"LIVE" from the Liberty of the Seas/ 1-05-08

[cot427]

Thanks again for the pictures, it looks fantastic, just like the Freedom. Have fun in San Juan, enjoy the shows.

 

I want to here all about the ice show and production shows because I'll be on the Liberty in October.

 

Thanks Radio!

Radio - I have a few questions for you. My family and I will be embarking on Liberty this Saturday. I'm so glad you're doing this live report!

 

#1) Is the solarium pool large enough to swim laps in?

 

#2) Are they doing in-cabin babysitting? There was a thread a while back in which it was rumored that the Liberty (and only the Liberty) was doing away with in-cabin babysitting.

 

#3) What kind of door locks are there on the doors? Are there swing-across latches?

 

Thanks!

1010Transistor, it is kinda like paying someone to shock the snot out of you for 30 mins!!! I was physically forcing myself to be still. The therapist said "You'll get used to it really fast!" I DID NOT get used to it at all. I just laid there waiting for the next jolt! I have a pretty high tolerance for pain but something about those shocks made me crazy. She was NOT happy with me when I told her I wouldn't come back for more. She said "You are the ONLY person who has ever said that!" and threw her towels in the basket to clean up. Of course, she did still try to sell me $600 worth of products before I left. So, now it is massages or facials for me! Deb

Hello here are some answers. . . . #1 - No. . . the Solarium pool is smaller than the Main pool. . . .

 

#2- I will ask while onboard about Baby sitting. . .

 

# 3 -There is the standard lock, and a deadbolt. There are no Swing latches. . .

 

I am glad you are enjoying this report !:rolleyes:

Good morning Radio!

 

Thanks again for the fantastic pictures! Can I ask a HUGE favor? :rolleyes:

 

I'm sailing on the 26th with my family, including my 3 year old son who isn't fully potty trained. I heard there was a "Baby Splash Zone" for those kiddos in swim diapers. If possible, can you upload a snapshot of this area. I can't find any on the internet.

 

Happy Sailing!!

 

They make many specific mentions that only potty trained kids can use the H2O Zone. I will ask if there is a Baby Zone. . .

Radio, any chance of posting the spa prices? I have found the list of services but not prices. We like to do at least 1 spa treatment per trip. Last trip, I tried the Ioniethermie...won't do that again! Thanks for all the time you are putting into this! Deb

 

 

I will try to get the prices. . .

Sorry the post came a little late today. . .But for some reason, I am unable to connect on board LIBERTY. maybe there is a temporary problem.

 

But I am over at the Sheraton Hotel and Casino across the street. . . .and it works out better. . . .and it is FREE ! ! !

 

The Radiance is here with us today, until 730PM, then she will be off to St Thomas, USVI (Currently on an 8nt E.Caribbean).

 

 

 

Here are some pics from our arrival in San Juan, PR. . . . It is a very beautiful day, with sunny skies, and temps of 77f.

 

The Captain announced that we will be cleared at 315PM. We must be back on the ship by 9:30 PM.

 

Our current position is N 18.27.649 / W 066.06.675

 

 

Thanks for tuning in . . . There is one of the Ice shows tonight that I will try to get back in time for ! I think the show is at 7PM and 9 PM. . . .

 

The ships time is now 5:15 PM , and the local time is 6:15 PM

Thank you so much for taking the time to post!! Lovin every minute of it!!

[wrp96]

Radio, you are at Pier # 3 correct?

[cot427]

Nice pictures. That's wierd, when I was on the Freedom, we docked exactly where the Radiance is, and I thought it was for the bigger ships, like Freedom class.

[Radio]

Radio, you are at Pier # 3 correct?

 

Hmmm. . . . The passenger Pier is Pier 4, and the ferry pier is Pier 1.

 

We are between them. . . It might be 2 or 3 ? I will find out !

 

Radio

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hey, yeah while you're there, see if you can find a local map of the pier numbers. We've seen conflicting reports as to which is which!

 

I'd like to make sure my San Juan map is correct.

If you are at the one in between them, then you are at Pier # 3. It was specifically built to accommodate RCCL's larger ships (and eliminate the need for some of the ships to go over to the Pan Am Pier on busy days).

Radio :D

 

If by chance you meet Ricardo the Concierge..please could you ask him when he will be going to the Independence as Liz (Roy & Chris's friend)needs a new Crown & Anchor purse ;) :D

 

Many thanks

Loving your Live report :D and you pics are brilliant.

[cindyscruise]

With all your beautiful pictures, I won't have to take any when we go on the Liberty in June. We are going on the Western so will take ashore, but my pictures don't hold a candle to yours. I am enjoying every moment of your trip.

[lmcpark]

Hi Radio! Loving your posts. But I'm worrying you're checking on so much for others it may be cutting into your 'fun time'! I know everyone is appreciative. Thanks again!

I have just viewed this thread in it's entirety and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I will never again miss a live "Radio" broadcast.

OK. . .Here is what I was able to find out . . . Costa Medeterrania, and CCL Liberty are docked at Pier 4, and Liberty and Radiance are docked at Pier 3(directly in front of the Sheraton), Pier 2 is the Ferry Pier, and Disney magic just pulled up and docked on Pier 1.

 

 

Some helpful Guards were able to straighten me out. I found 2 Info maps of the port, but neither of them showed the NEW Pier where we are at now (Pier3)

 

I'm glad that I found out this info...people ask often about the Piers. . .;)

Hello everyone. . . Here are a few pics from our short stay in San Juan. It was a busy day for San Juan with 5 Ships in Port.

We should be seeing a couple of them again tomorrow. I mainly walked around in a few shops (I love the Polo Outlet shop), and went to Starbucks. I also visited the Casino at the Sheraton, and I am in the lounge at the Sheraton now.

I have to get back to the ship now to go to a couple of shows! !

Thanks for tuning in.

WOW! What a shot! Two GORGEOUS ships!

 

Radio, are you saying that you were able to pick up a free wireless signal in the Sheraton?

[Crazy Flying Fish]

Radio, Great Job!!

I have read several of your most recent "Live From" threads. You sure do work hard at having fun. My wife and I are doing this cruise on August 30, 2008. Thanks for the info.

 

P.S. - I noticed that you drove to Miami, it must have been a long drive (How long was it?, we live in your area). My wife is dubbing this her "Fear of Flying Cruise". She hates to fly but wanted to be on this ship. I don't get enough vacation to add on for the driving days needed. I'm guessing 18 hours drive time.
