I like the idea of using our Yeti cups so that it will stay cold longer than the ones we get in the drink package.  Now we just have to wait 152 days for Harmony and 185 days for Jewel.....not that i am counting or anything 😋

Yes I have gotten water in the suite lounge but the bourbon was better :).

My wife renewed hers did everything at home filled out the paper work mailed it priority and she got her new passport back in 10 days. That was through the Philadelphia office.

This is exactly what we need!  Thanks for the link - I will be ordering this ASAP!

Sharla moved my March Harmony to March Wonder. I still have the same reservation number. Just moved the deposit. Still double points

I believe I may be in the minority here, but we love Cats .... even the abbreviated version.  I believe the real issue is that some folks may have trouble following the story line..... perhaps, if a Playbill was offered as people enter the theatre, providing, perhaps a back story as to what is about to unfold, some folks may be able to follow it a little better, therefore be able to enjoy the show.  In all honesty, Cats is one of the reasons why we booked Oasis out of NJ again this coming September.

So happy to see on the news this morning that Canada is getting rid of pcr test requirement for returning fully vaxxed Canadian travellers at the end of this month.  A rapid antigen test is so much cheaper and faster results for those of us that have booked earlier flights on disembarkation day.  It will be a great stress reliever for me.
 
 

Most ships I’ve been on have a self-serve coffee machine in the Diamond Lounge.  It makes decent lattes and cappuccinos among other coffee drinks. If you’re not coffee “snobs,” you can save your Diamond freebies for bar drinks.

I just remembered that the cruise in September was booked before the double points stopped, so we will get 14 points on that cruise putting us at 86!

Same here!  After our Harmony cruise in July we will be 1 point shy of Diamond.  We will be cruising on the Jewel in August so we will for sure be Diamond after that 12 night double point cruise. 

As far as I know, you can take your eMed tests with you and do it from the cruise ship via VOOM the day before you disembark.  That's what we are planning to do in August for our British Isles cruise.  The tests cannot be mailed to Europe but as you have them delivered to your home before you travel then as long as you have good internet, you can do your testing via the app on your phone.

Thank you ALL soo much for the help.  I used Matts advise. reserved our drinks at $56/day/person AND TODAY, 23 days to go, it dropped to 30%off and I cancelled the order and bought for $52/day/person.
And on a side note, Mary and I will be married on 2/22/22, in Cozumel MX and will be swimming with the dolphins.  We had custom made Life Jackets, hers in white with a veil attached, and mine is black with Tux Tails attached to the back and a bow tie..   Should have some fantastic photos.
Thank you again.
John and Mary

Only bucket lists going forward. Will do Caribbean once a year because you just have to! 
 
Hope to cross off 2 bucket lists this year. Alaska and Holy Land/Greece. 2023 is reserved for Icon and ……..  2024 is either Norwegian Fjords or Baltics. Hubby turns 60 and 35 years of wedded bliss 😍

Harmony is there today!

We have 3 in the works too.  We are headed to Riviera Maya (Unico 2087 Resort) Feb 5-11; Harmony of the Seas in mid-July; and Jewel (British Isles) mid-August.  I just added up our air miles for the above mentioned trips - 12,847 air miles!  I will be researching more trips soon for 2023 (but may have to check for some short getaways for fall 2022)!  We haven't been to Vegas in a few years so.........😉

I did my part and booked another cruise yesterday! Three in my wheelhouse now!! So happy to have some planning to do!

I bought the Beach Club day pass for my November sailing.  Price was cheap enough at $72 and I had never been to Coco Cay so decided to check it out.  I was truly not impressed and would have been pretty upset had I paid anywhere near what the price has been lately!  My upcoming cruise will be spent relaxing at one of the other beaches…eating at included dining venues…and just enjoying the day for no fee!  😊

We did as well, very nice and a great location for the sights.

We stayed at the Marriott and it was so nice.

Happy National "Plan for Vacation" Day   (aka "Book a Cruise Day" for us)   Time to call your travel agent!  

Best laid plans and all that…..
 
We cruise on the 30th.

We had to schedule at the port of Miami tonight because our first choice tests were canceled and ten minutes ago we received emails saying our back up appointments were changed to pcr tests with extended delays for results.   We only have one proctored home test, so that won’t work for both of us. 
$105 each at Port of Miami 
When I scheduled mine there were 17 left in the time slot I chose.  When my wife registered a few minutes later, all at that time were gone and she had to choose the next earlier time. 
 
Moral of the story:  Have a couple back ups to your back up plan. 

We feel the same way!  We get the refreshment package to get bottled water and specialty coffee.  We just order drinks when we want one and we have never paid even close to breaking even for the UBP for one person let alone two people.  

We will be on the Jewel in August for the British Isles!  Now we are trying to decide on excursions (lots (castles) and etc to choose from.
