The Grandeur Izumi has hot rocks but does not have hibachi.

Maybe for those 3 "ultimate" nights out of the 7, the waiters juggle fire while delivering food to your table.

I was really contemplating this one. I was torn between it and a cruise to Alaska in May '21. The Alaska cruise won out.
I'll add that to my list, by the way; May 16, 2021: 7-Day Vancouver-Sitka-Hubbard Glacier-Juneau-Ketchikan-Vancouver via Celebrity Eclipse (it still counts -- it's RCCL-adjacent!)

Literally. Love that IT.

Yay! 10 day cruise!

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the 7-day itinerary aboard Eclipse (Sitka, Hubbard Glacier, Juneau, and Ketchikan) round-trip from Vancouver. I'm going to keep an eye on the price of the 9-day cruise, but for now, a 7-day introduction to Alaska works great for me and my budget. To say I'm beyond excited is putting it mildly -- especially because it'll be interesting to experience yet another cruise line and get a unique experience (though I must admit, by the time I take this cruise in May 2021, I'll feel like I'm cheating on RCCL, since I'll have been on two cruises with them by then! 🤫🤭

They heard you are coming..........

Enchantment is a Vision Class, but she stands apart from the others. Some time ago the ship was sent to dry dock for a refurbishment.  During that time the ship was CUT IN HALF.  A new 90' section was added in the middle of the ship.  You will notice on the pool deck a "flying bridge' on both sides of the ship. Inside the Centrum in different than the others.  They also added a Boleros Lounge.  She is a great ship and the one we have sailed on the most.  Do not hesitate to book her!!  Here is a video I made while on board.

The only concession I've made so far to anything but an inside room is thanks to this weekend's sale, the price dropped enough that I was able to switch to a non-refundable deposit for my holiday sailing on Grandeur and upgrade to an ocean-view stateroom. Did I need it? No...but the price is dead-even with what I owe for final payment for this particular cruise. Plus, I was able to get the ocean-view cabin directly across from the inside cabin I'll have on my May cruise on Grandeur. Hey, I'm easily entertained! 🤪

Maybe he's moving for the future NHL team? I might be right behind him the way my Blackhawks are playing lately! 😢

RE: Acadia National Park. I took this picture with my phone there (Cadillac Mountain) last August. That's Adventure in the pond. Your option.

...and I'm okay with it.  🙂 
My wife came home yesterday and said she was looking at short cruises for this fall (we are already booked for two weeks in 2021).  Tonight we emailed our TA to go on a 4-night on Navigator in November.

Up until this happened, I thought I was the cruise monster in the relationship.

That's a great 7 night itinerary.
Congrats!

Wait...you mean there are other things to pass the time besides read this blog, plan more cruises, or book more cruises?? 🤔
