  1. They can limit the $$ spend per day on each seapass you select - just go to guest services. We have done this for our Grandkids.
  2. I got it on the Oasis for my older Grandson. There are 10 punches on the card. If you do the math, it made each specialty coffee about half price. It was a good deal for him as he only had the soda package.
  3. You can get specialty coffees at Café Promenade and Park Café. If you have the deluxe drink package or the refreshment package they are included. You can get the coffee card (10 coffees) if you don't have the a package.
  4. What I did on the Oasis was got the refreshment package for me and the soda package for my Granddaughter. With the refreshment package I was able to get all the specialty coffees that I wanted, all the bottle water that I wanted, soda, and several frozen N/A drinks. I did get the refreshment package on sale at $18/day so it was a win-win situation for us.
  5. We did the all photo package on the Oasis in 2017. We took advantage of all the photo opts and especially on formal nights as we had all the family together and did family pictures. We got 150+ digital pictures. Well worth the money spent. We don't get it every time but I wanted updated family pics and was not disappointed.
  6. We were on the Radiance in July 2018 for Alaska Cruise. We loved the ship. The only problem we had, was that the mattress was terrible! This is the only time in all our cruising that we had mattress issues.
  7. I flew in from Punta Cana, Dominican Republic to Atlanta airport and had to go thru customs before continuing to my connecting flight. I think the only port in Florida that uses the Mobile Passport in Port Everglades.
  8. I used my Mobile Passport app for the first time on Saturday when we arrived into Atlanta from Punta Cana. The line was crazy long and we got into the Mobile Passport line and in less than 10 minutes we were done! We would have been at least an hour in the regular line and probably would have missed our connecting flight.
  9. I am so excited about it! We booked a Collette trip (thru my AAA travel agent). The trip includes airfare and they even pick us up at home to take us to the airport and take us back home. Even night we go on the Northern Lights hunt!!
  10. I hope you have a good outcome on your hubby's health. Mine had what they call a widow-maker so to say that we were extremely lucky doesn't even touch it. We haven't retired yet so we can only fit so many trips in right now. We have a 5-6 years more to go; however, we need to do more now while we have more income.
  11. I remember all too well on having a daughter getting married and draining the checking account. Try to plan ahead to avoid the last minute stuff as I think the last three days before the wedding were the most stressful for us.
  12. Since my hubby had a heart attack this past June (4 weeks before our Alaska Bucket List Cruise/Land Tour), we have decided to vacay a little sooner rather than later (having went thru that changes your prospective to things). Here are ours: February 2-9 2019: Hard Rock All Inclusive Punta Cana July 13-20 2019: Condo in Orange Beach (with Family) November 17-24 2019: NCL Cruise out of New Orleans (with Family) Jan 30 thru Feb 6 2020: Magical Northern Lights Tour in Iceland (another Bucket List Item)
  13. Sweet savings! We will be on NCL in November and their UBP is $99/day or the Beer & Wine Package is $65/day. We are port intensive and will have the Grands with us so decided to just pay as we go.
  14. I have a NCL cruise booked for November and I thought the same thing. My NCL cruise summary is easy to use and has everything there. RCL should go check out "the Other Guys!"
  15. We put our phones in airplane mode and used the WiFi calling feature to make calls home. Make sure you have that. I tried it on our WiFi at home before we left to make sure that it worked. I have an iPhone if that makes any difference as I am not sure about the others.
  16. We did the Northbound in July with a balcony and I was out there every chance I got. Also, having land on both sides for most of the trip, we have our normal AT&T cell service (actually it was better cell reception than home)! Only one time did we have to put our phones into airplane mode and use WiFi calling (if needed). The way I look at it, Alaska views are why we went in the first place so then a balcony was just part of the trip. We used FaceTime to show our Grands the view from our balcony many times throughout our cruise.
  17. We did the Northbound Radiance and 3 night cruise tour at the end and we did Denali. The cruise tour thru Royal Caribbean was awesome. It was a perfect ending to a perfect Bucket List vacation. They have longer cruise tours if you can stay longer.
  18. This is good to know. I am hopeful that as the time gets a little closer, we can get the airfare a little cheaper. I think they know that the cruise people want the noon and early afternoon so they charge more.
  19. I am starting to look at my flights for my cruise in November. The airport is about 28 minutes from the terminal. The Sunday flights for noon and later are really jacked up (Delta). If we have a private shuttle to pick us up, what would be the earliest flight before noon (if that is even going to be an option). We have to be back for work on Monday.
  20. We had to get a mattress topper on the Radiance; however, it was a quilted type which was NOT soft at all. Our Cabin steward said that was all they had. The mattress was the only thing we had to complain about on our Alaska cruise.
  21. We were on the Oasis in July 2017 and the pizza wasn't bad. It was used by our family of 9 as snacks usually after dinner as we had early seating. I personally did not eat any of it; however, with 5 kids and a couple of husbands - there were no complaints!
  22. We took ours on the Oasis in 2017. We couldn't fly it on the ship but we used it in Labadee. We got some good pictures of all of our gang in the water with the ship in the background. Ours is small and can be palm landed. Hubby palm landed it but forgot to tell the drone is was a palm landing and he cut his finger. The staff got him fixed up with band-aid.
  23. Absolutely! On our Oasis cruise in 2017, our 2 youngest Grands made our first ever door sign out of construction paper and I loved how it made finding our door so much easier. We are cruising out of New Orleans in November with the Grands and can't wait to start using it.
