Interesting. We were on Liberty in March and booked as myself and a girl friend in one room, and then the husbands in another room. We linked the cruises when we booked, and both rooms showed up on my app.

On the app it should show your cruise and underneath it will be the cruise that you are linked with.

I love the purple! Very pretty and I bet they are easy to find amidst a "sea of luggage".

Happy to read your review! We are doing two trips to Europe next year that have time between each cruise and like you, I am struggling with travel info overload. Looking forward to reading about your exciting vacation.

Thanks for your review. We have booked Anthem and Norway for next year.

We had a junior suite on Wonder in March and the mattress felt fine, not too hard and not too soft.

Thanks so much for your review and tips on each port. Just booked this cruise for next May, your review was very informative.

Two weeks ago walkoffs started at 6:45. We had an airport transfer and we left at 7:30.

We did an RCI excursion, Panoramic Ephesus because we were getting tired, and it was good. But if I ever come back, I would book a tour that included Mary’s house. Several people I talked to did private tours and they also had positive experiences.

Currently on Odyssey and docked in Kusadasi Turkey. We did not need a visa.

And here is the letter

I am not expecting any but it will be interesting to see if Royal offers us any compensation, like perhaps discounts on our Greek islands excursions. I would like to also give a shoutout to the awesome casino bar staff who were expecting three days off. They have been busy in the casino this evening!!

Waiting to see what the Excursion desk is able to arrange, since Odyssey does Greek Isles next cruise, they at least already have contacts in place. And I commend Shore Excursion staff, they have been great when faced with all these changes.

Thanks everybody. Santorini is my favorite Greek island but I am still disappointed in missing Jerusalem.

So disappointed. We had to leave the ship and go through the terminal to clear Immigration in Haifa. Got our visa “gate pass” and returned to the ship. Everyone had to clear Immigration before the ship could reposition and move over to the regular dock. Suddenly they stopped calling group numbers to proceed to Immigration. My husband was wondering what was going on when the Captain announced that, due to the increasing geopolitical situation, Royal did not feel we were safe in Israel. We are leaving in an hour, having a sea day while we head over to Santorini and Crete. I am so disappointed.

We left out of Civitavecchia on Monday on Odyssey. There were no signs anywhere that you could not purchase spirits.

Captain has just announced that, due to the geopolitical situation in Gaza, we will go to Haifa instead of Ashdod. They are working to see if they can reschedule our tours because he said it is safe to go to Jerusalem and Bethlehem. My fingers are crossed!

We are currently still docked in Limassol Cyprus. Captain has announced that he is in communication with Miami and will let us know in an hour what we will be doing. Rumor has it that we will skip our two scheduled days in Ashdod and instead spent all three of our Israeli days in Haifa.

Someone from our casino page posted that this also is happening in the Celebrity casino.

Also on Freedom, Navigator and Symphony. I wish they had added Playmakers to Liberty.

I love both Playmakers and Portside but we prefer to eat at BBQ when on Oasis because it is the only Royal ship that has it.

We had a good day today with sunshine! Airport has re-opened and Port Evergades posted Thursday on FB that the port was open. This afternoon I saw Liberty sailing out of the port channel, so appears that the Port is ok for cruising. The Tortuga Concert on the Beach is scheduled to start tonight, so beach traffic may be a little congested.

We had dinner at Mason Jar two weeks ago and enjoyed it. It was 6 PM the first night and the place was busy.

Miami was okay, just a ton of rain in and around Ft. Lauderdale.

Today is the first day since Monday that the sun is shining on Ft. Lauderdale Beach! Our Ft. Lauderdale mayor has issued a State of Emergency. Residents have been asked to stay off the roads unless absolutely needed, because there are so many roads flooded and also blocked with cars that flooded and need to be towed off the streets.
