Vikki and I definitely need a vacation from our vacation. It was fantastic having the last day as a sea day. I can only imagine! I know lots of people like lots of port days, but I love me some sea days for "doing nothing" on vacation!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original itinerary had 3 sea days but when they dropped the overnight in St Petersburg they replaced it with 3 ports and we lost a sea day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We added the shot of fireball and chocolate. Absolute Vanilla vodka Bailys Creme de Caco Fireball Whisky. All alcohol, no fillers no additives. It was a rough morning the next day. Used my 5 drinks plus what was left of Vikki's before midnight then used my 5 drinks for the next day after midnight. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually use Southwest miles to make our vacation money go a little farther. Maybe I need to look into airline credit cards that fly more flights that are international. Check out TAP Airlines to fly to Barcelona. We have flown with them twice for Transatlantic Cruises. We've left out of Newark both times but they also leave from JFK. Very nice flight, even had an option to "bid" for an upgrade to first class which we did our last time and won! Had the lay down seats which was great for some rest on the flight over.

Retirement cruise on Explorer last November had no sea days and I was exhausted. With a large ship like Symphony and everything you can do onboard it's good to have sea days.

Even on port days at many of the ports in the Caribbean we are not off the shop for the full day. We were setting alarms most dsys as we had early excursions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sea Dog Posted August 21, 2022 #38 Share Posted August 21, 2022 @Ourusualbeach Question, does Symphony serve breakfast at the Wipeout Bar in the morning like Allure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no Wipeout bar on SY. It's El Loco Fresh. They did serve a Mexican burrito for breakfast but it was nothing special and they were not doing that last March. Chris was referring to the Wipeout Cafe not the Wipeout Bar for breakfast on Allure. Edited August 21, 2022 by Ourusualbeach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
