Yay!!!!! You got to play with the puppy!!!! U look truly joyful in the pictures!! He is one famous dog, loved by cruisers! ☺️I also have to comment on the food at Margaritaville. (We are foodies over here.) Looks amazing!!! I'm now regretting being cheap & not getting those nachos when we were there. Was the food worth it? I recall it being really expensive.

Oh man. Moving is rough!!

 

I just love cruising. I feel you get a great value for being able to see different locations.

 

I planned the 4 dayer just last month .. And mom and I booked the pride for next year back when they had 50% reduced deposits. I'm so glad I have my mom to go with me as well to experience things.

 

I have only sailed CCL so it's the only thing I know and I always have a good time and a ton of fun!! I first have to look at dates then itinerary usually wins for me too. If I go back east to catch a ship to E Carib it best be goin to HMC. LOL. .... Another bucket list cruise is a Southern Carib and hit those islands there.

 

Life is short and I have travel goals! Lol.

 

I wouldn't be opposed to trying other lines but usually their itinerary and dates don't work for me. ::shrug:: I just know I am going to have a good time and I don't harp on lil things that are out of my control. I go with the flow. :-)

I love that 50% reduced deposit. :D If they have that soon, I might just book. Otherwise, I'll wait for it,or been thinking of saving gift cards here & there. First we'll have to decide. The Southern Carib was beautiful, one of my favorites, from San Juan! You WILL LOVE THAT ONE!!!! I'm so with you on HMC being a place to go back to!!! This last Glory cruise was my 1st time @ HMC & it was truly paradise & by FAR the best port in the Bahamas IMHO. I even liked it more than Grand Turk,which says a lot b/c GT was beautiful. HMC's sand was the softest sand I have EVER felt @ ANY beach. I'm only seeing identical itineraries that include HMC, so far but I'd go back in a heartbeat. I like ur go w/ the flow attitude. ;) We are the SAME way. :)

So what ports are you sailing to on The Pride? We did the Pride in March from Baltimore before it had it's upgrades & enjoyed it. Everything CCL did was top knotch but the weather was very chilly. Anyways, if you go to Nassau we did CCL's private island & I HIGHLY recommend it. It's not as big as HMC but it is pretty fantastic! They have dolphins you can view on your short walk to the beach, a pool & the lunch is really good! If I can figure out how to post a pic I will. IDK what CCL calls it now, but it used to be known as Balmoral Island which u can google. :)

What I love about cruising!!! Something for everyone!! Yes sometimes the only thing we can do is live vicariously through others reviews. What I do to pass the time.. and hopefully you can book soon?? :D

Exactly!! Its especially nice that everything is so familiar in your review. 😊 I'm moving, so I have no plans until after we are settled, next summer or possibly Nov 17. It could be land or sea, all depends on what the budget. Are you planning another cruise & do you only sail with CCL? I've only done CCL & ive been so happy with them. I'd love to try one of new ships, but itinerary always wins!!

Nice update!!! Its interesting to see the same cruise from a different perspective. We did the exact same itinerary & did totally different things. It just goes to show the endless possibilities w/ cruising. I love it!!!!! But reading this makes me want to book & I can't right now. Dang it! Til I can......... I'll just DREAM ON!!!! :D

Sorry about your personal news but glad to see you are taking time for yourself here.

Thank you for taking the time to do a TR. You shared so much valuable info. :) I can't wait for ourrrrr turn on this same cruise!!!!

Hope you finish the review!!!! :)

Enjoying your review!!! Can't wait for our turn on this same cruise!!!!
