I remember it being a short walk to the aquarium from Mambo Beach and a resort on that little island too! Beautiful area.

Same weather here. Quite breezy with the cold front that blew in overnight. Yesterday we had a high of 75. Sad to say I just picked the last of our bell and banana peppers. I just finished dismantling the garden.😮‍💨

Glad to hear she is adjusting well to her new home. She sure is adorable. ❤

Cruise has to be paid off as the sail date is 10.30 Like you said I would just leave it be and see what happens once they board and see if they truly have a free cabana

I am not aware of Diamond Plus getting free room upgrades to a grand suite. Last year when ships were sailing at 30% there were upgrades but those days are long gone now that ships have been at 100% since earlier thus year. Definitely do not get a cabana for free just for being a D+ sounds more like royal made an error in giving her a credit and not charging her card. Unless she had $1500 in OBC for some reason unknown to us.

I know I wasn't asked but will chime in. We love both Eagle and Mambo beach. The set up for Mambo is more resort like with lots of loungers, beach bars, etc. where Eagle you can just go off on your own and not be surrounded by a lot of people. Answer depends on what you are in the mood for, IMO.

Woot Woot! Love doing the Happy Dance🤩 Hope you have terrific weather with smooth seas. Bon Voyage!

Possible food poisoning and her body being weakened may explain some of her symptoms. Lots of germs at Disney. I hope she is feeling better now.

Never heard of D+ being comped a cabana, maybe casino comp? Maybe they did a royal up to grand suite? Or casino upgrade if they are big players. You will love the cabana.

So true, I have living room furniture with similar covers used on that sofa but furniture in family room has bed sheets and throw blankets. Then I have royal towel on chaise lounger in bedroom. I'm at the point that it depends on who is coming over if I remove them.

Have you ever been to Baltimore? It is a beautiful city and the inner harbor is a really nice safe area to spend a day. Again, if you are craving a sailing to the bahamas while you are in the US, then do a b2b on Anthem the week before the TA leaves the states.

I live about 1 hr northeast of Philadelphia and have heard many times on the news about dredging concerns of the Delaware and some groups keep fighting for cruise ships to return to Phila. but they just don't want to put the money into the port/dock for cruise ships.

The bridges as well and I believe Philadelphia does not wish to pay the funds to dredge the Delaware River to fit cruise ships.

Probably because it takes 2 days to get to bahamas from NJ then probably add another 2 days to get back up north to get to the azores, etc. The eastbound crossing from MD and even the one from Miami, FL do not go to CocoCay. If you really want to go to bahamas maybe do a b2b sailing on Anthem as the sailing before the eastbound crossing goes there.

My heart melted as a teenage girl in the 80s when I got a kiss and autograph from Bo Duke (John Schneider) at a car show.

They have a couple different skinny pumpkins flavors. I like just a splash of the regular pumpkin spice in my coffee. The pumpkin caramel is way to sweet /artificial tasting.

I'm thinking I will get mine on a Saturday incase I feel crappy the next day. Or maybe get it on a weekday and get a day off😁

Yes, that one. Hopefully Ace the OP has looked at a map route to figure out the Anthem TA is nowhere near the Bahamas.

I was talking about the crossing coming up in a couple in 2 weeks.

Looks like the stay north and do ports like nova Scotia when coming or leaving ftom Southampton. Been that way for a couple of years with Anthems TAs.

That was my first too! Didn't like seeing that. You know how many tables and chairs they wipe with that same rag, disgusting.

Do they still put you in quarantine deck? If so, the 4th person sailing with them would not be able to get his seapass. And if that 4th person is under 18, no go there. They should be able to refund dining pkg to credit card on file.

No, we did not try Sabor. Sorry for my mix up. You will enjoy Samba, hopefully it's as good as it was for us.

I'm recording it.

We have also stayed at the Best Western on O'Donnell Street for their park n stay option. Free Shuttle service and free breakfast have always been good. Also nice to use their free shuttle to go to Baltimore Harbor. I'm not sure if they do airport shuttle. If you want a really nice hotel with a perfect location of the inner harbor then I highly recommend Pier 5 Hotel. Several dining options on-site include Ruth Chris, McCormick & schmuck. They have both shuttle from airport and to cruise port. You need to call hotel direct for their package deal.
