And done!

Just drop a line in the Bella thread if you find yourselves choosing Atlanta, and we can connect. It’s our pleasure.

@Sea Dog, you know, @brillohead and @Ocean Boy are right about discounts, at least for you. We follow a few YouTube vloggers that are excellent with videography, and some of them get some really great discounts in travel, just because of their videos. Something to think about. You are that great! 🙂

Dani, I only lurk in here but have been on CC for years now, mostly hanging in the Bella thread. If you guys decided to fly into Atlanta, Ken and I drive right thru Atlanta on our way down to Orlando. You are more than welcome to hitch a ride with us, as we are also booked on Bella 2.0. 🙂. We could pick you up at the airport. Our SUV can hold 4 adults, 4 large and 4 small pieces of luggage comfortably. We will be retired then so can be flexible about when we drive down. Just wanted to toss that option out, and if you seriously consider it, I can share my email here or the Bella thread. 🙂

Excuse me, OB. I’m sorry I misunderstood. Thank you for including all of us. 😁Greg sure does have a big family!

Absolutely! But OB was thinking about extending that discount to him. 😂

That's okay. It's a surprise, right? My hubby doesn't know I booked a GS to surprise him. Not telling him for another 683 days is going to kill me. 😂

If this happens, it's probably because the 'bean counters' in charge have run revenue analysis and discovered that shorter cruises have a higher spend ratio than 7 night cruises. This hypothesis is from a 'bean counter'. 😁 When they put Jason Liberty in charge, I figured it was to start seriously counting pennies.

We REALLY need a ❤️ like instead of just a regular like. Love this!

Your videography has been stellar, as always, Greg. But nothing has topped the tribute to Marty's lovely wife, Sue. That was truly beautiful. 🙂

Go Laura! Woohoo! 🙌

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us, Marty. Our deepest condolences.

I guess you should consider yourself fortunate he didn’t make you tip him so you could take them off the trolley.

Any Quantum class is my favorite. Totally enclosed, climate controlled and beautiful.

Thanks for this heads up. We will be sailing Miami in May, and planned to UBER. We will schedule ahead, and probably even walk off with luggage.

Thanks for this review, @rimmit! I’m so glad your wife is well enough to travel and enjoy that. I’ve thought of you guys often, after reading about what happened. Hope you both had a great time!

Hang in there! Our son was limited with devices as well. And when he would whine and ask my husband how he could reach us in an emergency, his dad told him to borrow one of the other kids' phones, since there were so many around him. 🤣 He was so deprived.

Love it!!

I agree wholeheartedly. Excellent list. We basically had the same list for our son when he was a teenager. He still talks about my busting him when he stopped by his cabin with a (male) friend to pick something up (directly across from our cabin), and he invited him inside. We gave him as much freedom as we could, believing it was a good "practice" for young adulthood, but the rules were not to be broken. I was not our son's friend. I was his mom, and willing to embarrass him if necessary. Heck, our existence was embarrassing at that time! 🤣 Parenting, true hands-on parenting, is not for the faint of heart. 🙂

I really wish we could, but….work. 😕 Why we had to cancel. We are sailing HI next year though to make up for this year’s loss. 😁 Hope y’all have a great voyage to HI!

There is a graduated loss of payment, based on how many days out. 60-31 days out, 75% of payment is forfeited. 74-61 days 50% is forfeited. I suggest they call their travel agent or if not booked with a TA, RCI quickly, if they believe they aren’t going to sail. For anyone considering not getting insurance, or not qualifying for it, you must decide if you can afford to lose the amount you spend on a cruise. That is why so many here recommended insurance. Cruise lines aren’t going to absorb this kind of loss out of compassion. They are a business, and all operate this way. I am really sorry about your friends. That is tough.

My first thought too! 😂

Great review all! Hope everyone who needs to recovers quickly. 🙂

So sorry to hear that John. Feel better soon, whichever of you is sick.
