Rare John&LaLa Posted June 26, 2018 #26 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Yes! Rented a pathfinder and will be going down after the parks. Where do you suggest we eat that is open early in the am and has decent breakfast? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Sunrise Diner on the 520 causeway. A couple blocks west of A1A. I may go to the hospital to try and get a reflection off Banana River. Or just be lazy and go to our crossover.

Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk It's a ISS launch, so there's no window. Critical for hitting a moving target with SpaceX rocket. It will either go on time or scrub. The diner recommendation is for after launch. Parking shouldn't be a problem. Exploration Tower is selling tickets for $15.

[emoji16] Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Now, now, no fair counting any fare reductions one may have received due to days 29-41!! In most cases, I hesitate to say all, no 3 day cruise will cost as much as an 11-day one, yet they both received 1 credit. Frankly, I think Celebrity’s system is much better. mac_tlc Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted June 27, 2018 #32 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Even faster to have some significant other with status link you. Got that right. Was Diamond myself 20yrs ago, but took my youngest Daughter on a 7 nite cruise in 2000 and in 2001, only cruises she's ever been on. She's 19 now and a Diamond Plus.... My oldest Daughter, 27, got the cruise bug like her Dad, is 2 cruises away from Diamond Plus that she earned(besides the 5 cruises I paid for)...

In 1988 paid $3800(total for 2) for 7nite on a Deck 2 tiny Port Hole cabin. I've paid $9ea cruise fare plus $50ea Port Tax, total cabin was $119 on a 5n OV cabin and have paid $1500 for another 5n. Currently I pay same(1500-1800)for 10 & 11n Balcony but as a solo cruiser 350+ points so prices can't compare. Crown and Anchor discounts now ARE the biggest reductions for me...

Rare John&LaLa Posted June 27, 2018 #35 Share Posted June 27, 2018 John&Lala...great job!...could you please kindly share what the 28-day and 7-day cruises were? (Ps: How do you go about finding the relatively inexpensive JS...thanks!):)As Mac said, the 28 day was discounted because it was supposed to be 41 days. Original price was $6000 for a B2B lasting 28 days. This was a JS on Mariner. Royal cut the price in half to $3000 total when they cancelled the last leg (days 29 - 41) Ladt fall we took several 7 day cruises in a JS on Oasis and they were right at $3000 They also flew us home free from Barcelona and gave us a $750 FCC. They also upgraded us to a GS for days 14-28. We were lucky. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank808 Posted June 29, 2018 #36 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Yea, that's what I was wondering. BTW, Falcon launch is around 5:45am on Friday. You still coming? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Thanks for the info. My son and I got to see our first rocket launch. The lift off was the same as watching on TV but as it accelerates and flies through the atmosphere it is beautiful. Now off to the diner!
