We did an 11 night Rome to Greece cruise on Azamara in 2012 for our Honeymoon and it is still to this day the best cruise from service to food to the ports we have ever been on.

This sounds dirty…. Lol.

Your call. Labadee in and of itself is great. The beach furthest from the ship harborside I personally think is the best. I recommend that beach for Labadee. I paid $60 15 years ago for Paradise Cove. If you want that Gilligan Island feel, Shangri-La type beach. I would do it. This is just my opinion, not fact!

Paradise Cove is the new name for Malfini Beach. DO IT.

I can't say currently. But back in the day Malfini Beach was literal Paradise on Earth. Now it changed names and incorporates learning Haitian food and culture tour.

Yes. Was there 2 weeks ago.

Totally agree. Philippines and Thailand for 3 weeks next summer!

Summer 2024 will be out by our NYE cruise. Definitely booking one or 2 while onboard.

Thanks for these updates. Cruising on her for New Year’s Eve this year.

Hey! I have one for December 🤣 Waiting for 2024 Summer schedule to come out. Going back to the Philippines for 2023.

When you get back from a cruise for you to stop or calm down on constantly daydreaming and thinking about your next cruise. Constantly going on forums, constantly going on Royal Caribbean website and looking at your cruise planner, constantly looking at deck plans, constantly looking at future cruise possibilities…. ? Usually takes me about a month to two months to calm down a little bit….

Strange, since last July I have if I don't tell them off the bat. They always ask, "Use you Diamond voucher?" . Next cruise I'm in the big leagues, going from 4 drinks to 5 drinks a day! Yay me!

Fake news.

Book onboard for the crazy low deposit and like someone else said reprice when you get home. Rather lose $100 bucks than $750 should I have to cancel.

Never noticed. Every dinner in the MDR we are out in about an hour and a half.

One of my favorite class of ships. I feel your pain, one of my European cruises we had a room close the centrum elevator...never again booking in that location. The ship layout as a whole though, I do love. Every place you go you almost always see the sea.

We always book 1 device and we share the login as well, saves us $$$$

Cruising this itinerary for New Year's Eve on Voyager. Thank you for letting me know about Cosol Tours for St. Lucia and Silver Moon for Barbados!

I’m going to the Philippines next year so I have no cruises for 2023 but I am definitely booking 1 to 3 for 2024. I’m serious I will look at your upcoming cruises and try to line one up I’d love to meet you and your wife

It would be so boring and seen as what’s the story here. Quick summary, a woman who is friends of Susie Freckles bum rushed my mom in the casino and welllll….. let’s link up on a cruise and I’ll tell you in person? Seriously, you always go, I’m sure I can get on one that works with me and wifes schedule. You can even tell me how much of a a-hole I’ve been here, I’m nothing like that in person tho 😉

Funny but accurate!

So does your sea pass card that says pinnacle member…. I understand it’s natural to want to defend yourself. But the reality is there’s no need to wear the pinnacle pin unless you’re trying to brag because everything you claim to get from the pin all you Gotta do is show em the seapass card

The real question is why the pins worn all week. Get over yourself. I have a story about a Pinnacle encounter this past week on Oasis....

Looking forward to hitting up Labadee August 8th on Oasis. Thanks for the post and replies.
