Bravo Doug! Great review. My husband and I will do our best to live up to your legacy when we board 3 weeks from today. Safe travels and PLEASE do another review like this on your next cruise. CHEERS!

This is great. Getting more and more excited for our Escape cruise in 4 weeks!

I do the marbles in jars to track my loss and weight to go too! I am on Weight Watchers and weigh in Friday mornings. I am always excited when I can come home and move some marbles to the loss jar! Happy to say there are less marbles in the weight to lose jar now! I have 16 marbles left in that jar. I cruise mid January but don't expect to be at goal by then. At least I am going to be around 40 pounds lighter than I was over the summer! Feeling good and ready to have fun but make good food choices this cruise and get at least 6 activity points a day....I will have one "food splurge" a day, it is vacation after all! I figure I will get home on a Saturday and have almost a whole week until my next weigh in to hopefully not see a gain on the scale or only a small one :)

Lifetime WW member here, well lapsed lifetimer. Hit lifetime back in 2009 but gained back almost 50 of the 70 I lost after a family death. Back to WW August 1st before we even planned our cruise for January. As of today I am down 31.8 pounds, 15.2 to go till goal. Hoping to lose another 8 to 10 pounds before our cruise but just happy to keep losing consistently. Hoping to make better food choices this cruise than others. But will splurge with a "treat" each day if something really catches my fancy. Figure if all my other choices are good one splurge won't hurt me too much. Drink of choice will be Captain Morgan and Diet Coke to try and keep calories down on the drink side. Love them and only have them on cruises so don't feel I am depriving myself. Will still have a margarita in Mexico, necessary!

I have the Activelink which is great keeping me on point with exercise/activity. All the walking on the ship and stairs will contribute a lot to my daily Activelink goal. I plan on walking a mile around the track a few times a day as a break from just laying on the lounger all day and to get some activity points!

You can only get cruise cash for bar or photo only now. We did the bar and it was available immediately. We bought carnival gift cards to supplement.

Not true, I bought Cruise Cash last night. The type for any expense, not bar or photo.

I would love it if the volume of music on the Lido was turned down. It is SO loud you can't even have a conversation. I only noticed this in the past year or two. Used to be my favorite place to hang on a sea day but now it's unbearable. Not because of the music being played but because of the volume at which it is played!
