LandstromCruise

I think you’re being a little hard on yourself. Look at the bright side, the only reason this happened is because you are fortunate to be able to cruise so often. Now if someone like me who only gets to cruise like once or twice a year did this, that would be a rookie mistake. In your case, I could easily see that happening trying to keep track of all your cruises. I would definitely need a detailed spreadsheet for that

Doesn’t look like Utopia is excluded from the list. There are a few select ones, but guess since it’s doing 3/4 night they decided people could use certificate before the 1 year mark. I was hoping to get Wonder on Aug 4, but that is excluded

I noticed on my August sailing on icon many of the PDCC prices have recently dropped.

I went in Feb and paid around that and thought it was worth it. Just as an fyi, if you like to go in the water at the beach it will be pretty cold in January, but you do have the heated pool option. And definitely watch for it to drop in price and rebook. I think mine started out at like $50/person and ended up getting for around $30/person.

What's this nonsense about NOT doing a blog....I didn't know that was an option

So wait, why was the solo traveler bring handcuffs on the cruise

Darn. Yeah agree. My hope is to be able to get on some group cruises in the future.

When in August are you on Icon? I am on Aug 31

Would someone actually use those? Love my wife, but not wanting to take a dump with her

Well my wife is making me take her

This is why I always want to be at the port by 10am. My wife thinks I’m nuts, but I say the sooner I can get on the ship the better.

For those of us not on a cruise the week flying by is great news. Gets us that much closer to our next cruise

I was able to book a JS on Harmony for Feb 9 2025. Was trying to get one in Nov of this year but no JS available. With the prices of even JS right now I don’t see my booking one on my own anytime soon so glad to get this opportunity

I think I saw on Royal Dining Facebook page he ate at Mason Jar for dinner tonight. He said something about slapping your grandma good

I would say 1 did and 1 didn't. Everyone has the 1 kid that listens right

Yeah I noticed on Allure there wasn't really many advance only times, but when they did the mixed wave the boogie board people would be on 1 flow rider and standup on the other. they would not allow people to just do boogie on either flow rider. While you would get the chumps like me with the white bands trying to earn the blue band, that line would come and go. they would give people 2 chances(1 turn) and if they didn't get the blue band that couldn't try again until the employees switched out(so like once an hour). But the good news was it was open most of the day so gave plenty of ride time opportunity.

That’s a bummer. I love their being 2 especially on the Oasis class with all the people. It allows more time for the stand up only instead of having so much mixed wave.

Does Wonder only have 1 flow rider?

Thanks! yeah i thought about that right after I submitted this. I forgot it was there.

If you get an offer from the casino for a free junior suite room, do you still get double points for your loyalty status for that cruise

That's pretty crazy!

Great ship to do this itinerary. I had similar itinerary in Nov(just PDCC instead of Labadee) on Odyssey, and do that same itinerary on Oasis in March 2026.

I’ve had no problem leaving them at home . We take them on many, they are going on Icon in August, but sometimes it’s nice to get away with just the wife. We are actually lucky that we are both on our 2nd marriage but everyone gets along really well. If we vacation without the kids my wife’s ex takes his 2 kids as well as the youngest that my wife and I had together. And my 2 are now both over 18 so they are self sufficient and I don’t have to worry about them

Uh oh. Who left the jacket

There’s nothing better than getting on early. It’s like free vacation time! I love getting on early to take care of things like dinner reservations and such, and then grab and early lunch(usually in WJ) like @OCSC Mike to beat the crowds. That was I can be enjoying things like the flowrider by noon when everyone else is still getting on and getting lunch.
