Fuzzywuzzy

The three days is the time it took for his shorts to go the correct way back out of his butt.

While we were on the Disney Magic, my son, who was 6 at the time (he's now 13) was not into the children's menu (he's a foodie, not picky). Our waiter in Animator's Palate asked him what he would like, instead. My son replied "a venison steak, please". (I thought, "oh brother"). The waiter replied, "how would you like it cooked?" My son replied, "how my mom makes it." I said medium rare, and that is exactly what our waiter brought out for him, plus french fries. ?  FWIW: We have left Disney, since they've priced us out of our Alaska cruise. We are giving RCCL a try for the next couple of years and see how it goes, but for price and amenities that I WANT (to pay for), Royal seems like a no brainer.  We are cruising to Alaska July 2019 in an Owner's  suite. At the time of booking, that was the same price as a regular ocean view on DCL. The junior suite on Royal was the same price as an inside stateroom on DCL (at time of booking).

First problem I see is that the beds in all these rooms are on pedestal bases. Where the heck am I supposed to stow my luggage? The closet, like some animal?!? ?

Seems to me RC is aiming directly at the “family” market. Splashaway Bay, bumper cars, mini golf, water slides, etc. The nightclub crowd is a totally different demographic. Certainly not an absolute, but judging by the comments here it’s apparent their numbers are decreasing. Heck, just think of cruise ship demographics overall. Isn’t the largest percentage group 50+ ?  That’s me. And I’m not going to any nightclubs any time soon. Heck, I’m not even awake at that time any more ?

In the 70’s, the hot place for spring break during high school and college in the Atlanta area was Daytona Beach, FL. Almost every year there was someone who died from trying to cross from one balcony to another (as with the 16yo boy that just lost his life doing this on a RCL ship). I think at that age it just doesn’t occur to you that you can die, they feel invincible. Such a sad ending and such a horror for his family.

And thank YOU! My husband is also a LEO!

hahaha... i do love being retired,  it gives me free time to plan the next cruise,..  i need a drink.. lol

bahaha!!! yea, last day of cruise starts countdown to the next! 
175 days for Mariner!!!
307 days for Harmony!!!
We might just be addicted to cruising now!

Yeah, this. ??
10 more years to minimum retirement age. Would like to do it that early on, but I think it's more likely I'll end up having to work to the usual 65 (or whatever the modified age is where I can also start withdrawing Social Security). In the meantime, I'm getting by with 1 cruise a year (but doing to my best to make each one as memorable as possible via itinerary).

Laura and Speed I'm a retired LEO so I know what you do and my son is a county 911 dispatcher. Thanks for all you do.

Ummm, what does your astrological sign have to do with coping skills? I mean, I'm an Aquarius and learning all about this stuff scratches my sign's "gotta learn it all" itch, but it doesn't really help with the waiting for the next embarkation.
And I still can't figure out how one "retires" from their Sun Sign... ??

Since I am a 911 dispatcher, I have 6 monitors for work and 1 personal computer to surf cruise stuff. Good thing my job forces me to be a good multitasker! ? Counting down the days until Freedom! 8 days!

@lauraodonnell86  me too!!! Although they banned personal devices at my center so I just use one of my multiple monitors for cruise-related things, LOL.

We have found that an extra gratuity at the beginning to the bartender and room attendant has served us well on many a cruise.  True you are not obligated to produce an extra tip. Let you conscience  be your guide.
