asquared17 Posted November 29, 2024 Author Report Posted November 29, 2024 and now, on black friday -- a tale of the best bargain you will ever hear.... (also sidebar, paging @Lovetocruise2002 and/or @Jax and anyone else who is a dyson hairdryer aficionado -- i recently got the dyson supersonic nural -- am i going to have any issues getting this through check-in with my carryon and using in the CLS?) ....okay, let me take a proper pause here to properly explain so you understand how i got the deal of a lifetime. to set the stage: the dyson nural is a $500 hairdryer. (plus tax, which varies depending on where you live.) for $500 this thing needs to make my hair look like it was professionally done, ALWAYS. (to say the LEAST) i have long since wanted this hairdryer since it came out last year, but given my former employment in retail and love for a good bargain, i would be DAMNED if i paid full price. i knew there had to be a better way. and they kept putting coupons out for all the dyson hairdryers EXCEPT the nural. this lasted for holiday of 2023 and well into this season. but something magical happened on tuesday night as i was drifting off to sleep!!!!!!!!!!! i refreshed the dyson page (which i was stalking almost as aggressively as the royal and celebrity pages) to find that the hairdryer had dropped 20% or $100!! that was cause for joy BUT i needed it to go on sale at ulta, because that was where my investment was. (and by investment -- i mean points and gift cards.) LO AND BEHOLD!!!!!! IT FINALLY WENT $100 OFF AT ULTA TOO!!!!!!! then i had gift cards for $200. then i cashed in all my ulta points. AND THUS. I PAID. E I G H T E E N. DOLLARS!!!!!!!!! for a $500 hairdryer!!!!!!! YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON!!!!!!!! Cactus527, GregD, SweetPea and 10 others 2 1 3 7 Quote
asquared17 Posted November 29, 2024 Author Report Posted November 29, 2024 also just to really emphasize the joy of a good deal -- last night before drifting off (why is this always the theme here?) i ghostbooked our december 2026 ascent sailing to find out that it had GONE DOWN!!!!* (not by much, but even so!) i sent our TA an email and she responded this morning, letting me know that we got the price adjustment moral of the story: don't give up!!!!!! and may the odds be EVER in your favor on this black friday season!!!!! *interesting to note, all the other sailings had not gone down, but UP WAAAYTOOO, MaryS, PPPJJ-GCVAB and 3 others 4 2 Quote
Jax Posted November 29, 2024 Report Posted November 29, 2024 51 minutes ago, asquared17 said: am i going to have any issues getting this through check-in with my carryon and using in the CLS?) I love to hear deals like this!! I own a Dyson hair dryer and an air wrap. I don’t take my hair dryer with me when I travel and I always check my air wrap so I’m not much help on the first part of your question but I have had problems with my air wrap working properly on cruises. It will just stop working and sometimes it won’t restart or takes some finagling. I am considering taking a non Dyson back up this year. asquared17 1 Quote
ScottD Posted November 30, 2024 Report Posted November 30, 2024 How's your packing going? We haven't even started yet and we fly out Friday afternoon... we finally got our kid his own carry on sized suitcase so we will actually use two suitcases instead of one suitcase and a couple of backpacks like we usually do. I don't wanna hijack your blog, but I started my live for the MSC cruise over on CC if anyone wants to see my occasional outlook on a new cruise line (well, new to us). I'll be following along with yours the best I can while relaxing around the ship next week. Here the link if you wanna check out a little preview for your Seascape cruise next year, lol... https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/3037793-live-from-seascape-127-1214-by-an-msc-newbie-fantastica-balcony/?do=getNewComment Ampurp85, asquared17 and InmyElement 1 2 Quote

GregD Posted November 30, 2024 Report Posted November 30, 2024 Awesome deal on that hair dryer!!! while not as good, Beis is having some good sales on their stuff, (30%off). I ordered a nice work tote for the boss and keep stalking the page for other things we might need. I too keep stalking the RC page but alas, my booked cruises are not dropping in price, and we are having a hard time pulling the trigger for 2027....We really want to do a Southern Caribbean since it's all ports we have not been to, but the price for AD for the week we need is silly. asquared17 and Ampurp85 1 1 Quote
Lovetocruise2002 Posted November 30, 2024 Report Posted November 30, 2024 Ok wow...It's been a minute and I missed out on all the fun this week in this blog. Sometimes, well most times, I really wish I did not have to work. @asquared17 The new luggage is gorgeous, but please tell me that you are not going to bring all 5 of those cases with you... Also, I am no help with the Dyson question because I am a T3 girl. I have never had an issues with any of my T3 products on a ship, other than on Icon when plug was too big to fit in the outlet because of the setup near the vanity. @GregD, don't get me started on our PDCC pricing for the upcoming NYE sailing. @Jax would text me from time to time to tell me about her re-pricing her cabana and every time I checked ours, it was ridiculous. In fact, despite the BF sale, all my CP pricing is ridiculous. None of them have dropped in price from before the BF sale started. The most disappointing one is the WN (July 2025) sailing I have, I have been waiting for BF to purchase the UDP and it never budged. Annoying.

SMOKEY0202 Posted November 30, 2024 Report Posted November 30, 2024 Sadly rates on Royal are becoming insane and perks are being taken away and it's roll of dice if can get in lounge or not at this point Either stay in dry dock sticking with Royal or expand horizons to sail seas Honestly Celebrity has been having some good rates with itineraries that are more appealing with longer port times Quote

asquared17 Posted December 1, 2024 Author Report Posted December 1, 2024 to everyone wondering about packing…. i am happy to report i am about 80% complete! the new compression cubes are working great; i actually would be further along but unfortunately desperately need to do laundry as i am going to run out of clean underwear to pack ala batman ( @SweetPea) once i get my laundry done, i should be able to close the gap. somehow i think i left my travel diffuser at the phoenician in AZ when we were there in march after our second oasis cruise. i had purchased it because the one i typically use was not staying on with the usb connection. but after tearing through my bins of packing supplies (organized by category - cruise, carryon, toiletries, packing bags/holders) i can’t find it at all. so i made yet another bezos order; the diffuser, rubber bands for our duck tags (WHERE DID THEY GO????), another coola travel kit (the BEST), toiletry bags (have these and LOVE, also on sale for cyber monday), and reordered sunscreen. the sunscreen i actually won’t need for this trip but i found somewhere online that had sunbum on sale, so i figured it was better to take advantage now. i also got these GREAT bags at ulta; i use them for my vitamins/traveling medicine chest, one for “kit” on the plane (backup battery, usb cord, kindle, chapstick, mask, whatever else needed and it sits next to me on my seat on the plane), vital things like glasses, electric toothbrush etc. they are on sale right now and i cannot recommend them enough. better than a traditional ziploc because they have a full zipper closure and the see through feature allows you to remember what you’ve stuffed inside ulta bag: https://www.ulta.com/p/basics-clear-clutch-pimprod2010140?sku=2550293&cmpid=PS_Non!google!Product_Listing_Ads&utm_source=google&utm_medium=paidsearch&cagpspn=pla&CATCI=&CAAGID=&CAWELAID=330000200001836008&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD9rLH73mM3DKPZ2GDccTbeiIbRY3&gclid=CjwKCAiAjKu6BhAMEiwAx4UsAhrZiucFBC-SBlLw9VcylIRLlwVeEbwquomWEtxTbCSeKBus3E7yphoCmZQQAvD_BwE bezos toiletry bags: pack all 3 Pcs Water-resistant Material Zipper Pouch Set, Mesh Zipper Bags for Storage, Travel, Office (Green) https://a.co/d/8GXTKGR the toiletry bags are lined inside and prevent most spills (i guess if it was egregious you’d be out of luck regardless) but they’ve held up for years and i like the set of three for a starter. they also have a two tone version. https://a.co/d/ct481Db i like how bright they are because they’re easy to find in a bag as well, and i use the set as it makes it straightforward to pack and unpack when things are grouped together — skincare, hair care, everything else. most of the day spent working at my side hustle so i was glad to take some time dedicated this morning to knock out the bulk of the packing and organizing. the rest is just a matter of shifting stuff around from the trunk to the medium suitcase and back, depending on how things shake out. not having a traditional large clamshell style suitcase is weird since this is the first time using it, so it’s taking some getting used to. the only real negative feedback/reviews i found on the trunk were if really heavy items were put on the top/shallow side, it would cause that half to buckle/sit inside the other half. i am keeping it so more lightweight cruise stuff goes there (CUP CLIP!!) and feel pretty good about my ratios. weather looks great in florida for the weekend so i am hoping we get some pool or beach time on saturday i have a feeling this week is going to FLY by AND we have @melmar02’s liveblog to follow along with too!! ps: sorry to anyone’s wallet for the links above please note they are not affiliate links either SweetPea, MaryS, PPPJJ-GCVAB and 2 others 3 2 Quote

Ampurp85 Posted December 2, 2024 Report Posted December 2, 2024 I think the vintages have a different mindset when it comes to luggage. I don't believe Away hasn't been around even 10 years, so people are used to what they are used too. I remember buying a set of luggage for my mother and grandmother to take on their first trip. They never had anything matching and were super excited, over 10 years later this $100 (5pc set on a BF deal) luggage I brought from Macy's is still their go-to. Neither has thought to buy different ones, meanwhile I have gone through at least 5 sets, including an Away one that I sent back because they didn't have any purple at that time........ imho they are still lacking in purple now . asquared17 and PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 1 Quote

I don't get sick so having a cough for over two weeks has been absolute HELL for me, lol. We fly out in two days and this stuff BETTER be cleared up completely by then!!
