I really enjoyed the Kummelwick. I had it with horseradish.  I will try it with mustard next time, and I look forward to comparing it with my trip on Allure this summer. 

The Kummelwick sandwich is the best. I love eating it on my balcony looking over the horizon.

Really good to know. The wife and I are very thrilled about our trip coming up. Funny question, but do they by chance have a hot tub to relax in? I haven't noticed any pictures really of the pool deck.

Yes they do on the pool deck.

I've got to do WJ recon in 60 days! Been missing out all these years...it looks delicious ?

WJ is the place to be for desserts.

Might be, if it any good that is a different question.

Please tell me if the red velvet cake was awesome.

OMG!! In December 2016, when we booked our upcoming cruise on Freedom, our district had the 2017-18 calendar out already so that we knew exactly when it was safe to book this cruise and get it done as early as possible. Now we're in the WAVE sale period for 2018-19, and our #&%^#! district still doesn't have the 2018-19 calendar out!! How the hell am I supposed to book my wife's belated 50th birthday cruise to the southern Caribbean on Freedom or Serenade when I don't know which fracking week to book!?!?

I've been watching the district's school calendar practically daily for weeks and they still haven't released it. STOP DRAGGING YOUR FEET YOU LAZY BOARD OF ED MEMBERS! I'VE GOT CRUISES TO PLAN!!! 

I feel the same way. The calendar should be out already for 2018-19.

Is that red velvet cake peeking at me?

The food in the Windjammer is great. The red velvet cheesecake is awesome.

Yeah but that can also work against you.  If I add anymore cruises before October I won't glass block on Symphony,  unless I add 70 / 2 solo = 35 / 7 = five seven night cruises,  or three nine night cruises and one eight night, unless I stay in a suite on a nine night plus three seven night...  the formulas in my tracking spreadsheet look like something from the shuttle program.

"We can either safely re-enter the earth's atmosphere at that velocity or twangster will glass block on Symphony with these bookings"

I have 5 junior suites this year plus a couple of 9 day cruise  and 1 eight day cruise. My husband turns 50 and we must celebrate.

@twangster, you are reading my mind. I know exactly what cruise is going to give me my new block. In fact, I will be getting two in one year. Wow!!!!

Lol! You tell everyone without hesitation that you will have to quit teaching if there is year round schooling....

I taught year round one year. I was able to take advantage of some cruises throughout the year. But when Summer came, I had to work and the days became longer that was it. I went back to a 10 months school year. Life was awesome again.

Woohoo Diamond Plus!!!

Royal Caribbean is my go-to cruise line. They have the best loyalty program.

I feel much better now, I am not alone.  

• When washing your hands you ask yourself if you have reached 50 times yet today
• When the ship IS the destination 
• When a friend asks where you are going and all you know is the ship's name
• When you've memorized your C&A number
• When you talk to your travel agent more than some family
• When your travel agent has you on speed dial

I know my C&A number. It's like my social security number.

Have an awesome cruise. I just got off the Brilliance and have to wait until March for my next cruise. Oh well! I can read about your cruise. Woohoo!!! Love your blogs.

When you get the new school year holiday calendar and you compare it to Royal schedule. You look at every three weekend to book a cruise. You refused to work Summer school, so you can take cruises.

Was his name Bill?   I met a guy that cruises like that.  Saw him on Oasis and Harmony.  

Can't remember. He has a ring that is worth 25,000 and he wears it alot. He has spiked grayish hair. 

Sorrento on the Brilliance was ok. Everybody knows the place for ? is CHICAGO.

Serenade is a beautiful ship. I have been on her four times including a B2B. The ship is easy to navigate. 

Just got off Brilliance Jan 6. They still have Rita. The curry was great in the Windjammer every day for lunch and dinner. The ship is awesome. I booked another cruise and was given 350 off for next cruise. I booked a 6 day junior suite cruise. Went to the diamond lounge every morning and evening. The lounge is relaxing and never felt crowded. I met a man who took 32 cruises last year. He's on the another b2b cruise. 

Before I became a teacher, I was a financial analyst/tax accountant. I am now an algebra trig teacher. Thank you @twangster for showing me there are other people who plan like me.

Happy Criss Year (Happy New Year) in patois.
