SandyM Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi! My name is Jacki and I have recently become a huge Royal Caribbean fan. I live in upstate New York where winter lasts WAY too long every year, and sometimes the only thing that keeps me going is the thought of my next (or planning my next) cruise! I really enjoy reading everyone's posts and look forward to participating more! Jacki :) Hi Jacki- Welcome to the boards! I live in upstate NY too, in Delmar just outside of Albany :) Jacki_MEI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firegal2539 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Hello Everyone, I am Candie and am from Irving, Texas. I am a solo/single cruiser! I try to cruise once a month, every month, benefits of being retired. I just had hip replacement surgery, 3 months ago, and doctor wouldn't let me cruise from December 2015 until May 2016. First I had to cancel 5 booked cruises, a terrible nightmare, and then had to sit at home and watch daytime television. OMG, I am glad that is over and I can start cruising again. Hopefully will get to meet you on a cruise some time. Candie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaSetter Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hello everybody, I'm Sue, from the Cape Cod MA area. I also love to cruise and am glad to finally found this site....thanks to Matt's blog scopes on Periscope. Our next cruise is June 11 on the Anthem to Bermuda, a place we have cruised to several times and love. It will be my DH,my 18 year old nephew and myself. My nephew is graduating high school and then 3 weeks later he is off to Paris Island to Marine boot camp so we are sneaking this cruise inbetween as a combo graduation/going away present. Steven has never been on a real vacation (other then cross country in a truck, lol) so we are really looking forward to experiencing the cruise through his eyes. We will book a February cruise when we are onboard, still trying to decide between a couple choices. Hope to sail with you all someday :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffswear Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hi I'm Jeff. I've known Matt for several years, and now he's gotten me hooked on cruising with Royal Caribbean. I live in Orlando, FL, which means both Tampa and Port Canaveral are just a short drive away. My family has done two RCI cruises so far (Brilliance in November 2014, Serenade in May 2015 to the Norwegian fjords). We're leaving on Independence in a week for Labadee and Falmouth with our six month old. And this November, we're taking the entire family (18 people including 10 kids) on Oasis.

WAAAYTOOO Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Welcome, Jeff. I am going to take a stab and guess that you are a Marine aviator - or associated with the airwing in some way. Active duty or retired ? I lived in New Bern many times throughout our Marine Corps career. I miss that area very much. There are a couple of us - Marine wives - on this blog. Welcome to our family !

Guest toodle68 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Hello all.. From Richmond, VA... my wife has been cruising since the 90's and loves it. I never thought anyone would get me on a cruise since most of my travels has been 'free form' .. ie, go to location and go and do what I please.. However, we went for a short 4 night cruise out of Miami in 2015 and I loved it. The only issue we have is that whilst the cruise might be cheaper than hotels / meals etc.. the cost to get to ports etc really racks up the price, especially for our next cruise out of Galveston. Our next cruise is western Caribbean in Jan 2017. I wanted to see what a bigger ship was like so choose this cruise over the one out of Tampa on the Rhapsody Of The Seas. .. we have Maine and Alaska on our near future list.. and I want to do Panama Canal but see that RC does not travel through there.. Longer term, the Scandinavian cruises look awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDemuth Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Hello. A warm greeting to all from Louisville, KY. We are Don and Meg and new to cruising. Our first was last June on Splendour of the Seas in the Eastern Mediterranean. Wonderful cruise that we enjoyed so much that we're now booked on Oasis in October (Western Caribbean) and just reserved a 10 day Sydney to New Zealand in March 2018. Looking forward very much to both. We're still learning the ropes and this site is a wealth of information; thanks to everyone for that. But must admit that I'm still struggling with some of the acronyms, e.g. BOGO and WOW sale. Will figure it out eventually... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
