Is there one of those on each ship?

Yes, there should be.

Only an hour before if the ship is cleared for boarding.  I wouldn’t count on it if you already have the first boarding group. 

Since we're the first cruise out and nobody will be on the ship before us; our hope is that they'll be able to start boarding early.  And, if not, we'll be curb sitting soaking in the excitement watching others arrive.

I just checked at the purser’s desk and was told there isn’t a LA on this cruise. Presumably because it’s a simulation cruise. 

the person I spoke with advised that when the first paid sailing goes out on 10/3, there will be one but she said she wasn’t certain who that would be.

CruzinGal#9, I hope you will report back on the suite experience.  We cruise 10/31 with a 12:30 boarding time so I'm planning on getting there at 11:30.

Thank you so much for checking on that.  Hope you are enjoying the cruise!

CDC site updated to show Liberty as completing her test sailing.

Now the site says crew only…..approved for simulation.

I have no idea what it means that’s why I put it here.

That you can’t trust the info on that site.

The info or the cdc?

Take your choice, but I meant the former.

I choose both.

I guess there were no volunteers, as there were on other Royal ships.

? Other than RCI staff, everyone on the test sailing is a "volunteer".

according to the cdc the boat has to be at a minimum of 10% capacity to be qualified as a test sailing.  Someone here said liberty was just over 16% capacity so it should’ve counted.  
 

i wouldnt be shocked if this is just another mess up by the cdc and it should say restricted and not crew only approved for simulated.  In the past 2 years I can count on exactly 0 fingers how many things the cdc has actually gotten correct.

We can't say the info displayed is wrong because the CDC is displaying it wrong or if RCI gave them them the wrong info. Some of the info being wrong has been an issue for at least 3 months.

Question for those that were on the Liberty test cruise.  By chance did anyone notice if they have coke machine?

[Tree_skier]

Last time I was on Liberty there was no Freestyle machines.

I was  hoping one was added while they have been sailing around the sea for the past 20 months.  Wishful thinking!

I'm sure we'll see some live reviews coming pretty soon and all questions can be answered..  You never know what might have happened.
