I had booked on the 13th, but have since moved down to 11244.

Realized it was the pool above me.

Paid a could extra $$ to be out on the hump and a bit larger balcony.

After looking at the 12 & 13th, almost seemed like obstructed view with the posts.

I think 2 weeks prior I will have a little get-together to celebrate her 50th and give her something cruise related with everyone here.

Also on the 5 Night dining plan, I signed up for the 2nd night for the 1st dinner.

They pick the initial restaurant? And the other 4 I have to book when I board?

I can not book them in advance, correct?

I'm guessing this is at the 60 day mark to book shows?

good luck with everything!

 

Don't forget to sneak in time to book the shows and the North Star when they open up! Our shows opened up yesterday for my Sept sailing and this morning they were very limited on days and times...

Thank You All!

Switched to the Dynamic Choice! Thank You!

I think that will work out perfect for us.

Going to download the Passport renewals and send those away.

I'll tell her I need if for work as mine just expired and going to get hers renewed as well just in case she can travel with me. She'll buy into that no problem.

We'll give her a week to get ready for a cruise!:D

I'll set up her hair & nails the week of.

Not telling anyone with the exception of my superior!( and you of course)

We'll see if we can pull this off.

Funny, last night watching Wheel of Fortune, at the end they said they are giving away a cruise.. her reaction was, I want to go on a cruise again, it's been too long. :D ....If you only knew!

Keep ya posted!

Oh and...

Never thought of packing her suitcase.:eek:

Would be a carry on if I had my way !

We are late to the game.

Need some advice on dining.

Due to health reasons wifey can not fly, was hoping she was cleared to fly by now but not, thus the delay in booking.

Wife turns 50 in Dec. ( This is a Surprise cruise)

So I just booked yesterday from New Jersey on the Anthem for the 12 Day, 2 Hour drive from home, nice. Initially was going to fly to San Juan and cruise from there. Talked to my boss yesterday and he said go ahead, take 2 weeks off...

They only have late dining, I think that is the Dynamic Dining, Rotating between 4 restaurants?

They say there is no wait list for the early as it is closed.

I understand.

I was going to purchase the 5 Night Dining as well.

Being new to RCL and thinking we would only get to the main dining area 4-5 times at most.

Should I just cancel the main dining? I don't think it is fair to the wait staff and other table mates?

It would be nice to meet and sit with them. But...

What would my options be to eat if we didn't do the Late seating other then the 5 nights at other paid restaurants.??

Also:

Ladies, How long should I wait before I tell her, Happy Birthday, we're going cruising?? Days prior?

I can probably pull this off until the last minute...

I'm not telling anyone else until need to know.

Except all of you of course.

Looked at her passport this morning and it expires in Aug....

Going to have to figure a way to get a new picture taken so she doesn't figure it out..

I can tell her it has to be renewed as it is expiring there is a chance she is going to an international Conference next year with me if she is cleared, so I can tell her it is planning ahead for that and she would buy that.

Thank you,

Sweet! We have 7449 booked for next year!! Thank you for posting the picture.

Once I have the others, I'll post them, You'll love it back there. It's quiet and the elevators were quick..I did use the stairs alot to head up to Rosies and for Pizza many times...+ the Adult section is right up there as well.

We mostly hung out on our balcony for sailaways....

There were 2 chairs, table and a lounger out there,

Nice!! On the Valor in an aft next year. Which cabin is this??

7449, I picked this deck because there are rooms above & below.

We also had 7451 & 7453

Valor last week....

I have more but have not gone through my pics yet...

1st cocktail of the day sailing into Roatan:D

Last week on the Valor....:D

Seems so far away!

Oh sorry..before I get flamed:eek: on the Way to Roatan, yes early in the morning and cocktailing already:D:D

Heard something and never thought it would be a plane landing...:D

This was in 2005 and we were on the DCL ship, never thought then we would be going on the Valor, but here we are about 11 days away!!!

W/O time stamp for those that wanted it..

Hope you don't mind.
