Happy wife, happy life... 

I'm enjoying your photos! Despite the wind, your balcony coffee photo looks incredible!!!

Did you buy anything in the spa? I am getting a massage there next week and hate the hard sell, too! UGH... trying to anticipate if I need anything. 

Does it feel like a lot of kids? Next week is spring break, so I am sure we'll feel the kid energy bigtime!!

We’ve been at Dr Ink’s since 5 in LIVE with the SeaHorse  Glide.  On my 2nd one and kinda drunk and about to cry during the beautiful Alleluia rendition by our violinists 

Love it! My son plays violin so I'll need to check them out. Music gets me, too 😢

Bummer about the wind! Hope u have nice weather at Port tomorrow! What did u do for lunch? Did I miss that 😂

We booked a 2 hour excursion directly through Daniel johnson to hold sloths, etc and it should only be 2 hours (didn't book any extra bells and whistles) do I truly hope we get plenty of time at carnivals beach! Looks like some cool photo opportunities on the little nature path.

We just got back from a cruise a week ago and booked a tour with DJ. We were very comfortable with our taxi-island tour guide. She was a very cautious driver. The Hangout was a fun experience. We really liked our guide, Mike. The monkeys were fun. The sloths were so cute! It was a highlight of our trip!  We had originally booked the iguana farm also but the other couple that was paired up with us had not booked it. Our guide offered to still take us there but she told us the iguanas usually stay up in the trees on overcast days so because it was overcast, we elected not to go there and our money for that portion was refunded to us. We would definitely use this company again.

Hello! Thanks for your information. How long was the walk to meet your ride? Was it easy to find? We will be coming from carnival. Thank you

And…everyone was tired or chickened out of the 4:45.  One more shot later tonight!

 

Time for espresso martinis! 

Looking forward to hearing about auditions! 

Happy cruise day! What is the benefit of priority lounge? Half of our luggage passes say priority as the girls have a family Harbor Suite in the boys have an interior room across the way. I don't know if that means we have access to the lounge or not. But based on an email we got it seems to mean that our room will be ready immediately upon getting on the ship? I don't know, and I don't care as long as I'm on that ship!

Also, what's your arrival time and boarding group? 

Glad u made it safely!  I'm low key nervous about traffic for our Jubilee cruise bc we are staying in Houston... I had Hyatt points about to expire. 

The food looks great and the hotel looks fantastic! 

We board on the 9th, I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts. Thank you!

Also, what toiletries are complimentary? (shopping and packing) thank u for your help. ❤️

Hello! We are staying in a hotel in Baytown the Friday night before the cruise and I'm wondering what to expect as far as traffic and driving into Galveston on Saturday morning. If we have a check-in time of 10:30 for the Jubilee. On a normal day the drive is about 50 minutes . Wondering what time we need to leave . Thank you! 

Book everything u MIGHT want ASAP... I have discovered that you can get a full refund later if you change your mind. I also noticed that some of the more fun cooking classes opened up within 3 weeks of the sailing so check back frequently. Those ones get booked up immediately.

Hey! Thank you for sharing! May I ask a question?

We board in less than 2 weeks. Is the bolt running again? Did u ever see any pickleball other than the random 9pm tournament? 

We are staying in a family Harbor suite on Jubilee that can hold 5. Not sure about other ships... but in my research I occasionally came across other ships that had rooms for five and I can't remember which ones they are.

Do you know why they don't often put rooms that sleep four people Side by side? It's very hard to get connecting rooms to accommodate eight people

The D1 cabins sleep four, the cabin that they are connected to only sleep two or three.  They aren't booking every other cabin, they are just showing you cabins that sleep four.

Ahhhh thank you! 

It is one of my silly Hobbies (or not- so - silly Hobbies) to price out vacations over and over again. Eventually I book them and we are leaving on a cruise in two weeks. However I see the following with Royal Caribbean all the time. Why are they booking every other room? I see this on almost every floor of several ships. It makes it very challenging to get connecting rooms. See picture for an example.

How long after arrival time are you typically boarded? 

We have an arrival time of 1030-11 on our next cruise and I'd like to be able to anticipate that time. Thank you.

Oh my goodness this is heartbreaking. 

I think I'm gonna cancel this one. I was already concerned about one of my kids freaking out in the caves... 

Bummer

I didn’t care for the boat over to the mainland at all. It was quite windy that day and the water was rough. I really did enjoy this excursion but the price and how long you were actually there wasn’t worth it. 

Thanks for that input. How long are u there?
