She is a beautiful ship! Love the piano steps going to the windjammer

I am a teacher. Our first cruise was during Spring Break. March is spring break month, many schools are all over the map on the specific week. Ours usually includes St. Patrick's Day. Spring is also great weather-wise in the Caribbean, however it may not be for those flying to the pier so there is that. Last year we went in June and lost 1 day because of tropical storms. We were supposed to fly to Florida but Symphony was a day late getting in so we were a day late getting out and we missed CoCoCay. Oh and when we went in March, I got sunburned the last day at sea because I feel asleep next to the chair. When we got home to KS, it was cold and snowy.

Thank you Hubby is grateful too!

some people make life a crisis day after day. I see it in my 7th grade students hour after hour. Everything is SUCHHHH a tragedy and everything is always much worse than it is. I tell my 7th graders to take a big breath and stand up straight and do right!

We love The Pub!

ohhh I remember the late night buffets and the ice carving and fruit carvings. That was an awesome time, however nothing beats the sun, fun and blue blue water!

I would consider myself wealthy if I could cruse 2 times a year~ Heck, I would retire on a ship if I could.

Hubby can not take much direct sunlight for long periods of time. He burns in minutes. Also he is GF so will there be lots to eat? I want to go sooooo bad. He does too as long as he doesn't get burnt. Any advice? Thank you

We sailed on Carnival Victory once when our daughter was young. We did not have a bad experience, we had just done RCL before so we noticed the difference.

We are Diamond I don't care to do any other vacation-hubby loves Vegas. those years of the pandemic almost killed me waiting!

I also teach 8th grade and 7th grade ( can teach 5-12 -love HS)

We are Loyal to Royal. Here is why: back in 06 or 07 we had a cruise planned. We always plan a year in advance, this time we had our daughter's friend with us as well. We live in Kansas and usually have to take 2 flights to get to Florida. Well, we get to the airport well in advance of our time and our first flight to St. Louis was canceled. They put us on a Greyhound bus for Dallas and it broke down 10 times on the interstate. Needless to say, we missed our flight and the sail away of our ship. GRRRR. RCL got us to Miami, put us up in a hotel, flew us to Jamaica, and got us to the ship. When we finally boarded 2 days late, we get a bottle of champagne and a note apologizing and AND we all got 1/2 of our cruise refunded. 2 adults and 2 teens. It wasn't even RCL's fault!!! We will be forever Loyal to Royal.

we have cruised a lot but are hearing there are more GF options than we ever knew. Johnny Rockets has GF? We know the pizza is great.

We got our room assignment. It is the room we saw using the bar code trick!

but they are not available yet? Our sail date is June 18

Our first cruise ever was Majesty. We took the same ship about 10 years later for memories and it was still as beautiful as the first time.

here is ours

we had one made with our initials in nautical theme and our anniversary. it says cruiseates for life

I have lost 60 lbs since then so the new clothes I never got to wear, I still can't wear. Oh well, guess I get more clothes

There is NO WHERE to buy panties and bras close by. We laughed and said that we should start a shop for all ships featuring under clothes, shampoos and stuff. The ONLY swimsuit on the ship was a M and my bust is a bit bigger than that. It was a full one piece as well. No two pieces and no big busted items I have to buy 2 pieces. XL for the top and size 8 for bottoms. Sigh...

Last year was our first year back cruising after the Pandemic. Cruising is the only vacation I care to do. It had been post poned 2 times because of the pandemic. We are the type that that books and pays a year in advance. We pack in advance and are a little OCD about making sure we have everything we need to have. We get to our airlines 2 hours early even though we are in a tiny airport in ICT. The night before we were supposed to leave, we get a call from RC saying the hurricane is messing things up and we were going to lose a day. SAD but okay. Then an hour later another call from RC they booked us FIRST CLASS on the new airline for the following day. COOL. I wore a sundress with NOTHING under it and crocks. I wanted that first picture to be great. We had so much fun flying first class and drinking Mimosas at 5 in the morning. We fly to Georgia and are so frikin excited and happy. Have another mimosa and talk to some other passengers that were also cruising for the first time since pandemic. We were sad about losing a day but after 3 years we didn't care at all~ Get to Florida and both of hubby's bags come right away. Then my smaller bag comes. and we wait and wait and wait. And wait and wait and wait. I get near the flap where the luggage comes out and hear voices and yell into there I'm missing my bag. Guy yells back says check baggage claim as that was all he had. I go to baggage claim and start the process. I am in there for an hour while they call Georgia. bla bla bla at some point the guy in baggage claim says I should run to walmart to get stuff. I didn't know what was in each bag other than my shoes were in the bigger bag. Meanwhile, RC representatives to drive us to the pier are saying we gotta go.... We make the decision to go on. Have the numbers for luggage info and baggage claim has our ship number and that is about I can do at that point. We get to our state room. Both hubby's bags are there. Now my one and only bag isn't there. I am melting down now. It is really ugly. I went to customer service and GOD bless that lady I pray for her daily! She got me 2 white extra large shirts and a toiletries bag to get me started. The entire cruise she called daily to see if my suitcase came on a plain. (ALWAYS have your DECK TAGS on your luggage) By night time my one suitcase showed up. I realized I had no shoes and no tooth powder (dentures -gotta get them to stay in put) I had 1 formal dress and a swimsuit and socks and undies 3 pair of shorts and shirts so I could get buy. Most nights in the evening I just walked around in socks. 1st nigh tof dinner I had my newly given WHITE tee shirt and hubby's black swim shorts and black crocks to eat dinner in the MDR. I felt so under dressed. Hubby to break the ice told everyone he had been trying to get me out of my panties for years When we were in Plya I found come cool tennis shoes that I wear a lot now so I could have something other than crocks. We had a fantabulious cruize. But I especially want people to know that RC guest services will go over and above what they can when they can. she called me every day with a new status. NOW-I never got my 2nd suitcase until a month after we were home and the suitcase was beat the hell up . I got all my clothes back and all my new makeup I had just bougnt for that cruise. bUT Delta also bought us new luggage. Lesson learned. Wear tennis shoes on plain and split between suitcases . One swimsuit in each suitcase. thanks like that. If it hadn't been for my lady in RC GS I might have pouted the whole cruise.

Texas is not much better but it was closer and cheaper. Last year we had 2 flights. My luggage did not make the 2nd flight and I had no shoes and not many clothes the entire 7 days

I am so looking forward to this show

a friend of ours did a Hawaii cruise. Said there was no casino on the ship?

I hope they put room number on it soon We are the type to pack well in advance and put the luggage tags and all of that on as soon as possible
