Lovetocruise2002

I am on my couch right now, really jealous! Moonlight, lobster, SL, peach tea! I need another cruise lol

Happy cruise day!!!

Maybe after a few drinks on Star

@JustMeJoe thanks. Done.

Yeah, I saw that when it was released. I remember it was pricey…. Living it up in retirement probably. Umm…because you don’t want to hear the solution lmao

Sad news! That was my favourite bar on Icon. Definitely try next time. I cannot wait for another Big Bobba!

He doesn’t ever have a plan! sometimes things get forgotten, even enough underwear

I did forget that one! I could go to Rye & Bean too!

Notice I said “Trellis Bar”

Even if you got nothing....this blog seems to be taking a life of it's own tangents? Shall we remind you to pack underwear next?

Some of you might remember that I had shared our sailing qualified for the Spend to Save Challenge. When we did our post cruise questionnaire on Sunday, there was actually a question asking if we had received information in our stateroom and via emails about this Spend to Save Challenge. We answered yes to both. On Monday, I got an email that they were "calculating our qualifying purchases" and that an FCC would be on the way shortly. Like all things Royal IT, I fully thought I would have to pursue this on my own lol. Pleasantly happy to report that on Tuesday, we got our FCC for 10% back on the RGP. Seeing that we already purchased it on sale in the cruise planner, and now 10% back, it's a win! Definitely good to try once. FCC is safely applied to our Utopia NYE sailing since we only have 60 days to apply it.

You don't have to convince me! I already know I love X. It's Hubby.... OMG! I literally thought the exact same thing as @GatorCruiser before I read the response on the next page! I feel like @GatorCruiser and I would get along! We need to sail together and meet at the Trellis Bar for a drink!

As a fellow Canadian, I can tell you that we have taken several cruises this year. We have flown out of the US and sailed out of US ports and there has been no trouble or harassment.

I liked both your posts but what I really wanted was the mad face emoji! In the words of @asquared17...BETRAYAL! @OCSC Mike if you have the UDP, I really think you should at least give the soup a try. You can't knock it unless you try it. I tried the Apple pie moonshine thing for you, I say you try the soup and think of @WAAAYTOOO and I.

This is so true. You know I never shared on my blog last week, but this reminded me of a realization I came to last week while sailing Freedom. With Royal doing so many of these boring 3/4 night itineraries, it actually gives me a chance to do something I always said I wanted to do...which is to take cruises to nowhere. The last 3 sailings (Allure NYE, UT March 2025, and FR 2025) I never left the ship! To me, that is a cruise to nowhere, which I love!

Hands down, without a doubt....the mushroom soup as well! It is one of my favourite menu items in all of Royal Caribbean.

With you on that one. Utopia is probably my favourite Oasis class even though it’s super similar to wonder. And I only had 4 days on her.

I am here to see how the dining package unfolds for you! Your plans look good but I see a potential for food coma on this day. But it's your last day so who cares! You beat me to it! I was thinking the exact same thing! @OCSC Mike are you a Star Wars fan? If so, I never knew.

Also agree on this point. One day, when Hubby retires from the flowrider and we make Pin, I will migrate over to X more. The one sailing we had last year with them I really enjoyed.

That is essentially the trade off.

Onto more positive news! Our flight home was smooth! Even landed 15mins early at DTW. Crossing the Ambassador bridge was easy too today. Less than 15 min wait and that is a huge win. To put it into perspective, when we come home after spring break & NYE sailings, the wait is over an hour sometimes at the bridge. Got home around 4pm. So not bad at all from ship to driveway in 8 hours. Now completely unpacked, and settled on the couch waiting on pizza. Freeloaders had good intentions to do their laundry. However, when I got home, I noticed everything was loaded into the machine but it was dry. One freeloader, the one who was not working today, forgot to turn the machine on. So back to doing laundry for them. I actually breathed a sigh of relief when I stepped back into my own bathroom! Back to my shower where water will not go all over the floor and enough counter space for yours truly, the product junkie.

Nuts? Yes. I completely agree with you. Are any of us who know Royal surprised? Not really. Whatever makes them more money. We all know who to thank. That is my rant.

I agree with @OCSC Mike, you need to try Oasis class!

Same. We caught a good price on the suite GTY on Freedom already, and then with the sale on the package, plus the spend to save challenge made it worthwhile to try.

I sure hope so! They start offering it on ships that have the true suite class system and people will have a fit! lol It would dilute everything.
