working today! I did see the same thing in Chrome and edge, didn't think to try Firefox, but all is well today.

Does Sabor still offer an ala carte lunch? We enjoyed that on Freedom in 2008, don't remember if it was offered in 2015.

Thanks for starting this, I did the same thing and found your thread. My cruise isn't till next May. We will drive in and make it early afternoon the day before, so parking will be important. Free parking great, I'll pay if its guaranteed to be there, Many reviews of hotels in the area have very limitied parking. Off to read your thread!

Found the site, thanks! Off to check to see what ships are in port on May 1.

I've always been able to see deck plans at will on Royal's site. After switching my next cruise, I can't view any deck plans, I just get this: I haven't changed anything on my computer, and Royal's IT has been questionable in recent years, I am looking for a security setting on my PC, but didn't want to chase my tail if others are having this problem. I have looked at this on two of my PCs with 3 different browsers. Off to check a mobile browser. Right clicking and selecting download image doesn't work

Which Bridge is this? How long after sailaway assuming this is close to Bayonne.

I heard it was supposed to into drydock this Feb, but that was delayed till 2026. (not confirmed) Thanks for the info, I do have handicap tags, so I'll plan on using that garage.

Thanks for that info, Our one Carnival cruise we stopped there, didn't see much, but had a great beach day, I would love to go back.

Would love to do that cruise. We are going on a 9 day cruise to Bermuda/St Martin/ San Juan, and hopefully Labadee.

Glad you mentioned the NY shore view. The last time I was in NYC the twintowers were still standing.

It does look like the DL is up in the Viking Crown area on deck 14.

Does Liberty have steam rooms in the spa area?

I will definitely take my camera on this cruise and try to capture the statue with my 400mm lens. Catching Liberty from Liberty!

Then I'll say I was underwhelmed! The aquatheater show was stil worth seeing, just the least favorite of the ones I've seen on Allure, Oasis, and Symphony, but still worht seeing. Theater shows were definitely dissapointing, avoid the balcony! They might be better if you can see the show better. Comedy was still good.
