I am following your review as I booked the 4 night to Bermuda in August as first time we will be Diamond and fit into the schedule and I wanted a short, easy get away, though neither my daughter nor I really like Bermuda.    I have never been on Liberty so  your comments are very helpful. 

Marmalade.  One of the best  restaurants I have been to.  I always wondered why the chef/owner was not on  Food Network or Top Chef. 

I am glad you liked  the  Trellis bar.  I believe there are mostly new drinks  there since last summer, but the bartenders were pretty good at accommodating  requests for  drinks.  

I I am really enjoying your review. I was on the Oasis last summer - my favorite bar was the Trellis bar though. Have a wonderful cruise!

Thank you

Does anyone have a current menu for   Sabor on Liberty?

Do you recall where the Casitas were and how many on the different levels?

I agree  about the  beds at the pool.  At my age they are also difficult to exit and enter but I  have found the lifeguards are able to assist me as I try to get a bed near the end   where the guard stands.  I love the pool and we try to be the first ones there as then I feel it is like a private oasis.  The pool was packed later in the day on the 2 times last year I was there.

This is a wonderful.  I will follow along  as I always wanted to do a cruise like this but have mobility issues. I will be curious to  see how your excursions go.

I love this post!   

happened to me too. Not sure if I was hacked but hope not

I checked my cruise prices again, and for my Thanksgiving cruise the Beach Club dropped again so I cancelled and rebooked.   it is now half of what I paid on the  Oasis last summer and on the Anthem last Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the advice.  I just checked for my Thanksgiving cruise and price  dropped about $40 so cancelled and rebooked.  This is  the lowest I have been able to book the  beach Club, which  I think is great.    I prefer the pool, close bathroom, and great lunch  at my age.  But to each his own.

I enjoy your reviews.  My daughter and I  also did Margaritaville last July and our host was Lakeisha.  If she is there, ask for her.  She was wonderful.

I booked the New Year's cruise after the World Tour.  I was curious as to the condition of  the ship.  Any info appreciated. 

I recently made  Diamond but I am confused as to  what is available and when in the formally known as Diamond Lounges and now renamed but not sure as to new name.

I will be on Liberty and  Odyssey  this year and curious as to what is available and when.

Any help is appreciated.

 Thank  you.

You also get to leave your carry on bag at the Key reception area which can be really helpful  depending in when cabins open on your cruise.  You get a very good lunch and also a breakfast when you leave. I have used it several times and generally paid only a little more than if just got internet for 2 devices.  

There were issues getting off for the ports using the walker.  It was very  disorganized, and  I know people in wheel chairs and some  with strollers were having  issues as well.   Most of the staff actually were very nice but the system to get off was not.   Getting back on using a walker also took time. I had been on the Oasis in August and after having issues, and discussing with Guest Services,  the staff then was wonderful when getting off and on the ship.  Not so on the Anthem.  

   I also found some other cruisers pretty rude because of my using a walker,  but that is not the fault of RCCL.   I  do. not use the  walker all the time but it has amazed me how horribly people who are handicapped can be treated.

I was on the  Anthem for the last Thanksgiving cruise and I  use a walker.  I suggest you make sure Guest  Services knows about any disability if you did not already let them know.

 I did not find the ship particularly handicap friendly.  

  There is a special tram for handicapped on CocoCay- thought you may know about it already from all your cruises.   

     I really liked the   Anthem.   I am sure you will too.

I am considering booking a holiday  cruise but concerned re smoking due to allergy.  On what side of deck on  deck 11 is smoking permitted now?

Thanks.

This was a very enjoyable review.  I sympathized with your mom's mobility issues as last 2 cruises I had to use a walker, and let's just say not everyone was polite. 

I was on the Oasis last August  and all the  luggage on our side of our deck came very,  very  late- I never thought of using an AirTag but will from now on.

If you go to the Beach Club, enjoy.  We did it in August and then in November.   It is expensive but worth it.

 Enjoy the  Oasis.

I was on the Thanksgiving Anthem cruise and used a walker.  While most of the children were polite and held elevators for me, many older people my age, and slightly younger, were awful.

I was on the Thanksgiving cruise also.  I did not see many kids in the Solarium but   perhaps it depended on where you were sitting. We were in a Jr. Suite and our attendant,  Irish, was fantastic.  We  only ate in Coastal Kitchen, Jamie's and  Wonderland for dinner.  The latter two  were great.  Service in CK was excellent, but the food was mediocre.   We actually really liked the lunch in 270.    I use a walker.    The kids I encountered where  fine-  most held the elevator for me. It was  some older  people, oddly, who  were rude. The  guys in Schooner Bar and Vintages were great. This was the first RCCL  cruise in a long while where I did not have issues and  had to spend  time at Guest Services.   RCCL still has to work in issues for people who  have mobility issues- Anthem was a mess on that.  

We were on the Symphony Nov. 2019 for  Thanksgiving  and  ate in Chops and they brought us Turkey  from the main dining room as well as our  ordered  dishes.  I am on the Anthem next week and am hoping for the same thing if I cannot get into Coastal Kitchen. ( I have a  Jr. Suite).
