We always stay at Moody Gardens when we cruise out of Galveston.  If you decide to stay with them, go ahead and book it now.  Wonderful property!

Sorry I cannot help with the shuttle information as we always drive to the port -- we drive from Oklahoma and park directly across from where we board (so convenient)!

Thank you...Following...

Thank you very much!

Following!  Thank you!  September.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much -- you hit the key points in your report that we had questions about...!

Following...We leave July 20 Southern Caribbean out of FLL!

Loved our aft JS on the Liberty OTS...that wake will lull you into some very sweet dreams! Excellent!

We loved Bernard's Tour in St. Maarten; definitely worth choosing one of his packages. We did the rum tour in Puerto Rico.

Enjoyed your review -- thanks!

Replenish! Fresh squeezed OJ, specialty coffees, and cold bottled water -- every once in a while we go with virgin cocktails. Overall, we make the most of the replenish package and many times more than what is charged per day.

Thank you for the review, appreciated it!

Excellent review! Looking forward to more...thank you very much!:)

These folks are excellent!

Thank you very much -- truly appreciate your review!

Very interested in Athens -- well actually -- ALL of the ports. Please do enjoy your trip. My daughter and I are currently discussing a Mediterranean cruise! Thank you!

These shirts are great, who designed the logos in each one?

 

We chose from their (Clothesline) collection! You may have a company locally that does t-shirts. :)

Too funny, gotta have a skeptic, they always have something interesting to say and become entertainment when they "see the light"!

 

Where did you order your tshirts for your reunion? Do you have a photo?

 

Here is a sample of one land reunion shirt - and - two sea reunion shirts! We have shirts dated back to the early 90's and they have not faded so these folks have excellent products.

 

I wish you all the best and I KNOW you will have a phenomenal time...happy travels...A Family that travels together... :)

We used these folks: http://www.clothesline.net/

 

I will upload pix for you tomorrow morning (Saturday)! :)

Oops, I forgot to add -- Most definitely, use a travel agent! :)

Just to provide a little encouragement, the skeptics in our family that did the most kicking and screaming when we first started family reunion cruises several years ago, are the ones that look forward to them the most now! :) Our reunions are every other year...land...sea...land...sea.

 

Last year was a cruise on the Oasis, next year will be land - Washington DC!

 

We've sailed Sovereign (twice), Liberty, and the Oasis!

 

We do the MDR together for dinner, encouraging those interested to do the specialty restaurants if they so desire; we pick a port to do an entire family excursion together; we pick a venue on the ship to participate in together (i.e. trivia, flowrider, etc.) and finally, we pick a family meeting time and place to decide our next family reunion.

 

No pressure on anyone seems to work wonders. Oh yes, we decide what day(s) to wear the reunion t-shirt and even the ones that grumble about the color chosen for that particular year have to grudgingly admit they are totally proud to wear the shirts and enjoy themselves.

 

Good luck, I wish you the greatest success. Remember it all seems chaotic in the making and results in memories that will last a lifetime! :)

Definitely 2, even if it isn't a B2B. Luv luv luv the planning -- the idea of experiencing 2 ships in the same year is outstanding! I'm employed full-time. I love the whole process of traveling even the hassle, hustle and bustle! :p

We received a towel with the logo.

:) :) :) Don't tempt me. We are so heartsick when we leave them - Manly & Bobo (both Chihuahuas) get left with the vet. Believe it or not, they love him and his staff so that makes it much easier. They definitely lose weight while we are gone AND they need to. They are so spoiled. We are very grateful that our vet boards -- what could be safer than this...

Thank you very much Denise. You have the talent for making me believe I'm right there on the cruise with you. Your reviews are helping me to cope with the waiting...waiting...waiting, at least I'm less than 90 days now until I embark on the Oasis!

 

AND, I'll be looking forward to your review of the November Repo :)
