island lady

Oasis class...but not sure which one. The boardwalk balconies look different.

We went for two weeks without power when we lived on Merritt Island during hurricane in 2004, was either Jeanne or Francis can't remember which one. Lots of overhead lines and trees on the island that combined themselves in heap. 🤕

Beat me to it. 😉

I think it will be a fun party on our Wonder TA. 🙂 Love checking out the participants with their creative costumes.

Me neither...though I think we will get a bit more rain...like we need that! 😮 Funny thing about living in the swamp though...you would think we would have flooding problems...but all that swamp mud seems to be sucking it in. 😄 And the Frogs were singing all night long. So far the Alligators are not roaming about through the back yard...so far anyway. This guy bumped into our bird feeder a few months ago.

Already have our costumes (one bought/one homemade) packed for our Wonder party. 🙂

We are just outside Port Canaveral. Lots of rain, and some tropical force winds overnight. Some branches down, but amazingly never lost power. Sooo I guess that large jar of peanut butter, the cans of cooked chicken, and the ever trusty...never expires...can of Spam is safe from consumption for now. 😄 And my Sauvignon Blanc was nice and chilled last night. Did get into our beef jerky we bought, and the homemade bread I made though. 😉

We were very...very lucky (so far) and have not lost power. Weird right now being in the very large "eye" of now Tropical storm Ian. Calm winds and rains have subsided...for now...backside whipping coming up soon.

OMG Ellen...that's hilarious!! 😄 I had to drag the lap top to Bucky to see...we both laughed like crazy!

Ahhh...salt and lots of saturated fat.. What's not to like? 😄 Have to keep the cardiologists in business after all. 😉 BTW..when Bucky was in Vietnam...they used irons to heat the Spam slices.

That was not me. Still kept our GS...just new location. Plenty of GS cabins on Wonder...just limited CLS and OS as compared to other Oasis class ships. All GS cabins are now on 17. When they moved everyone from Allure to Wonder for the Med and TA this last summer and the upcoming fall season....it was long before final payment date. I read many posts on our roll call as to those that were offered the downgrade to JS cabins with full suite's bennies. They were all in CLS (mostly) or OS cabins. Some may have been moved to what was left of available empty GS cabins right at move over time. We were able to easily match up our 2 Med legs to the TA leg by moving over a couple of cabins. A week or so after that...they were all sold out. I did not read any posts at all of those booked in a GS downgraded to JS. None at all.

We have never had it included either on ships other than Oasis class in an OS or GS.

Thanks...that is what it shows on the cruise planner. Was hoping it was wrong. Drats. 😞

Assuming so. We are planning on it during our temporary home for four weeks starting on the 16th. 😉 Just a walk around the corner for us.

Totally agree. Once again: RCI ....Really Consistently Inconsistent. 🤔

OMG...that really made me laugh! Thanks! 😄

We, as the ones already booked in a GS...would not have been terribly happy if others in a OS/CLS were given favor to our cabin. Happy it worked out the way it did for us.

We are supposed to get the worst of it by night and through tomorrow (Thursday). Already under Hurricane warning, and just now ....evacuation notices for low lying areas and mobile homes.

OMG...love it!! Good for you!! 🤗

Everyone turns the next level on a cruise at some point. I would not wish that on the already overly busy LA on board for everyone to demand an instant upgrade. 😮 Very clearly stated that the points are not officially added to your account until the completion of your cruise. I turned Pinnie on Harmony...the only level recognized on the cruise you that you attain that level, but you don't have official status until the following cruise. I did not expect, nor receive full Pinnacle benefits until my following cruise. Once again making that next cruise that much sweeter. 😉 BTW....love the pictures of your kids posted along the sidebars. 🙂

LOL....no worries for me. I live 20 miles away from PC. 😄 Obviously my favorite port. 😉 Will sometimes drive to Ft. Lauderdale (3 hours), but really detest that drive. The traffic and drivers on that highway are crazy nuts/dangerous!

It was really the CLS cabins that were reduced the most. Many of those pax that were booked on Allure and could not be moved to the limited numbers...were offered JS cabins with full suite benefits. Most of those declined. I am very happy with our GS Allure move to Wonder. Quick call to CS to line up all three three legs into one cabin. 🙂

Ummm...What? I thought all GS and above on Oasis class ships had freebie internet?

Ummm...nope... but wouldn't mind one of those Banana Daquiris. 😄 Though I did fill up a bag of ice for our freezer, plus multiple bottles of water to freeze in there. Maybe help keep things cool if we lose power....plus extra ice to chill down the drinks...and my SB. 😉
