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

There will be at least one pool open earlier. On my cruise, the beach pool opens at 8am. Jane

Ditto. This is what we do. Jane

How would this apply to things like buying drinks? Would you stand in front of a machine when you approach the bar and it would pull up your info? Jane

Thanks We will definitely look at this! @tonyfsu21, how is this place? Jane

lol---what's funny is that the last time we cruised out of fort lauderdale, we DID eat at Cheesecake Factory. We ubered over so I didn't realize that the water taxi had a stop there. Personally, i think the food, while overpriced, is good and the cheesecake is awesome for breakfast the next day!!! Jane

Thank you so much! That is absolutely perfect for what we want to do Jane

Cant wait since I will be reading yours while getting set to board Harmony! Jane

Perfect! That's what I was thinking but wasnt sure! Didn't want to look too much like a newbie! Jane

This is why I want to request just a 2-top for my husband and I. With specialty dining, it plays havoc with who is there. My first cruise with my teens, it was sometimes 10 people, and sometimes only 3 at a huge 10 table. It felt awkward when we were by ourselves, and I felt guilty when we weren't there. This time we are planning only 3 nights at most in the mdr (nights 1, 4 and 6) and I think I'd rather do by ourselves. That way we don't mess with the feel of the table and I won't feel guilty if we don't show up another night or two. Jane

Thank you! I saw that article earlier but didn't connect it!! Jane
