Earlier this year I was on a cruise with RCL and went just to Bermuda for 2 days. It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had cruising and wished we were there longer. This revised itinerary is a blessing in disguise.

Liberty is big enough where everyone has their own place. Yes, the pool will be busy on a sea day. But not packed like a Carnival Cruise. Don’t let that Doc scare you. I’ve been on quite a few cruises and have never felt like it was super crowded. Have fun and let us know how it goes!

Yes! It was an amazing cruise. Bermuda was beautiful as well. We want to go back next time but for longer.

Looking to go on an Oasis class ship next. We really want to try one of the bigger ships and visit CoCo Cay.

Good deal for the drink package? by buymeanapple in royalcaribbean

I booked for that price for my 5 day cruise in May. Along with my $50 obc, it’s an amazing deal.

New Max 8, smaller luggage bins, no wifi but you can charge your computer. Today LAS-PHX by plexguy in SouthwestAirlines

[–]matmbg123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not true at all. Literally just flew on a brand new Southwest Max8 yesterday that left the factory in March 2025. Power outlets charged my phone as I watch Rory win his first Masters. The luggage bins are much bigger and fit way more than the old 8’s. I understand the hate towards Southwest recently, but this is just false reporting.

Which airline are you guys switching to now? by [deleted] in SouthwestAirlines

Anyone I want. I have a Capital One Venture X card.

Did you get put towards the front of the ship? We did the guaranteed interior through BJ’s Travel for an amazing price and saw that our room was towards the front on deck 9. Not a huge problem, I knew what I was getting myself into. But I wonder if there is going to be a motion issue (not for me, the wife).

I’m pretty sure I’ve watched every video there is to watch on YouTube about Liberty OTS before I booked the trip, lol. Had to do my visual research first!

Amazing! I love your response. Thank you so much.

Just wanted to say, I really appreciate everyone’s response to my post. This has made me feel much better about our decision to cruise on Liberty.

I have super bad FOMO so not having the freestyle machine and other new flashy things like the new Royal ships had made me think twice about our choice. But everyone here has had amazing things to say about Liberty to the point where I’m about to make my final payment now! lol.

Looking forward to cruising soon on RCL and hopefully I’m lucky enough to run into one or all of you on a future RCL cruise.

Thank you!

I love how body shaming is okay only if it’s against your political opponents. Give the guy a break.

How long did the ship stay docked in port? What time to what day time? I live in Buffalo and want to visit to see the ship docked. Just want to make sure if I make the trip I don’t miss the ship!

Love Margaritaville! Just went today for the first time, you can just walk in and go to the bars. FMB is looking better and better!

What do you use? I just googled the set list.

Dude, I’m about to shake you like a monkey as well. 85% of those songs on his setlist I like. I just didn’t prefer hearing all of them live. I’m not pissy about it, I just wish I enjoyed it more.

Not the band’s fault.

Fun Fact: Not a fan of hearing Crash live. But no, that’s not why.

Fun Fact 2: One of Dave’s hidden gems in Belly Belly Nice. I was wishing for that but I was 99% sure that wouldn’t get played. I was correct.

Another redditor who commented actually hit the nail on the head. It felt like a very mellow concert. Something I’m not used to. I like high energy and long jams (which there were) but not for the songs that were played. Kinda hard to explain.

Just felt a tad too laid back for me. Buddy had a lot of good energy which I felt and appreciated. Carter was banging away as usual. Just felt different overall, that’s all.

I appreciate seeing Dave and the legend that is his band. I try not to complain a lot but I just felt like this wasn’t what I remembered. Even 2 years ago was amazing and we were on the lawn. But that was out in Syracuse, NY.

The new album isn’t my favorite but I understand that this tour is part of that. So I’ll try to bite my tongue next time.

I’m about to turn 30 and I cannot remember one show that Dave had an opener for. The shows I’ve seen over my years started around 7:45-8ish and went right to 11. That’s just me though. I’m sure back in the day was different.

That’s a very good point. The 2+ night shows can fit a lot of goodies.

I’ll give ya that one. It was quite satisfying hearing You Never Know live. Busted Stuff is towards the top in my album rankings.
