Rare Denversail Posted April 8 Author #202 Share Posted April 8 If you all haven’t noticed Dupable really likes to give advice. Anytime she can share her opinion she gets excited. This unfortunately has been extended to grocery store employees. She loves going to the grocery store. I think she stops in 5 times a week. She almost always manages to find a reason she requires extra assistance. she was going on and on the other day how she suspected the gentleman that helped her that day was a manager. He came all the way down a ladder and walked her to what she was looking for. The regular store employees aren’t usually that helpful she says. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Denversail Posted April 8 Author #204 Share Posted April 8 We went into winter park and walked around a little bit. We grabbed a breakfast croissant and then decided to get lunch at a French restaurant. Both were good. We then spent an hour at Leu Gardens. I’m sure Mr. IT will do a small photo dump once we are settled at the airport. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dupable Posted April 8 #208 Share Posted April 8 DUPABLE here NEVER mess with a dog's schedule ! So I go over this morning to let the dogs out and guess what - PupPup thinks its dinner time again. Ran circles around me, barking, the whole works. Of course I did not feed him - he had just eaten a few hours ago. Such a sad and shocked look he gave me as i walked out the door ...... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. IT Posted April 9 #209 Share Posted April 9 (edited) Always good to be back home in Colorful Colorado. A fun filled extended weekend, Thank you @Denversail Edited April 9 by Mr. IT 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Denversail Posted April 9 Author #210 Share Posted April 9 Thanks for the pics Dupable! Of course I saw the actual dog before your pics. I can confirm to all our followers that PupPup is alive and well. Dupable next time I would like a consistent communication of proof of life. If you are going to choose to stay home with the dogs do better! This is like me sending you a pic of your plants while you are looking at the plants. You just seem to be lacking commitment these days. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Denversail Posted April 9 Author #211 Share Posted April 9 Our flight home was great. I watched two movies and consistently drank vodka and soda. It went off without a hitch. Our surprise middle seats in economy on the way out did not go well. Obviously out of our control but miserable. We both had the worst possible scenarios. The flight home in first class was almost majestic. Mr. IT says he will never buy a ticket in economy again. He says you might as well pack him up in a suit case. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destaw71835 Posted April 9 #213 Share Posted April 9 Thank you once again for the most entertaining Live Cruise review ever. I cannot wait until the next one. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom*3 Posted April 10 #214 Share Posted April 10 Loved this review and pics! We sailed Odyssey shortly after your last review, and really appreciated your perspective on the “short trip, small ship.” We are now considering a short Allure sailing, similar to this one. Did you enjoy the overall experience? Was it worth it? We’re from the Midwest and have never flown for a 3 night cruise. Not sure I can convince the fam. We’re also considering a Mediterranean, so can’t wait for that Live as well! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that just as I'm going to start getting into the cruise, it'll be time to disembark, but that wasn't the case, it was a great time, we didn't try to cram in a bunch of activities, just took our time and enjoyed the beach. We did spend more $$ than normal but that was due to our last second decision of booking the cruise/flights. I do believe another weekend cruise is in my near future and certain that it's in @Denversail's next couple of months. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re also considering a Mediterranean, so can’t wait for that Live as well! I actually liked the short 3 day cruise. We aren’t the types to try and shove in a lot of activities. We did the beach and casino basically. The three day cruise felt just right. The cruise itself for us was free. We still paid all the other expenses though. I’m happy to report that United has said they will be giving us a full ticket refund for our flight out. That mitigated some of the expense. The shorter cruise definitely increases your per day cost. Just something to consider. For us the vacation days we have available from work are more valuable than money spent. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Denversail Posted April 11 Author #217 Share Posted April 11 (edited) So (hehe) Mr. IT keeps reminding me I need to come close out this live. I just got super busy with my drama filled life. Anyways as we have both said we really enjoyed this trip. We are considering other opportunities over the next few months to take another weekend trip. We really appreciated you all following our adventure. Mr. IT has always had a love for photography. I know that him getting to share his shots with you enhanced his vacation experience. Thank you for showing him so much love! Trip Highlights: Cocoa Beach The Beach Club Weather Lack of ducks (didn’t see a single one) Rocket launch Airline ticket refund Rental Car (this made a huge difference and would do again) The drink package Downers: Cancelled flight Middle Economy Seats (worst flight I’ve ever been on) Dupable’s inability to post dog pics Until next time. 🫡 Edited April 11 by Denversail 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare perfect match Posted April 11 #218 Share Posted April 11 I’ll be watching for your next review! Hope to see both of you there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare amygutman Posted April 13 #219 Share Posted April 13 @Denversail and @Mr. IT Thanks for bringing us along on such a fantastically entertaining Live Review. So glad you had a nice time in Winter Park - we've lived here for 2 years and it's just such a wonderful place (and bougie-people watching is the best entertainment). 7 days until we board for kiddo's 15th birthday. Can't wait to experience the Allure for ourselves and crossing our fingers for smooth seas for the aqua shows as we are in an aqua suite! Glad you made it back safe, and again, thank you for a fun read. Warmest Amy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. IT Posted May 24 #222 Share Posted May 24 (edited) My soon to be SOUSED SAILOR nudged me to respond to another one of her future cruising posts of a cruise that I don't get to go on. SO!!!, Here it is.... If you're over a certain age, surviving everything life throws at you, you should automatically receive 4 weeks PTO regardless of employment status. This is the end of my public service announcement (promised SS I wouldn't rage). Back to work, what really sucks is that I kept thinking today was Friday Edited May 24 by Mr. IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
