Thanks so much for taking us along!!!

See you onboard the Horizon. 😉

Yes.  1 alcoholic and 1 non-alcoholic at a time is fine.

On our recently completed Spirit cruise we went to drop our backpacks off in our cabin closet (as we always do) and were immediately admonished by our steward for even being there.   Our cabin obviously wasn't touched yet - beds were stripped, garbage not emptied, so it wasn't like I was going to camp out there.  There was no way I was lugging my 15 lb. backpack around for 2 1/2 hours.  If we were in the cabin 20 seconds it was a lot.  Wasn't a stellar start in our introduction  to our steward.

Same with me and my cruise was on the Spirit as well. So it might be an issue with that ship in particular. My steward ended being amazing.

On the Spirit a few weeks ago, my cabin was not ready and the cabin steward gave me a hard time because I wanted to put my luggage in the room. He said that only Suites are ready. So it all depend on the ship I suppose. 

I just got off the Spirit last week. We took Lyft to go to the airport and cost us $25 I believe. Our friend got in a taxi and it was like $60. (She only found out once she got to the destination)

Thanks so much for doing an awesome job with this review. 🙂 

The Piano Players from Howl at the Moon typically only do 3-4 weeks contract so it might’ve been his last week onboard. 

Another vote for JVD. Try a Bushwacker at Coco Loco’s. Best ever!  Also Gertrudes next door lets you pour your own drink. 😋😋😋

I was on the Getaway last week and I had the pork belly as an appetizer but they told us that the ribeye was not available. There excuse was that the shipment was not of a good quality. (Friends of mine went the night before and the excuse that night was that it was being discontinued but the menus hadn’t been modified. )

I searched for 20 minutes to finally find this thread,,,, is there a part 3 or 4 that has a current lineup of piano entertainers?

I’m not sure that this list is updated much! They mainly use the other site that shall remain nameless!

Has anyone ever sailed with Flying Clouds. They get mixed reviews on TA so I’m wondering if anyone here has ever done an excursion and how was it?

Joanne

Enjoying your Review...Thanks for doing this!!!

Makes me feel excited for my cruise. ;p

Joanne

Thanks Jim for wasting 3-hrs of my time when I should've been at the gym! LOL

That October can't get here fast enough! Missing you & Dee!

Joanne

Nevermind...seems I was having a browser issue. Tried in a different browser and it submitted fine. :-)

I'm having issues sending through the link on CCL. I've tried Google Chrome, Explorer and from my iPad. Which browser did you use so that it worked. :-)

Thanks,

Joanne

Wonderful review and great pictures. I did the US Inaugural of the Breeze and she has become my favourite ship. Doing a B2B on the Breeze next week. :-)

Thanks for taking the time to post all of these wonderful pictures.

Joanne

Winner, winner :D

 

 

 

 

And let me just say that she was more excited to post this picture than any of our Wedding photos :rolleyes:.

But Chris, it's a purse (and a mighty good looking one at that)! I just might have to drag Ron at the Coach Outlet on our way to lunch!

:-)

Joanne, who wishes that you & Cass would be on the Breeze May 25.

Love, love, love your review!

So sorry about your thumb Cass! On the Breeze it was your ankle. Chris will have to wrap you up in cotton swab! :-)

Glad that its Ok.

Joanne

Paul, what were the internet packages available on your sailing? I gave heard and seen different post from others.

Do they have the unlimited option for one device at a time or just by the minutes?

Thanks

I can answer this question as well!

When I sailed the Breeze for the US Inaugural, they did have the Unlimited package. When I cruised this past March on the Breeze again, they had discontinued the "Unlimited package" due to too many people utilizing it and slowing down the system. Apparently once they discontinued it, the system became much faster for everyone.

Joanne

That's the only sailing with that itinerary, so there might be slight changes here and there.

Joanne

Russel Villarin just posted that he'd be joining the Sensation next week. He didn't give an exact date.

Joanne

I met Adri on my Liberty sailing last July. She is the best. She made me a new drink every night. If you enjoy a good martini or mixed fruit drink, be sure to stop by. My favorite one had blueberries in it. Come to think of it, she makes a great chocolate one too.

 

I will miss the Alchemy Bar on the Breeze.

 

Cheers!

If you are sailing the Breeze before march 30, go see Silviya in the Piano Bar. Best bartender ever. She can make any Martinis your heart desires. Alex was really good too, but he's since been moved to the Lido deck! :-(

Joanne

You should have Tom Riccio on the Glory & Marty Gast on the Freedom. Both are on their respective ships until sometime in March!

Joanne

I am really enjoying your review! I am seriously considering the Sunshine TA, and this is really helping me make my decision.

That stalker lady really is creepy! I work for Correctional Service of Canada and usually it takes a lot to faze me! :-)

Joanne

OMG thats him!!! Just called my daughter in the room and asked if she remembered who it was...Of course her face lights up and says "thats Alex"!! I told her hemaybe on our ship come April, she's so cute cause thenshe says, "you think he'll remember my drink?"!! Too cute!! Oh and thanks so much for posting that pic, you made her nite!

Just as an additional footnote to this. I too was on the 2-day & 8-day US Inaugural and Alex ROCKS!! He is planning to be on the Breeze until June. The only thing is that they might transfer him to the Spirit out of Australia. He is on stand-by! That's what he told me on the last night of the cruise.

Joanne

We both had the Bacon Mac & Cheese. I don't know why but it wasn't as great. Don't get me wrong, it was still damn tasty but not a smorgasm like the first couple times we had it. I honestly wonder if it was just reheated from last night (it was on the menu for both Friday and Saturday).

I agree, I had the Mac'n Cheese as well (I had early dining) and it wasn't as good as before! The Chicken tasted re-heated and the pasta was dry!
