WAAAYTOOO 12,148 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 NOT QUITE YET... ....is this going to be a Live Blog. I am NOT looking to set the new World Land Speed Record for starting the earliest Live Blog. It will turn into a live blog MUCH later when we get closer to sail date. I just wanted to announce to the world that the long anticipated 8 night Symphony itinerary for 21 - 29 August 2021 has finally shown up on the website !!!! I've been stalking this cruise for months. They announced the itinerary - Labadee, Aruba and Curacao - months ago, but never opened it for booking until today. I quickly snagged one of the Deck 8 Aqua Theater Suites because I could not afford (or didn't want) any of the other Star Class rooms that were left. Believe it or not, some of the SC rooms were already gone by the time I got there !! The aft-facing Star Loft was there but I don't really want that one. I have NO interest in that awful Ultimate Family thing and the Royal Loft is WAAAY out of my price range on this cruise (and so was the Ultimate Family thing, to be fair). So let the fun begin. I BELIEVE that this will be the first Oasis class ship to go to Aruba and Curacao. I could be wrong about that. For sure it will be the first time Symphony has been there. This will also be my first cruise on Symphony and I'm very excited. 3 ports in 8 days is my idea of heaven. Interest, anyone ?

AshleyDillo 3,824 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 That's a fantastic itinerary for an Oasis class ship! It's just so dang hot down in the Southern Caribbean that time of the year! I'm pushing it with a Labor Day cruise to the Eastern Caribbean! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lovetocruise2002 11,601 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 I just looked!! I want on this one but I cannot do it within a month of the Norway GC. That is already going to be a ton of money! WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kelslovestocruise 96 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 This type of itinerary is a game changer for me. Looking less than 2 years in the future I have finished school and am on the strict teachers schedule going to southern Caribbean in less than 9 nights is impossible with my schedule unless I’m going to San Juan which from Winnipeg Canada costs more per person than the cruise itself.

Creation of Thread * (Explanation of Booking + Cabin Selection Details + Itinerary Coverage) = Live Blog Started You have the forum record for earliest Live Blog, whether desired or not. @Matt, you are fully and completely on the hook for starting this horrible, awful, terrible, no good trend (that I will now shamelessly find some reason to follow). @twangster, your crown is gone unless that other cruise you mentioned in what WAS the earliest live blog at the time is still within the window of victory. @Lovetocruise2002, you are hereby in fourth place.
