Firefly

So these are about 10 years old, but they still count right? I couldn't pick just one either. Hoping to add a lot more favorites when we finally get to take our next cruise in September.  
 
The fruit carvings make me happy - I just love him!

 
My husband is always picked to hold signs because he's so tall.

And the obligatory sunset...or maybe it's a sunrise.

 
 
 

Here Are Mine. I Cant Pick Just One

I'm like @coneyraven, can't pick just one. Here's a few from our first cruise ever, on Freedom of the Seas:





 
And here's a few from our first cruise to Bermuda on Anthem:



 
Can't wait to see what @twangster decides on. But it might require a whole page of his own to fit it all! ?

From the Independence in January 2017 for my birthday, and the Anthem in September of 2017 for my honeymoon. 

Um, yeah, I couldn't choose a favorite so I went a little "overboard" 
A few of my favorite pics from 2016, 2017, 2018 on Grandeur OTS -- all trips to Bermuda.

As a former Air Force guy, I love this view on Freedom:
 

Hi Every One Just For Fun Show Us You Best Cruise Photo You Took. Here Mine

This is from the Beach Bungalows in Labadee....one of the best days I've had on a cruise.

Wrong cruise line?

Just off of Brilliance, and my wife's drink of choice to end the night was a chocolate martini in the Schooner Bar.  She was wary of going off script, since they had made such a great one in the champagne bar on Oasis as noted above.  The gentleman behind the bar was... methodical... but the end result was excellent.  He also kept refilling her glass from anything left in his mixer so it was like 1.5 drinks, which was not bad for a non drink package cruise.  

Tiramisu Martini. We seriously skipped dessert the last 4 nights of our Oasis cruise and enjoyed drinking dessert. Yes, they are slightly over the drink package limit, but we thought they were well worth it. The Chocolate Martini was was covered in the package so we indulged on those other times.
 
Have a great cruise!

Brilliance in two days.  I have the drink package ?
Im not afraid to experiment some, tell me what my next drink order should be...   maybe I’ll try it.  

Like most things cruising, it never hurts to ask!

I’ve been following for a long time, but finally came out of lurk mode and registered.
 
I’m Katrina and my husband Eric and I have recently fallen in love with cruising (and Royal Caribbean). Our first cruise with Royal was this past June on Allure with our two tween boys. We followed that up with an Oasis cruise last month without the boys and currently have 2 more cruises booked. (1 with the boys, 1 without)
Thank you for all the great info and tips. Thanks to this blog I have booked Maya Chan for our Brilliance cruise in December and we couldn’t be more excited!
 

Radiance has a Champagne Bar where Brilliance has Vintages (deck 6).  No Champagne Bar on Brilliance. 
Brilliance does have an R Bar (Centrum) and Schooner Bar that I bet can make them.  The pub might even make them.  

Agree with @Todd W , on this one, but if it isn't the Champagne Bar it is more than likely the R Bar.

as long as the bar is stocked appropriately, you can essentially order any drink from any of the bars.  Chocolate martini's are pretty much a staple drink so you shouldn't have any issue on any of the ships.  it may not be on the menu at all bars but you can certainly still ask for them to make you one.

We have done both the half day and full day tours on St. Maarten with http://coconut-reef.com/ and they were both great days out on the water. In June our boys, 10 & 12, said it was the best day of the cruise. My husband and I went out with them again last month and feel in love with Pinel Island. I can’t imagine visiting SXM and not going out with Coconut Reef. In June we were the only family on the half day tour, and last month there were only 2 other couples on the boat with us. We love the small group size in comparison to the big group tours common with ship sponsored excursions.
On St. Thomas we booked a private tour with https://www.stthomasadventures.com/snorkel for $120pp. We toured with the owner, Web, and he was amazing. We swam with turtles and snorkeled from the beach at Hull Bay. Even with 4 ships in port that day we never saw a crowd. Highly recommend a tour with them while in St. Thomas. They will take you were you want to go and provide everything you need to snorkel. We have already booked with him again for our family Symphony cruise with the boys next year.
