ashleybee Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Hi everyone! I'm Ashley. Excited to be here! A bit about me... I'm a twin! (I haven't convinced her to cruise just yet...) I'm 24 and consider myself a quintessential millennial (tons of student loan debt to prove it!) I live in Richmond, Virginia and love all of the history and good food that surrounds me. Disney World is my first love and I took my first cruise to break up my Disney vacations. So glad I branched out! I love everything to do with fashion. Excited to get to know y'all!

Fuzzywuzzy Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 OK. Here goes. Real first name is Mike. Fuzzywuzzy is my username just about everywhere. It was a CB Radio handle I used in the dinosaur era and it made its way to the internet. I am " retired "and so is the wife. I spent almost 40 years as a LEO and did/do related private sector stuff too. The wife was a public school teacher for 33 years. USAF (SP) veteran. We did our earlier cruising with the mouse because it was always with a large family group or just with our own kids. We now do it just the 2 of us. Probably gonna be with Royal alot since retirement checks don't go as far as paychecks and Bayonne is an hour and a half drive. My wife says I am sarcastic and have a bizarre sense of humor but she's been an accomplished liar as long as I've known her. Every morning when I wake up a different body part hurts. Today it was my left elbow. You think it's a tumor? FlowBro Ty, Kyle_cardinalsfan51, coneyraven and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joy Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 We are new to RCL, and new to this blog. I am sitting at FLL waiting to board our flight, just came off Independence of the Seas. After 12 straight cruises on another cruiseline we have jumped ship to RCL and are enjoying it very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sitting in my cubicle counting down until my next cruise ( 122 days ) What other cruise line were you with before Royal ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Thanks for the welcome. The last 3 years we have been sailing CCL. We jumped ship in December 2017 looking for better casino offers. So far we have sailed Rhapsody, Empress, and this week was the second time with the Independence of the Seas. We have 3 more RCL cruises booked for 2019 so far.

Joy Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 I was really excited to find this blog, quite by accident, and look forward tolearning a lot about cruising on RCL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 My husband and I love to cruise, and play video poker. We live in Grand Cayman where we own and operate a business on the waterfront called Simply Weddings. We were formerly retired, but we got bored and started this great business. I love meeting people from all over the world, therefore cruising is a good fit for me. We have played all over, including many trips to Las Vegas, but as we get older we dont want to do too many long haul trips. I just want to learn all I can about cruising on RCL so I hope you will be patient with me while I am still green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonL Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Hey yall I'm Jason, I'm married to an angel named Melody and we have 2 girls (11 & 6) and 1 boy (2). My kids are starting to make cruising requests already, I think I'm creating monsters. We live in Washington state about 45 minutes south of Seattle. If I lived closer to the Caribbean I would cruise more, there is only so many times you can cruise Alaska or Victoria/Vancouver. I've started hanging around this site more and more in the last few months as I become more and more addicted to RCL cruises. I might even be addicted to the idea of the possibility of perhaps cruising. I've successfully binged about 200 podcasts and look forward to cruising with some of you all someday on a group cruise. I also finally pulled to trigger on becoming an Insider as Matt surely deserves the support! God Bless and Happy Cruising Lovetocruise2002, Sweety and coneyraven 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Bless and Happy Cruising Hey JasonL, I feel your pain by not being close to cruise ports that go to the caribbean. We are going on our first ever cruise in Feb, flying to San Juan from TN, doing a southern caribbean cruise on Freedom OTS. Plane tickets certainly aren't cheap, I guess if we had a family of 5 as you do, it would be put on the back burner. Save & plan to make it happen!!
