Go into your online cruise manager and click to print your documents and it will show all your obc in the pdf. Same thing happened to me.

Happened to me too.

My sister will be coming to pick us up after our Cruise in 2 weeks. Is it pretty easy to find somewhere to park and wait and also for us to easily find after we disembark? We are Canadian so it is very costly to use our cell phone. Would rather have a pick up time and place set up. Thanks in advance for any advice :)

I too would like to know these things. Along with that, I have booked a cruise with 5 cabins total for family members. Can I cancel these and rebook during my cruise next week? I need to make some serious changes on these bookings anyway since the names have changed (marriages). The price of these bookings is the same now as when I booked.

 

Any help for all of the questions re booking on board?

I booked my upcoming cruise while on board Liberty in October and once home I changed ships. They transferred everything including the booking number and the OBC to the new sailing, no problem.

I also remember that they said the cruise is fully refundable. If it were me, I would cancel the cabins right before leaving so chances of getting the same cabins will be greater.

We put our kids almost 15 and almost 17 in their own room right next to ours for the first time on our upcoming cruise. I will have them check in at midnight which will be their curfew unless there is something special going on in the kids clubs.

What exactly does the CD do? I've only been on 3 cruises and other than seeing/hearing them make announcements, I'm not sure what they do. Do they plan the parties and bingo that we see in the fun times etc?

Josh is a floating CD at the present time. He works a ship for 2 weeks then off to another ship- imagine the stuff he would need to pack and unpack each ship if one person from each sailing gives him stuff.

 

also the cabin has limited space.

Josh has been cruise director on the Liberty since at least October.

I was very skeptical of the new dining going in as I've always loved the food and menus on previous cruises. Honestly there is nothing to worry about. The food was excellent. If you don't want extra bowls at your table, just say you want your own side and they will do it no problem. The food presentation is as great as always.

What was that chocolate dessert? It looks delicious and beautiful also. This thread is really easing my mind about my Liberty cruise in 20 days :) Thanks!!

Great review! Thanks! We will be on Liberty in 23 days and can't wait. I was just on her in October and had a great time. I hope the kinks are all worked out in the DR by the time we sail.

I recommend to educate yourself on swimming with captive dolphins and where the captive dolphins come from. You may have a change of heart.

Thanks for your review. It's a shame about the new menus. Im on liberty next month and was hoping to see some good reviews about them but looking at the reviews before yours, it doesn't look like they are being well received.

On Liberty in October they had a table set up in different spots around the ship trying to get people to dine there so I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem getting same day reservations.

Rose, is this you??? Hey we are going in next month again too! I hope it's the same one on the 22nd.

Yolanda and Bobby

Sorry not Rose :)

But I think we were on Henry's EEE tours together in St. Thomas. I'm Kathy and was with my sister Laura.

Im doing the eastern itinerary again on the 15th with my hubby and kids this time so I will try and leave the ship in tip top shape for you :D

Thanks for the review. We will be on the Liberty in 12 days or so. We will be diving at Grand Turk thru the ship but have our own equipment. I will however keep my radar up for problems.

Please report back about your experience. I don't want to cancel DH And DDs excursion yet as I see that Oasis has pretty good reviews on Trip Advisor so I'm hoping the OPs experience was a one off.

We will be flying into Miami airport with a cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale in May due to cheaper airfare. Can we check in for a cruise at MIA even though our cruise is out of FLL? Thank you very much for info.

Sorry, I'm not sure. Maybe someone else can help you with that.

I've only been to each airport once but when flying into Mia in October it was quick and efficient. We loved being able to check in for the cruise at the airport.

The taxis were waiting and the ride to the port was short and sweet.

Things may be different for our cruise next month with it being high season for travel and cruises.

Thanks for your comments. This makes me feel better as we are cruising on Liberty next month. We were just on her in October and had great service and the food was really good. I too hope they tweak these new menus with a few more soup and dessert options. Otherwise they look pretty good to me.

A few random comments while waiting for my flight home from the 1/11 Liberty Cruise:

1. There were table clothes on the tables EVERY night.

2. There was water service by the waiters – no carafes.

3. Bread was served piping hot and fresh in a basket – no rolls – but the bread was awesome.

4. The American Table menu was mounted on a large single page board – it was nicely done.

5. The American Feast menu was placed inside a napkin – the size of it looked too small for a “feast”.

6. The menus should all be standardized – and look like the American table menu.

7. Soup selection was VERY limited.

8. American Table - Appetizers were varied and we had a huge selection – all nicely presented – including the “shareable” ones.

9. American Feast – Appetizers were limited – as were soup selections.

10. I would add a soup to American Table – and eliminate an appetizer in trade.

11. I would add a soup to American Feast – and list on the menu that the shareable apps can still be had.

12. Food came piping hot – every meal – and was the best I have had on Carnival – perfectly cooked and presented.

13. I had Shrimp Cocktail every night – very fresh – served nice and cold – unlike some other cruises I’ve been on.

14. I’m not sure if all the perfection was because they had Miami/chef staff rolling this out – but if this is indicative of the normal going forward – then Carnival has done a great thing here.

15. We had any time dining – never waited for a table – and our waiter was super attentive – Michael – table 112.

16. We dined between 5:45 – 6:00pm each night – the room was fairly empty during those hours and seemed to really fill up around 7:00pm when we left.

17. Can’t comment on the desserts – didn’t partake.

18. The shareable flatbread is very good – try it – and the waiter serves it to you if you would like.

19. They have implemented a different procedure to reduce the line going in – you are greeted in the hall and “pre-checked” – room number etc. – and your table is assigned while in line – seemed a lot faster than in the past where they were dealing with the computer system to print out a ticket.

Thanks for the review. I sailed on Liberty with my sister in October and loved it so much that I am going on her again next month with DH and kids.

I am very disturbed about your diving experience as I have already booked the ship excursion for DH and DD. I think I will cancel (if they let me) and try to find another dive op.

I thought I had heard of a diving accident in GT with the Carnival sponsered tour a couple of years ago....

We had that same cabin last year on the Freedom and it was fine. While sitting on the balcony you had to really strain to hear anything from the lido.

We loved the location! It was so convenient to the lido deck and to the elevators to go down to the dining room and to the promenade.

After that cruise I decided I would always take cabins on panorama or lido from now on.

Have a great cruise!!

Thanks for the review! We are going on Liberty next month and I'm thinking about Secret Harbor also. Where did you catch the taxi from? Was it very crowded there when you went? Thanks

We had Suki last year on the Freedom and loved him as well! We also requested his section after our first time with him. I hope to see him on another ship in the future!

I'm surprised were not seeing many reviews of the new menus now that they have been on the Glory for a month. Anyone recently off Glory with opinions of the new menu?

I'm sailing Liberty next month and not really looking forward to the new menus but I will surely not starve and will report back with my feelings :)

When we were on the Liberty in October we booked the Glory for Feb but once home we changed our minds and decided to switch to a different cruise. We were able to change with no penalty and keep our OBC for booking on board. Then later there was a price drop and we were able to get the better price and still keep the OBC. I believe we paid 50% deposit and that the cruise was fully refundable up to final payment.

The island tours offered by taxi drivers at both docks include stops at Mountain Top, shopping, and a beach. Ask for a tour that takes you to Coki or Sapphire beach, because Magens doesn't have jet skis.

I don't recall seeing jet skis at Sapphire when I was there in October though I could be wrong.

We went to Sapphire in October and whe the beach was lovely, we found the snorkeling to be mediocre but maybe i was in the wrong spot. Looking at the water we were snorkeling to the right. I didn't venture out to the point as it was a little choppy. We are going back to St T in February and I'm thinking of trying Secret Harbor this time.

I do enjoy cruising to see different islands but I also enjoy land vacations but not AI. We go to Negril, Jamaica every year and stay in the cliffs area at a small boutique resort. We go out during the day and to different restaurants for dinner every day and always feel safe. I love the Jamaican people and the food is delicious. There are a few hustlers but not nearly as bad as they are around a port when a ship is docked.

We also discovered Roatan on our first cruise and returned the following year for 2 weeks staying in a smaller hotel.

Next up will be a 2 week land vacay (not AI) in St Lucia.

I like to learn about the culture and try the food etc so you can do a non AI land vacation and it is more exciting than some/most Al's can be.

I did one ai in Mx and did not enjoy muself at all. Felt trapped behind the gates.

All IMHO of course :)
