    Cruising to Retirement! got a reaction from Sweety in Mods Gone Wild!!!! Icon Inaugural Sailing - January 27 - February 3, 2024   
    I loved the indepth review of the Icon!  Sounds very different from the rest, unique, and a great time had by all!  Thanks to all of you for excellent indepth reviews!  
    On our Jan 14th Wonder for our 40th Anniversary we met up with the Icon at Coco Cay.  It was very fun to see.  The people that work in Vintages that we saw every night got to go over to the ship and go through it.  They told Bill and I so many wonderful things.  How very exciting for all of you!  All of your pictures took us all on a treasure hunt through the entire ship, etc.  So happy for one and all!  Thanks so much!

    Hello Mary!
    My husband and I want to thank you so much for all the fabulous pictures of the ship, the many shows with awesome pictures and reviews, and of course the pics of the main dining rooms including meals.  We are sailing on the Ascent for Thanksgiving 2024 in a Sunset Veranda on deck 8.  This ship is going to be so much fun.  We can't get over all the different shows, food, and drinks!  We are way more excited now!  (It's my daughters turn with their Mother-in-laws so we always go on a Thanksgiving day cruise!)  
    You did a wonderful review!  A huge thanks Michelle and Bill!  Happy Sailing!

    Have you ever been to the rocks on the point? You can enter through Harbour Inlet Dr (Just E of 17th Street Bridge) and walk though one of the condos to the beach. If you head South on the beach you can watch the ships exit from the rocks which is pretty great.

    Thanks so very much Cruisellama but I upgraded to premium for $6.99 last week on this Beyond cruise and so surprised that on our Ascent cruise over Thanksgiving in 2024 have the $6.99 and we snatched that up also (not our year to do Thanksgiving our daughters are with their in-laws) I havent seen as many deals on Celebrity that Royal has right now.  Hopefully tomorrow! 
    We are going on the Equinox on January 18 2025 out of Pt. Canaveral  and that cruise does not have the $6.99 premium upgrade yet and decided to get into the Aqua Class which was all included including the tips at that time which we also really enjoyed everyone of the people in Blue so much in 2022 and decided to upgrade from our Sunset balcony!  We had been in the Retreat once on Equinox in 2022 also and didn't care for it near as much as the Blue dining!  There is something always for us whether it's on Royal or Celebrity there is more than enough ships and entertainment, food, etc. that we love them both!  We did also stay in Aqua on Solstice in March of this year and had a great time also!  We upgraded that time from a casino comp from a balcony up to the Aqua Class on Pacific Coastal!   We just love to cruise!
    We are happy Equinox will be in Pt. Canaveral so we can drive there from Atlanta area!  
    Thanks again!  Happy cruising!

    Safe travels everyone!  We are so excited to be back on the Harmony on Sunday!  We are going to the Taylor Swift concert at the AMC movie theater first on Friday here at home!  Went to our first and only Taylor Swift concert in 2012 with Ed Sheeran.  They were both great!    Looks like weather maybe a little rainy but thats okay with us!
    Hope everyone has safe travels!  See everyone on Sunday!  
    Almost finished packing...

    Well I guess we were spared now that they have a 45 day temporary funding!  That's great news so we can fly down as planned in 14 days!
    That's a huge relief!

    We are super excited getting on to the Harmony one last time until it moves back over to Galveston.  We are using our casino comp too!  Can't wait to see Grease again and my favorite water show of all!   We are thinking we will now drive down if they have a government shutdown!  That's the one bad thing!  Fingers crossed but not looking good at the moment!  We booked many months ago!  We are just glad that it's finally almost here!

    What an amazing cruise that all of us get to enjoy from the eyes of Twangster with amazing photos and insight on his journey.  We definitely are gonna be intrigued with this blog even if some of us are confused just by the cruise map alone.  If i was to steer the ship, doubt would make destination ports in order just sail in complete circles.
    What was overall decision to sail Silversea?  1st time? How were options with excursions?  Variety for any levels of activity?  Obviously more about itinerary than ship but will be interested to hear details on passenger count demographic whether more older or younger crowd and of course the food.
    Have a great cruise
