I just know it was 28 degrees in Florida when I was there in January and it was snowing and cold here in Chicago today (ok...I know... not the 2 feet in the east). If I don't get warm and sun soon, I may not survive! I need cruise therapy badly! Jane

Ok...I leave in 12 days... I'm beginning to freak out that it is still cold! Arghhhhhh. Jane

What is your scope name? Jane

I needed to change a credit card on my online check in. That was an hour of my life gone. My 2nd reservation finally showed up too but the whole thing was way harder than it should have been. And I can't call royal to do anything because I have a travel agent and they won't deal with me (like when the first credit card got hacked and I was trying to check a weird royal charge). Sigh... I'm not sure why 2 amazing companies like royal and Disney can't get it together better with their websites. Jane

We are the same way but I'd love to do Alaska once. I will be waiting to see if the first cold day is a deal breaker! Glad the snow didn't mess your flights up. Jane

I was at the last season at the Joe but haven't gotten to the new one yet! Can't wait! Jane

I will definitely want an overall tour. So looking forward to seeing it and eating tapas! Jane

Rc usually prevents you from booking excursions that conflict right? Or are these independant. Personally i would be careful how much you cram in...i would stress the whole time on the first if they were schefuled too tight. Jane

Absolutely. I live in chicago, hate the sports teams except the cubs (go detroit!) But LOVE deep dish. That being said, my daughter lived on sorrentos the last cruise...thank goodness! Jane

I havent seen a change to a dock, only tenders. Hope you make st thomas! Jane

So hoping this gets to vision by 2019.....wont be here in time for freedom this year. We do totally ok without voom but it would be nice. Jane

Have a wonderful trip. We didnt cruise until our kids were teens (i was busy being disney obsessed) and i look forward to reading how your little one enjoys the trip! Jane

Thanks so much for the blog. It has been so much fun reading all your posts! Jane

18 inches? We have gotten lucky in the chicago area and missed your 2 latest big storms. We have only had 1 snow day so far. Jane

Omg...the maple leafs were bad enough lol! Penguins? Ugh! I am married to a chicago fan and live here (i grew up in the detroit area). Who do your kids root for? My girls are red wings fans but i tell everone i lost my son's soul...he is a blackhawks fan. The packing is so hard with just not knowing. Praying your flights and arrival go ok with the weather! Jane

Im hoping not! I will be there march 27 and hoping to meet the sting rays! Jane

Good to know...i was thinking it was all the time. My teen vegetarian "picky as #$%&#@" might eat sushi and if i can get her to eat something other than french fries that would be good! Jane

First of all i just have to say "GO RED WINGS!" Thanks so much for live blogging. I love reading everyone elses, and i never blog because it is so much work. I appreciate you making the effort! I will be interested to see if the colder northern weather for much of the trip bothers you at all. I am so looking forward to sun and warm (escape from chicago) on freedom out of fort lauderdale and im not sure if the enclosed solarium would be enough. I would love your insights on if the boat has enough warm places....we could drive east and save airfare. Have a wonderful trip! Jane

I think they do. I wont have voom but i will let you know...maybe take a menu pic before we leave lauderdale. I will be sampling one or the other...heck maybe both...and will give you a review!!! Jane

Ok...i am gonna need some help...every entree and beverage looks amazing. The quac is a given but what do i do? Thanks twangster...i will study this every night for the next 3 weeks! Jane

I will cross my fingers for you! Jane

Omg... it is snowing again here in chicagoland! I'm counting down...20 days till I board freedom! Yesssssss! Last time I was in Florida it was 28 degrees one of the days so fort Lauderdale better be good to me! Jane

Can you believe i cant get my chicago raised daughter to eat deep dish but she cant wait to go on freedom in 3 weeks to eat sorrentos! Jane

I think we need a selfie stuck in with his amazing pictures! Jane

Freedom is saying this too...i will check when im on in 3 weeks! Jane
