Pooch

Hoping 12/30 is book by date not a sail by

Never hurts to call & ask another rep but she is just looking into this now? My brother & nephew had FCCs due to weather impacted travel last March and they definitely had an expiration date.

We received $75 on our November Explorer cruise.

I do that in my cabin. Steward leaves wine glasses & pour a glass to take to dinner. Sometimes I have hubby carry a second for me (he doesn’t drink wine )

My hubby said they made the best Goombay Smash on Rising Tide. He spent a lot of time there! In May we are staying on deck eight so it’ll be easier for him to find the room!!

When a port stop is changed, it takes forever for the new port to show under excursions, like several weeks. The good news is that no one can see them so they aren’t being sold out from under you. The bad news is you can’t take advantage of current prices.

Back when I was not a cruise fan, I used to talk hubby out of booking one by playing up how dressed he’d have to be every night. OMG shirt, tie, jacket, dress pants. You will HATE IT!!!! That doesn’t really work anymore. Be clean and inoffensive.

Add an envelope of Knorr’s vegetable soup mix too

Yes, PLEASE put the wine in your carry on. A broken bottle can wreck havoc on your suitcase as well as others. Water is available through the freestyle machines and you can get soda at any bar too, glasses not cans or bottles though. Ice tea, lemonade, some type of fruit punch, white and chocolate milk, juices in the morning will be complementary. Also the tap water on board tastes as good as any you get from a bottle.

I hope you are having a WONDERFUL time!!! Happy Holidays

I’m sure there will be some who will miss being able to get a favorite dish each night. I, for one, would revolt if I couldn’t get my plate o’bacon every morning . I am trying to hold judgment until we get more feedback.

Aren’t you on board now? If I’m not mistaken (and I so frequently am!) weren’t you sailing the 18th?

Please tell me more! Is it a Brazilian Steakhouse at night or Mediterranean? Would this be fleetwide? We are on Harmony in May and I’d love another dining option.

How much do you need?

So are you accessing on a PC? I do not get that same screen on my phone. This is what I see:

I don’t cook bacon at home. Too messy & really not good for me. So when I cruise, I eat LOTS of bacon!!! It’s my vacation treat. So anywhere I can indulge myself is good.

If you have a CC that provides rewards of some kind for use, pay using that then immediately pay it off with the funds. Yes, this can be a slippery slope but I put EVERYTHING on a CC that I can then pay it off at the end of the billing cycle. I haven’t paid for a flight on SWA for years using this method and my daughter’s college tuition paid for a nice little trip to Disney. I am “creatively frugal” and want as much as I can get for my money. Heck yesterday I went to 3 different grocery stores as each was offering 20% off $100 gift cards. I needed the cards anyway, the stores were within blocks of each other, I got points on my CC for the purchases and saved a total of $60. Hubby will tell you I can squeeze a dime into a quarter better than anyone!

Looking forward to JR breakfast. It was not open on the AM on Harmony in March,

Does not work for me.

Oh you would definitely notice. Really no comparison.

Me too! I have beachy ones and “dress” ones!! I’d live in flip flops year round if I didn’t reside in New England.

I don’t think it’s because it’s too far out. I checked Symphony cruises within the next few weeks and there’s only kids menus & drinks. They are getting ready to load the new menus so they pulled the old ones.

Yes, a good tip on day one is the plan. We are pretty flexible so we’ll see when we board. If she has to stay in the original cabin, it won’t kill her. Just might need a few more drinks!!

I bring my glass of wine & hubby gets a diet ginger ale from the freestyle machine. Getting a beverage does seem to be something of an issue or at least it was on Explorer last month. Meal length was all over the place and got worse as the cruise went on.

Just YouTubed our cabin & looks like the same sofa as found in the J3 & 4 to me. If it indeed doesn’t open, won’t be the first time she or I have slept on a couch!
