Yes! I have 2 packable backpacks from Eddie Bauer that we LOVE! We have a 20L and a 30L both which we used on the last cruise.

I feel ya on the sunscreen sis! Also on the flip flops. I accidentally packed them IN my clothes suitcase last time... major regret...Lesson Learned.

lol! Alcohol-tasting alcohol sounds like something up my alley.

Question to those DX consumers @Matt @twangster and whomever else I'm forgetting. 
I thought i saw on Mariner that at Cafe Promenade the speciality drinks are a certain price with flavor shots being $0.50 each, does the drink package include those? I like my coffee with vanilla or caramel syrup (or creamer) so I would prefer to know ahead a time opposed to finding $8/$10 in syrup charges on my account at the end and being VERY confused...

... save money and your skin (cancer risk) and buy a bottle of sunblock :) your body will thank you! 

There are also bands that you wear on your wrist to help with motion sickness and pressure points. OR to be safe have her get the behind the ear patch that way she is safe guarded. We did that before we got on the ship my first 4 trips and never needed anything else even with a pretty rocky ship a few times. 

Thanks this is our first trip with the drink package. 

Yep just an inside cabin for us. Just a way to not walk past our door this trip haha. 

Well if it's on FB it must be true.

Oh I totally get all of that! ?

Completely understandable. I thankfully live in FL (although we are flying to Ft. Lauderdale for our next cruise... long story). So I get the overweight fees. I feel like so many blogs and youtube videos are all focused on how little you can pack and "oh my gosh if you don't only use a carry-on its blasphemy" I am just curious for everyone's insight. 
Also a note: I am totally one who can both over and under pack. I managed to pack for a 4 day winter trip to Missouri in a teeny tiny carry on and checked a bag full of gifts for the family we were visiting... priorities haha

I've heard that everything 90s is back and that every 30ish years things make a comeback... I mean I'm not mad about it. lol

I agree...I do love their christmas decor and i feel like its a percentage of the cost of anywhere else 

This is something like what I am considering doing but with pumpkins or skulls or whatever.

haha I love my packing cubes! I also have packing folders for my BF's dress clothes and some of my dresses (they DEF helped us). The sweating is what will probably do me in. I'm the girl who has to order an Iced Coffee in the middle of winter (in the North) because otherwise I will be drenched in sweat haha. If you want the brands just let me know and I will see if I can dig them out from storage

And hip huggers... yowza my body isn't ready for those to come back

Yes we have seen the options for the zipline my BF and I are big adventure junkies (We went skydiving last year for his bday... his second time my first). We are stuck between doing the one on Labadee or the worlds steepest one in St. Maarten

Matt, trust me -- after a hot day out and about, everyone downwind of me will know if I'm rewearing something from that day. ?
