  1. Jumping on board to enjoy another Live! This looks like a great cruise and moving up to a Sky Suite along the way…. Wow! We enjoyed a Sky Suite on Edge back in the day and it was outstanding! Love the window between the bathroom and inside the cabin. Take advantage of the Retreat! I have to say I really like the infinity balcony too. Also, glad to hear about your Japan cruise since we will be joining DaKahuna in Japan. Safe travels! Cheers!
  2. Signing on to follow! Will be interesting to read your thoughts vs Celebrity. We have that Caribbean sailing for 30 days this winter and then Japan next May all on Celebrity. Looking for alternatives going forward. Bet you wont get the lemon tarts on this sailing! 😂 Thanks again for posting! Cheers!
  3. Looks like no other local beer since you are heading out. Next time. Cheers!
  4. Enjoy your trip! Will be following along. We just returned from England. Spent 14 days sailing the Mediterranean then back to Southampton to go up to Wigginton just outside of London for 10 days visiting friends. We actually lived the local life! Small village with a great pub. If you try another beer try Side Pocket. A local beer from Tring. British Airways Business class is outstanding! Wouldn’t fly to Europe any other way. We sailed Apex this past winter in the Caribbean and enjoyed it. We love the Edge class. Cheers!
  5. Thank you for taking the time to share a live! Knowing the time it takes after doing one, I really appreciate it! Your shared experiences were outstanding! Until next time! Cheer!
  6. This is great! We believe in the same thinking. we took our Nephew ( God Child) on a cruise for his birthday. It was delayed a year because of Covid but still it was just a plus one. We have no children so the Nephews and Niece get spoiled a bit. Introducing them to the wonders and adventures of the world is fun! Cheers!
  7. @DaKahuna, funny they were able to find a bar open in town on a Sunday with stores closed. Priorities! 🍸 🥂 🍺 😂 Cheers!

  9. I looked into booking this excursion when we are there next month and it was full. Looking for alternatives, but I must say your photos show 2 very medieval towns. The scaffolding in the one church a shame but you never know what will be there when you arrive. Have to keep the buildings standing! 😄 Your overall thoughts of the day and what you saw? Cheers!
  10. Jumping on board to enjoy another live! We will be sailing next month for 14 days on Royal out of Southampton. You say you have a countryside tour in Rome ( Civitavecchia ) did you use a private tour company. We stop there and have no interest in Rome since we have been there 3 times. Looking for a private excursion. Thanks and safe sailing with the Queen! 👑 Cheers!
  11. We sailed on Equinox this past winter for 19 nights and Reflection for 14 nights. We never eat in the MDR, Tuscan has always been our MDR. We have sailed these ships many times and have to say that the quality of Tuscan and I will include Murano have gone down. With that said I alway say that food is subjective. What works for one doesn’t always work for the other. I would say go for the experience and make your personal judgement. I would make one suggestion, it those with you are meat eaters, I would pay the $15 up charge for the better New York Strip. It was well worth it. We were with friends from Texas ( meat Eaters) that didn’t upgrade and wished they did. Cheers!
  12. @xpcdoojk would you do me a favor? As said we will be on Anthem June 23rd and haven’t sailed Royal in a while. Would you ask a bartender what the cost of a double Toto’s is on the rocks. On celebrity it fell within the $ limit on the drink plan. Wondering if it falls within the Diamond Plus vouchers that we will have. really appreciate it! Cheers!
  13. Following along, will be on Anthem June 23rd for 14 day Med cruise. Have sailed Anthem when she first set sail. Interested to hear your thoughts on the ship now. Take the block! We have two and enjoy having them. Not sure why you have to fill out paperwork. Ours just showed up. Cheers!
  14. We will be joining you on the May 2nd 2024 sailing. We are in Aqua A1 and they are sold out now. 🤞🏻 Cheers!
  15. WE spent 14 days on Reflection this past March. We have sailed Reflection 3 times and also Silhouette 3 times. I would sail Silhouette before I would sail Refection. Just for some reason we walked off Reflection saying we think it’s the last time we will sail on her. We enjoyed Refection last year for 14 days but the Reflection vibe just had changed. But each persons experience is their own. Like food very subjective. Cheers!
  16. @DaKahuna Will be following you this time! Would like to ask if you could give us a feel for the condition of the ship since its revitalization. We will be sailing her next May around Japan and would appreciate the info. Have an outstanding cruise! Relax and absorb the time! Cheers!
  17. Late to the conversation on 43, but it is a fantastic drink. I found out that Celebrity carried it over our winter cruises. A double every night before turning in. Mmmmmmm! Just a comment on service, we sailed Equinox Reflection and Beyond all B2B Side to side this winter. We found the bar service on Beyond was the worse. As was said they could stock the bar or as we called them “swoopers”. They would come by swoop up your empty glass and not ask can I get you something else. Reflection and Equinox was fantastic! Not sure the attitude or training on the E class ships. I will say however the Retreat on Edge, when she came out, wasn’t bad. Cheers!
  18. Well said, we do not do cruise tours because I always say the only person I’ll wait for in a bathroom break is my DW! Cheers!
  19. Wow! I am so glad you met Carol and Andy. A great couple we cruise with and will be in Japan with next May! Sorry for the pics I shared, all I had at the time but it does express your great personalities! The pic they sent us of you guys is a lot better! 😂 Cheers!
