Lol busted 😂

So theoretically if you're really good/lucky, you could get 2500 points from an initial $5.

It's just a place to sleep and shower (and change clothes).
Yep, that's us, but my go to line is that cruising is so great b/c there are an infinite number of ways to enjoy it. Everyone likes what they like.

Awesome spot to hang out and grab a drink with lots of good people watching! It gets pretty busy late night. 

Wait… you’re prepping your stomach for a 4-nighter??? It’s 4N, go crazy! 🤣 One of the few benefits to a shorter cruise… you don’t have to worry about that “uh oh, I’ve really been eating a ton” feeling by day 6 or 7. Maybe that’s just me though. 🤷‍♂️
Congrats on the RU!

Agreed. Wonder for March 2026 I found to be decent pricing. Probably the best I have seen in two years. Wonder 8/17/2025 is awful, I think that has to do with Star inaugural cancellation. And Utopia is just bad all around. 

Now that I have made my bookings, I’ll share that pricing for Wonder in January/February 2026 is the best value for latest batch of releases. 
The delta above freedom class is small and delta for Utopia is large. 
 

I was able to booked three short cruises on Freedom. We like Freedom. We are doing a B2B.

I haven't looked at Liberty's prices but that's how I felt about Adventure when it was released for PC. Sure, it's cheaper than Wonder (not saying much there) and I never priced group rates, but even as a frugal cruiser, like you said, the drop off in what it comes with is pretty significant. I wish they had left Mariner here. Not only do we have a sentimental attachment but it has Playmakers, Bamboo Room, Dog House, etc. Adventure has... ummm... not much.

I don't mind the short Florida cruises for an occasional getaway but at premium rates it's a hard pass for me.  
I have many bucket list destinations on my list.  When a short Florida cruise represents a sizeable chunk of a bucket list cruise I tend to save my money to apply towards my list.

Here we go!!

Booked a whole bunch of weekend sailings out of Miami and Everglades. Wonder 3-day GTY Suite prices weren’t terrible, and way better than PCN ships. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Gonna get used to those weekend “jaunts” down 95. 
 
Hope everyone got what they wanted!

Just booked the Royal Caribbean Blog group cruise for December28, 2024. This will be my first-time cruise with you all as a group we are looking forward to meeting you all.

Oh, crap, good point. Sorry I said anything about it helping you. 🙁
I guess we'll just go back to hoping the release is tonight. 🤞

Please release Wonder and Utopia itineraries today 🤞

Please don't break your F5 key or whatever method I assume you are using to refresh pages every 3 minutes.
Ditto on the 🤞.

I am waiting. 

Let's Hope!  

Not seeing it in any of the 4 Utopia sailings we have booked. 

We are in.  I must have missed the group rate 😪 
Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Sorry...  I'm reloading as well...  As mentioned, I'm almost certain that we'll be "trudging"  down to Miami/Port Everglades for any good "affordable" 3-days in 2025...  PCN is getting too cool.  😉

I refuse to make that trudge. If the prices out of PC are THAT insane I guess I'd explore the option but it would take a HUGE savings. GL to both of us!

Wow, the Daily Mail? Matt's going to end up doing the Monday youtube session with a British accent at this rate.
