On an oasis class ship,  I’d be fine with  7 sea days. 

Star class looks simply incredible. I’m sensing some serious grease for Shane at the completion of the sailing.

I pray we don’t have any code crumps next week. Enjoy aqua80!

Chris I’m sure you cannot comment , but I hope to see you in August on icon (though I’m sure your contract will be up before then) bummer! 

I worked today. 

That room is insane. 

1 week till boarding ! Woo hoo! And boarding day today for @Lovetocruise2002 woo hoo!

.  Sure brought back a lot of fun times with her.

I’m glad I could. 

What an excellent and thoroughly written liveblog. I enjoyed reading it. Safe travels! 

The crew is what makes our  cruises what they are, y’all are indispensable. Passengers are a dime a dozen.  

Gotta have room for bourbon purchases. 

You are a beautiful family. You’re a few years ahead of us children age wise. Mine are preteens. So stoked for your Royal loft suite reports. 

Enjoy your spring break !

Looks absolutely incredible! 

Our first couple Royal cruises were in oceanview balcony rooms. We made the mistake of doing a JS on navigator with our kids and the extra room was a god send. After that we were sold on the space of a suite especially when cruising with our children. Now I’m not gonna lie, I absolutely love the suite lounge. #addedbonus

We’re doing mason jar brunch on embarkation day. I’ll get pics there and Giovanni’s. I know you did the GS before, I just like razzing you nonetheless shipmate !! I know I’m small potatoes compared to so many others on here. Shoot we’ve never even done star class. Only started sailing Royal in 2019. So I’m a Johnny come lately relatively speaking Anyway. 

Hootie hoo!! Shipmate @OCSC Mike 

I’ll  do my best to supplement this live blog as well. My wife and I and our two boys will be driving down from SC on Friday and plan to stay in cocoa at the Hilton garden beachfront which we stayed at previously. Gonna hit up fish lips and grills at the port for some meals. This is mine and hers second trip on Wonder. Our littles haven’t sailed her  before. We’re staying in a GS deck 17. We received our concierge email yesterday.
We do like specialty dining and have the package so we’ll do all of the joints aboard. I’ll try to post some pics of the suite lounge and me  hob knobbing with the pins at happy hour and coastal  to make @OCSC Mike ‘s mouth water. 
 

Those club level pics of intercontinental look very nice. I mentioned this hotel to my wife as an option based on y’all’s recs but it appears we have stayed with Hampton inn brickell again. Oh well. 

I am utterly amazed how much people who work full time cruise on here. Y’all have my utmost respect. Especially Canucks who have to travel great distances. I have 3 this year and feel like I must be retired. Y’all are just on another level.  I am not worthy. 

Haven’t been to Falmouth. It seems like the consensus is that it stinks. What say y’all ?

Absolutely true about kids aging and grandchildren arriving!  Since my own children are in their 40’s (heaven only knows where that time went!)…it means the grandchildren are now aging!  My youngest grandson will be 11 in just 5 more weeks and the oldest granddaughter will be driving in a few more months and turns 17 this year!  I feel so blessed to have 3 beautiful adult children (with 3 wonderful spouses) and 5 growing grandchildren which I get to share my life with!  Not to mention my husband of almost 45 years!  We may not be rich in $$$ but being rich with a loving and close-knit family makes my life fully satisfied!

There are so many of you on this board with growing families…grown families…and just starting off families!  Stay present and enjoy each day…one moment at a time.  None of us know the future, however, we do know today!  Thank you for sharing so much of your lives with all of us!

Fantastic post ! On our death beds , it’s not how much money we made or what we did for a living or even where we’ve been. It’s family and legacy.

It’s getting juicy in here. Normally it’s rainbows and butterflies. Love me some Thursday zest.

It kind of is… even I’ve been in one on Wonder before.

Being right by the SL/CK & under the suite sun deck were the highlights for me. Nothing against the nice room with its tub shower & fancy TV that comes out of the ceiling but it was having free drinks, coffee machine, & snacks literally steps from my cabin door that did it for me.

Yup that’s my jam. Being close to SL and sun deck is awesome on Wonder. I’ll send you some pics.   Hahaha 

Royal loft suite ballers! Makes my GS look pedestrian. Enjoy your cruise. @OCSC Mike and I will try to rep his live blog in 11 days. Can’t wait to follow along with yours this week .
