My 6 year old son, who was 5 at the time, wears a little captain's hat around the ship - and him meeting the actual Captain. Man, it was like meeting the REAL Santa Claus.

Navigator four night in February earlier this year, just before everything started going haywire!  Booked a GTY balcony with DX bev on a whim and stayed on the SW side of Florida with some family for a couple nights on either side of the trip, was a very easy drive over to Miami.  As many others have mentioned, so impressed with the brand new upgrades on Navigator and at CocoCay - it was all just so great, especially enjoyed the escape room (set the best time on our cruise but who knows, maybe they say that to everybody) and the schooner bar, best memory probably the last sea day where patience paid off in getting a casita on the upper deck hanging there most of the afternoon and then won big in the casino that night.  Just perfect.  Reaffirmed my love for the voyager class, for me and what I like to do it's just the right size of ship, hope to try Freedom or Indy someday soon as well.....

The last cruise I took was a quick 4 night on Brilliance with my youngest son on January 30th. We homeschool and took the cruise to see the Mayan ruins at San Gervasio (I wasn’t comfortable heading to the mainland without my husband with us). We had the best field trip ever. The other highlight of the cruise was our assistant waiter, Mauro. He did magic tricks each night and took care of my son like his own. He was awesome! 
 
 

My fave memory from my last cruise was also from the Royal Caribbean Blog NYE cruise on Freedom -- the Sunset Catamaran excursion.  It was just our entire group on the short sailing but it was such a fun time!

That is hard for me.  It is a tie.
Coco Cay Cabana and Chef's table....oh maybe I should add the 70s party....oh, but was that better than Quest?  Okay, let's just go with my favorite memory of my last cruise was walking onto the ship so I could have all those memories!
What is easy for me to say, is my biggest negative memory, not because of RCL, but because of crazy passengers.  We loved doing the trivia in Schooners.  It was fun and let's be honest, what did you win... a key chain you never used or a highlighter?  On our last 2 cruises people were acting like they were going to win a million dollars and pulling out their phones to google/bing the question.  They lost site of the fact that is suppose to be fun and laugh at the crazy answers thrown out when they ask for people to scream out the answer before they gave the correct answer, instead it was I have to win!  We stopped going by day 3 of our 10 day cruise.
Back on topic.

Just as well. Those are really nice and would have disappeared quickly if you were in a highly visible area.

Other than the "big move" we don't have anything but cruises planned.  Believe it or not, Dan has never gone to Disney World.  He grew up in SoCal so he's been to Disneyland a brazillion times but never WDW.  We may sneak up to Orlando once we get settled if the parks are open and we can fit it in between cruises !!
We have 21 cruises on the books from Nov 2020 through April 2022.  I hold out very little hope that our 4 in 2020 (2 in NOV and 2 in DEC) will actually sail, but they're still on the books and I received cruise docs for my B2B on NAV Nov 6-13.  Most of these are B2B with 1 B3B (Jan 2022 on Oasis).  1 casino comp to Alaska (our first time to AK !!!!) and the big AUS/NZ/HI/? trip in March and April of 22.

6 Booked...  and it's not enough!!  ?

Was our second annual birthday cruise in January and we decided to decorate for others. Unfortunately we were in an end cabin and almost no one saw it. We will be back and bring it and others to change it up daily for the amusement of others.

The memory that brings me to tears with joy is my daughter enjoying our balcony on the Harmony November 2019. No electronics, my mini me! (and yes we had the VOOM!!) Hair up, just sunscreen enjoying the sound of the ocean, pure joy!
My second picture is the "POLE" in the cabin @WAAAYTOOO warned me about, how I hated that darn pole. (yes face first into it late at night) While I have zero fond memories of that pole I sure miss it, I would love to visit her again, just saying ?
Loved the Harmony for Thanksgiving, the happiness was palatable. Our entire week was a true wonderful family event, we miss sailing together....sailing takes me away to where I want to be!!! LET. US. SAIL!!!

Have to include two because it's a complete toss up. Freedom Southern Caribbean June 2019 (SO long ago!)
1) Experiencing sunrise on deck every morning with our 1.5 year old grandson (his first cruise). I had done the same thing with his sister on her first cruise at 11 months and it's a really special time. Sunrises are beautiful but nothing compared to sharing the wonder with a young one.
2) Eagle Beach in Aruba with our 3.5 year old granddaughter. Expected a timid response to the crashing waves (as reported about a previous trip to Myrtle Beach with her parents and other grandparents). It took about 2 minutes before she wanted to "go out more, Gramps" - into water over my waist and waves cresting over my shoulders. The feeling of having one so vulnerable trust you so completely is priceless.

My favorite memory was shocking Mr. SpeedNoodles when we were on an ATV tour in Puerto Rico last February on our Symphony sailing - It was only the 2nd time I'd ever driven an ATV (the first time being the day before, mostly on paved roads), and the mud was up to a foot deep in places.  He didn't think I"d even try to go through some of the big puddles or mud, but I just dove into them the entire time and never got stuck - he was shocked!  It's not easy to shock your husband after 26 years of marriage!

April, 2019, visiting Nacional Beach Club in Mahahual, Mexico. We had the best time there. Great staff, great food and even greater drinks.

Since our last cruise was our first the entire cruise was memorable. We were onboard the Allure with an ocean balcony. Pretty much the entire cruise exceeded our expectations. Just hoping things will be better for our May 2021 cruise on SOS. 

Lots of people are ready to get out and relax.  Seeing many people booking all inclusive and land vacations with a backup as a cruise vacation just in case they start back. We are all ready to vacation!

Seeing so many memory posts from many groups that cruised in September over the past years and thinking back to my last cruise.....
My favorite memory from my last cruise was spending New Years Eve with the Royal Caribbean blog group- who knew 2020 would be like this!
What do you think back on to that last cruise you were on?

It's 2020  ....

I’m just thankful NE Florida has been spared......so far. I feel so badly for the gulf coast. They’ve really taken a beating. 
Makes me so nervous for my October Odyssey next year in the Mediterranean. Not for storms there but a storm heading for our town. I live on a farm and my farm sitter would have to deal with battening down the hatches or the very worst, evacuating my horses. 
Hopefully since we’re so active this year, next year will be mild. 

Last Cruise was last September on Anthem to Bermuda (5 day). The Bermuda 2 days was shortened to one due to Jerry, which is hysterical because my wife and a few of her friends have an inside joke and call each other Jerry.
A bunch of friends came along (invited themselves) and having them join us was the single best memory because the shenanigans that occurred all week long (even the stuff that annoyed me) wouldn't have happened without them. It just wouldn't have been as fun. I'd give anything to be annoyed at my friends right now. ?

Visiting Chichen Itza on our Harmony cruise in February
Always been on my bucket list and despite a long traveling day , it was just incredible!

We did Mariner back last October. It was a spontaneous/last minute “let’s cruise” decision. We’re 2 hours to PC so we did a GTY balcony and ended up with an aft balcony. 

It also was the first cruise we’d taken “alone” since 1998! It was our first Diamond cruise, first on Mariner, first time to the new Perfect Day, first time taking only a roll on bag and our first booked with @Sharla
It was a cruise of many firsts! ❤️
