Wait Jamie’s is not open for lunch anymore? Crap I was planning on that in 2 weeks!

Or sell on FB Marketplace? Seems sad to just throw them away.

Sell them on EBay. I collect them and know others do too.

This is the Getaway Vibe. The bar is huge! They expanded it, taking over the public sun deck that used to be there. Nice! The video is shot after hours but you can still see how large it is.

Another possible option for you is to see if the Concierge will sell you a few Vibe day passes. I was able to do that years ago on the Breakaway. Things may have changed but it never hurts to ask…with a tip of course! 😉

You are correct. I do not see a hot tub on the upper Haven Sundeck. This video shows the Getaway Haven Sundeck. The Getaway Vibe looks huge!

Same here. Even when we were in a suite they checked everyone’s pass/time if you arrived at the port early around 10 AM. I’m on her Aug 5th so will report back too.

Yeh we can always meet up at any bar. There are plenty! I’ll hold my Vibe resy until everyone weighs in.

Are you in the Haven? If so then we really do not need the Vibe UNLESS we want to party with those not in the Haven. Vibe offers an outside adult only bar, hot tubs and padded loungers. It is never crowded IMO. I always book Vibe even if I’m in the Haven if I expect a lot of kids onboard or I have friends onboard who are not in the Haven. I have been in the Haven with a lot of unruly kids before - not fun.

True confession. I just booked Vibe in case…..😎

If we all book Vibe though it could be a fun party. I may book in case you do too. We do have 2 sea days…..plus sailaway day. 🤔 I can always cancel.

It will be a blast!

@laudergayle If you are even thinking about booking Vibe, I’d go ahead and book it. You can always cancel later once you know the weather and such. Just my opinion. 😏

Same here - Oct 2, 2025, right? 😃 I’m excited that she is coming to LA. I just wish the itineraries were better but at least the sea days will allow us to really enjoy the ship. We are on the Navigator is a few weeks. She is a fun ship too.

Mea Culpa @cruiseny4life. Great spreadsheet and 2026 cruise options. Thanks for creating it. 🙏

I think @laudergayle is also thinking about a 2026 cruise when the new dates open up. I’d definitely be up for that! She has a spreadsheet listing some great options. Here is the link to the Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B_6mL29I60rxhtElTw5UKKsr9aYdcpxF-de5BXUM9XE/edit?usp=sharing

Yes and @Sailing12Away and @oteixeira too. Could be fun but as Marty used to say, getting everyone together is like herding cats!

Wow! That is actually a pretty good price for Haven suites. Hmmmm 🤔 @laudergayle you already booked on this?

We will be in the Epic Haven this October for an 11 day Greek Isle cruise. I can let you know how it is compared to the Breakaway Haven. At least my opinion anyway.

Late to the party. Where we goin’?

AWESOME review as always @TxTeach79 I am in awe as to how you post so much during your cruises. 👏👏👏. I get too preoccupied to post as much as you do during LIVEs. 🥂 to you both. Thanks for taking us along on this amazing journey. We are on the Epic Greek Island cruise in October and I am dreading taking the Santorini poo-path down! I know there will be lines for the gondola because we want to enjoy an early sunset drink at the PK Cocktail Bar. How long did it take you to walk down? Safe travels home. Thanks again. 😊

If she can't find out I will check in August when I go.

The Bamboo Room is a ton of fun! They have specialty tiki drinks you can order. If Raj is there ask him to make his famous rainbow shots. So fun!

As an LAX frequent flyer my suggestion is to just get a cab to the port. You need to take a bus from the terminal to the lots that serve Uber/Lyft and cabs. The cab line moves quickly. Ubers don’t pick you up at the arrivals area UNLESS you book with high level Black and above, or with certain drivers ahead of time. LAX is a total mess IMO.

Exact! I can book a RCI Quantum of the Seas Star Class suite out of LA for less then that!
