First and foremost unplug, unplug, unplug. We are the type that don’t want the internet package, we love the feeling of turning off our phones and no distractions from emails or searching the web. Just me and the wife and lots of fun. 

We did limo to port. However we did taxi back to airport, would not recommend that! Our driver was very rude and sketch!

Interesting, we booked our cruise with a different card but we are paying for it with the RC credit card, does it include insurance?

Any help? We have always purchased the RC insurance, but this year we are considering Allianz or Roam Right. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

For those who have used them, if offered say for $90. Is there a price limit per drink, or do they just deduct whatever the cost is from the available balance?

Thanks for all the replies we decided to just book Indy for January we need it bad. Only interior cabin but we don’t stay in cabin much, balcony would have been for wife mostly. We had one on Navigator last year I may have been on it 20 minutes the whole 5 days. 

Thanks Matt, we are considering changing from the indy to Jewel because we can get same ports but instead of interior we would have this for only $150 more. Indy looks great but we are relaxation cruisers, this looks nice for that. Then maybe an Oasis class in 2020. 

We are looking at Jewel of the seas, cabin 7172 which is corner aft balcony room. Question is has anyone ever stayed in any radiance class ship in the aft balcony, and if so I would love your feedback. 

Thanks for the blog, we are on her in April 2019!!

We are actually looking at Jewel as one of our options, Thanks for all the reply’s. 

We are in our 50s, we cruise to relax and spend time together. Can anyone suggest a ship that would fit our style the best, no matter how big, small or old?

Currently booked on Indy for April 19. Found out today I won Masters tickets for that week so we are considering changing to February sailing on Jewel of the Seas. Would still go to Labadee, any past cruisers on the ship have reviews for me?

Yes Labadee is a port we really want to go to at some point.

We are trying to decide between Independence or Brilliance for next April. After following the post on Brilliance and knowing how much Matt raves about Brilliance, I thought I'd ask. We are 50 somethings, no kids we cruise for the relaxation not the activities. Both are 5 night but Indy does have Labadee as one of the stops (plus). Any help or comments would be appreciated. Also we may be able to upgrade from inside to ocean view on Brilliance for same money. Thanks

We are book on Indy for next April, we are seeing a lot of reviews about over crowding and long waits for dinner since the refurb. From more experienced crusiers is this something they will control better as time goes on?  We are considering looking at other options for that month, like Vision of the Seas. Any thoughts would be appreciated. 

Thanks for all your input!!

We are currently booked interior stateroom on Indy next April. Thinking of upgrading to deck 7 promenade interior room. Anyone who has stayed in one of these, are there any noise problems or other issues, or did you enjoy the room?

Not looking for a deal! I'm one of those who would give up a few perks to plan it on my own. So I want to use that enjoyment to become a travel agent  from home. Part time for now and maybe someday full time. I have a couple of online companies that deal with mostly cruises because that is what I love, however I have not committed to either yet  Can anyone offer any suggestions, ideas or stories of how you got started? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On the Navigator last week we saw a man buy 3 drinks at different times and take it to his son (I assume) either way that is why they have to do this. We are certainly not diamond members but I bought my wife the refreshment package because she can’t drink personal reasons. I get it and have no problem our last Carnival cruise they would not even do that. 

Thanks for all your advise we decided today and booked Independence of the Seas for April 2019 to Labadee. So excited..

Thanks everyone live in Georgia so any ports except west coast. We like to stay on ship. 

Just got off Navigator on Friday loved it. We r planning our next one for 2020. The biggest ships are out of our budget any suggestions would be appreciated on ships u like Navigator or smaller 5 or 6 night cruises. It will be for 15 year anniversary. 

Thanks Matt. 

8 days until we get on Navigator. Any inside tips or ideas while on board would be appreciated.
