  1. Glad to hear this has returned to normal. We had what appeared to have had some sort of bite after Roatan, but they didnโ€™t itch and they disappeared with a day.
  2. We also got our points. Not that it matters but Lisa and I are at 486, with 30 Oasis Class, 2 on Freedom Class and 3 on Radiance Class. Weโ€™ve sailed 44 times, with 9 on Princess and the rest on RC. Owen has done 20 sailings, with 279 actual points. 19 were with RC and one on Princess. We should now pat each other on our backs. Itโ€™s tough. ๐Ÿ˜‚
  3. It's only butter, now that lighthouse cookie was another thing. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I never went back to see if the butter photos are still there. They were just cookies. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚
  4. As I was putting my final thoughts together it make me think of the ending of a classic 80s movie, The Breakfast Club. Dear Cruise Critic Members. We accept the fact that we had to survive a whole week on a cruise during Spring Break. But we thought you're crazy to make us write a review, telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us - in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that one of us is a flow rider and story tellerโ€ฆanother is a great organizer with Lady Luck on her side...one is the keeper of Bella and master vintner...and the last is a great documentarian and expert of bourbon. What we have in common, is a life long friendship. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Bella Club.
  5. We have been home for a few days and want to wrap up our householdโ€™s final thoughts. We had an amazing time this cruise. Every cruise is typically amazing, but this time it wasnโ€™t just the ship, the ports, the shows, that made it that way. It was the people we were with. When I booked this cruise on March 7th of 2021 who knew that years later that it would be more than we expected. I have become virtual friends with many here on CC over the years from my live reviews. Being a part of The Daily Thread started by @dani negreanu and The Friends of Bell page started by @John&LaLa brought more of us closer together. A two year build up from booking to sailing certainly did help. This review wasnโ€™t like one of my regular reviews, because it was so more than that. I have to thank my fellow reviewers and โ€œguestโ€ contributors that were on board the ship. Greg, John, Sue and I โ€œtalkedโ€ for multiple weeks before the sailing, to give this review direction. It just wasnโ€™t one of us, it was all of us. We worked together and I was the fortunate one to take it live. It felt like we did it all; from limoncello tasting, to a slot pull, the Schooner Bar nightly, reported Owen sightings about the ship, a final farewell to a loved one, and the Quest just to name a few. That was over and above ports of call, joint meals and random meet-ups around the ship. Thank-you for those that read at home, to those who posted from the ship and my fellow live reviewers, who were just as live as me. I also want to thank our four legged friend Bella. Give that pup a chin rub John, and some ice cream. She is the one that brought us all together, and she has no idea of what she accomplished. She has made us all friends for life.
  6. From reading what some have said, Iโ€™m glad we pre-booked our Uber. From leaving our cabin to the airport it took us 30 minutes. The Genie walk-off might have played a small part, but the Uber driver showing up and on time was an equally important part of it too.
