Back from our cruise on Liberty. I think we did fairly well but decided to be a little more lenient on our carb intake. The first night in the MDR we decided to split the Royal Cheesecake then our waiter brought another one for me, I was like what but just decided to go with it. We only ate desserts at dinner, stay away from potatoes, ate plenty of veggies (I even asked for double veggies instead of potatoes), stayed away from bread. We were in grand suite so we had plenty of drinks available from 4:30-8. The wife stuck with white wine and I stuck with long island iced tea with diet coke (I know the triple sec). We probably stayed below 100 grams which is still low carb compared to the normal American diet but much more than what we have done lately. We came back about 3-4 pounds heavier but that will come off quickly. Overall I think my wife and I did well. We also walked a lot and tried to use the stairs as much as possible.

Sadly we had to cancel our TA on Symphony.

They would have to turn this into an overnight trip with that much to do on the island especially with the new pier that is going up instead of tendering.

The Australian website has changed as well. It still seems to have a number of issues.
In the meantime I have found I can access the cruise planner and the old website by using this link.

The site seems to work okay using this.,

I read this a little bit ago and cancelled and rebooked. Got 25% off one excursion and 20% off the other two. Saved me around $65-70 for two people.

I will see you there - we are also booked on that sailing! :D It's our first anniversary cruise! 
... yes, I have a cruise booked for my first anniversary before my wedding has even happened.

Welcome, I'm just right down the road in Broken Arrow and my wife also works in education so I know how it is. Our vacations are scheduled around spring break, summer break, fall break, and Christmas.

Your right, brain fart. Been working on presentations for class all day and my mind is gone.

The first one you find that meets the following criteria.
1) Is in your budget
2) Is in the time range that you can travel
3) Has a voyage that lasts for as many nights as you want to travel.
4) Name ends with "of the Seas"
5) Floats.

This is very nice information to know. I lugged a gallon bottle of distlled water with me until I could get into my stateroom on the last cruise. I was able to get an extension cord from our stateroom attendent though. I will defiantly have to remember this for future cruises.

My dad loved that Majesty had hash. He absolutely loves it and eats it at home every once in a while. I enjoyed it myself and I also covered it with gravy as well.

Booked another cruise, might be addicted now.
 
Explorer of the Seas - July 20th, 2018

Yes it is but there is a lot of useful information. 45K+ members of that group.

We booked our next cruise while we were on our first cruise. We got $200 OBC and a reduced deposit of $200 for a 7 night cruise.

This is something I found on another topic but works quite well. These luggage tags on Amazon make it easy so you don't need tape or staplers. I used them on my last trip, they look so much more professional.
