Ditchdoc Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 I sometimes like having this app called 'Countdown' I think. You put in a date(s) and it tells you how many days till a birthday, Christmas, your cruise etc. Its fun when something gets below 100 days, then its in the 60s, then the 40's and so on …. teacherdl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Shipmate for my cruise countdown (because the photos on it are prettier to post when I'm bragging to my FB friends), but I used Countdown for my retirement countdown (it's 1,887 days, in case anyone is counting with me. I know that seems like a lot, but it was over 2300 when I started, so yay me.) WAAAYTOOO, mom2mybugs, teacherdl and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first cruise was on Oasis, had such a great time we HAD to book another for later that year after we got off the ship. We ended up on Enchantment of the Seas, while it was a great cruise we were shocked because we were expecting the same experience! We were absolutely spoiled rotten by the Oasis class which is our absolute favorite! You are going to have an absolute BLAST! We have not been on Symphony but I know that it is even better than Oasis. Please be sure to already have a few cruise dates in the future picked out so you can book another prior to disembarking!!!

With the kids this time, we are staying in a Grand 2 BR. DH gets up on his own before 4am, so a space he can go far enough away from the bed I'm still sleeping in is a must for us. We splurged on the 2nd bedroom since this is my 40th birthday cruise, but I'm thinking it's probably going to be the new standard.
