But, that means you're missing out on HANDS DOWN the greatest Disney princess of all time! Sure it's retroactive, but it still counts! 🤣

That last cruise I went on was on Adventure. At the time, she was part of the largest class of cruise ships in the world. My next cruise this summer is on Oasis. 😁👍

That was my situation. Surf & Stream for my booking bottomed out at $15.99 a day over Black Friday weekend. The Key was being offered for $19.99. As an Emerald member cruising on an Oasis class ship with two wonderful but not always so patient kids (one of whom is 5, so I don't have to pay for The Key for him), it was a no-brainer for me, but the stars really did align in this case.

Okay, sorry to go a bit OT here, but I just have to throw this out there. Want to know why I follow this board obsessively and pretty well ignore other cruise forums? This thread right here. This conversations could have gone SO many different ways (none of them good!), but instead we got questions probing for more information, relevant information and a potential solution versus arguments and "side-taking." Turns out there ARE still some little nice corners of the internet. ***Puts soapbox away.*** Thank you for your time.

I spent a day at Iberostar Cozumel many years ago. I was staying at the Iberostar Tucan in Playa del Carmen, and they had exchange privileges. The beach and pool were very nice, and the staff was fantastic. The food was very good as well. It was significantly smaller than the resorts in Playa, but not at all crowded. Of course, it's been so long since I've been there that Wifi wasn't even a thing yet, so take this information with a grain of salt. Personally, based on all of the positive reviews from people I trust on this website, if I were to go back to Cozumel I'd probably go to Nachi, but I enjoyed my time at Iberostar, am a big fan of the Iberostar brand and have stayed at many of their properties.

That's because you appear to be a rational human being capable of empathy and not a... Hmm. Gonna need one of @SpeedNoodles's cookies.

That's because Kansas City isn't in Texas...

100% yes.

Short answer: Respirometry tests (sort of). Long answer, a lot of conjecture and projection...

I was afraid of the bottle breaking in my luggage, but that is an idea. Thank you. I'm glad to hear it has worked for others before. I've also used these with success: https://www.amazon.com/Jet-Bag-Mono-Protective-Absorbent/dp/B07CWWVM2C/ref=sr_1_16?crid=LJ6M604DBJ4J&keywords=wine+check+luggage+bag&qid=1578152872&sprefix=wine+bag+lu%2Caps%2C155&sr=8-16 It's basically a plastic zip bag with a big "diaper" inside. There are some more expensive options out there that are also very good (Wine Wings comes to mind), but for the price, these can't be beat, and I love the inclusion of the absorbent material just in case the worst happens.

Nice vid, thank you for sharing!

This is a realistic expectation, and probably where your cruise will fall. 👍

Excellent point. Also, my guess is that the crew members working their butts off to make sure that we have an amazing vacation might argue against the increase having "zero value."
