So I have been getting a few offers but they only go up to 3/31/25... anyone get any offers for after 4/1/25? I am on Adventure in 12 days and will hit prime but was wanting to get an offer for after 4/1/25 to work on the next years status early.

Welcome and congratulations on your life celebrations. It is my 1st to Grand Turks but 2nd to the DR but 1st to this port. As for excursions I am not much help here other than in the future plan further out than 2 weeks. The availability and pricing with be much better the further away from your cruise. If you see me on board say hi and if you need help just let me know and I will do what I can. Only 12 days to go!!

Adventure 8/24/24

yeah LOL and sad at the same time.

Same here but I am further south on I-75... We have to deal with Alligator Alley and the problems it can throw at you. In addition it is currently under construction so yeah there's that too.

Yeah see the Clam Nummer.

Actually the best bang for the buck I have found is not on board any ship but in the ports. Specifically the Bearded Clam in Nassau. Check out the drink menu and pick one. Just make sure you have plenty of time to get back to the ship...its only one block but when you see the menu you will understand. I was there this past May and it took me 1 hour to get back to the ship after just 1 drink and a shot.

This is a trick question as there are no good cruises over the holidays. We avoid all holiday cruises to try and minimize the amount of children on board. But for entertainment purposes I can book a 5 night eastern caribbean cruise on Grandeur 3/16/2025 for just $115.78

Not to go to far off topic but I am in a walking boot until at least Nov and I have a cruise in 19 days with a stop at Coco Cay. I am not even going to get off the ship this go around. I have been to Coco Cay several times and with more coming up in the future. I will enjoy the mostly empty ship amenities. I wish you all the best in your adventures.

Yes that would work on smaller vessels. We would drift fish in the gulf stream on weed lines as well.

Just because the ship may be drifting the engines are still running to provide power to the entire ship. The propulsion may or may not be engaged. For instance you may have a 2-4 kt current and only be running at 1-3 kts of propulsion and you would be at drift and still under way. It really depends on how the current is flowing and ships heading.

So the article states that the only way you can qualify for this is to do all your check in via the app. So if i checked in via the website 45 days early I can not qualify tot eht express boarding? What a load of crap!

So I have been just that unlucky to be there when they are available.

Where would you find these as I have never seen one before on the ships that I have sailed on.

I never purchased the deluxe drink pkg before anyway. I used to get just the refreshment pkg now just the soda pkg.

The sign says Buffalo cheese. Is that really buffalo or is it bison? If it is buffalo what kind? Cape, Water or some other type of buffalo and is it domesticated or wild?

Does it really make a difference as to what the fat content is? If it does then don't even try them. It's not like any of it will make a significant difference to your lipid results for a single sailing. I just would not eat them exclusively.

Oh yes if that was something we could vote for, I would be all on that.

Stupid auto spell...LOL

There is nothing on the ballet I would vote for.

Yeah, just a minor set back... I will need surgery but not until after the cruise.

Well crap! I tore my achilles this weekend and now I will be joining the ranks of mobility challenged cruisers. I am not cancelling this cruise. It is my 1st casino comp.

Having never been on Harmony I would pick her. However I have been on Oasis, Allure and Symphony there are things I like about all them and things I dislike. There is no right or wrong answer or ship to cruise on. They are all fantastic! Just pick one and then the next time go on a different one, or the same one again and again. LOL

On Symphony I would try the "wings" off the solarium or aft on the running track on deck 5. Maybe up by the flowrider but I have not been up there at night so I don't know how much light is there.

Good morning happy cruisers...It's check in day!! Got my 11:00 AM slot. How did all of you do with check in?
