Hi Joe, I ordered these - 4 Pack 30oz Tumbler Carrier Holder,DanziX Neoprene Sleeve Replacement with Carrying Handle Totally 8 Pcs-Black,Rosy,Purple,Blue https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GFDXCML/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_SNHPWM5FFX5N3JHZ9KQG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 - for our Universal Studios reusable cups and they hold well and keep the drink somewhat insulated, it also fits our RC cups no problem. It’s a less expensive alternative for sure. 😊

I just, as in the last 20 minutes, booked a JS on Liberty for Thanksgiving week. It was the same price as a They-Pick Balcony so I jumped on it! This will be our first time in a JS, so I'm excited to see the differences. 

Just received our acceptance from an OV to Spacious Balcony for our weekend getaway January 22 on the Independence. 🎉

My mom says that it doesn’t bother her to be around it, however, I don’t drink around her whatsoever because she’s still very early in recovery and I don’t want to put her in that situation. I hope that I can take her on a cruise one day, and not be concerned. I will say that she used to not be able to fly without some liquid courage and she has now done that numerous times without. Good luck to your SIL, it is a tough process and thank goodness for your support and understanding!

This is actually very common across the community. I've heard it announced in Airports, etc. My mom is in recovery and it's helpful to know that when a craving comes through, as they do at the most random times, she can request support. 

My SIL is recovering and he still cannot be in a situation with that much alcohol.  Maybe one day they will be able to cruise but not right now.

I love this and am so happy that this type of support is available. It cannot be easy to deal with, especially on a cruise where it's everywhere.

I think this also proves the importance of good insurance that covers medical evacuation. I certainly wouldn't take a cruise without it...just like a passport, to me, it's a line item of the trip and if I can't afford it, the trip is out of budget. As a frequent international traveler, there have been a few times that I have had to go to a doctor in various countries, and the cost of my yearly international medical plan has, even after several years of paying the premium, been cheaper than those trips would have been out-of-pocket...and that's not even including any serious medical needs or evac. 

Our first cruise in 2018, my husband, our girls and I all got our passports but my BIL and his two kids did not. He said I don’t need it, which he was lucky not to. But that same trip, a guy on our ship cut his foot on coral while in Castaway Cay and they couldn’t stop the bleeding. We were at sea the day that he needed to be taken by helicopter, in international waters, which he wouldn’t have been able to do without a passport. I will never cruise without one.

1. Get off the ship in Nassau
2. Getting hounded into letting those nice ladies braid both my daughters hair at $2 a braid and they both have my thick Italian hair ??‍♀️
3. Not get the drink package. Our first ever cruise was Disney and I was so stressed about the drink prices. Second was RCL with the drink package and it was so much more relaxed. I’m not a huge drinker, but being able to have the few drinks I do want, and the specialty coffees made it a no brainer. The On the Go drink in the Bamboo Room is fantastic! 
4. Not pay gratuities in advance. Also another stress factor removed. 
 
We rented snorkeling equipment, but thinking of investing. We relocated from CO to FL in June 2020, and I’m thrilled to be close to port, if we ever get back to cruising, seems like it’s been forever and we went on the March 2-6, 2020 Mariner.
