Cruisin and Boozin

The ladies have completed our nails.

Well where do I began? Let’s just say we thought all was well not having to worry with pre cruise testing. Turns out that was nothing. Up pops hurricane Ian. Now I have new things to worry about. Looks like over night stay on Thursday will now be changed because we don’t want to be in the path of that bad boy! Just hope driving on Friday in Florida to get to Ft. Lauderdale is clear. Watching James van Fleet very intently.

Happy cruise day! Enjoy the sailing.

Glad your mom is ok!

Watching the storms that are brewing. Safe travels and have an excellent cruise.

Glad you were able to locate it and it wasn’t lost.

Enjoy the cruise! Following along.

Update the genie is out of bottle! We have heard from Smitha and she will be leaving for vacation so we will have genie ……Romina!

Today is 19 days away. Still no email from genie. I had travel agent to contact royal again today they said give it till Thursday and call back if we haven’t heard from the genie. Well I can’t wait so I took it upon myself to reach out to the concierge by email and with in an hour they replied that I soon should hear from a genie. Fingers crossed

Having said that we just want him to be wowed. This will be Renee’s 4th star class cruise and our (hubby and I ) 8th star class sailing. Star class info The star class questionnaire never came. 22 Days till we sail no email from a genie as of yet. I have been in contact with both my travel agent and Royal Caribbean and still nothing has been done. Even though we haven’t heard from a genie we are super excited. None us have been to Aruba or Curaçao so this should be fun.

@Audrey V. yes launch scrubbed.

@TheRick wow is all that I can say. You are a hilarious writer! I was almost on the floor laughing so hard. I do understand the packing situation I really have to watch what my husband packs also. Looking forward to the rest of this cruise blog. Happy cruising.

Oasis class!

Yes it does indeed include everyone in cabin.

Can’t wait to hear who the genie is for your trip! Following along.

Have fun my group gets on the day you all leave also in star class

What’s the age limit? Never checked on this before.

Cozumel they are awful as much as I’m not liking that port.

Enjoy the cruise !
