It sounds like deck 8 it is. Now I just need my TA to get with me next week to make it happen. She has had a really bad family emergency so I am not going to bother her this week. I am sure as the many days until the cruise go by I will have a lot of questions. Like I said we have mostly cruised on smaller ships and it has also been a hot minute since we cruised at all so I am rusty on the planning. I do know I want to rustle up some people to do the escape room.

I am off to research the cabins on deck 8. Thank you everyone. It is so nice to be able to get opinions from people who know versus just looking at deck plans.

That sounds good to be able to be near the Park. We do like the solarium for sea days. Thank you for the information.

I was worried that deck 8 would be noisy or busy being near the park. Do people walk by the cabins to get to the restaurants?

We have not been on the big ships (Anthem was the biggest) what are everyone's thoughts on the best floor to stay on. There are so many floors and so many choices. We usually go for an ocean view balcony on a higher floor. We don't usually spend a lot of time in our room but do enjoy sitting on the balcony for a bit.

Or, fly to Pensacola and stay with us. We will drive down the day before and return the day the cruise ends and you can ride with us.

My TA has had a family emergency so it may be a week or two before I can book the cruise. I so want to meet as many of the Bella group and Dani's thread that I can.

I am just waiting for my accountant to let me know they are finished with the taxes and I can pick them up. It may be a few more weeks since I had to wait until the end of February to send them all the paperwork. There is always that one report that is not ready any earlier.

@dani negreanu I am so sorry that your husband is in such pain. I am also sorry about you having to cancel your trip. Sending positive thoughts to your husband to get relief soon.

I think I sent you an email about the Wonder cruise (not really used to my tablet so there is that). I really want to be on the next Bella cruise.

I didn't buy the one device voom, just the Key. I forgot it was for each person.

It is cool here so Samantha is enjoying her Big Girl Perch my husband made her for my sewing room.

Thank you. I forgot that it was for both devices. We did get the Key. The last time we cruised we had the Key and enjoyed it. We can each just switch between our phones and tablets when we want to check our email. I know I can look at email on my phone but I like a bigger screen to read things.

We often use wifi calling here at home. Sometimes our cell connection is iffy out here.

They are android phones and tablets.

Voom question. We have it for one device. I know that means that only one of our devices can be on at a time. We just take turns at night checking our email. For our phones: Can the device that is on receive texts from home? I know we can use wifi calling to make a call. Can the device that is not on at the time still be in airplane mode and use the app?

@dani negreanu Have a wonderful Birthday and a super, wonderful trip.

For those in the know - if we have the key I don't have to worry about being online at midnight to check in. I can check in the next morning, get an arrival time and just show up when we want to. Correct?

I was wondering about that. I thought there was that rule also.

Mine seems to be working.

thank you for sharing. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Keep us updated as you want to. There is a lot of care on this thread and hopefully you can feel the warmth of it.

i sure would like to go too. I will have to start now practicing my drinking and staying up very late/getting up very early skills. I haven't done that for 40 years but I was epic then. LOL

It is 41 here. Brrr. Everyone in the snow zone stay safe. I had a good day yesterday. I fed 4 baby doves without supervision (just finished training) and no one died. Success!

That looks lovely. Wish Pauline a very Happy Birthday from me.

Whew. Finally caught up after a long day at work. Lots of babies, low on people. Have a super, wonderful cruise. Eat, drink, gamble and flow ride to your hearts content!
