Hi Lotomis, we Have to be neighbors!!!!!!!!!!!:D It can't figure out if it wants to rain here or not, and unhappy with the Phillies game today!!!!!!!!!

To answer your question, there is a site out here that makes it easy to find unbooked rooms, maybe someone can help as I would like it too. What I do is go through the process of booking a cruise on line and when it comes to picking your cabin, it tells you which ones are left in that catagory. Sometimes green lights blink, then I'll do to another catagory and see what is left there. It is time consuming. But I think there is a simplier way, Anyone know?:confused:

If you have more than one carry on each, one large suitcase each, and share a garmet bag, for ANY lenght of cruise, you are definetly overpacking!!!:eek: We usually pack the above for 12 to 14 nighters, and I never wear everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

Don't forget the fishing pole, we actually saw that one!!!!!!!!!!:D

i also get the rash too, cortisone cream really helps, plus i also have called room service for a large bag of ice and 3 extra pillows............:D

my legs, feet and ankles get so swollen on every cruise, nothing really helps but an asprin and a benadryl several times a day along with wearing support hose and elevating my legs. i've learned to leave home all the cute shoes because they don't fit by day two, i found a pair of dress shoes with stretchy straps for formal nights, and velcro adjustable sandals that don't look too bad. it must be the salt in the food and water, ice. i thought it was just me.:eek:

for about 100.00, or so, you can reserve any celebrity/ rccl sailing within three years. you may get up to 300.00 on board credit by open booking on your cruise. you do not have to select a ship or sailing date, certificate is good for 3 years. great deal.............:)

Thanks Dawn, the more I read, the more confused I get! I guess that means I really need a cruise :) Looking forward to meeting you soon!

Now I'm totally confused and we had the classic alcohol pkg in May where tips were included upon purchase of the pkg.

Have they changed it to add 15% at the end of the cruise so all your drinks will be included? 12 drinks, coffees, sodas, waters per day equals more tip money than 6 drinks per day.

We have had the classic package and it does not cover room service drinks. We just went to a bar, and returned to our cabin with drink in hand. It was no big deal, and the little walk helped to work off all those passion fruit daiquaries. Depending on what your definition of a smoothie is, fruit juice, ice and milk, the classic pkg should cover it. If the coffee is $8.00 or under, it is also included.

We sailed on the Summit back in May and bought the Classic package in advance. We loved the ease of ordering anything we wanted and usually ordered blender drinks, Malibu and Coke, or Baileys over ice. We also loved that we could get water or soda, for shore times, or our room. It was fun trying different drinks, and having a drink at the shows, at dinner, at the pool, or taking back to our balcony. We are not big drinkers, but as we were celebrating our 41st anniversary, we went for it, and would do it again. But do be aware that the drinks are very weak, we managed to maintain a light buzz, but never got drunk, or sick even though we were drinking between 8 and 12 drinks each per day!

We are not big wine or beer drinkers, we had fun with it and hope this helps. As for sharing a package, this will not work for long, Believe me, they know! After a few days, we didn't have to even show our card, they know!
