yes! thank you lol - afraid to mention specifics; CC always seems to know when I'm referencing that other site and they'll delete my post 😠

No, this is a specific Alchemy group.

Alchemy has gotten crazy in the last few years...a group over on that other site was started and they just made it crazy popular, giving out pins and selling merch. And heads up anyone on the Horizon July 22. They are doing a group cruise. Those bartenders will need a vacation after that one.😜

If I have laundry I always call housekeeping so they at least come get that so I get it back in the evening.

Yeah I had booked it long ago because Russia was on the itinerary, which got switched out for Estonia. Oh well, still good.

So Pride now has the big movie screen, instead of that tiny one down by the pool? Cool. I'm betting she'll get the new livery colors too.

Love that itinerary, but looks exhausting lol. I'll be on mid June, and like that we have some sea days sprinkled in the middle there. Although I might be most excited for London - got a ticket to the Warner Bros. Harry Potter studio tour.🎇😊 Bet they are adding something from the Fascination that was scrapped last year. Love when they do that.

Are you flying to the port? I'm certified but haven't dove in years, but I know you shouldn't fly the next day, so if the scuba is the last day...or maybe someone can chime in, if a shallow discover scuba dive even brings this issue into play?

Yes, and its nice because it checks you in 36 hrs prior to your flight instead of the 24 hrs when you check in yourself.

Sweet. I'm on the Luminosa 30 day Seattle to Brisbane and there is a gentleman who booked a suite and is also using his milestone credit...got like 5 figures in OBC. Do you mind sharing how to get some of that home? I only seem to read where they won't let you. I'm about 10 cruises away from 50 so gotta take notes lol. :)

You could run into a problem because its an Australian cruise. I had the same wish last year - changed my mind on Australia B2B I had put deposits on and wanted to transfer the funds to a US cruise, but because it was Australian $ to US$ they wouldn't do it. I couldn't understand that at all - deposit was paid in US, it is listed on the US website, not .au and I would have to pay balance in US. Still no (and I am diamond.) So I just moved it a bunch of months out and now I'm going to Australia next year. 😜

ooh, the ladies at Bar 820 do a nice espresso martini. mmmm.😁

Love Jason, when I cruised he was working Golden Jubilee. Good drinks over there too - loved the drink menu - more old school. Looking forward to more!😊

sorry double post

It all sounds awesome, great ports! I can't remember if you've mentioned it...do you snorkel? If so, Woodwind Bonaire is good. You can walk to their office from the port, down the street to the right. https://www.woodwindbonaire.com/ We got a day pass for Aruba, nice resort. https://www.shoreexcursioneer.com/aruba/barcelo-resort-day-pass-all-inclusive.html We snorkeled in Curacao too, really good if you're interested, had a driver take us to Playa Lagun. (She only takes minimum of 4 tho sorry.) Then had lunch there at the Bahia Beach Bar up above. https://www.bahia-apartments.com/ Curacao is a great port for walking too - head off the ship to the right and like someone mentioned you can walk thru a shopping area/small fort and across the floating bridge into town. When you come back to the ship, there are vendors set up along the walkway, you can grab a last minute beer. :) Playa Lagun Beach Bar up the stairs Local brew...

Love your reviews! Looking forward to more. :)

I like it - kinda like a 60s groovy vibe.

I love how you vacation - its awesome 😂

I used to try to leave reviews, but for whatever reason, they would get rejected - and I couldn't see anything that seemed bad, and they won't tell you the reason it was rejected. So I gave up after it happened a few times.

Sometimes I'll order the fresh flowers for my cabin as a treat. 🌼

That's cool. I know when people ask for menus and stuff I'll direct them your way. :)

Normally I don't want to sit hours to save seats, but this time we did camp out most of the day on Lido, rotating to go get food, etc. Such a fun vibe, and close to Blue Iguana. :)

Love quiet nooks to read in. This ship looks really cool. Might be time to branch out - loyal to Carnival but they are losing me with solo cruising being so popular and they continue to ignore us.

hey Sid try booking a hotel in Cocoa Beach, lots more shops, restaurants, and a fun bar out on the Cocoa Beach Pier. I usually stay at the Best Western right near the pier. Not fancy, but clean and beach access right out their parking lot. Sunrise on the beach...ah, vacation has started...😊 Then its just a quick Uber ride to the ship. https://www.cocoabeachpier.com/dining/rikki-tiki-tavern/
