and now my mom and I will be sailing the Serenade of the Seas on Sept. 29, 2019. Yeah it's a long way off, but the price was right. We'll be sailing from Boston and going up to Canada. Hoping we'll get to see some Fall color. Can't wait!

 

It's been 7 years since I've sailed Royal. Last time was on Adventure. What has changed over the last 7 years? Anything in particular that I should do on Serenade? Mom and I scored an aft cabin next to a two bedroom suite. It will be my first aft!

 

Tell me all I need to know! I'll be doing a ton of research when I can between volunteering at my youngest's school, my niece graduating from college in May and a week later my youngest graduating, then swim camp for the youngest in Texas and me moving to Mississippi in late June/early July. Oh yeah and somewhere in there I have to get my house ready to put on the market! Yep, I'll need this cruise! My "empty nester" cruise!!!!

 

So? What's new in the last 7 years?
