It’s YTBD, but there have been some murmurs of a group review. If so I might sit back and enjoy it in real time. All will be known in due time. 

 

I think a dozen simultaneous "Live" reviews threads of the same cruise might be fun. Let's us see it thru different eyes as everyone would have their own take on thing. Of course, trying to keep track of which thread you are on might be a challenge.

 

It could take over the entire first page of the Royal boards.😄

On an Adventure sailing several of us on the ship were posting on the same thread. It was pretty cool!

We did the “four headed monster” review a few years ago with myself, @Yorkvillain, @CruiseLifeRick and @maureencruiserand it was great.

We are home but beat. 12 hours of “travel” takes a toll.  I’ll try to wrap it all up tomorrow in between loads of laundry.

 

We got to the Apple Store on the way home and they had no tech service times for today. Lost an hour of driving just to have an appointment for tomorrow morning at 10:00am. Laundry is sorted and swim suits are being done now. 

Lucy greeted us.  She was like, I’ll take pets and snacks please. 

 

 

How long of drive do you have from DTW to home? Is that the Airport you usually fly from?

[ecslady]

Thanks for taking us along!  Great live review.

That was an amazing review. I'd love to read one like that again.

 

I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. Good luck at the Apple store today!

Have you considered whether Owen is an evil genius and orchestrated his iPhone going into the water, along with no Apple appointments being available, just so he can upgrade to an iPhone 14?  

 

I bought a BMW when my oldest daughter was 12.  Her first question was "how long do you keep cars before buying a new one?".  I could see her brain calculating if she was to get a hand me down when she got her driver's license (the answer was no).  I was equal parts proud and worried. 

 

Owen seems like a smart kid...just sayin'.  😜

@A&L_Ont

Like others have said and I totally agree, a big thank you for sharing you and your families adventures.

 

Also, cannot wait to meet you and Lisa on the Bella cruise, and Owen if he is not too busy.

 

As far as a Bella's cruise thread to share on CC all I can say is with so  many who are on this cruise who are  creative and have done great live threads in the past it would be something to see how it could transpire.  

 

Be safe

We could have done it again this year if you picked up the phone.  🤪

I am planning on talking to John to see what he would like to do. I think one big thread with multiple contributors might be the way to go so that we don't overlap too much. I am open to suggestions to best keep it entertaining.

[A&L_Ont]

Sorry everyone. Got super busy with work as well as home stuff. Finals thought’s tomorrow as we are off to a hockey game at 7:30 tonight. 

[A&L_Ont]

This did happen today. Thank-you Apple Care. 
 

Also an Owen story to come tomorrow as well. 
 

 

[mcgore83]

Loving this!  I am thinking one thread of the Bella cruise with all of you contributing would be great!  We all at home will not want to miss any of it! Appreciate all of your time and effort to share with us,

No slackers allowed. 

 

Might need to revisit the 4 Headed Monster thread.

I vote for a group project. We can discuss more soon. I still have a Serenade recon cruise coming up next month. 🌐

I'm game! Might need a mini-review on posting pictures? Better to post pictures from a photo hosting site like PhotoBucket?

Check out the Bella thread in the floatway lounge pages of CC

It's easy to do pictures straight to CC. 

 

Many can help you onboard I'd guess

Seriously don't think you need a recon on Serenade of the Seas. You are going to be on it long enough to know every nook and cranny of the entire ship. Pretty much things are ran on that ship like any other ship you have been on but everything is just down sized. Only 90K tons(Radiance Class)
