Lovetocruise2002

We actually love Hiro! I don’t think there is a story line but the show has great energy! Having seen them all, Hiro for sure is in our top 3 favourite Aqua shows.

They usually replace OA class ships with Quantum class once the late fall/winter starts.

Great job with the blog guys! Especially the food pics! I was jealous all week. Still cannot stop thinking of Mason Jar!

Truth!

Me too!

That is exactly where we are at as well with Icon class.

July 27th

Hubby and I are sailing SY July 2025 out of NJ, just saying...

Better set aside some reading time! Unless he has changed his long winded tendencies jk…we missed you around here Joe!

I thought that looked familiar. D15 loves those. But I wasn't sure if it was a coffee drink.

What kind of drink is that?

This is one of the best parts of cruising!

Welcome back Joe! We have missed you! I can't believe how time has flown and how much your daughters have grown. I see that some things still have not changed...OY huh? Still no OA class for you? I guess trying to convince you to sail IC is out of the question...lol

What was the company that you used?

A bunch of us got that before Icon inaugural sailing.

If you are referring to a Future Cruise Certificate (FCC), then yes, you should be able to apply that to any sailing. However, take a close look at how your FCC is divided up. If it is broken down per person, then those amounts need to match the reservation you are trying to apply it to. During covid, they were allowing family members to combine and for one family member to use another's amount. I don't know if that is still allowed.

From what Hubby has told me, that seems to be the general rule they all follow. However, on OA last week, it was the white band for stand up.

Yes, only 1. I am out of my food coma. We eat very light once we get home. Now I want to go back lol An interesting observation that Hubby made last week on OA. He always thought that 2 flowriders would mean more stand up advance times. WN (July 2023) was when he really started to get into the flowrider. Since then we sailed OY, IC, and those only have one as well. He was pretty excited to go on OA with 2. Anyway, as it turns out, there is not much more advance riding time. He was rather disappointed. Most times, they ran one side boogie board, one side mixed wave. The lines were long on both sides. The only time they pretty much ran advance only was from 9-10:30am each day. So not a noticeable difference from ships with one wave. He actually said that his favourite wave so far is Icon, but we both realize that could have been due to reduced capacity on the inaugural.

Not at all!!!

That's just nuts! I mean, normal class size for me is about 28 kids, but I teach 13 year olds. 28 little ones, crazy! Sadly, that is the general consensus among the star class cruisers group.

Pass. All those Ultimate Townhouse, Ultimate Family suites give me recess vibes big time! I don't go on vacation to feel like I am at a pre-school or kindergarten classroom lol

Yes! I totally agree! After using these on WN, (I cannot remember what they used on OY), and then IC, it was a rude awakening having to use the old ones again on OA last week.

@GatorCruiser and @OCSC Mike you guys are killing me here with these food & drink pics! Take me back to cruising! First Mason Jar brunch photos and now two of my drinks on board! @recogneyes and I just had these exact drinks last week!

Omg! Those pics! I miss Mason jar so much!!!!!

Any time it goes into pending mode, it cannot be modified or cancelled, regardless of the outcome.
