  1. I am so enjoying your happiness on this cruise! It reminds me how much I love cruising and how not to sweat any little stuff. I wasn't able to tender at coco cay so I can't wait to hear all about it. Jane
  2. Ok loving your blog! And loving that you are loving your cruise! Hope Tuesday was as awesome as Monday! Jane
  3. Powerade is not (it is on the freestyle machine). Lemonade, some fountain fruit drinks (thinking like hi-c type fruit punch), coffee (not starbucks) tea (hot and iced) and milk are free. I'm sure someone will correct me if I goofed but I think this is pretty much it. We got the drink pkg for my 13 year old and she never ever used it... she just drank water! Jane
  4. I'm hoping for that black Friday or cyber Monday sale! And hey, I keep hoping for my Detroit lions not to embarrass themselves on thanksgiving! Jane
  5. By 2023 I will have my youngest in college and we might be trying celebrity. This looks interesting for sure! Jane
  6. We took a taxi from the airport and it was, extremely clear where to go and how much the taxi was. It was easy as could be. That was last year so pre-hurricane though. Jane
  7. Sounds like my son! Sometimes he would get a burger with his steak! He is now 18 and we visited him this, weekend at college. He asked us to take him to buffalo wild wings since he'd already had steak at his dorm the night beefier. Honestly, these dorm cafeterias are like eating at the windjammer every night... the selection is amazing! Jane
  8. I saw it right after I posted! So glad you enjoyed it and that it lived up to all your planning! Jane
  9. Sounds like all of us! Did you have a good time? Been waiting to hear how it was! Jane
  10. We did cocoa beach shuttle. It was 83 a couple years ago and that was to go from mco to our la quinta hotel and then the shuttle from the hotel to the shop. They were great and even brought my daughter's jacket back the next day before we cruised. Cocoa beach is a great way to start your cruise. We stayed on the beach and felt like we really had an extra vacation day. Depending on the hotel, it can be cheaper than the port Canaveral hotels...i haven't really priced those though. Jane
  11. I would love for you to share your cruise compass... is this the eastern 6 day to cozumel, Costa Maya and grand Cayman? I will be on that cruise in March. I bought the pkg last week for 45 a day plus gratuities and saved about 70 dollars off full price. Jane
  12. Wish I'd known this before I goodwilled all my unused cups lol! Jane
  13. My teens didn't have any issues with the pullmans... and my son was about 5'9" at the time. They never complained about comfort and I like dock liked the space it freed up. Jane
  14. I was on vision for my very first cruise and I didn't have any trouble getting a chair. I like the sky deck (so one up from the pool) and I did get up early. I think I was at my chair about 9 but there were lots of them. You can go on the deck chairs anytime. Have a great cruise! Jane
  15. Yep...i mentioned that...i think they somehow are trying to make you feel grateful for the money you save buying the 2nd pkg! In our case though, dropping that 10 really did make it make sense for my husband, so total win for us! Jane
  16. You can order as much as you want for the 7.95 price (it's per total order not per person or item). Jane
  17. This is just what we decided to do...we spent so much on our ft lauderdale flights we decided it wasn't that much mite to fly to Europe. We are going for the first time next summer! River cruise out of Paris! Jane
  18. It should, unless you get an extra entree or the dry aged steaks. I believe gratuity is already included at purchase. Jane
  19. I really really love this site! I have been checking for days and at every cruise planet sale and the drink price for the deluxe has always been 55/ day for my March freedom cruise. I looked at sabrinas post and decided, ok I will look... won't be different but.... Well, it was down to $45/day for no reason so I hopped to buy. If I get 30% on black Friday I will cancel and re book, but that saved me 75 dollars a person! At 45 a day, that is 3 cocktails, a coffee and a bottled water... even my husband would do that (he drinks a Lot less than I do) so I can justify the 2 adult pkg. Wondering if pkg purchases were down with the 2 adult thing...but it's a long time till March. Nothing else was on sale. Thanks for posting...i never would have gone on today! Jane
  20. Air fare is killer but even during March spring break I have paid at most 550 round trip out of Chicago to south Florida. Have you tried looking at mayrix.itasoftware.com? It will give you all the combinations and prices to check. Also try checking into orlando...port Canaveral is an easy shuttle from there. I handle my own airfare...i haven't found the travel agents where I was to be helpful on that. I have just switched to mei travel (who sponsor this site) and sharla has been great so far. In terms of ships and rooms, there are people with way more experience. I can definitely say you will get more bang for your buck and more cabin for your money if you go on an older or smaller ship. I know freedom was a steal for next spring break. I personally would rather cruise 2x on a smaller cabin than 1x with a huge suite but I'd love to try one someday! Goodluck...i know people here will give you tons of advice but i would definitely search cheaper airfare... it's out there! Jane
  21. I am really hoping for a black Friday/cyber Monday sale...if we are buying 2 drink P kgs, it would really be nice if I could save 11 bucks a day! Jane
  22. The luggage tags are awesome... don't remember which ones I got but the plastic sleeves have lasted 3 cruises and still are in great shape. So much nicer than worrying about the paper tags. Jane
