Any recommendations for Miami Hotels on the beach with day passes?

Taxis are readily available.

Enjoyed your voyage tremendously! Thanks for spending your valuable time to take us along!!!

Enjoying your commentary and photos so much! Thanks for sharing!

Does RCCL charge for every room service delivery?I like to order a pot of coffee and some orange juice

each morning. What will the service charge be on such

a delivery? Thanks!

Are there any other single seniors on this sailing? Looking to share evening meals with other singles.

My husband, son and extended family sailed on the Quantum for the New Years holiday cruise last year and found the lines for dining to be intolerable even though we had reservations for all dining venues. We waited over an hour to get in The Grande on New Years Eve and the food was thrown at us, no bread, no butter, really not a treat!

Returned for a second cruise in February and by that time they had added a few more staff members, but the bars were terribly understaffed still. I am not sure I will travel on this class again!

Quantum was beautiful, the cabins were lovely except for those half-backed vanity chairs (what were they thinking?), the staff servicing the staterooms on each cruise was fantastic! However, the problems with the restaurants was just not fun! The lack of friendly staff was so apparent! For the rather pricey fares I would much rather sail on any other RCCL ship!

As usual, I enjoyed your review so much! Have fun on the Jewel! Can't wait to hear about it!

Our first cruise was on the Sun Viking in the mid '70s.

I remember the meals being finer with much more extensive menus.

Chocolates on your pillow every night.

Free soda.

Passengers always beautifully dressed.

Impressive shows.

Labadee in the mid-80s consisted of one barbecue, some native Haitians selling

handmade wares, a small area for children to play, rustic restrooms, a volleyball net or two and you tendered in to land.

Passenger lists.

Gifts on your bed.

Four page newspapers with stock quotes, sports scores and the headlines of the day.

Those were good times!

Very clever cruise review! I love it! Can't wait for more!

Will be traveling onLiberty mid-August. Were reservations necessary for the main show?

Well......if you go on down the beach to Tabasco's......I think it is much nicer there. I checked with a few resorts there before we went to see if they had day passes and came up empty on that. I think I heard that the Puebla Bonita might let you sit at there property. I would give them a call. Any of those places along the beach have great Mexican food. There is a restaurant in town called Cabo Wabo. I heard someone say that they went there and had a good lunch. It was really hard to find any research on this!! But definitely do the boat ride!!!

Thanks so much for that info. You have the greatest information! Appreciate it so much!

The boat ride to the rocks looked neat. Any suggestions about things to do other than the beach you visited?

Enjoying your review immensely! Thanks!

So excited to find your review! They are always terrific!

You don't know how many times I have thanked you mentally for the "sand on the feet/baby powder" trick! Thanks!

Have loved ALL the photos! Never too many! And your commentary is terrific! Thanks for all the energy and effort you have put into this review.

Quite a few years ago we had Captain Liz as our Captain on a transatlantic run. She attended our visit to the bridge and I pointedly asked her if it was harder to be a female Captain and she replied, "Yes!" Wherever we ventured we saw her and the crew obviously loved her! We thought she was fabulous!

Agree with those who said they miss the salads, fruit salads and other healthy choices in the Promenade Cafe.

Sea days the main dining room is terrific. Nice menu, extensive buffet and excellent salad bar. Some really good chocolate desserts and cherry crepes.

Will miss Park Cafe on our next cruise!

Went through the Liberty on the RCCL web site deck by deck but could not find a Park Cafe. Does anyone know if there is one on the Liberty?

Enjoyed your report so much! My husband and I were on the New Years cruise which was horrible. iPads do not replace human beings in the dining rooms!!

Were back on in February and, although there was a bit of improvement in the restaurants because they had added staff, I cannot say the dining experiences were terrific!! Although Bayonne is only 50 minutes from our home I am not sure I can take an Anthem cruise. Just got off a B2B on Oasis and those cruises were sooooo much better than the Quantum cruises! I felt we were in an experiment on Quantum!!! Don't want to be a "lab rat"!!!

We have sailed both Oasis and Allure and prefer decks 7, 8, or 9 on the hump.

You are close to the Promenade, Boardwalk and Central Park and don't have to wait so long for an elevator.

Condolences on your loss! I hope you can relax and enjoy the soothing seas! I have sent out white wash several times, but it has always come back "dingy" white, so I take enough clothes to see us through the B2B and hand wash underwear if we are running out. Safe traveling!
