    My royal up was declined. No star class for us! 
     
    I'm very happy with our room though!
     
    Had to get an icecream while we were cruising coco beach.

    I'm siding with this trip over the SC one for a few reasons. The time frame lines up pretty well with a time i can typically take off. Plus if my cruise this Halloween still sails the SC cruise next year would make my 3rd time to the same ports. How many times do you really want to go to Nassau?  I probably wouldn't even get off the ship
     
    Most people love the tropics but i spent 30 years in Florida so it's not all that different. Iceland, Greenland and Norway though?  These are places I've always wanted to go but thought I wouldn't ever make it to.
     
    We are going to discuss more this weekend and probably make a decision 1 way or another.

    I feel the same way and had built a 2020 and 2021 cruise calendar full of more distant bucket list cruises.  Then the pandemic happened.
    Having said that it looks like those Bahamas/Caribbean cruises are safer bets in the near term but as the world gets back to normal the bucket list destinations are calling my name.  
    This Voyager cruise has a pretty awesome itinerary.  For around the same price I have a B2B on Jewel to Norway and then Iceland spending more time in each destination.  The Voyager itinerary has become my backup plan because it is a very attractive itinerary on a nicer ship although the enclosed solarium on Jewel may work better in the region.  
    For now I've grabbed a refundable booking on Voyager so I can sit back and watch how the world reopens in 2021 (hopefully).  If that slips into 2022 I can re-evaluate at some point in early 2022. 
    If in doubt grab something refundable.

    [Please forget that I just said, 2 days ago, that I would not book any new cruises]
    Just booked the 9-4-22 14 night Voyager out of Copenhagen repositioning to Boston.  So excited about going to Norway, Iceland and Greenland !  It's expensive but I was able to get a casino discount so that helped quite a bit.

    Going to bump my old topic... why not? Not like anything new is happening...
     
    So here we are, a year later than this cruise.
     
    Right about now i would have been thinking about how great my 10 year anniversary was while wondering around an empty ship while everyone else is sleeping. (My 11th anniversary was great too but I'm not cruising ?)
     
    It's pretty crazy thinking back. I remember starting to hear about the virus and thinking it was not big deal. Even crazier  we were docked next to Anthem at San Juan... That Anthem sailing was the exact sailing that got quarantined for possible exposure to the virus. 
     
    Tomorrow i get my second dose of the Vaccine. Exactly 1 year away from having an chance exposure. I won't go into the chaos that it has been working in the medical field but it has been stressful to say the least. I do really hope that this year marks us making moves to get this virus behind us.
     
    1 cruise canceled last year for my wife's 40th birthday (star class too /cry). Hopeful for my Halloween booking on Anthem this year! It's not showing as something you can book anymore though, so i'm sure that's not a good sign.
     
    Hope everyone is staying safe and sane! Hope i see everyone cruising soon!

    Yeah at my heaviest I was about 300, I got all the way back to 190 a couple years ago. I have been hovering between 220 and 230. I feel the best with myself under 210. I was 214 when I gave up 2 weeks ago. I'm 220 again.
     
    Dieting is super hard when there is a ton of stress. Work is tough, virus screwing up everything, a line to my septic collapsed and flooded my basement (this started my diet failing, just fully fixed today)... I just wanted a break!
     
    I was just joking about the Häagen-Dazs diet, I haven't been that horrible...I'll get back on track soon.
     
    Going to pretend to cruise in my bathtub now.
