Only 2 out of 3

So, the story of how the fracture happened. She had one of those heavy, Yeti water bottles that she dropped on her foot. After the tears subsided, she asked her mom. “Who do you think was at fault? Was it you, because you filled up the bottle with water?” After her mom said “No”, she asked. “What about Yeti? Could I sue them for making their bottles too heavy?” I think the girl needs some responsibility lessons. Either that, or she has figured out the ways of the world at an early age.

My granddaughter was in to have her foot x-rayed again, and they say it has a hairline fracture. Not bad enough for a boot, which they thought would cause more problems than it would help. It hasn’t slowed her down much.

They were calling for rain the day we were there, too. The rain did not show up until we had enough of the island, and were already back on the ship in the afternoon. Hope you have a great cruise. A long, six month wait for our next one.

No complaints from me for our 10 day forecast. Not bad for a NW Pennsylvania winter. Anxiously awaiting Phil’s prediction on Friday.

And just look at their drink prices, compared to Royal’s. The plus package was a no brainer for us. I know I will see what I can work my way through. bar-menu-princess-cruises.pdf This is included in plus

Bailey’s would be better, but we never buy the drink package. Rarely drink more than our voucher allotment.

That’s why I bring a bottle of Carmel along.

I guess she has made some arrangements.

Last one we did with them was 2017, but we are booked on the new Sun next January. Their inaugural was supposed to be on 2/4, sailing the Med, but it got cancelled because the ship wouldn’t be completed. Royals prices were way to high, and we could get the new ship with all included, much less than Oasis.

Last time, we went to Coco Beach Club, but those prices are pretty high now. At least it had a heated pool. We usually hang out at Harbor Beach. It is pretty close to food venues. Water there, and in the Oasis pool may be a little cool. I think they need to update their map on the island to show the new adult places.

Thanks for that. My daughter did a lot of research before their first trip there, and did the genie+ and lightning lanes. I know I will be picking her brain for recommendations. I think with so many days there, and park hopper passes for those days, we will see what we want. Plus, we will just take some time to enjoy the resort. Found these in the wedding book, and wondered if they are still good. 🤣🤣

We were on Allure this month. We did Symphony, then the beach house for the holidays after that cruise, then Allure. Needed one more point to bump us up to D+, so we figured as long as we were in Florida, why not.

It appears I have my Disney research cut out for me. After talking about our post Utopia cruise plans, we thought we would try something different than staying at the Portofino hotel at Universal. Since we took our grandson there last summer, his mom and dad took him to the one in California last Thanksgiving, and they plan on going again in March. With three Universal trips for him, Disney seemed like a better option. So now we are booked for seven days at the Wilderness lodge. We have park hopper passes, and many of the meals included, but now I have to find out about booking times, genies, and all those other good things. It was so much easier years ago.

Looks like a nice cruise, Graham. That food makes me hungry.

Are you getting paper cruise compasses? Once onboard & connected to the ship wifi, use this link… https://minio.rccl.com/compass/cruisecompass.pdf That should give you the daily Cruise Compass in PDF form and you can save them to your phone or iPad.

Good to see they downsized to 10 oz cans. Those 12 oz ones were getting heavy. 😂

This may be the one you are thinking of, although this diagram is from Anthem. I had downloaded it while looking at cabins for that ship. It shows the double Davits in front of Harry’s cabin.

Congratulations on your 25th Anniversary. We will be celebrating ours on our Utopia cruise this summer, although it is a bigger number than yours. Don’t know how I missed seeing these on Symphony or Allure. I am pretty sure I visited Starbucks more than once. Maybe I was singularly focused on getting a latte if the machine in the Crown lounge was not ready.

Yeah, but that is adults (18+) only. No kids in that area.

That looks mighty shallow.

That sucks to have that at the end of a nice cruise. Me, I would be looking at booking another cruise just to get rid of some stress. At least you have one booked, and sailing soon. Let us know on Dani’s thread if you do a live from VV.

Realized I hadn’t posted a wildlife photo for a while. We finally had a couple nice days to get out for a walk. Ten miles today. Saw a few of these.

I had chicken Pad Thai, so no tails on it Susan had shrimp fried rice, and no tails there, either. I am slowly working my way through their huge menu. Everything so far has been pretty good.

Yes, Princess line, but a new ship we booked for next year, because it was so much less than Oasis.
