We almost booked odyssey and I’m second guessing it! We went with harmony…Hubby was too nervous to fly back sunday. Hope you have a wonderful trip! I’m bummed that I didn’t get to meet the amazing love to cruise too! Jane.

Since I haven’t tried the spa yet and planning on it this trip…I am appreciating all the info! Jane

Hopefully it will be coolish and you will be happy! Or really improve and you will be relieved it’s warm. So glad it should be warmer for us next week (Illinois is just awful) but I’m sorry it’s not warmer for you! Jane

Ugh. I'm beginning to panic over crowds. I've sailed spring break, which is totally fine (busy but ok). Now I'm sailing at a time when it will be way over "full" capacity and likely short staffing. I hope I don't have unrealistic expectations...I haven't cruised since 2019 and I know it's different. Jane

Yeah! Can't wait!!! Jane

Update 1 week before flight: Winter sucks! I hate winter and since it will be -30 wind chill tomorrow night, I hate it even more! I keep checking the weather report for naussau and Cozumel. It looks like fort Lauderdale might be rainy, but at least warm thank goodness. I can sit under an umbrella in the rain if it's warm! Jane

Next couple days are going to be brutal temp wise. Hoping I get out of work by 4 and it isn't blizzarding! Stay inside and warm... Have I mentioned I hate winter?? Jane

Thank you!!! Jane

Yikes...I don't remember since I'm not a big "egg on ships" eater. I want to say that they don't make them right there, but do have omelettes. I don't remember if they were cook to order in the back, or not available. Sorry I can't remember. I will be on Harmony in 11 days and will try and check! Jane

I was excited to see your pics. We got a one day pass for this resort on our last day since our flight leaves at 9pm. Hoping to enjoy a beautiful 8 hours there! If you have time, could you all them how early you can check in for the one day resort pass? I couldn't find it in my docs. Jane

We’ve always gotten the included mochas and lattes at cafe promenade or lattetudes on the smaller ships and it’s always been great. I like Starbucks but I’m not a coffee snob. They seem close enough for me. Jane

Good morning! So I have never found any little duckies on a ship, and would love to bring some to hide but I’m new to the game. Do people put any tags or greetings on them? Email to get notified if found? And do you just hide them anywhere? And now I have another excuse to buy more junk on Amazon. Alexa is very busy “thanking my driver”. Jane

I was going to say the same thing. It’s truly a hidden gem! We always found a table on allure and it was never packed! Jane

@Jax I’m intrigued by the flight powder. What does it do? Jane

It’s all gonna be warm by New Years! This is my mantra! Warm! Sun! Warm! Sun! And if it isn’t, then darn it, the drink pkg better warm me up because it’s freezing in Chicago! Jane

Yep! One of these days!! Have a great time! Jane

Have a great trip! Hope traveling goes well on embarkation day! Jane

My cats always did this. My schnauzer puppies not so much! Jane

This cracks me up. Challenge accepted lol! Let me know if you need reports on anything while I'm on the ship! Jane

We have some sabor 3 or 4 times. Loved it on freedom, but it wasn't good on allure for us so I think we will just do drinks. Jamies for sea day is gonna be great I think! Excited to try it since we've only done Giovanni's. We avoided covid for 2 years until this October, when we both went down. We will both be boosted so I think we will be ok if we can avoid colds lol (both teachers lol). Jane

I'm already hitting you up on the other thread! You have been a great source whenever I have fort Lauderdale questions!!!!! Thank you! I'm so excited for NYE on a ship!!!! We don't live super crowds, so I'm excited to hear other places besides the promenade will be happening! Jane

Thanks for the recommendation!!! Loving all these options! Jane

This is going to be trite, but maybe stay on the boat and do the slides and things that often have a line on sea days. Enjoy the ship when it's less crowded. Jane

Lol...no glasses either. My passport almost didn't come before my first cruise because my glasses slightly covered one corner of my eye! Jane
