Beautiful photo!

Thanks! I fancy myself the photographer in the family, but my wife snapped that with her iPhone. The sail away was worth every penny of the cruise.

The very modern Barcelona airport is a pleasure to fly in and out of. And it's huge, Texans would be proud to have BCN in their state. If you arrive to the airport early, don't be in a  hurry to get to your gate.

This checks...I was surprised how big the airport was. But getting to and from the airport is quite easy.

The top highlight was taking my first two cruises (only one on Royal) and seeing how much my family loved it.

The top memory was this view sailing out of Venice....

Doesn't this interfere with using your drink package to the max extent?  

My kids interfere with that

Or make it a necessity...

Hope the "cramped" space isn't cramping your style. Looks like the perfect room for my troop of 6.

And tell your wife @Matt is responsible for “YOLO Book It”

It's actually the whole lot of you on these forums...you're just the first instigator to post since I revealed the gift 

Have a great trip!

And although my wife doesn't know it, she hates you for inspiring my YOLO-book-it Christmas present to her and her sisters (but secretly loves you for it, too) 

Wait, what?...people are seriously complaining that there was something given to non-suite guests for "free?" 

a) What has this world come to?

b) How would they know...much less care? I assume they had something of greater or equal value served to them up in Shangri-La

c) Seriously.....what?

Just joining in- great pics! Now I need to go to San Juan...

In Costa Maya we docked next a small shipe from  Regent of the seas (Seven seas Voyager)

As I understands that suppose to be a luxury cruise ship. I could not to notice the dents on the side of the ship

Looks like they had an issue and someone went to the CEO and told him " let's not activate the insurance so our fee won't get up. I will take some of my guys and with hammers plus several packages of Bondo we will fix it"

That'll buff right out

Just remember the old saying Red & Yellow, kill a fellow, Red & Black, friend of Jack!

I was taught by a survival instructor: red on black, venom is lack...red on yellow, you're way too close to the *stinking* snake!

I also have an Indiana Jones-level fear of snakes, so I have no interest getting anywhere near close enough to find out what the color pattern is.

I like the box in a box in a box in a bag idea too! @KLA

Just put cards in the mail to my wife’s sisters. I put a deposit down for three rooms for a June 2020 cruise with all of us, sans kids. Planning to have them all open over FaceTime (they live near each other, and we are far far away). 

Inside is a little poem and a map and itinerary. 

My wife doesn’t know, either, and I figure she can’t kill me for doing this behind her back in front of her sisters.

Adapt and overcome. 

Like I’ve been taught...flexibility is the key to airpower...and indecision is the key to flexibility. 

But seriously, glad it mostly worked out for you. 

4 nights on Mariner-  22 Jun 2020

I was thinking about some sort of puzzle

And how did you reveal the gift?

Looking for ideas how to reveal that I put a deposit down for a cruise with my wife and her sisters and husbands.

Thanks for supporting our sponsor!

And thanks for the point out to a good company! I follow another podcast that also is sponsored by them, so I guess two opinions must be worth something.

June 2020 on Mariner for 4 nights!

Now to plot for the big reveal!

getting ready to send an email to MEI and get the YOLO ball rolling...
