That was slightly more terrifying than I expected.

 

 

What was the excursion?  I’m enjoying your review and counting down the days to our Alaska cruise on the Bliss!

Great review Sid!  It was great 👍. Safe travels back to the ATL!!

In case you thought I was exaggerating about the drainage pipe on our balcony…this is the sound of the constant running water!

What room were you in?

135… Pearl to Panama Canal!  

I’m following along.... have a great and safe trip!

Thanks Cookie!  Great write-up!!!

I’m following along!  Did you by chance get Vibe passes?  If so, any difficulties?

Thanks and have a great cruise!

We are looking forward to it.  We booked this cruise last summer after sailing Bliss to Alaska. It’s been a lonnng wait (and still is!). We loved the Bliss and are happy that a lot of Encore should be familiar to us.

i read a post somewhere that Vibe passes for 12 day was $259.  But of course that can change quickly!  Still, I don’t want to be packed in on those lounge chairs so close together by the pool.

Yes we sail Jan 16 for 12 days, partial transit of the canal.  We’ve got 4 sea days and then at least 1 other port day that we’re not getting off ship.  
Your info is very helpful!!! Thank you!

TIPS

 

4. Not everyone had to be present in order to pick up those vibe passes, they gave me 6 no problem.

 

 

Hi Cookie002....  thank you so much for all of the info for Vibe on the Encore.  We’re on the ship Jan 2021 and are considering getting passes.  In Tip #4 you state that not everyone has to be present.  Was this for getting the tickets or actually paying for the passes?  Do you need everyone’s key card?

Thank you for your help and info!!

Were you able to get Vibe passes?  Or were they sold out?  Have a great cruise!

Does the Vibe & bar stay open on port days, if we want to stay on ship?

I was diagnosed Type 2 diabetic in April of this year. I am on medication and also managing my diabetes with a low-carb diet. I refuse to throw all my hard work to the wind for a vacation, but I also refuse to throw my vacation to the wind for a disease. (Girl has already found some drinks that would be tasty and sugar-free! 🍹🍺🍷)

 

What tips have my fellow cruisers found for cruising with diabetes? In regards to food, how careful do you have to be about hidden sugars in foods?

Can you let me know some of the drinks you have found?  My Mom will be cruising with us and she is diabetic, Type 2.  She loves her wine, but I’m sure she would also like some other alcoholic drinks...  

TIA

6/2/19 sailing on the Bliss. Just got notified that our $300/pp bid to upgrade from a midship balcony (BA) on deck 8 to a spa balcony (B9) on deck 15 was accepted! Since we were getting spa passes anyways, we're pretty excited to have improved our location for what amounts to only $50/pp. 😄

 

(We also put in a $350/pp bid on a spa mini-suite.)

We’re also on 6/2 sailing & We received our Spa Balcony upgrade from midship balcony yesterday too!!!! We bid 325 pp.  I had it at 300 but increased to 325 this past week.  We had also bid 325 pp on Spa mini suite and regular mini suite.  8 days till sailing!! 🤗

8!!!

9...😁
