AshleyDillo got a reaction from CNA Jacksonville in Wonder of the Seas 10-17 August 2025
Luggage tags will be in your cruise documents. It should be at 30 days out, so they should be available now or within the next few days.

AshleyDillo got a reaction from WAAAYTOOO in Richard Fain stepping down
In my opinion in the grand scheme of things, Mario doesn't move the needle either way. He's just one cruiser sailing in one cabin and the perks he gets on each sailing really don't affect the bottom line all that much.

AshleyDillo got a reaction from WAAAYTOOO in Time it takes to post points
Mine haven't posted for either of my Indy sailings. I heard the same from others on our sailing. I would assume calling Club Royale will start the research process. They can obviously see that I have two instant certificates that would total more than the points that are currently showing.

I’m worried about the risk cruising poses to my liver.

Those drinks are fun! Hideaway has some good ones too and with 100% less kids!

Even if you got nothing....this blog seems to be taking a life of it's own tangents? Shall we remind you to pack underwear next?

I heard they have a show in Tijuana with a Donkey.
Count me in, I love animals.

AshleyDillo got a reaction from J_Keeble in Ive booked a cruise for 2 people. what happens if only 1 goes in regard to drink package?
You have to pay upfront for their package but it will get refunded when they no show (as will port fees and taxes).
If you want a good DX price you are seeing in the Cruise Planner, call Royal to book and tell them the other person doesn't drink and they will allow you to purchase the Refreshment package for them which gives you a less upfront outlay.

It is Vintages. That's the wine bar on the older Oasis class ships.

I may or may not have been putting some major studying into the UDP over the past few weeks for some odd reason. 😉

For me, my balance will be restored once I am on the pool deck with a gin and tonic in hand. Life and work for me as of late has been noting more than controlled chaos.

Down to the lucky 88 days until the cruise! If anyone spends time in the casino you may notice that bets are sometimes set at 88 cents or multiples of that. Here is to success, wealth, and balance as we get one day closer to the cruise!

AshleyDillo got a reaction from Hoppy2BHere in What is your opinion of Adventure of the Seas
I was on Adventure over Christmas this past year. It's not the newest ship with the most bells and whistles, but it isn't fair to compare it against the newer and larger ships. As you've been on an Oasis class ship it will feel slightly familiar as Oasis did evolve from this class of ships (Voyager). I would have no issues sailing on her again.

I am feeling the same way. I cant wait to get on this sailing. Not only for the group cruise, but to also celebrate my wedding anniversary. I am looking forward to sitting in central park at night, with a bottle of wine and listen to the guitar player. Until then, I will continue my countdown.. already pulled the suitcases from the garage to start making it feel closer.

When I read this, the first thing that popped into my head was, "....so they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverleeeee. Hills, that is...".

This is the start of my retirement year. It has been a full of joy journey. What has started as a three retirement has grown to over 10. Thank you @Ampurp85, @WAAAYTOOO, @Lovetocruise2002, @OCSC Mike, @twangster for making me step out of my comfort zone of cruise ships. 34 years of teaching and I am ready for my next journey. I hope to meet this awesome team of cruisers to help me celebrate my journey. I was awarded the principal star award. I am the first recipient. The award stated, “Thank you for being a star player for administrators, teachers, staff, students and for going beyond your duties.

Please do. What’s funny is, if you didn’t know the backstory, @GatorCruiser and I sailed together in March 2024 on Wonder & he posted plenty of pics in my blog in that one. It was almost a joint blog & he was in Sky Class posting the fancy stuff I didn’t have access to. Now he just likes to bother me. 🤣
Can’t wait. Taste testing for my first time there was fun but I have my favs now. Need to try the peanut butter piña though b/c I’m not a whiskey drinker so I skipped it but I’ve been told it’s good.
You better, you know they’re not for me, happy wife, etc. Joking aside, we’re gonna do our best to sleep better so we’re up as early as usual this time. The walk across deck 16 in the early morning was really nice. New CL was nice too. Similar look but at least it has windows & isn’t in the basement anymore.
