Sittin in bed, drinking hot coffee (freezing outside) and wishing we were back in GT! Missed the beginning of the live but sure looks like fun! We were on Freedom last august for our anniversary. Had so much fun. Think we closed alchemy down most nights 🤣 My sons first cruise (on Sensation-RIP-we got an awesome offer to upgrade to suite) he discovered the towel animal takeover on his own and came back to cabin all excited. So cute. sweet face! No cruises booked this year 😞. Sons graduation from HS and he wants Disney. Have tried talking him into another cruise for 3 years but no go. Thanks for taking us along!

Thanks for the live review again!! We did ropes on Panorama last year and the skyride. Think I would love the roller coaster!! UGH-downside to following along on these live reviews is fighting the urge to book a cruise ASAP. We might get above freezing tomorrow for a couple hours. Now how to break it to hubs that we do have a cruise next January that I booked 2 years ago...

Wait for the $500 OBC promotion and use that towards CHEERS. Much more than 10% saved 😜

Yes! Stayed there 4 days last month. Great hotel, easy walkability (even with having to get thru 3rd&Pine-daylight hours ok). Took monorail to Spaceneedle, MoPop etc. walked to Pike Place for breakfast every day, walk back up hill not that bad lol. Did Oliver’s HH twice. Good appetizers. Highly recommend getting an Orca card-super easy to do, set up online account and load $ in as you need for light rail, monorail, bus.

Ugh not sure why upside down but hubs and daughter on the glass floor of space needle. Hubs not fond of heights but he managed with coaxing. the view from Gasworks park is pretty amazing too. Brig a picnic lunch or snacks to enjoy the view, people/boat/plane watch.

To get back on the subject-check out Surfjack hotel. Offsite parking but no charge. Large “bungalow” rooms. It’s not on the beach but only a few easily walkable blocks away. We stayed here one night before our week at our timeshare started (as an owner at Waikiki Banyan we didn’t have parking fee here-might want to check TUG -Timeshare user group-for rentals). if you do want to rent a car check out Discount Hawaii Car Rentals. By far the lowest prices with all the major rental agencies (yes lower than than the perfect Costco 🤣)

We are just touring Vancouver (no cruise) but I was shocked to find hotel price drops for both our Vancouver hotel (Blue Horizon) and Seattle hotel (Mayflower). Booked them in January, checked last week and both had dropped ($145, $350) -here now. With start of cruise season wasn’t expecting that!

Got my refund + the shipping fee. So it did get resolved and YAY to eCards!!

Yeah it’s billed to carnival Corp. and I did this last time an offer like this around and worked fine. At any rate I dont have the email for the e-card I bought so I have $100 charge and no e-gift card.

Well I have the offer, bought an e-card directly from carnival-charge posted on April 16 and still no confirmation email! Ugh! Will give it two days and then calling on that

Ha won 1500 points on the scratch off!! No answer yet on missing money on gift card but did get email saying they were looking into it and "working as quickly as possible to obtain resolution"

And I’ve had an issue with physical card-still waiting to get it figured out: card wasn’t loaded with the money. First time I’ve had issue with physical cards in a few thousand spent. Prefer the e-card by far! Cruise is paid for but want to book excursion and steak house so need a few more!

we did Panorama last March and enjoyed it but yeah-getting from Midwest to west coast is a pain compared with Galveston or Florida. Plus we have 2 kids living in Florida so we go there more often. But also done with Cozumel port stops lol. Yeah an 8 day on the new ship with the 2 days in Cabo would have me seriously looking at it. Our 630-230 port time wasn’t long enough. As it stands now I think we’d rather do a land vacation for a week in Cabo anyway-or join my in laws for their yearly (months long) stay in PV for a week

ok it's NOT a 3 letter word. you have to enter the words that go with the hints IE sweepstakes & daily deals, then you get another puzzle and 2 hints (and enter those words per the hint)-local offers and auctions got a 1000 points after trying multiple things UGH

what is the word for 3 letter??

For allstate within 10 minutes usually-and I get 2 emails-one saying it's coming and order confirmation and one where the gift card is attached you can download.

I have 3 chickens (backyard flock). Used to be 5 but one had an accident last spring and a predator got another one last July when we were in Hawaii. Even though family was staying at the house they couldn't save her. We have 2 dogs as well-it is hard to be away from them for long time! PS one of my hens will be 9 on April 1-she will outlive the dogs I think just to spite everyone.

Love the peaceful pic spot!! This is good to know on the app-kinda surprised more cruise ships don't have hearing loop-at least in the theaters. I am part of a service group that the main national mission is hearing health-our groups (several of them) recently had an older live theater looped and looking at doing our regional airport.

Thanks for the review! We are booked for the 5 day in August for our anniversary. Was looking for shorter inexpensive cruise and Freedom fit the bill. Was also worried after so many neg reviews.

I also tried "2kcruise23" and got 2000 points

Hawaii vacation Guide (they have free guides and paid ones, along with videos on youtube) has helpful hints

For easy walk to beach (not beach front) but no resort fees try SurfJack hotel-they call the rooms "bungalows"-2 room units, balcony and has parking (offsite). Reasonably priced without the extra fees the big resorts charge

Highly recommend a tour for first time. There is road etiquette and you will NOT be able to concentrate on scenery, may not know how or when to pull over etc. I know many say "do it yourself" but our tour guide called RTH on way up the "honeymoon" and way back "the divorce road"-for a reason. The reason so many locals hate tourists is tourists have ZERO clue about etiquette or or what is private property etc. It's also a MUCH longer drive than you think 🙂 We did a private tour (6 people max) that did the drive to hana, access to the black sand beach, and helicopter back. Pricey but 100000% worth it-allowed us to appreciate the drive and beauty of island!!

Recent reports seem to show drug sniffing dogs at embarkation. Cruise last year on Panorama (spring break time) and no issues even with "rude" people. Was a fantastic cruise.

CHIEFS!
