newsier Posted September 1, 2008 #76 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Just back from the Liberty of the Seas. With the price of internet rising onboard, I decided not to do a "live" thread, but here are some thoughts and reports "after the fact."So, ask away. :) Hi Merion Mom - - I head out tomorrow to hook up with the Jewel for her Westbound TA on the 8th. May I ask how much the Internet prices were, ball park is fine. I was planning on staying connected. Thanks, g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berman947 Posted September 1, 2008 #77 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Internet was 55 cents a minute on my last two cruises this year....I am Diamond, so I did get the $10 off, so that helped. They do offered packages for more minutes, but I do not recall what they are at this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megnsamsgracie Posted September 1, 2008 #78 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I'll have to check out the Liars Club, haven't ever seen it. Did they have it during the day, or at night? What day of the cruise? it was at night, 10:30 I believe on Thursday night....sit up front.. its fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, 55cents/min and I was gold so I got $5 for me, $5 for DH :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxs mom Posted September 1, 2008 #80 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Carol.....nice job on the review. I have a question about the Sunset Beach Resort in Jamaica. Did you have to pre-book that or did you just go? If you pre-booked it....how? I don't plan on going to Jamaica any time soon, but you never know! We are scheduled to stop in Falmouth Christmas of 09. Would it be convenient to go to Sunset Beach Resort from there? Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted September 1, 2008 Author #83 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I saw an almost identical show 4 years ago on Mariner, but it had a different name. And they even used a few of the same words. Did you remember them? I'm usually pretty good at etymology, but we only got one of them right! Very strange words........ And YES, Phill, Travis, Jaimie and Brandon were a scream. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted September 1, 2008 Author #84 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Hmmmmmmmm.I dont know how many.......for some reason,I didnt think they take more than 16 people:confused: or somewhere around that... Just looked at my pics and only see 4 stations with room for 4 people at each....... It's bigger now, PH. I remembering counting the stations.........then promptly forgetting. I *think* that it was 8, though, times 4, for a total of 32 max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted September 1, 2008 Author #86 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Welcome back Carol. Glad that you enjoyed your cruise, and happy to hear that you loved the Liberty. I will be on her the end of Oct, and can't wait. First time on that class of ship. I also love Mariner, so Liberty should be awesome. I'll have to check out the Liars Club, haven't ever seen it. Did they have it during the day, or at night? What day of the cruise? Glad Gustave didn't mess with you. Have fun when you return to FL also. it was at night, 10:30 I believe on Thursday night....sit up front.. its fun! Night 5 - Grand Cayman 10 P.M. on ours. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do offered packages for more minutes, but I do not recall what they are at this moment. Those are still the prices.

Can I bring my wireless laptop or do I need to pay the internet charges and use the ships computers in the internet cafe? As PH8 so eloquently laid it out, you'll pay the same with wi-fi. The advantage is that you can download your email (WHUMP!) and read it offline, and compose your replies offline, then go online (pay) only briefly.

We are scheduled to stop in Falmouth Christmas of 09. Would it be convenient to go to Sunset Beach Resort from there?[/size'] Jane Sorry, fellow Mom. I missed this question before. I *did* contact the resort ahead of time, but it really wasn't necessary at all. Just bring $40 cash per person. They will accept credit cards, but prefer cash. They will also tell you that it's a very short distance from the Montego Bay pier, which it is. DO NOT WALK. Take a taxi. 'Nuff said. http://www.sunsetbeachresort.com/ I even got my eyebrows waxed in the spa. ($15!) I just looked at a map of Jamaica, and it looks like Falmouth (where they are building a dock that will accommodate the Oasis) is at least 25 miles from Montego Bay.

And YES, Phill, Travis, Jaimie and Brandon were a scream. :D vagitas, hawsole (I don't remember how to spell that), and that's all I can remember off the top of my head, but there was one more that I know I already knew from the last game. Phill was hilarious in the Love and Marriage game as he tried to decipher the Oregon lady talking about her Rush Limbaugh tie. Did you see that?
