In the 3 days, we fly to NOLA

Boarding the Dream in 4 days!! Celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary

After cruise stay at a haunted Airbnb... and planning to eat as much gumbo and shrimp as we can manage. The smorgasbord on the cruise should stretch out our digestive system appropriately...

You're not able to use Cheers at HMC. I have a drink calculator on my blog that may help you. http://www.love2cruise.org/drink-packages/

This calculator makes me feel in need of an intervention...:o:o

Totally worth it for my husband and myself! And plus I like knowing it's already payed for... no outrageous bar tabs at the end of our cruise! [emoji4]

DITTO.

The last thing I want to worry about on the ship is a ballooning bar bill. That peace of mind makes the program worth it!

We usually leave the ship with under $100 on our s/s account

Bigger question: Where on board do I purchase the illusive $49 beverage??

Maybe I should have changed the text to some neon color and a huge font, but even then, it is still not live, it is a recorded video

That would be helpful, thanks! lol I mistook your post for a pic, not a video. Just a click away from the truth.

My bad on saying live instead of video... anyway I posted in haste about the story. It's just crazy... must be a good story behind this one

Live action of the damage

Bombay sapphire on ice with a lemon wedge.

uhm, this but with lime. LOVE Bombay sapphire...:cocktail:

Or I add club soda if I need to slow down

Yay..time seems to go faster when we hit double digits. We have 30 days left and I can hardly wait.

See you onboard! :cool:

• A girl around ten years old also shared something new with me. She said if you hold down the button for the deck you want on the elevator, it will skip all other deck stops. This seemed a little evil so I didn't try it but I guess if you're in a hurry...
  

This wins Tip of the Day!!! :evilsmile:

BUMP!

I am also curious about the wine list in the steakhouse. And I am THRILLED to know we are able to access the bar here without a reservation for dining! Especially if I can get an elevated glass of wine to take with me to the MDR!

I am so hungry right now. This thread is not helping...

I look forward to trying the smoke oysters in the Steakhouse. This is our first reservation there; after seeing the new menu, I am ready!

AND of course I can't wait to get my remedies at the Alchemy Bar!!!

Just off the Breeze 7-Day cruise to Cozumel, Belize and Roatan.

 

Here is a link to the MDR menus:

Wonderful! Thanks so much! :)

Did you try the Ox Tongue?

Oh, and the ad pop ups were a pain, but probably pushed by photobucket.

As of this post, I have 216 days, 3 hours until we sail out on the Dream as well. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

We will be on the same cruise! (Counting down to "one-derland")

It will be my first trip to NOLA as well. Preparing my appetite... :p

I like the option to take a nap right after eating lunch, so I need access to my room asap.

We are night owls, usually have a difficult time sleeping in the best of travel circumstances. Sure, we arrive the day before departure. However, after a day of arriving ungodly early to a packed airport, transferring at least once, usually twice, waiting for luggage... you'd think I would crash the night before. I am usually too pumped up, excited and not ready to sit after a day on airliners. Plus, I cant always count on making it there the day before; we have had delays that bring us in on a red eye the following morning (most of these experiences I have blocked from memory).

So, planning on boarding early usually means a gluttonous lunch and then finally passing out like a toddler to get a good rest before muster and sailaway.

Do the 12 pack boxes need to be opened at embarking?

I've rented a car before and after out of Miami from National, and shuttled to and from the cruise port from the rental center

I agree to look for discount codes. You can save a ton

We were on the Inspiration in December for a 3 day cruise and yes, night 2 was formal

We use a batter operated tealight candle. It provides just enough light for the middle of the night visits.

Brilliant!

Thank you for the idea. So simple!

I am going on her April 29-May 6th and I CAN'T WAIT! I was on RCL Freedom May last year and I wanted my hubby to go on CCL this time around so he can see which one he likes better. I have been on Conquest a few years ago and liked it. I am not partial to one line over the other. My hubs might be though. But we will only do cruises when school is in and NOT on spring break or any other break.

We're on the same itinerary. I have also been on RCL Freedom, an on CCL Breeze 2 years ago. Apples and oranges....

I can't wait! It will be my first NOLA departure

I managed to get the FTTF for my cruise in Sept. For me getting to my cabin early to drop off all carry on baggage and not standing in line on embarkation is worth it. Guest service lines are usually long also. I'm on vacation and the last thing I want to do is stand in line especially with a bad knee. For me, the benefits outweigh the cons.

Amen!

One lengthy wait at Guest Services makes the option 'worth it'.

Of course, I have the patience of a 2 year old, so there's that... ;p

Chill, you will have your luggage from the airline, no reason to carry it. BTW, if you do carry it, it must fit through the security scanners, so must be carry on size.

^^^^ THIS! It has to fit through the scanner.

We have twice purchased FTTF and had most of our luggage within a couple of hours. One of our bags was separated but we located it later.

One more important question- do I need to pack my own hair dryer?

I board the Inspiration on Friday! Also a weekend getaway-

You wouldn't by chance have shot a picture of the wine list?

Did you try the Alchemy bar?

I absolutely LOVED the Turtle Farm in Grand Cayman

What made the excursion awesome was snorkeling in the private lagoon WITH the turtles. It was a wonderful way to introduce my teen daughter to snorkeling and had a lovely beach area.

If you book the excursion, make sure to purchase the option that INCLUDES snorkeling.

I had the same issue with my upcoming trip.

Because the same error occurred last year and I had no issue checking in, I don't think it's a problem.

I can only imagine they would want to know where people are staying in the event of an emergency event at the hotel? no idea...

OMGoodness, I LOVE your bling-y neck tie! Fabulous!
