Im just waiting to see if my Royal Up bid was accepted, or not. Im 46 days out....have everything done, even my shopping......it SUCKS. lol

I was always taught that your tipping SHOULD be anonymous/private. I hide my check from obvious view as im filling it out at restaurants, If im slipping cash to someone, i fold it up and do it as inconspicuous at possible, and its never a topic of conversation. The tip and giving has little (to nothing) to do with me.....its appreciation of what THEY have done. Talking about money, almost always, is tacky.....also....Matthew 6:4 and all.....

So relatable! In the past right thru the last few weeks I was checking to see if my Royal up was accepted or if my GTY cabin was assigned. I  have neither of those things happening so really I open the Planner... and that's it. Nothing to "do"!
My husband wanted to wait to take his reward cruise in December and I told him I couldn't take it, we had to go sooner!
 
 

I'm at that point now. Booked the cruise last April. Only have the final payment to go. Waiting to the last moment in case prices drop again. Hotel and plane reservations booked along with excursions. Not much left to do but wait 7 1/2 more months!

More is better....2 interior rooms 

It is actually worse because of this blog. I log on almost every day and I get more and more jealous as people live blog their cruises. I feel trapped in a cycle of when is it my turn.

You ever reach that point where you feel like youve researched all you can, youve set up all your excursions, youve filled out all there is to fill out.....and youre just WAITING. Its agony, and I just want my embarkation day to GET HERE. What do yall do to deal with the agony, the torture, the slow death of WAITING?

Book more cruises.

I had to look it up. But I agree.

I don't accept having to make this choice, lol.

Yeah, this^^^^^^^^

Funny, related, story : Went to Mellow Mushroom last weekend with my family...my son wanted a straw, and they brought paper straws out......that I had to put through a PLASTIC lid.
  
Id opt for the stainless straws.  With two boys, we use straws all the time and have found we prefer the stainless steel ones to the silicone ones....but im sure its personal preference. We got some at Walmart with a cleaner for less than 5 bucks.  

Does RC have logo'd ones that can be delivered to your cabin? Just saying. When life gives you lemons. ?

More is better....2 interior rooms 

inside room for 2 of course....seeing as 12/14 cruises have been inside rooms(other 2 were ocenview)  I have no issues with it either way...and balcony's usually are triple the cost of the inside rooms on cruises I have done..so its  a no brainer...

...and Dad's. I am married with 2 boys. I do all the cooking for my family, as my wife is a Nurse and doesn't get home till later than us. I am looking forward to doughnuts, bagels, fruit and COFFEE delivered to my room EVERY MORNING, no meal prep (i cook my personal meals for the entire week) on Sunday,  and no nightly dinners for the family, followed by the DISHES! Its the small things...ill worry about being back to Mr. Mom post cruise.
