Me, me, meee

I’m anxiously waiting on concierge letter. We have UPD and refreshment package. I have a RU bid on 2 bed Aqua theater still pending. I would like to book CK 1st night. We are almost out of PA. No snow on ground.

We are heading for Florida today. We will be in OS on 6 March. It will be my friend Lisa and me. When I was planning our last cruise, Lisa said she would love to go on a cruise. What could I do? I had a friend in need. I bit the bullet, made the ultimate sacrifice and told her I would go with her.

It all started almost 3 years ago. My family and I were celebrating beating cancer the 1st time. Lisa has more seniority then me so I needed to make sure she didn’t want the same week. That’s when she mentioned she would love to go on a cruise. Her husband won’t go. He claims the sharks go for the heavy guys 1st.

We booked for a February 2021 cruise on Empress of sea. Covid happened. With @michelle’s help we upgraded to OS and lifted and shifted to Harmony. That cruise was chartered so now we are going March 6, 2022.

During Covid I beat cancer for 2nd and hopefully last time. I had to retire early and Lisa retired 2020. 

I let my granddaughter go to town putting stickers all over mine.

It’s an iPhone. Thank you so much for the help. I use phone as camera also. I thought it was placing phone on airplane mode but that seemed to simple.

It’s finally 14 days until my cruise. It’s been soooo long since I’ve been on a cruise that I’ve forgotten how to set my phone settings. Can you help me please. I would hate to get roaming charges.

Congratulations 

I just received an invitation to bid for March 6 on HOS. I’m in OS. I’m bidding on 2 bedroom Aqua suite. I was surprised to get it this early.

How close to the sailing can you say you don’t like protocols?

Happy thanksgiving. I’m giving thanks for family and feeling healthy. I agree with @FManke.

Unfortunately my issue is still not resolved. My purchases are not showing up in my cruise planner. On hold for the 4th time. I wonder how many hours it will take this time.

My Labadee for 3/6/22 has not been canceled yet. I would be happy if they changed to give us new itinerary soon so we can see if there are any excursions we would like.

I called back tonight, spoke with a supervisor that assured me by tomorrow afternoon my purchases will be reflected in the cruise planner and the extra charges will be deleted.

I hope he is correct and other peoples purchases are also corrected.

I’m on Harmony on 3/6/22. Cocoa Key beach club went down to $99. I called and canceled my original booking to book at new price. I gave them one card. He said it didn’t go through can I have number again. He said that didn’t go through. I gave him a different card. He said that didn’t go through. I looked at my bank online. The 1st card had 2 charges pending and the 2nd has 1 charge pending. I told the person that I was talking to that I have been charged 3 times for the same thing. He put me on hold and said it was taken care of and charges should post back in 20 minutes.

It didn’t work. I still have 3 charges and no reservation. I called back and after waiting on hold for 2 hours finally talked to someone. She put me on hold while she talked to resolutions. I was disconnected. I’m not a happy camper. I will try again tomorrow morning.

I really hope others are having better luck.

I like your books. I attempted a live blog on our last cruise. I failed miserably.

I really appreciate those that can write about their time on the ship.

Thank you. I put information in my notes. Hopefully I won’t have to ask again.

I really appreciate that you can get an answer here without snarky comments.

No kids this trip. I’m traveling with a friend from work. Her husband refuses to cruise. He claims the sharks go after fluffy people.

We planned this cruise for February 2021 before I relapsed.

My husband and I will be driving down. Because of the cancer, I retire early at the end of this month. My friend will probably fly down. Probably TMI. I’m just excited that this cruise is going to happen for us. 

I really appreciate the information.

With the new protocols out, I need to ask questions. I know that I have seen this info but I can’t remember where.

We are cruising on 6 March 2022. It’s another celebration cruise for getting thru lymphoma for the 2nd time.

Now my questions.

1. We leave on a Sunday. What day is earliest we can test?

2. What information must be included on the negative covid test?

Thank you for the information. I rarely post but I’m here every day lurking. This site has helped during my chemotherapy and treatments. It gave me something positive to look forward to.

I’m usually the planner for my family. I have come to the conclusion that for me at Disney World things will not go as I had planned. As long as we make it to our dinner reservations on time, I try to not become stressed about the rest.

My hubby and I will usually go a couple days earlier or stay a couple of after so I can do what I want.

I hope you continue winning in casino and have a wonderful time the rest of your cruise.

You would have to be in excellent health and need no medicines refilled and have no need for Dr visits. Sounds like an amazing trip.

How far in advance would you need to cancel if you purchased it in advance?

Thank you for response. I’m so excited at the thought of sky class. We will be in an owners suite. Having extra space is special.

We will be on Harmony of seas on March 6, 2022.

2nd question. How early can I look for a cabana on Barefoot beach? With the chemo drugs I have been given, I need to be in shady spot. This is my friend’s 1st cruise and I want it to be an extra special for her.

Since we will be sky class and able to be on Nellie’s beach do they have the 2 people beach lounger?

Will people who can’t have vaccine still be allowed to cruise? Will they be able to have covid test instead?
