Most of my travelling is to see my only grandchild who turns 7 months on 1/27 whom lives 12 hours from me. I usually also go to Santa Rosa beach for a couple of long weekends & than 1 week every October. I have 2 cruises scheduled for this year also. Here's what I know so far. Since my wife retired & I have extra vacation to use this year I get to travel more. ? 1/27 Allure of the seas 3/6 Santa Rosa Beach Late March / Early April Oklahoma to see grandson Late May Oklahoma to see grandson Late June / Early July Oklahoma to see grandson 8/9 Ovation of the seas Oct Santa Rosa Beach Thanksgiving Oklahoma Christmas Oklahoma Now that I put it all on paper I think I'll be on the road LOL

No waivers for my cruise this weekend

I guess if you always purchased internet than the Key might be worth the cost with the other perks but to me it's out priced at (per person / per day) as I like to go on a cruise & unplug from anything internet related because I'm already on my laptop / phone if I'm awake. This gives me a chance to unplug for a week.

Depends on where I'm going & if I've been there before

My cruise was about 3 weeks out when I downloaded the app for my 1.27 cruise on Allure & all my stuff showed up in my calendar

I hadn't been on a cruise in 8 years & my mother n law said she'd pay for the room if I planned the trip. I'm always for bigger is better so I only looked at the Oasis class cruises. Allure won out so I'll be going this weekend 1/27. But ports due play a big role so going forward (as I've done Bahamas & Cozumel in past cruises) I picked my next cruise based off ports & not ship. I guess it really depends on your preference at time of booking ship or port preference.

Me too!

Totally agree!!!

On a cruise I just booked it had the OBC printed on the invoice & it had it split between the 2 people in the room.

Yeah I read somewhere your printed version works until you get the official one

Thanks Have enjoyed following along

Enjoyed scrolling thru this blog just now as I prepare for next weekends cruise

Me too & cant't wait

Thanks as I go on this same cruise 1/27

Thanks I was wondering if there was an option like this so I could check into flights & print boarding passes

Agreed. Lowest price always

Was looking at Bermuda & than stumbled across this blog. Thanks JL as it was very informative. I've put this cruise as a future potential

I need to check if that is in my cruise planner as my wife would probably like to do that

IDIOT! enough said

Thanks for the blog

Agree 1/27 sailing The DB package was $50 until 1/4 & it dropped to $42 so I booked it & the RR package for $26. Than on 1/8 the RR package dropped to $20 so I cancelled & rebooked. Be nice if something would drop again but doubtful ?

Am I supposed to see them in the cruise planner

My cruise is in 11 days but I haven't saw any activity waivers.
