He’ll be on my Symphony in October. I’ll chat him up ?

No I believe it is use it or lose it. Whatever we have left over we’ll just cash out in the casino.

Note to self, get loungers next to casita. ?

This is our issue too! Never thought I’d complain about too much OBC! We already booked our drink, dining and CocoCay beach club with 125% OBC, still had $350 left over and now an additional $550

I have the same issue but my OBC is a little over $900! We applied our 125% OBC to an upcoming cruise. It was a smidge over $1k. We bought drink packages, ultimate dining and CocoCay beach club. We still had about $250 left over. Then we added our shareholder $100 benefit. Then the cruise was just repriced with the WOW sale and that added almost $550 to OBC. I don’t know what else to buy lol. I’m sure we will cash out whatever is left at the end minus the 5%, I can live without $45. I did try to talk hubby into a floating cabana but he was not onboard lol. Now I’m looking at swimming with Sea Lions in st Thomas. ? Hope you find something fun to do! If the ship tour is offered, (currently not due to Covid), I’d do that in a heartbeat.

Can you share a link to this bag? Please?

Well my grand total is in with the WOW sale. $1,746 savings for 3 of my 4 cruises. In addition to another $700 drop from a June sale puts me at $2,446 total. Not too bad considering the era of covid. Those savings just paid our airfare to Anchorage, the only cruise with no change in price. I’m a happy cruiser!

Yes check in as soon as you can.

I just got a price drop of $544 on my October Symphony. Past FP so it’s OBC. Also got a $347 drop on March Harmony, no change on May Alaska and Sharla or someone at MEI (Sharla on vacay) will check my Odyssey Holy Land/Greece today for next October I’m super happy!

We were on oasis for my kick cancer’s ass/50th birthday celebration and 1/2 the ship was chartered by LulaRoe-the ugly leggings company. This was more disturbing than crazy…..this is a MLM company that women get involved with but it appears many women made their husbands wear these obnoxious leggings all over the ship. It hurt my eyes! Men wearing women’s leggings is just wrong!

Another Hip, Hip Hooray for @Sharla. I sent an email last night as I kept seeing all these great fare drops and wanted to get in on the action! My email simply asked Sharla that if she saw it, who should I call at MEI to check for me. If I didn’t hear back, I was just going to call the main number this morning. I got a quick response from Sharla with awesome news! $544 lower on my Symphony (now OBC as I’m past FP), $347 lower on my March Harmony, no change in my May Alaska ?, and she or someone from MEI will check my Odyssey Holy Land/Greece today. This news actually kept me up last night as I now have over $900 in OBC on Symphony and we already purchased everything we wanted lol. I’m sure we’ll find something to spend it on or cash out in the casino. Top notch service once again even when on vacation!

That’s awesome! Great ships and itineraries and 2 weeks Christmas/New Year’s? Definitely YOLO! I’d be giddy too!

I did and got all excited except it comes back Christmas Day. Probably won’t work. I’ll wait for the next year. I’ll make one someday!

My check in date was correct. I checked in roughly 7am and got the 1:00/1:30 (earliest available) check in.

We’re not moving any. We cruise in the spring and fall, outside of cough/cold season. I just read a commentary from a doc that has a podcast about why Florida cases are so high. His thoughts are that Florida is experiencing their “winter” right now. It’s so hot that people are indoors in the AC where the air is drier which allows virus particles to circulate. Makes sense to me and I expect our cases to go low again once the weather gets cooler. We were very low up until July 4 and usually around the end of July, all of august into early September we start to see our heat indexes into the 100’s. Anyhoo, we have this October, March, May and October 2022 booked and we’re going!

Dang it! I can’t leave my farm during hurricane season. I’m only 2 hours from PC too. Bummer ?

Now I know who’s on vacation! Lol. I’ll bug her when she gets back!

Do you have a refundable deposit? If so, the fare is higher. I always end up bugging @Sharla to price check and then she does and then reminds me I have a refundable deposit so no better price for me. I always forget that lol and always disappointed ?

Try the Walgreens in Green Cove. I live right across the river from Green Cove and went there to get my vaccine because my Walgreens up the street from me and the Julington Creek were booked solid. Green Cove Walgreens was wide open.

How soon after boarding did you try to make reservations?

Starts August 17. Mostly international but some select Alaska, repositioning, Bahamas, Bermuda, Caribbean, Europe. Most likely the same song and dance, but check those prices anyways!

Gotcha. We always walk off with ours. Early worm and all that.

So do we need a secret hangout to “migrate” to should this happen again? Anyone want to start a Facebook group? “RCBlog Junkies?” ?

I didn’t think I was addicted to this board. Yesterday proved I am.
