Last year it was around November/December. Then they ran it again for the WOW sale in the new year.

And even if you only have 2, it's 30% off vs. 25% off since it's BOGO 50.

Not sure if it helps but the "new" Mariner Izumi menu (after dry dock) has ramen noodles. It also has spring rolls, tempura, and crispy chicken under apps. I suspect Navigator will follow the same trend.

Can't believe we'll miss each other by just one week!

I have heard the the 4 nighters (during the week) are more calm compared to the 3 night weekend ones. The exception being March (spring break). We booked a 4-night sailing for Mariner next month. I was slightly concerned about that but not too much anymore. I can report on it in about a month.

Look into the Seaside/Seaview. It probably best suits what you are looking for.

Next time I blog, I will show a pic of what I pack for tea. I drink "normal" tea and herbal. But I only drink organic, which is why I pack my own. And even then, the brand matters. Even I think that I am ridiculous. ? The good thing is that tea weighs barely anything, and I have a 9 year old who can (is forced) to carry it in her carry on. That is her "fee" for the free cruise. ?

We won't run into each other. We're sailing an Eastern itinerary...unless it changes.

We'll be sailing the seas together then ? We leave on the 20th...

Personal opinion here...If you are a serious and picky tea drinker (I am), then pack your own tea. I do every time.

Here is a review of a boardwalk room by @Blondie511 from not too long ago.

https://www.lyft.com/rider It's like a taxi except it's all done through an app. The fare is known up front and you pay for it through the app. That's what we like about it.

That feature "viewing your invoice", has been gone ever since March when they first launched their new site.

We were so close to booking this type of tour. In the end we did not because we felt that San Juan was best explore while walking. @twangster...did you take this tour?

This is just sad, and scary as many do these zip line excursions, not just in Honduras but at many of the ports....

^^^Ditto. That is why I had the pic from above ?

Yikes! We're planning on taking Lyft from FLL to POM in August! I will be praying hard! lol

I have to agree with @JLMoran here...Maybe even Seaside or Seaview? They are being compared quite closely to OA class ships. Initial reviews were not great but recent reviews have them giving RCI some serious competition. If you want, @monorailmedic is doing a live blog right now on the Seaside. Maybe have a read and see if it interests you. I'm headed on the Seaside too (11 days!!!) so as a fellow OA class fan, I can give you my take on it too when I get back. Here's the link to @monorailmedic's blog: https://www.cruisehabit.com/msc-seaside-live-blog-preamble https://www.cruisehabit.com/msc-seaside-live-blog-day-1-embarkation-day-0 https://www.cruisehabit.com/msc-seaside-live-blog-day-2-sea-day

We've did a taxi to PE last time on Harmony and also when cruising Allure. You just need to tell them, "Port Everglades, Terminal 18". And be on the look out for Harmony of the Seas. You cannot miss her. She is massive. You'll know if you're not getting dropped off in front of her ? However, taxi drivers in FLL are not the greatest, at least not in our experiences. After our last taxi debacle last August, Hubby says we are done with taxis and sticking to Lyft now.

I personally love Renaissance but with my kids we will stay at Hyatt Place 17th street convention centre. Hyatt has larger rooms and they have free wifi and hot breakfast. Valuetrips.com offers really good rates for Hyatt Place but they will not release their 2019 rates until fall. I'm actually waiting on them too because I need a hotel stay for March 2019 in FLL. Also, @tonyfsu21 is going to be your go-to guy for all things FLL. He is from there. About the shuttle, wait for @tiny260 to get back. He has some info. @melski94 might too. Found this too. I have heard about this shuttle service before but have never used them. This might be useful for a large group like yours. https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Attraction_Review-g34227-d7854560-Reviews-SAS_Transportation_Services-Fort_Lauderdale_Broward_County_Florida.html?m=19905

I second this! I've seen this happen on almost every cruise. Lol. It makes for great entertainment for those of us walking by though....

Is that your Casino Royale level? I seem to remember a post by @CGTLH about that.

Since I am right along in this camp as well, I can also add in that this is a huge draw for me with Royal. IMO, Royal trumps all the others (even if VOOM isn't the greatest on some ships) for Internet simply because it is unlimited once purchased. Hopefully that doesn't not change. Even with MSC, which we just purchased Wi-Fi for yesterday, their package is generous but we will still have to keep an eye on our usage and turn off background refresh etc. I hate to having to watch usage while on vacation so this is where RC has everyone else beat (for now).

We can be friends again ? It sounds like you are having a great time!

If you get the code in your stateroom, it comes as a letter like this:
