zazzja Posted July 21, 2018 #326 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Have really enjoyed the concept of this review! Great storyline (anniversary, competition, review), lots of pictures, lots of tasty food, tips and drinks. I think you've really gone all out and taken the time to try to answer every questions. To me, this is the concept of a good forum. Thank you for letting us tag along and wishing you and your wife many good years to come!

LadyBeBop Posted July 21, 2018 #327 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Enjoyed your report. Sorry I missed out on the contest. However I wouldn’t have come anywhere close to the correct guess. Now, have a Bloody Mary this morning. I was surprised I could get a mimosa for disembarkation morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevdad Posted July 21, 2018 #328 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Thanks so much for your review! It was very entertaining following along this week. And congratulations on 25 years, that is an amazing accomplishment. Based on the pictures it looks like you're a very tall guy. That definitely makes a big difference in drink consumption. A very wise choice buying the drink package and it was lots of fun following the savings as you did. We are on HOTS late December and I was on the fence about buying the package. I may just buy it to have fun tracking it all week, not to mention the "challenge" of at least breaking even. Safe travels home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurls88 Posted July 21, 2018 Author #331 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Well we have disembarked. The Embarkation and Disembarkation process for HOTS is incredible. A well oiled machine. We got our luggage and through customs in less then 15 minutes the drawback is we told our ride 8:45. We are already dreading going back to reality. Stacey works Monday and I go back in two weeks. I’m a HS golf coach and practice starts next week. I hope everyone enjoyed following us. Countdown starts Harmony June 9th 2019. I will try to answer any questions Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

er345 Posted July 21, 2018 #333 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Even though I didn’t come close to guessing correctly for the contest, I am happy to hear the drink package was most definitely worth it for you! I was on the fence about it for our Symphony cruise unless the price came down. But now I think we might as well go for it and enjoy it! Thanks for the review.

rberns6171 Posted July 21, 2018 #336 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I think Royal should give you a free cruise for all your posts and how much the drink package is worth the money. I am sure their sales will increase 10 fold !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky2678 Posted July 21, 2018 #338 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Are the Miami Vices extra? I thought I read that the limit on a drink price is $13 with the drink package? Well I made it to 11:12 AM without a drink. We each had a Miami Vice and I had a mudslide. $45 off the total so we stand at $312. I might not have a drink until dinner depending on what we do. We are eating at Mini Bites now. Everything was big. No sliders or mini Grilled Cheese but still good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NolaFireLI Posted July 21, 2018 #339 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Oh, I'm so depressed for you Hurls88.... but you made my wait for my return trip on Harmony in 27 days so much fun these past couple of weeks!!! OUTSTANDING job on your review, incredible job with the drink package and proof to everyone else that it really truly is worth it (for all those on the fence people) I'm definitely putting it on the to-do list with Kieran at Boot & Bonnet!! Question for ya, did you find that the Bionic Bar was less crowded towards the end of the cruise?? Like the novelty wore-off? Thanks again for sharing this wonderful cruise with all of us!!

Question for ya, did you find that the Bionic Bar was less crowded towards the end of the cruise?? Like the novelty wore-off? Thanks again for sharing this wonderful cruise with all of us!! It was a little busier first night and last night but really not bad. I would suggest bringing a drink if it’s busy and order one from Bionic Bar and drink while you wait. I didn’t see any time limit between our drink orders. The most wait time we saw was 11 minutes and that was because Mix was down (There names are Mix and Mingle).

Rare lazydayz Posted July 21, 2018 #349 Share Posted July 21, 2018 So glad you two had a great anniversary cruise. It was fun to tag along. Less than 60 days now until Allure of the Seas for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#55worktoplay Posted July 21, 2018 #350 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I don’t think they put enough alcohol in drinks to get alcohol poisoning Well worth it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Except in the casino, I am a light weight drinker but I got totally drunk on one Sea Day on two drinks! I felt so stupid, picture a middle age woman staggering, like couldn’t walk a straight line as hard as I tried! It was 2 O’clock in the afternoon! Ridiculous I know. I think they put lots of rum in thinking I would put more bucks in those slots! It backfired on them, I had to go to bed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
