25 days to go until we're onboard Liberty of the Seas. Getting pretty excited now.
A bit of a letdown though today as we found out some unfortunate news. We are unable to book reservations at the specialty restaurants until we get onboard.
Let me explain.......
We thought it would be a great idea to go ahead and book our reservations ahead of time via Royal Caribbean's website to save some trouble and get the days and times we wanted. Unfortunately, Royal Caribbean feels that when you book a "reservation" you should have to pay for it immediately.
I was completely unaware of this until I had everything selected and the website asked for my credit card info. Now I've never tried this before so I was both a bit surprised and confused. A quick call to a Royal Caribbean pre-cruise planner confirmed that any reservations for specialty restaurants or excursion bookings are charged immediately to a credit card and not put on your onboard account. So there you go....a quick FYI for anyone who didn't know this already.
Now this wouldn't be a big deal normally but we have a nice big bunch of onboard credits we want to use for things like this so it looks like we will have to take our chances and wait until we get there. I don't know why it can't just be added to your booking and show up on your onboard account. Oh well, not going to stress about it. It's not like we're going to starve.

That is a bit unfari last year we where with P&O cruises and we where able to book all our shore excursions before hand and then it was charged to our onboard credit which we paid off with the spending money that we had. I guess it must be an American thing. Not sure why thoug?
