  1. Hubby and I have done both with and without cheers. We prefer cheers even though it is more than if we went without.  Without Cheers I am very concious of how much I drink and concerned for the bill at the end of the cruise.  The first time with cheers we had such a good time and enjoyed it and the drinks flowed easy.  Now before cheers we would get bubbles and once ordered a bottle for the room and back in our younger days we snuck some on board.  A bottle in the room is more of a pain cause you have to go back and forth.   So now we budget it when we budget for our cruise.   If my hubs did not drink at all.  I think I woul budget it as if we had Cheers and be happy with the money in my pocket.   FYI we more the broke even.

  2. We have enjoyed everything we have done in Cozumel and under the right circumstances would do it all again.  Nachi Cocoum  Mr. Sancho's and Playa Mia were great all inclusive.   Nachi quite and laid back (would do again with just the hubs), Mr. Sancho's a little more party but still family safe (great for traveling with teens), Playa Mia more family children kind of place.  Paradise Beach was our favorite for a few 3 or so trips and is a great place we tried to venture out for the more all inclusive which they have since added and we plan to visit there again. We also did a Jeep excursion around the island when my husband had some health issues and we did not want to hang in the sun all day.  Good thing it rained on and off all day but the sun was our when we stopped to explore.   I would do any of these again. In fact net April has Mr. Sancho's written all over it. 

     

    Happy cruising,

  3. We always aim for 6:00 and yes same time as the early seating but we prefer YTD.

     

    I hate being late but with YTD I am always on time no rushing and no waiting on tablemates to show or be no-shows. We have the experience of being with complainers and not so fun folks who thought since we dined together we were now the BFFs and it seemed like the stalked us. They didn't but always seemed to be where we were. Some folks were great some not so.

     

    We started YTD when our son started cruising with us and it was just easier to do our own thing. When he was older it was one of the best things for us to reflect on our day and plan the next without disturbing or ignoring others. We really seem to connect over those dinners.

     

    Then there is always the port days getting back on board watching the stragglers coming back to the ship at the last second and push off from the pier. Always hated rushing to get ready.

  4. We are sailing the Fantasy for the third time in a couple of months. We sailed her on our honeymoon and now for our twentieth. Love the smaller ships for all the reasons mentioned particularly the morning fantasy class. Love aft lido deck dinning out doors. It's wonderful

  5. I drink like a fish on vacation and don't tend to get hang overs and I even drink lots of sugary cocktails....my tip is I drink a water bottle between each alcoholic beverage and I make sure I am eating all day too....

     

     

    Famof4togo. While I don't drink quite like a fish I have also learned the beauty of a bottle of water between drinks. The last all inclusive waiter got the trick down pat and would bring me a water when asking if I wanted another drink. Got a big tip from me.

     

    Next cruise is the first we will be ordering Cheers and I plan to flush each drink with a bottle of water.

  6. Complete the sentence.

     

    I knew I am addicted to Carnival when I started counting down to my son's HS graduation so I can book cruises anytime with have to think about what to do about him. Hehehe. I fill such a bad parent.

     

    I know I am addicted to Carnival because I am trying to but a value to serenity deck and the piano bar. Two of my favorite things don't know if I want to cruise without them.
