Wanna Be Retired

I just delete them, but I can see how someone can think they have a really good shot at getting a Royal Up. I just find it kind of funny.

I find it funny that I have a cruise booked with the cabin I want. I get the Royal Up offer that I don’t want to participate in because I want to stay in my cabin. The number of emails I get trying to get me to bid is ridiculous! I delete them but after several hours I get the email again!

We were on there for the March 24 sailing and they were not able to do Columbus. That is my favorite show of all time! I could see it a million times and still love it! I know all the lines but it still makes me laugh!

My worst case scenario is my money gets refunded and neither one of us go. If we can’t we will enjoy the day doing something else!

I found a tour I wanted for a future cruise while I was on a cruise. I asked the lady at the Excursion Desk what to do because there was two of us and only one slot left. She told me to grab it and when I got on the ship come to the Excursion Desk and they would work it out. The worst case scenario was they would refund my money, but they normally had ways of working everything out. I did just that. She said they usually have cancellations when people get on board. She could not promise me but I will go there and see what happens. I would definitely give it a shot!

I’ve checked in and got a 1:00 pm check in time with a 12:00 pm reservation for lunch in a specialty restaurant. Got there when boarding began and was on the ship waiting for my reservation. Nobody looked at the boarding time. I have done a back to back when there were a few people who had not exited the ship that they were frantically looking for. They said it was delaying the new people getting on board.

I’ve been on her multiple times in the past year. We loved every experience. The crew is outstanding! The food is great. I ask for a baked potato instead of rice on Mexican Night and they don’t even bat an eye! Every person I talk to says the same thing. When they are having their last voyage before leaving Galveston and they go around to say goodbye to the crew they have weepy eyes.

Kat Falcon is the Cruise Director on Voyager. I got off March 4th so I have no idea when she came aboard. Rob McNally was there Christmas.

I totally get that they are upset. It never feels good to be told you can’t come in here. I had one Pinnacle ask me how I felt being kicked out of my lounge by him. I wasn’t kicked out. I’m Diamond Plus. It’s probably coming since I’m not at 340. He said he was kicked out because of the high number of kids in the suites. I’m sure when the time comes I get a letter saying I’m not welcome during certain times even if I don’t use it, it doesn’t mean it won’t hurt a little just being told I can’t come in. At the same time, I’m not going to hog space to make others feel bad because I’ve been hurt.

I’ve seen that on Harmony, too. I was kind of surprised the first time I saw it.

Not in Galveston.

Didn’t Voyager get hit by a gust of wind or something that made it list several months ago? Sometime at the later part of 2023?

I quit taking mine. They always tell me mine are unacceptable. I let them take them since I am such a bad photographer.

I’ve sailed multiple times this year. Yes, you get the same cup you would get if there was a freestyle machine. You can get it filled at any bar with soda.

I’ve done Voyager five times and Allure three. I’m going to go on my second Harmony, The ice show is the same but the skaters have changed. Every ice show on Voyager someone has fallen in the same spot. Not always the same person, but someone hits the ground in the same spot. That said, we never miss the ice show. We never miss the same parade. We go to the same itinerary and we have the best time! Galveston does have some Harmony sailings going to CocoCay this year.
