We lucked out on the double points promotion.  15 days total in suites - 60 points.  Gold to diamond in 2 cruises.

Setting the app for the current sailing, day 7, at 11PM Derek Richards and Nery Saenz are listed (18+ comedy). Granted, it's listed in the main theater, but I assume it's same show you normally would get in the Attic.

Actually was not the same show.  We saw both last month.  The Attic show was much more “interactive”.

On her last month, was able to book the adult comedy show in the Attic through the app.  Was available in the app under Daily Planner beginning of April for my May cruise.

Left in my room by an on line friend on the sailing before ours.  So cute and a nice welcome aboard surprise!  I think the ducks are fun.  If you don’t agree Grumpy, just leave them alone.  A good sharp slap on the hand should discourage those pesky grandchildren.

Lots of replies, thank you.  I was interested, as an adult, because they offer similar classes out in the community, so I was wondering if this would comparable.  And, save the money in gas, and take it on the ship.

 

Got some thinking to do, as well as 125 days.

 

I would think classes in your community would be a much better option.  I took a 4 week class at our local Michael’s from Wilton (national decorating equipment company) that cost little more than this 1 hour class & was very extensive.  I actually made my son’s wedding cake with the training I received.  In a one hour class, you’ll learn to fill & hold a pastry bag & how to use a couple of basic tips.  Kid’s birthday party stuff.

Check you local grocery store.  They often do free decorating classes or can arrange one as a birthday party.  Really just grab a decorating kit at a hobby store & watch a few YouTube videos.  

My son tells me to order a fresh pie.  Tastier,  of course I am a pizza addict and have never met one so bad I won’t eat it😊

The way dd tells it (she's 13 so grain of salt needed) she was met with one of the ice show "captains" or leaders who then called the Safety Team.  That team was asking a number of questions she identified as "investigating" the incident. 

 

Maybe that was the official accident report? 

Your daughter was hurt on the cruise and your parents haven’t been in contact with you to answer these questions?  Were they not with her when you picked her up from a nearby parking lot?  Heck my grandson threw up on CocoCay and his parents got a full report of the incident as soon as we disembarked.

Great idea about the mock booking!!  The sq ft remains the same for both J3 and J4.  It must be that some cabins have a sofa and others a sofa bed??  Thanks, everyone!! 😎

Try J2 to J3.  We had a J2 on Harmony and the only difference was the sofa did not pull out into a bed.

How did you attach these dog tags to your children?

Staples!!!!😁😁

Riding public transportation in Bermuda is the best!  Get a pass & jump on. We had a blast interacting with the locals especially the school kids.  Also gives you access to the ferries.

Oh yes, I assumed (idiot!) you meant actual deck plans.  That website is great!

We’ve been running the bedroom AC for a couple weeks cuz I like to sleep in a meat locker but the family room one just went in today & I don’t really need it yet.

BTW, we had a JS for 3 on Explorer last October, not that big.

Open the app, click on the fork & spoon 

click on a specialty restaurant

Check out cruise deck plans, looks like quite a big difference 🤗. 

06511?  New Haven area?  06082 here!

Deck plans can be deceiving.  If you do a mock booking for 2 then for 4, does the sq ft change?

I always buy or now receive free my boarding day pic. I have them back to my first cruise in 1980 on Sitmar. Only missing a couple, which are probably somewhere in a box. It shows ports of call. Check those if you have, but might be a good idea going forward to get one.

This is the only picture I always buy.  Who, what, when, where!

Did he request that his room only be serviced once a day?

As a matter of fact yes, he did tell Carl, his wonderful cabin steward not to bother with the night service but Carl always sought him out to be sure he didn’t need anything and to leave a friend.

My brother, first time cruiser, was shocked at having twice a day service (JS) “why do I need them to clean my room twice?  Who needs that?”    I think we are spoiled.

You won’t know for sure until you board so then what?  2 bottles of your favorite is better than none.

If there is something you particularly want, I would suggest carrying it on board with you.  1 bottle allowed per adult.  

Ran very smoothly on Harmony in May.  As I have posted before, we had reservations for each night and were just waved in to our table.  Last night we waited about 10 minutes.

This is why you have a TA.  They do the leg work for you.  Call & let them handle it.

My grandson, then 10, spend the entire day in the wave pool in between eating cheeseburgers & mozzarella sticks.  As we were leaving about 3, he looks at me & turns green.  Wonderful attendant said “right behind those bushes sweetheart.  We’ll clean it up.”  Then got him a wet towel & a cup of ginger ale to sip on.  Poor kid.  Of course 2 hours later he was stuffing his face again!  Ah to be young!

His twin nieces did something almost as bad as toddlers.   In public, they'd take off their clothes and run laughing in opposite directions.  Their mother started using Duck Tape on their clothes.  

My cousin used to do that.  My aunt would put her out in the front porch when she was having a tantrum.  Adorna would strip naked & Aunt Mary would come running with a bath towel.  We thought it was genius and hysterical!

We paid $24.99 in Feb 2020 and wondered if that was a good price 😳😳
