ALSPAUGHDOLL

I would pick Mardi Gras, it is truly an amazing ship. We are sailing to Nassau this summer, we plan on staying on the ship. There is truly nothing better than a port day on the ship, it is so relaxing!

On the Mardi Gras I had the most amazing Peach Sangria at the Serenity Bar. It was amazing!

We are headed out of Port Canaveral this summer, we are arriving early and have a full day to spend on the beach. We will have 6 teenagers with us, ages 16-19. What is the best beach for us to hang out at for a day. They will probably want access to food and perhaps some shopping but most importantly they want the water. With 6 teenagers we will probably want access to adult beverages!😄

I didn't even think of that! I am not fussy though, you will find me sitting on the side of the pool talking to anyone that will talk to me!

Oh no that doesn't sound good. This is more than just a dry dock for the Venezia. I am probably overthinking all of this.

I am super excited to be sailing on the Venezia on June 19th. This will be the 2nd sailing after coming out of dry dock, I have started to think about the many times I have read about ships being delayed coming out of dry dock. I am hopefully overthinking all of this. However, there are still a lot of delays in product and labor shortages and I don't think it is that crazy of a worry. This will be the 4th summer in a row we have taken a handful of extra kids on a summer vacation and this will more than likely be the last summer we do it as the kids start graduating this year. I am sure we could switch gears if we needed to but I would be so sad if we had to. Any thoughts/experiences?

I just took 4 bonus kids on the Mardi Gras. I found a letter on here and had the parents complete and notarize it. I am so glad we did. They were hard core when we checked in. The lady checking us in was a bit intense. She took the letters to someone I assume their manager, she checked all our documents about 100x's. I still don't know if we "needed" them but I sure am glad I had them.

You have a way of writing that makes me want to beg for more!! I love your humor!! We board the Mardi Gras June 18th. I can't wait!

I have an almost 15 and 17 year old. We just sailed in April. I let them roam together freely this trip with clear expectations that they don't allow anyone into our cabin and they don't go into other cabins. They have never been big fans of the kids club, even when they were little. I think it all depends on the kid. I was comfortable when they were younger allowing them to go get ice cream and come right back probably when they were 10/12 but always together.

I love Amber Cove. I won't lie we just hang out at the pool, but it has always been a very nice break for us. We have been 4 times now. I always want to do the 27 waterfall excursion but even my teens love the pool day and always decide they would prefer it. One of these days we will do 27 waterfalls with Iguana mama!

I love this!! I started my leadership career with Target, I have long since moved on. I love the comment about November -January, I stress out just thinking about it!

I can't wait to read your review. We are on the June 18th sailing!

I agree, and I seriously hope I am wrong. But the water temp was the same everyday and we never saw a pool or hot tub drained.

I thought so too, but on our last Horizon trip, I don't think the water was changed at all 🤢. I even heard someone that was doing a B2B say it hadn't been changed the week prior. I don't want to spread false info but it didn't always look very clean!
