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.

It is an incorrect comparison. You can either add the perks to the balcony OR subtract them from the suite not both.

Are you adding insurance? I don’t know the reason but when I added another passenger to my solo booking the total insurance decreased.

That isn’t $30 a day.

You subtract the extras from the suite and then add them into the balcony to compare. You are really paying 4 or 5k more for the suite.

I don’t think it is. I’ve obsessed and read multiple reviews and watched tons of YouTube videos and I’ve only seen it featured once. I’m not a wine drinker but am going to be sure to go there on my cruise next week. The video I saw the food looked really good.

We did this back in 2016 and loved it. They do a great job here and take great care of the animals. We liked it so much that on a later cruise when we had our kids with us we booked the dolphin swim in Cozumel thinking it would be a similar experience. Nope. I was angry after the one in Cozumel. I cried afterwards. Blue Lagoon is definitely the place to have this experience. I think if you want a watcher to go with you that you would book them for just Blue Lagoon. You should be able to find it listed as a different excursion. You all go on the ferry together to the same place.

I’m doing this later this month with a 10 am flight. Obviously I wouldn’t hesitate to book 11 am. I’ve done a 8:45 flight out of FLL but that ship docked in FLL. You should be fine unless your ship is delayed.

Your review was wonderful. Glad you made it home safely. I hope you have many more wonderful adventures in your future. ❤️

I’m not sure what you are trying to say here. The last time I checked the pools don’t have a foot washing station. If they did I would imagine they would be as utilized as the showers. If dirty shoes gross you out I would suggest you just stay out of the water. Honestly your disdain for such a small thing is perplexing to me. It is a cruise. Enjoy yourself
