All signed ready to join your fun!

Seating in the World Stage is very comfy and no bad spots...no poles etc.

Attended port talk with Kristen yesterday. Very informative and interesting in that she does not push HAL excursions. She offer things to see and do and how to get around the port etc. for someone who this is our first time to the islands I found it extremely interesting and helpful.

The first night the dance show was rescheduled due to ship movement. I stead we had a comedian and he was great. Will see him again and take some pics then. Very funny. Now at Coffee Talk with Kristen.

BB Kings is one of our favorites for the music and energy. Seniors really know how to have a good time!

Beatles Tribute was a lot of fun good tunes for sure lots of energy!

Clocks went back one hour last night. Seas are calmer this morning. Enjoying ourselves for sure. Crows Nest this morning now at talk with Chefs!

Thanks just wanted to make sure.

I have a spa pass for the duration of the cruise. I have visited both days before noon not busy at all. I am guessing because of the ship rolling so much from the swells. Plus it seems folks are more laid back. We went up for breakfast on Lido this morning and it was pretty quiet.. now when I walked back to our cabin thru Lido at 1 pm it was wall to wall cruisers eating. Food has been plentiful and good. Tonight is the first formal night.

We have a balcony room on deck 8. We don't dine in dining room by choice. We use room service for coffee and sometimes lunch. Comedian last night was great. Attended a game show that was a lot of laughs. BB Kings is awesome. Today we attended How to Wear Your Sarongs...very interesting and audience participation. Now we are at Travel talk on what to see and do in port. Very interesting that they are not pushing HAL tours these are in your own things to do. Again very informative. First cruise for us with the Have It All...easy and for us worth it. Hope you don't mind others sharing on your live. If you do I apologize and will move on.

We are on this cruise. We drove in day of sailing We opted to wait until the masses passed. We pulled into port dropped off our luggage, returned rental car.to airport, took city bus back to port. Arrived at port 1:30 walked right in no crowds at all walked onto ship no wait room ready and with 5 minutes our luggage arrived...easiest embarkation ever in 30+ cruises. We don't need or want to be 1st on the ship or with the masses.

Whew I will have something to read after our cruise and I have cruise withdrawal!

@TravelBluebird...wonderful news uneventful flights so far. Continued safety for your final legs of travel back to your home and recoup time. Our cruise starts today, so we are up super early with excitement.

All signed up for some more FUN! Plus @Jamman54 Tribe review should be starting soon as well....all has not been lost this week for sure!

Safe travels home it has been a blast following from my recliner here in Yuma!

@TravelBluebird...how are you feeling today, aches subsiding I hope?

Yes sir our 1st step starts Tuesday our first adventure cruise to Hawaii!

@Btimmer...wow what a great adventure you have had this cruise!

@kazu and @Haljo1935....I would encourage you to check out Honest Kitchen pet food. Quality food made here in the USA. We lost both our fur kids and while I have no "proof" I believe it was from the dog food as our vet had advised us that this particular brand she saw a lot of gastric issues with pets. We switched to Honest Kitchen and I will only feed this moving forward. Very easy for storage as well in our RV as it is dehydrated.

@TravelBluebird...in case you are interested a fellow LONG time cruiser @jimbo5544over on the Celebrity CC page has started a live for his cruise to Antartica. Hoping by linking him here he will now check out your exciting review with photos!

@TravelBluebird...hoping for another positive day for you despite the health issues.

Ha ha, nope movin on!

Will you link it here or do we need to look over on VV page? I'll be on my cruise but I want to follow along.

I think being "selective" is an excellent way to cruise. I mean after all folks are paying good hard earned cash to cruise they want to have a good time, enjoy themselves and not be stressed. I watched a video the other day of 1st timers cruising on VV and they loved it cruising with all adults, there is some appeal there, and it does not mean that you don't like kids!

@TravelBluebird....this cruise is an excellent way to share with others that there is so much more to cruising than just the Caribbean! You and hubby are creating lifetime memories....a photo book is definitely required for sharing with others when you are home.
