Having to wait until your cruise ship is 12 miles out of port before you can get the premium spirit of your choice ... now there's a first world problem!  :D

I'm in! For me, it's the Navigator. But probably after Christmas -- All my funds are going to my Liberty cruise right now! Live like a pauper now, cruise like a king!

Wow. What level qualifies for cookies? Makes me want to book more cruises so i can get my cookies!

Ziplock bags are key.

Yay!!!! keep the pan of bacon coming. I always take bacon to the room for bacon burgers for lunch and sometimes dinner.

we should start a topic and people can ask people to get them models.
 
and people can post if they are willing.
 
EG  -AFTER ANTHEM OF THE SEAS MODEL - will pay full price plus a drink or something.
 
 
P.S I'm after an Anthem of the Seas Model and Harmony
 
maybe Matt can buy me one in exchange for some Guac?! :P

I'd love to get a Navigator ship figurine to commemorate my wife and I's trip last year. However, i neglected to pick one up on the ship, and they are apparently hard to get on land! I'm hoping someone might be able to pick one up for me! Thanks in advance either way -- You'll love the ship!

Luke, use the power of the force, not the dark side!

As someone who has cooked for 50 people on a thanksgiving and someone who has cruised on thanksgiving... cruising on thanksgiving is the best. No food prep and no cleanup and plenty of places for that post meal nap. Enjoy!

We sailed over the New Year Holiday 2014 and had a wonderful experience. My sister is a high school teacher which hasoccasionally made it necessary to travel on holidays. The party for the new year was fantasic, fire works at sea. It was all great. I did however get wearly of the holiday/Christmas music played for the entire voyage. That said we prefer to cruise in off peak time when it it less expensive.

Thank You David --- you are right --- my initial response first thing in the morning was rather cold (pre-coffee vs the shining light that I am post-coffee) .....
 
Apologies to those that have had the negative experience ...... Hope everything comes out the way it should be.
 
The cynic side of me had control this morning.

I should probably stay out of this but I don't think "grammar shaming" somebody who is angry is anything except treating someone the way they said they've been treated already. If a mistake was made (and don't for a minute suggest that sometimes a large corporation and it's employees don't make mistakes--or are rude) why not just say so.
I like reading this blog because it was so nice to see everyone's positive outlook on cruising. All of you love to tout how much money you saved, and the value of the dollar, and saving up your pennies to go on cruises. It's nice to read--so when someone is upset they've lost a deposit I"m pretty sure all of you would be pissed off if you were out $500 in 24hrs for a clerical error on your part. Anger can get the best of us, as clearly at has gotten the best of you at this person with their vitriolic language. Direct them and help, don't criticize them for their opinion....it's always our behavior in bad times that is a great reflection of who we are, and admitting when we are wrong and moving on....

I really wish I would've looked at your post BEFORE having food in my mouth ..... You made me laugh out loud.

Lucille has a shooting schedule to meet. Busiest baseball bat in November!

I bet Lucille won't be allowed onboard. ;)

Cool! Something for The Walking Dead cast members to do after their character is killed off!

The food at both was excellent, but the "formal" experience at Chopped was greater. Any chance you can do both?

This is what I generally spend in cash once we leave our pre-cruise hotel. I welcome comments; cheapskate, reasonable or overboard?

We have to be nice... Our football, statewide, is looking unfortunate.  We need friends now, more than ever!
