  1. I almost messaged you directly! I'm so excited! So much easier to move when you aren't going around the bed AND can look out your balcony when you wake up! Yeah! Jane
  2. Royal finally put our room number on our guarantee (we knew the room from the bar code, but now have it official). Because I have pretty much nothing else to research, I need to figure out whether the bed or the sofa is by the balcony. I know it's been posted a gazillion times, but could someone please tell me the trick again...i know it's every other room but i can't remember how to start it. If it matters, it's harmony 11560. Also...anybody stayed in this room? What about 8286 (that's my daughter's honeymoon room next year!) Jane
  3. It is so fun to read your blog! I will be on Harmonyar the same time, though we are “slumming” (lol) in an ocean balcony. I will be very interested in hearing about your star class experience. We are hopeful to take one when we are not locked as teachers into the high price times. I’m absolutely an overplanner…I was on at 11 pm central time to check in at 12 eastern! Thanks so much for sharing…I may live blog but I have the feeling of sun, drink, eat, repeat might get boring! Good luck getting through the next month and hope you find a new excursion! Jane
  4. The notorized letter of permission to travel is important to have even if it's just one parent (not divorced) traveling out of the country with children. You may not need to present it, but if something happens, things could get sticky. You likely won't even need it, but it costs nothing and gains everything. Also, it's not a bad idea to have the passport renewed--it's good for 5 years for minors, is good for european travel, and gives him a photo id if it's never needed. But obviously if cost is a factor, you don't need it. Jane
  5. If you are looking for an actual something to keep you occupied and store your luggage, you can do a resortpass . We don't fly out until 915 pm, so we decided to book a daybed at the hilton fort lauderdale resort. it's pricy--though i hit black friday bigtime 40% off!--but you can store luggage with bell services and then have the day. Jane
  6. Thank you so much for the menu... This does look like we should just do the windjammer or mdr! I love the bistro for breakfast, but this seems more Mediterranean than we would love. Jane
  7. Our harmony 12/31 menus are up and they finally posted nights 6 and 7. I’m so bummed…they are doing lobster on the last night…I’ve never seen it not on night 6. We will be at Izumi that night. Oh well…we need to just keep the beach club at coco cay and eat lobster and steak there
  8. Of course…just like rotavirus is rampant on land but never covered, but every sneeze on a cruise ship is a plague. Jane
  9. Yes I was thinking that we still would be covered for the basics, but we definitely like to try some of the glasses at vintages, and you were lucky to find one or two there under the per glass limit. That’s why I was curious if they bumped them all and if we were still averaging only 2-4 extra a glass. I’ve found that most have charged the overage, but also been inclined to give hefty servings. Jane
  10. It’s not showing up in my app at all. Only way I booked it was on the website and I didn’t see a menu. Did you think it was worth it? We can do that or main dining room…which is most likely formal night now that I think about it. Jane
  11. So, I made reservations at Solarium Bistro, and I understand the concept of going up to buffets, etc, and then ordering an entree. Is it a pay for the entree meal a la carte? Or is it just a complementary meal? I'm confused. Also, all i've seen is really from matt's videos...does anyone have access to a menu? Jane
  12. My daughter is going on harmony for her honeymoon next November out of Galveston. She’s keying in on staying in Webster so they can go to the space center pre-cruise. Can anyone recommend good hotels in that area? Also, about how long should she plan the travel time to the terminal will be? Jane
  13. We almost booked that odyssey cruise and are going to be on harmony for New Year’s Eve instead. I hope I have a better experience! (And that story is hilarious!) Jane
  14. We have the drink pkg and the $14 per drink easily covers the beer and cocktail choices we make. I just am curious, have the wine prices gone up at the same time as cocktails? And is the deal still the same…wine covered up to $14 (not the previous $13) and you pay the difference per glass? I assume so but was curious if the prices were up. Jane
  15. I hate getting up that early to get a spot for the day and then watch the sea of towel filled/people empty chairs around me. So frustrating. My husband and I usually have one person at our 2 chairs all the time so we never get to eat together, etc. I’m even hearing you have to get off the ship immediately to get a seat at the cococay beach club pool. And don’t get me started on why people feel they need to save chairs for their kids who sit maybe 2 mins a day!! we are cruising New Year’s Eve and there will be a ton of kids. We never did that! I’m actually kind of excited for harmony. We have been to all the ports a gazillion times so we are going to do our pool deck/solarium sitting on the port days and wander trivia and other spots on sea days. Hoping that makes it doable. Jane
  16. I really think I’m ready to try a quantum class ship. We were really torn btw odyssey and harmony and ended up doing harmony since it came back Saturday. But this sounds amazing! Jane
  17. I have always done Uber or lift from my hotel to the port and port to airport. I have never had a problem or had a big delay. Jane
  18. I actually keep a little scale in my suitcase so I can weigh it on the cruise ship, it’s just crazy people do that. I don’t love the bag check at ohare…usually a mess..so if I’m flying united or American, I just do the curbside check. So much easier! Jane
  19. I'm flying out of o hare on Dec 29 for my new years Eve cruise. O hare can be awful, but you should be fine that early, even on the bad travel weekend. The last couple times I've gone through security it's been less than 30 mins. I almost always pick early flights leaving so no delays and I start my vacation early! I also have a son who had some developmental delays/spectrum issues, though he was able to get amazing services and is truly a different kid at 23. But I know how much the break can be needed and I hope you have an amazing trip! I look forward to reading your blog. And yeah no snow!!! Jane
  20. My husband is a teacher and is just so stressed about getting back for Monday that we don't want to push into the next day. We actually wanted to take the 8 day Odyssey cruise but did Harmony because it's a Saturday to Saturday instead of Saturday to Sunday. And I'm so not a morning person, I think I want to be up late instead of up to get to the airport at 4am!!! Jane
