I don't cruise with children and I put my luggage out the night before and then I get a porter to take it to the shuttle bay. The less I have to carry the better.

Got my dining, drink pkg all set and snagged a bungalow for Labadee. Just got off Oasis yesterday...now only 348 to go for this one.

I got an e-mail for Royal up this morning for my sailing in 3 days and the cheapest bid per person is almost what I already paid for the cruise.

An Oasis class out of Tampa would be wonderful, but they can't fit under the bridge.

Not a service animal. Fluffy needs to stay home. If you can't leave the animal then you don't need to be cruising. I was a working dog handler in the military and have worked with the service animals for the blind and my mother currently volunteers with the Paws for Passengers at the Reno Airport. I am in healthcare now and I can't even count the number of times patients have asked me to write letters for them to take their animals with them. I have said no everytime. I know what it takes to have to need these very specialized animals and to have to them trained. Service animals cost thousands of dollars in training and everyone that wants to take Fluffy with them to the store, Dr's office, to dinner, on the plane, or on a cruise, diminishes the real service animals and does a disservice to the disabled that truly need them.

yeah and it is the week of my cruise so I will miss being able to book via next cruise while on the cruise.

What about Root Beer... that is still beer.

Nope...I turn my phone off and lock it in the safe for the duration of the cruise. I am on VACATION !!!!

When I had my 1st cruise as an adult, my cruise was not until Dec and I applied for a passport in March so I knew I would have it in time.

We put a jacket on because we moved to sunny SW Florida!!

When did they start heating it?? We were there last Dec and it was freezing butt cold. When we were back in Feb we had to cancel the beach club as the overall temp that day was only 68. Not even going to go out without a jacket when it is that cold let alone go in the water.

WOW!! Cats?? Sold out??

sold out? I just booked the comedy show with no problems had choices of multiple days and times for Oasis sailing in 10 days.

Are you sure you were looking at the Nacho cheese and not the queso? As Queso can be a but more yellowish than orange. And it will taste different.

I have seen it and understand it and I will not go back. While I did appreciate and was impressed with the performances, the story is horrific and sad. And the way they portray the electric cat comes in disguise as the old cat looks like he killed him and skinned him. I just did not like it. That and let's all vote on who gets to die and go to cat heaven, so the Carol Burnett cat gets to go this time but what about all the others they are just S.O.L??? Andrew Lloyd Webber just did not do anybody any favors with this one.

So I have a sailing in 18 days on the Oasis and then one next year on Symphony and if they make these changes I will have to seriously consider switching lines. And this really sucks because I will have just made it to Diamond.

Yeah I got it and I said for them to keep it the same... do not change it.

yay!!... got my drink pkg and a beach bungalow for Dec 2023 sailing booked.

We plan in relax time every day and a nap before dinner.

That does not matter to me as if I am closer to an elevator then I walk to the opposite elevator so I get more steps in. If I have to go to the bow I use the aft elevators and vise versa. The longer the walk the better. After dinner we always go to our room with the extra desert and then to the walking track and do a few laps before the show and a few after the show of the evening.

I am wondering if we will have to do this on my upcoming sailing. We have a stop at Labadee then at San Juan which is a US port. We don't get into San Juan until 2 pm though.

Nah... but I am not wealthy enough to turn my nose up at $10k.

w00t!!... booked my Aqua and Ice shows for Dec 11 Oasis of the Seas sailing. No comedians or other headliner yet. WILL NOT SIT through CATS again. If you got the $10k in cash @Xaameet me at the terminal and then I will show you pics when I get back.

Indy is a great ship. We did a trip to Cozumel and it was a very fun time. The show was Grease and it was very well done. The only drawback was the 1st day windjammer was very very crowded.
