We were in the room right next to this room on Harmony and had a pretty good view of the show as well, was trying to get the last room but someone beat us to it. In April we are sailing on Wonder and have the last room directly across from your room and pretty excited about it Not only to you get the show but you get some great ocean/port views as well

The one and only I'm still on there occasionally but most to post my them park photos. Been awhile, how have you been?

So are these priced per person or per cabana? We currently are going in April 2023 with a group of people and one group booked a floating cabana for $1,900 but was curious if that was just for the two in his room or for 8 people?

This is how we dressed up for the first formal night on Harmony last May. The second formal night we ditched and at at Jamies Italian

So some of you might have followed along from my previous post from our cruise on Harmony this past May, well . . . . . we went and did it again. We just recently booked 2 room for 6 of us on Symphony of the Seas for May 2020 and couldn't be more excited after the fun we had on our last cruise. We are officially hooked on cruises and our kids are constantly asking us if it time for the next cruise and then get sad when we tell them not yet. There will be six of us all together with myself, my wife, our 3 girls who at the time of sailing will be 9,8 and 6, our youngest will be turning 7 on the last day of the cruise, and then my brother. We loved our balcony rooms in the boardwalk section last year and went with those again, drink packages and John Rockets meals where a nice perk as well. This trip will be headed out to the east side of the Caribbean with stops in Labadee, Puerto Rico, St Thomas and Coco Cay 442 days to go, lol.

So tomorrow we get to book our next cruise for May 2020. Will start a new thread for that, super excited. Stay tuned. . . .

I am a bad influence for sure ? Enjoy the new gear, look forward to seeing your pictures.

Why thank you ?

Just went and signed on and there it was. Woohoo I have 7 points, lol ?

Here's a question, do you automatically get enrolled in C&A after your first cruise or do we have to sign up somewhere?

Hello All, does anyone know when they typically release dates for summer 2020? We are looking at booking Symphony of the Seas for around that time and see its only available up until April 202 as of now.

Yes very true but one big benefit is the savings we would get on food. It costs the 5 of us $50-$60 on for lunch easily at the waterparks, possibly even more if we are at Disney or Universal. And then add on additional $10-$20 for parking depending where you are headed. So i can justify spending the $44 and feel like we got our moneys worth.

I for one am excited for this expansion but im also a huge waterpark fan and am planning our next cruise to make sure this is one of our stops ?. I was actually pretty surprised the all day pass wis only $44, when you compare to most other waterparks that charge $50-$60 its not that bad.

LOL ? I get excited taking the photos and look forward to seeing the results so on a typical night we were back in our room 9-10pm ish and would work on a few then for an hour or so. Then wake up and do it all over again. Think I averaged 5 hours of sleep each night

Much appreciated, thank you ?

Thank you ? I don't typically don't do to much besides toggle some adjustments in Lightroom, white balance, lower highlights, raise shadows, adjust clarity, increase sharpness and usually add a little noise reduction. If im working on an HDR photo I will merge in LR and then some minor adjustments. I used to go through a phase where i would do some work in LR and then throw it into Nik Color Efex for some pro contrast and detail enhancements but found that added more noise than what I wanted. The night photos I shot using a tripod to be able to get the longer exposure that I wanted and then ran through LR with nothing much crazy done to them. Im not one for using a hundred different layer masks, I don't have the time or patience for that ?

Thank you ?

Some more pictures from our adventure last week. I am really looking forward to booking our next cruise, more than likely will be 2020

I had the chicken cacciatore at Jamies on Harmony last week and was pretty similar to chicken parm, so if they wont make it then this might be the closest alternative

Thank you Matt, was up at 5am to make sure I got some photos without the crowds ?

Couple more photos to post from last week

It seemed like deck 16 always was less crowded Why thank you. ?

Question for everyone. How long after your cruise until you don't have your sea legs anymore? I still feel like in on the boat ?

Much appreciated, thank you ? I've had some of the parks use some of them on thier social media but that has been about it.

Much appreciated, thank you. That was part of the slide, that little dangling thing is part of that fish that attracts other fish in the darkness, if you have seen Finding Nemo that fish makes an appearance and tries to get Marlin and Dori
