Good morning everyone, we made it to vacation day #1. Today will consist of laundry and paying bills. The goal is to have the suitcases out and packing started by tonight. I of course have already started the physical prep of keeping a constant flow of alcohol in my body. Now I do prefer Baileys but it is too pricey in my opinion. I have found Carolans to be a great alternative at half the price.

I’m just practicing my food porn. 😁

Haha… it would be a miracle if Royal served any type of Thai. I’ve never seen it but I would be on the side of your wife if they did.

Just to prove my ability to produce food porn. Yummy pad Thai was on the menu tonight. Spicy and delicious.

I can. Thank you so much! My mom is going to love this.

Say it isn’t so. Adventure is one of my favorite ships. Think I’ve sailed her more than any other.

Your kids are right. We live in a tech world and it is important for companies to keep up. It is a matter of convenience. No reason to insult the poster.

That was due to construction for the new non smoking casino room. Should be completed by now.

I’m more than happy to do a test run for you. I will be reporting my success or failure in detail. It is a risk but I think small. At the same time I’m someone that doesn’t really care. I’ll just schedule a flight out the next day and get a hotel. Extra day in sunny Florida in the end is just a happy mistake. 😁

This handsome fellow would also like to say hello.

We are officially on vacation. I wrapped up work a couple hours ago and will do my best not to think about any of that until April 25th when I go back. Just a few bills to pay, a visit to the nail salon, and some travel sized essentials that I want to pick up from Target. Nothing left to do after that but show off my packing skills. Then it will be wheels up. The weather is looking like it will be cooperating. Having my first vacation drink to get this party started.

Thank you both! I assume it can’t be attached here? I thought I recalled someone saying John’s email was in his extended signature but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to see that. Is it best just to put my email here in extended form? I don’t want to break any rules. I feel like I’m back in grade school when I get those warnings.

Breakfast at Johnny Rockets was free when I was last on Symphony.

Did you talk to them at the pier? I can’t recall the specifics but I thought the cancellation policy is different for 3rd and 4th passengers. Assuming you were all booked in the same cabin.

We did this but took the public bus. It was very easy. The bus stop is right by the cruise terminal.

@John&LaLa the spreadsheet would be great. Thank you so much!

I have not done the swim with poop excursion.

If the other party in your room is under 21 you shouldn’t have any restrictions to my knowledge. You can mock the booking online. If you have a restriction it won’t let you mock it. Meaning when you pull up the drink package it won’t even let you select just you.

So I hinted at my mamma’s choices previously. She is not a big drinker by a long shot. I might have mentioned to her how on the Bella cruise they did something you might call a drink scavenger hunt. So she has now bought an unnecessary drink package at a ridiculous price all so she can try all these drinks. She now expects a list of drinks from me that she should try. Given I’m a few days out I’m hoping @seadog or @John&LaLa can help a girl out?

I’m so excited. Just one more day of work. I will then have two days to show off my packing skills and then it is flight time. Seriously my only packing skill is overpacking. Don’t you worry though I’m gonna show you all how it’s done. 😎

You can add the item to your cart to get the full price. They are listed with the full day price prior to gratuities being added. If you put the item in your cart it will show the full cruise price with gratuities. I don’t believe Starbucks is included.

Nothing beats greasy pizza late at night after a full day of drinking

What an adorable dog. 😂😂

I loved following the Bella cruise. It looked like a lot of fun. Would love to join one. I don’t think the next one will work into my schedule. So glad you all got to that and are going to keep it up. Perhaps someday in the future I’ll make it on one.

okay I guess your comparison was sarcasm. I didn’t catch that.
