Yay!!
As a former midwestern-er, I love hearing someone say "pop." I've been on the East Coast for 27 years now and have converted to saying soda but still like hearing that.

Yesterday. 🎉 Thanks for remembering.
Mason Jar pics coming later. My wife took over (she has a better phone & takes better photos than I do) so I have to get them from her & I’m too stuffed right now.

it’s always my fault 😆💀
honestly though, i am all for MORE luggage. 
on our most recent trip (non cruise related), i brought TWO suitcases, a rolling carryon AND my personal item/bag that sits on top. 
…i don’t travel light, friends 😂

Wow, there are some really, really nice resort day passes available in Jamaica!!! Maybe I'll send my parents there and then my husband and I will take the teens on a more adventurous tour... Although my husband might lobby to go with my parents.

I’m following your adventures!  I will be boarding Symphony in 58 days with my two grandsons and their mom (my daughter 😊).  We have 2 OV connecting balconies.
I'm looking forward to your ship and food pictures as well as your “off ship fun!”!

Yes... I pulled out all of my cruise stuff plus all of the new Bezos stuff I bought and it almost fills up a full suitcase. I blame @asquared17 😂  A lot is still in packaging so I hope it shrinks down substantially when I unwrap it all. Once I get back in there to reorganize, I'll take pics of it so you can see the madness. 
Went to the bank and got our cruise cash today. Makes it feel really real! 
It looks like Falmouth, Jamaica is our replacement stop for Labadee. What should I do there? Any suggestions? I am definitely a "planner" @WAAAYTOOO so this Labadee situation is throwing me for a loop, to have to pull something together last minute. My husband jokes that I'm the chess player of life - always thinking 5 steps ahead - and he is a checkers player of life, just responding to what's happening in the moment. 
I WISH we were getting PDCC! I've never been...
I am fairly confident they will! I can't imagine not having a good time on a ship like Symphony. (AND I don't have to share a room with them!! LOL)
So many of you just went on or are going on Symphony soon. She honestly seems like the perfect ship to me, except for missing those little Central Park balconies.
We do too, and my parents' room is just down 3 doors (2 rooms between). I hope we don't annoy the people in between us by yelling back and forth from our balconies 😬

Since today is the 19th you can let us know if you had success checking in!  If not…then apparently tonight is the night!  
I am an EastCoaster and I’ve had 2 different check in dates for my May cruise.  It’s either March 31 or April 1.  No biggie to me…I will check the first date and if that one doesn’t happen, oh well, the second date will be just fine!

Leaving on March 23 Symphony of the Seas. No email or announcement yet, but just checked the app. Looks like we are going to Jamaica. Thrilled it’s not another day at sea. I’m guessing Royal Caribbean will be announcing it’s extending the cancellation of Labadee past the 22nd.

I know a guy that can explain it you ya! 😆

Wait util you see a casino booking invoice that has been upgraded !  Those are hysterical....and completely unintelligible.  

We just booked or really I booked a surprise cruise to squeeze another one in for 2025. Every time I see the Royal Caribbean invoice I'm just baffled. 🤣 Who could fully understand what is going on. This isn't an angry post, more comedy. I'm my name 134 bucks off, under my wife's name 852 bucks off, the kids are KSF Even though one is over 12. The kids say 0-17 by the way which I find odd. There there are other minus numbers. I should add up what it would be without those minuses. 
Does anyone understand a Royal Caribbean invoice? 

And ELF though I know you don’t love it like many of us. I’m happy with any ship that has those 2 venues.

No ship is too small when you compare it to the alternative of not being on a ship at all.

Wonder was alone in July 2023 too when we went to PDCC

Breakfast this am. Windjammer special brought back to enjoy on balcony. Food was fine but view was sublime 

Got my first sea day T-shirt ready for action. 
 

Doubly lucky with Labadee cancelled. Some ships who were supposed to be alone now have company later this week from re-routed Labadee itineries.
That said, I was there 3X with Indy/Freedom & it wasn’t bad (neither Oasis class ofc). Hideaway also helps now too.
That said, love being there alone & Wonder is actually alone quite a bit. Scheduling quirk in my favor. We’re alone again twice this summer (as of now).

Freedom and oasis at coco cay today. Man we got lucky with just us in port yesterday. Everything was much more chill. For us, may have been best coco day yet. 

Crisis averted. @GatorCruiser was kind enough to offer to grab my wife some chocolate croissants from the SL but they were out in the CL today.
