Honestly, i don't think it matters with the Hideout! I'll go through my trip report, if you need to be closer to the restrooms! Cabana post -

Congrats on the awesome BC price! We, and when i say we, i mean me because Batman is his usually clueless self, have been stalking the CP for sales as we are on Odyssey in January. They claim to be giving me a BF preview, but the prices we paid for excursions are the same as i got over Labor Day, and no love on a Casita either. Hmpph. This is seriously one reason i despise Royal. I hate CP stalking. -

Ha! Now that I've had time to catch up (Tuesday night was like the Super Bowl in this house ), a few thoughts on Holland House! They certainly appreciate a reservation via email. And since we had one and went during low season (end of August) she included our towels and we had front row seats. The chairs are very nice and i had the fish tacos, which i loved. However, i have to say the service on the beach was painfully slow. Batman teased that he was glad he didn't put our server down as an emergency contact! Now, as we were headed to HH, the guy who does the chairs next to HH stalked us all the way there, giving us a hard sell on how his pricing was so much better (and it was). It definitely included more drinks, but the chairs weren't as nice and besides that, we'd already made friends on the ship who were also going to HH, so we just stuck with the plan. And, yeah for Deck 17!! Congrats! I've used the same method a million times and have often upgraded and chosen my room outright instead of gambling! We would def prefer a side facing CLS than a aft/deck facing one. Not sure how you are, but not something i would risk! -

Sorry! I do need to read and catch up, but it's a Sweet, Sweet Symphony this life! Holland House, based on my friend's recommendation, is great! We went our past cruise (on Norwegian) and plan to go again on Odyssey in January. -

What is this event? And are you the one in the green dress, looking at the host? It's hard to tell in profile. Also, that is a lot of Pins! We didn't have many in May/June, but noticed a ton when we sailed Oasis in September. That must be their month to sail (although oddly i priced every single Symphony cruise out of NJ this season before booking, and oddly the May 31-June 7 was priced better than September, at least for Star Class.) -

I hear this. My cousin and his wife were teachers in FL with several years of experience. They decided to move back home to NJ, and could not believe their salaries (nearly double), compared to FL. And they are both PE teachers with better benefits than me who works at a F500 company. Sorry i missed this! First 11 night, Jan 5. I wanted that 12 night SO badly, but i made the mistake of not booking until late in the evening on the day the itineraries were open for booking. Pickings were slim! For me. Not for most sane, typical people. Just slim pickings for me. Your S2S2S for 18 nights sounds so cool! I don't remember now if you said who was going on that one with you. But I'm sure hoping that the Vintages glom their way on to at least one. Purely for entertainment value. For us here reading your blog .... -

P.S. Welcome home! I know you were a bit nervous sailing Symphony/Oasis Class, but it sounds like you had an overall good trip! Thanks for sharing! -

The Mr. took a hot girl walk? It doesn't have the same meaning. I mean, i can't be the only one who thought Mr. Regular went creeping? Sorry, too much pineapple talk a la @Ampurp85 -

Who does that??????? Seriously. Who????? Decorum is Dead. Port of Miami to Port Everglades? That should be cool as it's only like 30 min between ports with no traffic. (SIL & BIL live in Fort Lauderdale). I've never sailed Royal out of PE, but i do like PoM. And Symphony, we just loved, but a week is WAY too short. But i would sail her again in a heartbeat if the price was right and it was longer than a week. Up next for us is Odyssey, but I'm not a fan of the promenade/esplanade either way with the exception of the pub so it's not a deal breaker for us, but I'm in complete agreement with you on the restaurant layouts. When you're stuck at one off those tables outside the restaurant, you might as well be eating at a food court. Not sure what they were thinking there. Weird set up. It sounds like we'll be on our sailing when you're starting your S2S2S. -

I was going to say, All You Can Eat is probably a good call for your brother, now that you're eating on your own dime. -

I'm 2 minutes in here and fading fast. There are a few definitions of soft swap. I don't care for any of them, but the key is to ask and be specific when you soft swap. I wish i didn't know that. Now every time i pass a door, I'm going to have PTSD from this search, wondering what's going on in there ....
