Channeling my inner @Laurac22 and @twangster with a lemon drop martini!

Recap of day one tomorrow morning!  

Will do and will scope cabin tomorrow 😊

Could we see pics of the CP double balcony?

It’s CRUISE day!  
Pit stop along I75 headed to Miami from Naples!  Almost there now!

It’s cruise day! 

It’s cruise day! 

Start packing!
 

She's in the air and on her way! 

Start packing!
 

Great news about your daughter, @Karahvacatimes! Kind of a bummer that she'll be spending the whole trip in a cast, but that's still better than having to cancel last-minute.
Maybe she can get some officer and/or crew signatures on her cast as a kind of memento of the trip?

What a perfect time to continue.....look what showed up today!  New swag to add to our suitcase.  Side note--I have not even started packing yet which is extremely odd for me!

Now that I have lured you all in, its THAT time...

Oh YES, yes it is!!!  We need your help (please). We have decided not to do any formal excursions on this cruise but rather, fly by the seat of our pants and explore on our own.  We plan on staying on the ship in Nassau but where would you go or what would you do in....

St. Thomas--10:00 to 6:00 
and

St. Kitts/Nevis--7:00 to 4:00
We don't want to lounge on a beach all day (see profile pic-ha ha) but would rather explore unique or scenic areas and eat local food at a place with an amazing view with a few cocktails!  
Cant wait to see what you come up with!

First off because its the most important thing today ......
Its Single Digit Dance Day!!  

And now for something completely new, from me that is!  A Live Blog (or as live as I can make it) from our 7 night sailing on Symphony of the Seas, March 2-9 with stops in Nassau, St Thomas, and St Kitts/Nevis.  
Just a little background info to get you as close to as excited as I am!! 

We booked this cruise in July 2017 at NextCruise on Anthem of the Seas!  Anthem was the first cruise we had taken in 15 years!!

Symphony was still being built and we were stoked to book our first Oasis Class Ship.

I have 9 more days to to tell you all about the rest of the firsts for this cruise so "Come aboard, we're expecting you!"

Just, you know, a little larger....

Finally got back over 1 million loyalty points. Now I just need Royal to offer the free 7 night cruise again. 

Keep checking back. This happens every so often and then Royal reappears. 

I have cashed in for almost $1000 in obc over the past 2-3 years and that was without spending 1 penny on the game. I broke down and gave them $3 today. In return I received another 8k in reward points and still have most of the coins left. I only need 80k reward points for the free cruise. As long as I get the same return it would only take a $30 investment.

I was reading the past posts on the Roll Call for the Sept 16th Harmony sailing (group cruise). A few folks mentioned that the RCblog group cruise was part of that sailing. I got a chuckle out of one members reply... 

That's great news. Before all of the "Galveston Haters" start dumping on your post, there are several interesting points in the article in addition to the fact that you pointed out that ships sail from Galveston at 110%:
Terminal 3 will be a ~$100 million investment by Royal Caribbean and could be a 60-year deal (20 year initial term with four 10-year extensions)... I'm sure Royal has done their homework and know Texas will support the expansion. 70% of passengers drive to the port and 20 million people live within a day's drive.  With the Texas economy being perennially strong I believe there will be plenty of support for the expansion. By bringing in a new, experienced, Port Director about a year ago, Galveston has taken a key step in expanding their cruise business and brought a fresh vision for the Port.

We booked Soualiga Adventures. So "neither" in terms of the original post topic. 😉
