    bossdog421 got a reaction from Big Tule in We Still Do – Vow Renewal on Harmony - 1/26/20 – 2/2/20   
    Semi live blog, we’ll see how that works out!
     
    10 days to go!!! Crown Loft Suite - Deck 17
     
    Day 1 - Port Canaveral ?
    Day 2 - Sea Day – Ship stuff – formal night, main dining anniversary celebration planned by TA
    Day 3 - Sea Day
    Day 4 - St. Maarten (Anniversary Day!) – Island tour, vow renewal in our suite, Izumi Hibachi, After Party
    Day 5 - San Juan – Beach Day
    Day 6 – Sea Day
    Day 7 - Coco Cay – Overwater Cabana Booked!!!
    Day 8 - ☹
     
    This will be our second cruise and we will be celebrating out 10th Anniversary on this cruise. Myself, my wife and our 8 year old daughter are in a Crown Loft Suite, My sister in law and mother in law, and 2 other families that we are friends. 11 People total with 3 kids all 8 years old. Since we have the grandma on board so looks like we might have some good child care options for the kids! (not sure if grandma knows that yet though lol)
     
    We are flying out of Newark, NJ the day before into Orlando and staying at a hotel near the port. We used to live in Florida so we are very familiar with the areas. I only care about 1 thing at the port, I needs me a Cuban Sandwich. You just can’t get good Cuban food in Jersey.
     
    We put in a bid to Royal Up to a 2 bedroom aqua theater suite, that would catapult us into Star Class but I’m not going to get my hopes up too much on that! (but a guy can wish right?)
     
    Things I am most excited for to:
    ·         The 10 year celebration! We are planning to do a vow renewal. I wish some of my family was able to attend but it just wasn’t in the cards. My sister in law is going to host the service and it looks like we will be having it in our suite.
     
    ·         The overwater cabana! We booked an overwater cabana for our Perfect Day at Coco Cay. It looks like we will be one of the first to get to experience this. Expect lots of pictures! (They are supposed to be opening these up on Jan 31st and we are there Feb second… hope it’s ready in time!!)
     
    ·         Sailing with friends and family! This is going to be great. We should get lots of “adult time” with other people. Our last cruise was just the 3 of us on a Disney Cruise. It was our best family vacation ever but it’s going to be great to experience a cruise with friends on board.
     
    ·         The “suite life”! We were ruined years ago when we upgraded to a concierge experience on one of our vacations, now we can only travel like this. We take full advantage of the perks and it really does add to our enjoyment.
     
    I am an extreme over planner. Vacations are my jam. I have a bunch of activities already planned out. To make sure we see as much as possible I have been working on a scavenger hunt that will send us out in teams to take pictures of stuff and activities around the ship. I am very excited about this.
     
    So what are some must see things for Harmony? Let’s hear them!
     
    Now I just need to finish my vows…
    Here's the invite my wife made to send to everyone traveling with us.

    Well I am planning on posting pics from the cabana on Feb 1st. I am considering doing a semi live blog. So make sure you check that sub forum on the 1st.

    We were there Sunday on Mariner. Tough to see much from the island, but definitely seems to be a lot of work going on behind the scrims. They were actively working on the beach right in front of the Snack Shack. I couldn’t help but think to myself that it seemed impossible for it to be complete in less than three weeks. Then again, what do I know! I’m sure Royal will do all they can to make it happen, there’s too much money to lose and guests to disappoint. 
    Hard to see much, but here’s a pic from the Sky Pad on Sunday evening as we were about to leave.

    Bid just below fair on a 2 bedroom aquatheater suite on our 7 day harmony sailing in 17 days. 1450 total.  Currently in a crown loft suite. 
     
    It would boost us to star class and the cost would almost be neutral when you take out the drink packages. The other perks would make up the difference 10 fold.
     
    It's a long shot but would be an amazing 10 year anniversary upgrade!

    I have an over the water cabana reserved  for 2/15/2020.  I keep watching for photos or blogs showing the brand new cabanas.  Nothing is out!!   I also am worried that The over the water cabanas wont be ready, or Coco Beach Club for that matter.  I am  hopeful that we are not let down because we are so looking forward to this.

    I suffer from chronic insomnia. Doc cleared me for a few meds. I have to take those with over the counter stuff. 
     
    Sometimes just nothing works and you just have to make it through the day. I cant nap regardless of how tired I am either.
