Can't wait to read more of your review.

 

How much was the EZ cruise parking? Still trying to decide if I want a rental car and drop off ($100) or just pay the parking and keep the car.

 

 

What did you think of Southwest? I am flying to HOU on the them twice in the next few months from the DC area. I picked them for the non-stop flight. I use them to FL quite often because my sister lives in West Palm and they fly direct to there also.

 

Love the pictures of your room.

 

EZ was $54 with the "2016" discount code. Having status on a major airline spoils you. Let's just say SW isn't for me :-)

Day at sea

 

 

Meet & Mingle

 

 

 

The Cabin Crawl was well organized and a lot of fun. HAHA I was the organizer.

 

 

 

35 people in the RS

 

[widallas]

I see you were at the Meet & Mingle...lots of recent reports say people had a hard time finding out where and when it was. How did they let you know?

 

Loving your review so far -- wonderful pictures!!!

[sellwingri]

We'll be in a Grand Suite on Liberty in December. The RS is amazing!!!!

 

Where are the suite seats located in the theater?

 

Thanks for your review.

Could you tell me how many bathrooms does the royal suite have. I have it booked for May 2017. Thanks, Deanna

[alexkrn46]

Great review so far! Thanks

[wolfganghowell]

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to any info on the concierge. We had Carlos in May but I understand Anis is there now. Did they still have the officers cocktail party in the SL?

You know you are a cruise geek, when you take more pictures of the new scrubbers than the new slides haha

As someone who really appreciated the bright, airy and high-up CL aboard Serenade and Radiance this only serves to irritate me that we're still 494 days out from our own RS / Liberty extravaganza.

 

You're cruel like us on the pier runners. HehHeh.

 

Have an awesome time, and thanks again for sharing the pix. :D

Haha! Love it.

[Kcjarvis]

Woke up approaching the Grand Cayman anchorage

 

 

Tendering operations started 15 min early

 

 

Carlos escorted us past the lines and onto an awaiting tender

 

 

In port with us - more tugboats

 

 

Grabbed a shared $4 pp 8 min taxi to The Royal Palm. $2 entrance fee

 

 

They also have a pool

 

[Kcjarvis]

With 3 ships in port, it was a little crowded, but the tugboat crowd had a 3:30pm all aboard, so the beach thinned out by mid afternoon.

 

 

Skirt steak sandwich

 

 

Wings

 

 

Pizza

 

 

Another great beach day - Now back to the ship

 

 

[Stormy15]

We were on the same cruise in a grand suite. Loved it! Such a fabulous cruise! How crowded did you find Royal Palm? Also, we could not figure out where to meet Carlos in the art gallery for the tender. Luckily, they told us to go with a group going to the tender when they saw our gold cards. So it worked out well even though we felt a bit lost.

We did a cabana at the Royal Palm last time, it likely would have been better had the day not been overcast and drizzly but you can't pick the weather the day you go. The facility was the sort of thing DW was looking for: more organized that just rolling the dice on a public spot on Seven-Mile beach

 

It was the fallback because the Westin's "Resort for a day" deal had been sold out. Hoping we get that for the Feb. trip but Royal Palm's on the list if not.

Hey Ken. This is a really nice office, you must have gotten a promotion. I think my bill just went up:D

 

You guys have a great cruise

[Kcjarvis]

Woke up backing into Falmouth, not pronounced Foul Mouth haha.

 

 

Like Jon Snow, we walked beyond the wall, to our favorite restaurant in Jamaica - NAZZ for some local food. We felt very safe, and had no aggressive vendors or taxi drivers.

 

 

Best curry chicken in the world

 

 

We then walked back to the port and hopped in a $20 pp round trip taxi van to Doctor's Cave Beach

Jerk platter

 

 

The only thing dangerous in modern Jamaica is the $6 rum punches

 

 

 

Another great beach day, now back to the port for patties. We saw the Capt standing on the pier, and asked him to take us to Labadee. He responded, "I'd love too."

 

 

Another great sunset from the Suites Lounge
