Ampurp85 Posted December 23, 2024 Report Posted December 23, 2024 I am glad this was a good ending to what possibly might be your last time with Royal. It would have sucked if your Feb Oasis sailing had been the last one . I am really sad that I had to cancel my Ascent sailing. Although with the way things are going, we may be sailing celebrity or Harmony together soon. SweetPea and asquared17 1 1 Quote

ScottD Posted December 26, 2024 Report Posted December 26, 2024 Well, I FINALLY caught up and read (most) of this... sounds like it was a great cruise, even with the sunbathing guy! Your last few posts, especially the one gushing about how great Symphony is, and the fact that it is heading to Galveston after it does NJ, makes it even sadder that we decided to Cancel our sailing on her in June! We had only put a next cruise deposit down, so we are only losing the 300 bucks (and $350 in OBC, which REALLY hurts). But after the MSC cruise that we loved, and booking another one for August on the ship they seem to get almost all great reviews for, which seems to be really hit or miss depending on the ship with MSC, we did some math. That got me realizing we can add a week prior on the same ship, do our first back to back, which are two different itineraries, one being the same route we would've taken on SY - just swap private islands. WITH Drink packages for all three of us on both, and wifi for 2 on both, we are paying the same for two cruises, 14 days, with the extras, as the one Symphony cruise was going to cost with no extras added yet. SO we went all in with MSC for this summer. WE did promise the boy we would get back on an Oasis ship after that, so now I have to figure that out for Spring break or summer 2026..stupid Galveston stealing Symphony.

BUT — reading up on your options here, sounds like MSC is the real winner! i think we can all collectively agree that royal pricing has gotten so wild lately. cruising is in our blood. you have to go for what works best for you and your family — and this MSC gig sounds like an incredible deal!!!! 14 days?! COME ON. THE DREAM. and all the extra stuff? LETS GO!!!!!!!! i’m just praying symphony comes back to florida for 2027ish…. i miss her already but SO happy to hear things went so well on MSC. this is making me excited for our april sailing!!

WAAAYTOOO Posted January 9 Report Posted January 9 We're fine ! I had heard about this alleged outbreak already. I hope nobody else has been ill.... Ampurp85 and asquared17 2 Quote
Cactus527 Posted January 9 Report Posted January 9 I'm glad everyone here is doing okay that was on that sailing. I always wonder about these - did it REALLY come from the ship? It's like when I got Covid post-cruise once - did I get it on the ship? In the airport? On the plane? It's so hard to pin down. Ampurp85, WAAAYTOOO and asquared17 3 Quote
