Thelongos Posted June 27, 2016 Author #26 Share Posted June 27, 2016 They did fireworks from the Breakaway when we were on board. So it isn't impossible. :) And Disney does it all the time. That's neat to know. I can see how professionally trained crew measuring wind and other factors can pull it off. Perhaps, cost/benefit ratio is not good enough on RCCL sort of like the midnight buffet I miss (although that had to be such a waste of food).

Thelongos Posted June 27, 2016 Author #27 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I am on this sailing too! Can't wait.!!! Hooray, it's going to be awesome! Yes, we can't wait either!! :D The problem is if we can get our work finished early this week we can head to S. Florida a few days earlier... but you know how that goes. So, it's hurry up and wait I suppose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelongos Posted June 27, 2016 Author #28 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Yay Lenny! Glad your sail date is finally approaching soon. You'll have to tell us what they do for the holiday. I'm also interested in the itinerary. A few cool new itineraries for Allure lately. I'll be checking in here and on Periscope. I know you'll both have a wonderful time. :) Thanks Pharaoh, it's because of your's and other similar scopers out there that I decided to do it... You guys are sharing so why shouldn't we. Everyone deserves some cruise fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsharynu Posted June 27, 2016 #31 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I am on your sailing too. Can't wait!! This work week can't be finished soon enough. Luckily, I am only working through Wednesday. Minus the Periscope part, I could have written your initial post. We are going on the cruise without our kids for our 10 year anniversary - thanks Grandparents. I am also figuring out the whole Voom situation as we want to skype or facetime with the kids but I also don't want to be tempted to check work emails or other work info. I am thinking about getting the package so I can text my husband on board (as opposed to a walkie talkie) and then have skype access to the kids and I will delete all my work sites and email off my phone. I too am looking forward to unplugging but also want certain access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did a similar no kids cruise on our 5th anniversary. We'll be missing our children (but not too much, at least for the first few days haha). And yes, thinking the VOOM will help alleviate that somewhat. We are unsure if we are going to get "two" internet packages to communicate between ourselves as we are typically together. We have done walkies before and that has helped in some situations--especially with children. #unplugfromstress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packercruising Posted June 28, 2016 #33 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Is missing your kids kind of like missing your dogs? :) Our kids are long grown up but we have 3 dogs at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelongos Posted June 28, 2016 Author #39 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Lenny: do you have any excursions planned? I have the same itinerary on Allure in September. We do not typically plan excursions ahead of time as we are go-with-the-flow while cruising, if we even get off the boat at all in some ports we've been to many times. We really love the ship experience! If anything, we'll pick up a zipline, snorkel or bike tour once we get in country and gauge the weather.

I am loyal to "Royal" with the Allure being my 13th RCCL sailing. I've cruised other lines, but really enjoy the overall cruise experience Royal has to offer. Have you signed up for the Meet and Mingle? Great way to meet fellow CC members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelongos Posted July 2, 2016 Author #47 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Well, better late then never! We're finally off to South Beach. Had a tiny flood at our office coupled with a down server at the last minute... Murphy and his laws are setting us straight this week lol! Lenny is driving and navigation has us at 3.5 hours, so we should arrive a bit after 5pm. Sent from my Galaxy Note 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
