    Lil guy has made several friends in the pool already! So cute! They are racing each other and having a ball.

    Dad and mom are relaxing...

    Sounds PERFECT! ENJOY! Did hubs ever get the hang of you and this blog? My wife still gives the the "what the heck are doing on there so much" look and we're not even on a cruise now!

    Going on our victory cruise in January

    I'm guessing that in the future when you think back, that may be the favorite sentence you ever said! Congrats and happy sailing.

  2. All the walls, doors and even the ceiling in the cabins are metal. The hooks can be used for robes, bags, coverups, swim suits, etc. These are the ones we got and they were great. Just know that the posted weights refer to when they are on the ceiling. They hold less when on the walls, but still work fine. Happy sailing!

    Also, there a great thread here about packing

    When I check the box for 'only flights that allow cancellations',  the price shoots up to like 900. per person!  I am guessing that is because it is so far out in the future.      

    @kittysoul, I would think any refundable airfare will be a LOT more money than non-refundable. Hopefully you will get trip insurance anyway, so maybe it's worth checking the cost of the "cancel for any reason" clause and then booking the nonrefundable air.

    We walked over to the shops/restaurants across the way and had lunch at Burgerfi. The three of us cost about $21 and change.

    We walked back and enjoyed the AC in the lobby.  At 2:30pm they called and said our room was ready which was FABULOUS because their website has a stern warning to cruisers that check-in is not permitted until 4pm. 

    This is great...we are booked there in a couple of months (oops, no in May, got my dates mixed up). Are you going to La Bamba? @Lovetocruise2002 will never forgive us if we don't try it. It's her favorite restaurant there (maybe anywhere).

  5. @ScottL, welcome to the forums!

    Just a suggestion. The county where I live provides us with veterans I.D. cards. It has our picture, name and address, branch of service, birth date, discharge date and county seal. The DD214 has so much other personal data that I'd either want to cross out or not carry with me. Plus thankfully, so many places now offer military discounts and it's so easy to just show this card.

    There are members of this blog that can be (maybe are) professional photographers, but here is my 2 cents worth. I use a resizer app called Photo and Picture Resizer. The welcome picture above started as 4M. I then resized to the smallest choice which was 25% (although there is an option to put in your own size, pixels, etc). That brought it to 2M. I saved it and did it one more time which brought it to 49kb. 

    That actually came out to 258 x 194. So try just resizing your original to those numbers.

    I probably made this way more complicated than need be. I'm sure someone else will chime in and provide some better help.

    Again, welcome to the forums!

    Was this sailing a 9 night? 

    It's a 9 night on Adventure that I am considering for next July.  Not sure if I'll be bored on Adventure for 9 nights (I'm #teamOAclass lol) but since it's more port intensive and we'll be out all day at each port, I am hoping it might not matter.

    I sailed Symphony in May and you went in July. I am on Adventure in May and you in July. What a copy cat you are!?

    Sabrina, I'd be lying if I said I didn't like Oasis class better. But this will be the third time sailing Adventure and still looking forward to it. We also like this ship better than Anthem (other than not having the 270). Each time on, the staff was fabulous....in 2018 they were so good, I wrote a letter to corporate in addition to the survey. 

    If you are sailing with others (group cruise, extended family?) you will find enough to keep busy. If it's just you and hubby, you can celebrate anniversary #18. Plus you are such a positive minded sailor that I am sure you will enjoy yourself even though it's not Oasis class.

    @Fuzzywuzzy, was the staff on Adventure as good as I have come to expect? And welcome home!

  8. I messaged them yesterday and was told the Key would appear 60-90 days before sailing. An hour later it was on my planner (250+ days out).  It's listed at $31.99. I paid 19.99 for an Oasis Class 7 night last May. This is a 12 night on a Voyager class...no way we will pay more than 24.99 for it.

    It used to be that the facebook messenger group was very reliable. Lately it seems like they use stock answers whether or not it's applicable to your situation. Very unfortunate.

    I've gotten conflicting information from Royal Caribbean

    Should we lock in our excursions already?

    As you saw, there is always a chance that any given excursion can sell out, be it Royal or third party. If you can see yourself clear to pay this far in advance, then I would lock in any of the ones you want from Royal. I say that because if the price does decrease you cancel and rebook at the lower price. But I would call to do that rather than doing it on line to make sure you don't lose your spot to someone else when you cancel. 

    I would check with the third party companies to find out their policies regarding cancellations or price changes. Also, there are some companies that offer reservations with no payment or deposit needed.

    Happy sailing.
