Pooch

Or maybe rethink a run in 90+ degree weather!!

Yup we loved it. One night, I got served THREE dinners!! Ran out of the stuffed sole I ordered so they brought me a fried fish I only picked at (really wanted that sole). The waiter saw I wasn’t eating so he snuck over to a company meeting & brought me a plate of their special buffet items. In the meantime the maitre’d talked to the chef who made 2 stuffed sole filets just for me. There I sat with all three plates in front of me with the 2 of them standing at the table to be sure I had enough to eat. Thought I was gonna die!!!

On our first cruise in 2002, dinner in Windjammer was served. Appetizers and desserts were on a buffet but you ordered your entree from and were served by a waiter.

Ok, probably totally insane here, but I take every opportunity to bring kids/grandkids on our trips. Hubby is kind of quiet and something of a stick in the mud (but a lovable one!) so taking the family helps keep things lively. And I love spoiling them. 2018 took our daughter, February took one of our grandsons, next cruise in March (moved from Feb) taking son and daughter. Growing up my parents never left us home. If they went on vacation, my brother and I went too. So now if hubby and I are going someplace fun, I want to bring family too!

Just for haha’s, I looked at what the same cruise I have booked would cost if I put it off for a month (March instead of February). When I look in the old site which is bookmarked on my phone, the price is $400 less than if I access the new site on my computer. Any clue why this would be?? Anyone else experience this? Got an email out to my TA.

My grandson has informed me that he no longer wants to go to Disney, just cruises?

You do realize this is a thread from 2018?

Drink package for our Feb 2021 cruise bounces between $61 and $46 with the sale price appearing every 3 weeks or so. There will be 4 adults so $1500 total at the sale price. I am not ready to have that much tied up on a cruise I am uncertain will sail. Waiting and watching.

My current total is $390 saved. I am very thankful first for all of you for teaching me so much about cruising (if you need WDW advice, I am your gal!!) and second to my TAs at MEI Danette and now Emily for putting up with me!!’

Already booked on Rhapsody in an owners suite. Really just hoping we go as planned. I’ve nosed around the Celebrity site, admittedly not much but Celebrity looks much more expensive. Really I appreciate your input but not looking for other ideas at the moment. I will check back with you if my cruise gets cancelled and I can get my deposit back.

We are going to Key West, Cozumel, Costa Maya and Grand Caymans. Hope it goes as planned but will keep your suggestion in mind if it doesn’t. Thanks

Retiring in 6 months. I plan to try them all! I did like sailing out of PC too. Easy and convenient. I am taking baby steps here. We are taking our adult offspring in Feb to celebrate my retirement and I like our ports. Next up will be ABC islands which will have to be a bigger ship? And then a cruisetour to Alaska although I am looking at Princess (shhh don’t tell anyone) for that.

Not that I want it replaced. But I want the itinerary. I like sailing out of Tampa. Edited to add we’ve sailed Empress (MANY years ago) Majesty and most recently Mariner so really have no experience with bigger newer!

Don’t want a bigger newer ship!!! Ok the cruise is a 7 day western Caribbean out of Tampa. If Rhapsody is out, do you think they’d replace the itinerary with a different ship?

Ok what is Rhapsody? Just had my Disney trip blow up because of Governor Numbnuts don’t take my February cruise away too!!!!

Saved $74 today and, thanks to you all, was able to add a military discount a couple of weeks ago that saved another $101. I do have to say I don’t really understand Royal math. The military discount is $504 yet my price only dropped $101??

Oh the Disney boards are exploding over this!!

Just had my hopes of a Disney vacation 9/7 to 9/12 crushed when the Gov of Florida extended the 14 day quarantine on travelers from the Tri-state area (I’m in CT). I am hanging on to our February cruise with my fingernails!!! Please, I need a vacation!!!

Yeah no parents on this trip just 30-40 hormonal teenagers!!

I signed up for the shipmates app but find I see it days before they notify me. I check the Royal site daily.

Cool, because my final payment is due prior to thanksgiving. We are already in an OS so no upgrade possible but maybe OBC.

And can my TA reprice after final payment?

Bummed, no savings for me this time

And I think he would have spent even more time on it if the cruise had been longer but it takes him awhile to get used to new things.

Ooooh is that Brilliance?
