We're sailing Symphony for 2 weeks starting September 19...fingers crossed.

What I've heard works pretty well is to make sure your shy kid attends AO at the outset of the first day so that they're on equal footing in regards to meeting all the other new kids. I think it would be more difficult if they show up after all the other kids have already broken the ice the day before. Good Luck. 🙂

It would be interesting to know if there are any published case studies on P&L analysis of operating a cruise ship...not something I ran into during MBA school years ago.

Prayers and good vibes sent your way! 🙂

We're sailing a B2B in late September/early October on Symphony...our cruise planner is offering discounts on almost everything (shore excursions, Coco Beach Club, onboard dining, etc.). Needless to say, I've saved several hundred bucks just cancelling and rebooking like a madman! What a fun day! 🙂

Never tried Rumple, but during my college nights we would drink Bud Light chased down with shots of Peppermint Schnapps...thank goodness social media wasn't around back in the 80s! 🙂

More fun in Wonderland!

Likely some sort of force majeure clause would kick in given the uncontrollable aspect of the virus crisis perhaps?

The cruise industry will be fine no matter the length of the delay. There are MANY private equity firms with billions in cash waiting to capitalize on opportunities everywhere. While the big players may encounter cash flow hurdles requiring additional debt and/or equity financing to shore up capital needs, the industry itself is quite viable.

We love the Solarium Bar on Symphony.

We've only sailed on Symphony of the Seas as well, and no doubt all the Oasis class ships are terrific. I think it really comes down to the Ports of Call and the shows in terms of which ship to choose from.

Fun in Wonderland!

That stone tile floor is amazing.

Our take on an Old Fashioned we call a "Bold Fashioned"...3oz of Willet bourbon is why it's "bold"! 🙂
