Shout out to my wonderful, persistent, patient and awesome MEI travel agent Sharla.   She was able to move our booking for 4 from 2 jr suites to a 2 bedroom grand suite for Ovation 8/27!    So excited.   It is slightly more than the cost of the same suite for 2022 BUT we get to go in 2021!   So excited!     Thanks Sharla!!!

I am booked on Ovation Aug 27th out of Seattle?

It's amazing that on such a big ship...it can really be so small at the two of you would be seated together.

Last port stop was Labadee.  It was a normal beach day, beautiful day with no rain. Hubs and lil guy did the aqua park and we somehow managed to miss the bbq.  I was waiting for them to finish the aqua park.  We walked over at 2pm and everything was gone already.  We stayed in the Columbus Cove area.
Since we’ve personally last been there, they added beach swings and some more cabanas.
 

They were in the Table right next to us in the MDR!!! ☺️

Getting off the ship was a breeze this morning until we got outside to the rideshare area. The porter took us to the wrong place and when our ride came, the cop threatened to give him a ticket if he stopped.
We were routed to the right area and ended up canceling our first Uber because he never came back for us.
We got a new driver after what seemed like forever and we are now enjoying our stay at Margaritaville in Hollywood.  The fish is in the water already.
 

We said our goodbyes to our waiters and enjoyed one last night time stroll through Central Park and our last sunset before disembarking. ?
 

On Allure, the lollipop was present on the 50th birthday cake, unlike Navigator.

I forgot our formal night the evening of Puerto Rico, day 5. Lobster was good and in one of the pics you can even catch a slight glimpse of @CruisingKat(Kathy). ☺️
 

Oh my goodness...what were the odds of that.  Here we were talking and I didn’t know.  We enjoyed talking to you and the family!!! ❤️

Hey again, you were sitting right near us in the Main Dining Room!!! ☺️

Keep an eye out for @CruisingKat(Kathy) she is also on board Allure this cruise (she co-runs the RC Periscopers Group).

i think if you scroll up to the terminal pictures @CruisingKat(Kathy) is there somewhere.
 
@IslandBoundMama fantastic blogging so far, that's made my Monday morning better. catching up over your weekend posts has me excited for the week ahead!

Good grief, there's a whole post on "how to"; I should have gone there first, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!!

You might also want to check out the list under "the Periscope Peeps" section here that @CruisingKat(Kathy) posts every month of those who will be planning to scope.  She has all their handles listed and you can find people to follow that way if you are interested in their ship or itinerary.
https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/boards/index.php?/forum/10-periscope-peeps/
There is also a RCPeriscopers FB page that you might want to join as many of those who scope are on there.  The monthly list is also posted there.
Also, keep in mind that not all the people who frequent the message boards are on Periscope.  And some are on Periscope but just watch and don't scope.  
It's a complex community but a great one.  Took me a while to figure it all out too.

Best bet is to get something magnetic or buy magnet tape to attach other decorations.  Do NOT use the gel type window stickers, they stain the doors.
One of our members makes custom magnets.  @CruisingKat(Kathy) she can make personalized magnets for each door.  
I posted pictures here once of some of my recent doors, let me see if I can find the thread and I'll tag you.  It was a while ago, so may not be easy to find.  We usually use the custom magnet, then ship themed cut outs and decor from Amazon.

Most doors are metal, so anything with a magnet will stick to it. I have a roll of magnet tape that I use, I just cut it to fit whatever I am putting up. I have some things I purchased from Amazon, some from a teacher site, and some from the local party store. 
You can also purchase a custom designed magnet.  Mine come from @CruisingKat(Kathy).  There are others you can find on Etsy as well.  
There are no real rules...but do NOT use the gel type window decals.  They leave a colored stain on the doors.

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.

@CruisingKat(Kathy)...My vote is for @TheHobbys (John) for POTW!!  Just sayin' ?
Thank you John for a fantastic blog and scopes.  I thoroughly enjoyed checking in each day to see what you guys were up to.  Looks like you had a great time.  I have to ask...which do you prefer...Star Class Q class or Star Class O class?
