@HaveDogWillTravel The peaches sound delicious! I'm fairly certain we know Jayson. Have a safe drive home!

When we have done short voyages we usually will do them b2b with a longer voyage. Thank you for taking us along! I'll take over tomorrow with my "Live" thread. 🙂

Your answer is in the previous post. Also, mini-suites do have a larger bathroom with a tub/shower enclosure, a 3-cushion sofa bed and two TV's.

No, mini-suites do not qualify for Suite benefits. Sorry...

Same here, as we board the Emerald tomorrow and have quite a few bookings thru the end of 2025. 🙂

We have been to Messina many times, the last time was this past November (we will be there again this November on the Enchanted). It is a quaint town to walk around, a bit hilly in places. My DW's favorite part of town is just a few blocks north of the port. It is a very nice shopping district with many cafe's and restaurants. Also, as you exit the cruise terminal you will find lots of taxi's if you want to take a excursion. We have hired taxi's several times to visit Taormina and Mt Etna.

If I'm not mistaken these amounts are not new, they have been in place for quite some time. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you! Our granddaughter is so excited, she has Abuelo's schedule all planned out!

I'll take one on Thursday after we board. The current DRO (Rui) goes home on Thursday, being replaced by Carlos Marques for two months.

Several folks on our Roll Call reported that they received move-over offers this morning. It will be a FULL ship!

Leo is very interesting, we took him to lunch in Mazatlan last year and heard many great stories! @HaveDogWillTravel Are you saying that a cheese pizza is no longer available via room service? If so, our granddaughter will be very upset next week. 🤥

Having been on several inaugural cruises in the past, we now like to wait a year before trying a new ship.

It doesn't sound like we know them? But, we will be best friends after our Hawaii cruise! 🍷🍷🍷

Enjoy your cruise! Happy 4th of July!

Thanks for doing the "Live." We board on Thursday, are you staying on to Hawaii?
