It was similar to Voices. A collection of cover songs, fancy sets and costumes, and way more special effects with lasers and drones. Zero story line or theme. 1 hour ago, OCSC Mike said: Aqua 80 Too has to be better than InTENse Yes, the only thing I liked about InTENse was the drum in the air part. Hopefully I am thinking of the correct show… 1 hour ago, OCSC Mike said: know very little about Name That Tune but you said it was actually pretty good. Go with no expectations, it’s entertaining enough. And by the time you get there, Marc Walker will be hosting. We missed him again this week! He was on board but it was handover week so we got the outgoing CD. CravingaCruise and OCSC Mike 2 Quote
dustfsu Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 6 hours ago, Lovetocruise2002 said: Thank you all for following another one of our adventures! I am glad you asked this because I forgot to mention it. I did not find the pool deck loud, but loud noises don’t usually bother me in a setting like the pool deck where I expect it to be loud. “All In” the theater show was loud. “Aqua80too” was also very loud; we could hear it clearly from our room with the doors closed. The most annoying thing was actually Central Park. That is the only location where it bothered me. You expect that setting to be a bit more peaceful and calm but there is a lot of noise bleed there from the pool deck above. You can hear the music loud and clear while sitting in CP and that was annoying. Thanks for the feed back. I can't wait till July for my 2 kids first cruise. I am trying to get them hooked!!!

You might remember our Icon one from last year…. I love these traditions. In my case Lindsay is usually topless and engaging in photo shenanigans.

Ignoring the shows, the ones that come to mind that pertain to me and/or our routine can only be positive or neutral in my mind... 1. I have new drinks to try at Pesky Parrot as opposed to ignoring the Bionic Bar (if I don't like any, oh well). 2. I have new food to try at Spare Tire (if I don't like anything, oh well). 3. The new GK location looks cool (as long as the food is good it doesn't really matter). CravingaCruise, WAAAYTOOO and Lovetocruise2002 3 Quote

mashley1021 Posted March 15 Report Posted March 15 Enjoyed following along this week! Also realized my parents and I have the same exact deck 9 starboard 2 bedroom ATS booked in 2026 for Christmas and NYE on Utopia (her first 7 day sailing ever for Christmas... and possibly only 7 day... and also our first star class cruise). Hope the suite treated you well! And also hope the next time I run into you I am not too afraid to say hi again haha. Lovetocruise2002, Sweety, CravingaCruise and 1 other 3 1 Quote

We had the same room on Deck 10 on Wonder and these ones are so much more open and bright than the ones on the older Oasis class ships. And yes, please do come and say hi. I love meeting others from our RC Blog community! Ampurp85, Sweety, GatorCruiser and 2 others 4 1 Quote
Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 15 Author Report Posted March 15 Phew! It’s been a long day. Our flight made good time today. Took off early and landed early. I did not realize how tired I was until I passed out even before take off. Slept most of the way home. However, despite making good time with the flight today, crossing the border was awful! We were on the bridge for almost an hour and a half and at the customs plaza for another half hour after that. So about two hours to cross the border today. Came home and had our traditional post cruise pizza with D18. It is good to be back together again. As much as we enjoyed our week, it always felt like something was missing. Now all unpacked and off to bed asap. Sweety, CravingaCruise, WAAAYTOOO and 8 others 11 Quote

We are quickly approaching this. Just looking forward to the next year and half or so, we don't have opportunities left for all 4 of us. A year a half later, when D16 graduates Grade 12, I have no clue what their schedules will be like or if anyone will still be left at home with Hubby and I. It's sad. 1 hour ago, GatorCruiser said: That’s why I’m holding on to these times for dear life. It’s already gone so fast with my littles. That's the mindset! Time does not wait.

My thinking has always been that SC is worth it when we have the kids. When it's just Hubby and I (and there's a lot of those sailings coming after March 2026), we don't need it. That's not to say I won't give RU a try OCSC Mike, WAAAYTOOO and Sweety 3 Quote

lovetheplaya Posted April 7 Report Posted April 7 On 3/14/2025 at 9:54 AM, Lovetocruise2002 said: Oh, noise was fine. It was peaceful and quiet. I actually hate flying out of MCO. Out of all the airports we usually fly in/out of, MCO is my least favourite. It can have super long TSA lines, although today was not too bad, there is barely any seating at the gates and it’s super congested. I also hate MCO which is a shame because we LOVE Disney...luckily we have TSA precheck so we don't usually have issues there but it's always so much more stressful than it needs to be. I enjoyed seeing your pre-cruise stuff at Disney Springs and o'hana and of course your experience on Utopia was great to see too!
