I am a Navy Veteran, THIS GIRL, knows how to Pack!! And yes I am traveling heavy!!!! I like Choices!!! lol!!! We are leaving at 6:30am in the morning, when my husband gets off his graveyard shift job, so I will be doing all the driving. It's about five hours. We should get to Ft Lauderdale, between 12:00-12:30 We are staying at the Hyatt 17th St. convention hotel, I will actually start Pericoping tomorrow night, I am meeting friends that we are cruising with us, at Duffys, in Fort Lauderdale. Here is Link to follow me on Periscope https://www.periscope.tv/cruisingkat Thank You all for Following along here, and on Periscope. 😊
  3. I know exactly which apartments you are talking about, because I lived in them last year. I don't know what they were called when you lived there, but the name of them is villages of BayMeadows. We only stayed there a year, because I did not like the management, or my neighbor, across the hall. I now live in a very nice townhouse, in a community called Aqua.
  4. $32.00 is too much for a men's haircut, in my opinion I told him that that is what he's going to have to do, is get a haircut before he goes to work Friday night.
  5. In Aprox, 2 Days, 16 Hours, will be Sailing Away from Port Everglades, on Allure of the Seas!!!!
  6. We Live on the Southside of Jacksonville. Condo off Southside Service Rd, near Baymeadows. I am about 5 mins, from Avenues Mall. 😉
  7. I am going on Allure of the Seas, in 3 Days. Hubby works Graveyard Shift, and will be getting off Satuday morning. I don't want to try and Find a Barber, Sat Night before the Cruise. Can anyone give me a idea about how much a Men's Haircut will Run on the Ship? Thank You in Advance. Kathy

  10. Hello all My Name is Kathy I am going to attempt to do my First ever live Blog here, so bare with me. 😬 I am very Excited to be going on a Oasis Class Ship, for the very First time. Little Cruising history. This will be my 6th Cruise, and my 3rd on a Royal Caribbean Ship.(Only a C&A Gold Member) It was 2007 the last time I took a Royal Caribbean Cruise. I tried out a few other Cruise lines, between then, and now, and they were just ok. When my Husband and I started looking at Cruise's for this year, I knew, it HAD to be Royal Caribbean, or nothing. My Husband is retired Army, and runs a message Military Travel Board. Every other year the Members get together, for a Cruise. We are hosts for this Space Available Travel Group. We have 8 other members in our Group. Along with doing the live Blog here, I will also be Periscoping (Live Streaming Video) from the Ship. My Periscope name is CruisingKat Https://www.periscope.tv/cruisingkat Here is the info on Periscope if you want to see what it is. https://www.periscope.tv/#share I look forward to sharing my Adventure with you here, with the Live Blog, and on Periscope
  11. Thank You Very Much. I am SO EXCITED!!!! Got a Confirmation from Port Everyglades Hi Cam, they got my Wave request. So I will proudly be representing this Awesome site, with my Sign 😊 I will also have a lot of fun sharing my Cruise with others, with Periscope. And we have a Great Roll Call Group, looking forward to meeting all of them!!!
  12. Hello Sue Thank you so much!!! Yes I am a very high spirt person, especially with Cruising!!! My DH husband is the Same way as yours. I have done so much planning with this Cruise. I i'm not the most crafty person in the world, but I do like creating things to show my enthusiasm!!! This is a Sign I have made for our Cabin Door. It was a plain chalkboard frame at the start of it. I painted the frame, and hot glued Sandollar's around the edge, that's blue aqua sand the bottom, and fun with cruising stickers, and puffy letters. Our CC roll call group is very active, and pumped. I think we have over 100 members attending the meet and mingle. We have scheduled two events as well, a cabin crawl, and a slot pull. We Also have a very active Facebook Group, made up of Mostly CC members, and other Facebook users. We will all be wearing Mardi Gras beads on embarkation day, to find each other in the terminal, to come up to each other, and say hi. I will do my best to periscope anything and everything. I want to be able to share my experience, and make it fun for people watching along. I will also be writing on a live review on the blog, and CC. I am doing the same thing as you, watching everybody's periscopes to get me through, until it's my turn to cruise!!!! Will you be Pericoping from your cruise? Look forward to hearing about yours as well.
  13. Are you talking about his Blog Insider Sign? lol!!! That is a great Sign too though!!!! I thought about holding a sign from sail away. I was like, who do I want to say hi to, when Port Everglades cam Zooms in? Obviously, it's the community of the wonderful fellow Cruisers, and best place to get RCI Cruise Information!!! 😎⚓ï¸ðŸ›³
  14. Thank You, WAAAYTOOO.I don't think I have ever been this excited on my past Cruises!!! Don't get me wrong, I was excited to go on the cruises, just not THIS excited!! I think the main driving force, behind this level of excitement, is becoming a member, on the Blog site. Finding out more information that I have ever known about Cruising. Making new Friends, on the Rc Blog, as well as My fellow Cruisers on the same Cruise as myself. Being able to Periscope my Cruise, and share the Experience with other Cruising enthusiasts!!!
  15. Hi Matt and All. Here is the Sign I made for my upcoming Cruise. It took me a little bit to put it together, to get the Spacing right. I know I could've had a sign printed out from Vista print.com, but I am a do-it-yourself kind of gal. I have Sent Port Everglades Wave Hi Cam, a messege, to when, and where, I will be located, when Allure pulls out, so they can Zoom In. (10th Deck Balcony Cabin, Port Side) Thank You Billy, for helping locate right area to send messege to. 19 Days to Go!!!!!! Come on May 15th!!!!
  16. Ya, that is the other Factor. I also use a CPAP to sleep with. If I decide to bring my pillow I have bag I can carry it in.
  17. Thank you very much everyone for your input. I have neck issues sometimes, and develop Migranes from the neck stiffness. So wanted to make sure, from other Cruisers RC pillows were comfy.
  18. Enchantment of the Seas was also my First Cruise!!! I think what I enjoy most, is being able to go on the ship, and not have to worry, or stress, about normal things you would bring on Vacation. Where are we going to stay, what are we going to eat, what are we going to do for Fun? It's all on the Ship!!! All of the staff on the ship, does a wonderful job, to go above and beyond, to make you feel very pampered!!! Royal Caribbean is my Favorire Cruise line. I did try a few other lines, in between my last cruise with Royal Caribbean in 2007, and my upcoming cruise on May 15th 2016, on Allure OTS. I can pretty much say, from this point forward, I will only want to go on Royal Caribbean ships.
  19. OK, so I saw the thread talking about the mattress on a Royal Caribbean ship, that got me thinking. How are the Pillows on the Rc Ships? I sleep with a memory foam Pillow. I am trying to figure out if I should bring my pillow or I should be OK using Royal Caribbean's pillows? We are already up to Three suitcases and a garment bag. I have a fairly decent sized clear bag that I could put my pillows in, but I'm just trying to decide if I should bring it, or leave it at home. Torn 🤔
  20. Update: so I spoke with a representative from Royal Caribbean's cruise planner. They said, because I prepaid the Voom Internet package, when it was just ONE package, I Will be able to do all things, including stream video!! I prepaid because, it was buy one device, get the second device half off. When there was just ONE Voom package, so I could stream for Periscope.
  21. It has been quite a of years, since my last Royal Caribbean Cruise, 2007 to be exact. I don't remember what we tipped the porters that helped us with our bags last time. Can someone give me an idea, what I'm expected to tip the porters? I want to make sure to treat them right, and to have that amount ready. Thank you, in advance.
  22. I am a little bit upset, 😡 because I prepaid for Voom on my Cruise for Allure OTS, on 5-15-16 BEFORE there was two different plans. So what does that mean for me? I want to make sure, I don't get jipped on not having the Voom Surf + Stream, because I plan on Periscoping. Of Course when I called Royal Caribbean, the girl had no clue that there was two different Internet packages, so I'm gonna have to wait, and call back tomorrow, when the office I need to speak with are open. In cruise planner, so they can look at my reservation see what I bought. 😡
