Strife

Well there goes my vacation, can't even get one every other decade apparently.

This is the worst news I could have gotten. I already got the time off approved, I do not get paid vacations so I am losing out there and I lost out on my trip. I am thinking about just taking the refund and give up on cruising as I do not want to go through getting ready again just to get it canceled.

Thanks, I have some high hops. I made some plans, but mostly plan on going with the flow and just find some fun. If I don't do everything, then I have an excuse to book another cruise in the future.

Jan 23rd Jewel of the Seas, first cruise.

I sent mine off in November, it was accepted on the 22nd and then beginning of December it came in (I think it was the 9th)

Odd, I am on the same sailing and it let me put in a bid weeks ago.

Nice. I wanted to do something there, but the excisions did not sound interesting and overly expensive too. I might take the tram to sight see though likely that is all I'd do.

I have not planed anything on my trip there and was thinking of just doing something on my own. Though renting a scooter sounds interesting. Although a day pass with only a 30 minute limit does not sound like a day pass.

I am still unsure what I would want to wear. I was thinking nice dress pants and a collared polo shirt as I do not have a suit, have no idea how to even find the right size. I might go with a dress shirt with no jacket as for a tie, I don't have one and I have no idea how to put one on so that will be a pass for me.

That was what I saw too, nice to have a connection though I think I'll stick to data/text as calls are expensive.

I was able to put in a bid for my Jan 23 sailing today. I did not bid that much so i suspect I'll not win either the GS or JS I bid on, but at least I tried.

there was something I noticed about the mask requirements It makes me wonder if the N95's I have will not be acceptable because they do not use the ear loop.

That sounds like good advice. My trip is on a 6 night cruise so the 3 night option sounds good. That would give me 3 nights in the specialty places and 3 nights in the MDR. It is currently $89 for the 3 night option, which sounds good to me. Right now I do not know if the Windjammer will be doing dinners on my trip as they do not list dinner hours.

With the sales going on right now I am thinking about doing some sort of specialty dining. I have got the key so I got the special Chops lunch, though I am thinking about getting one of the packages. Either the Chops+ 1 other option or the 3 night package. While the unlimited dining package is not a bad price at the moment there are a lot of options for dining that I am not sure it would be worth spending that much extra. With this being my first cruse I would like a second opinion. Would it be worth going for the 2 option, or 3 night package or something else?

Wow this is sad news I was looking forward to at least trying to win one.
