We go more for the food than the rides ! Any Epcot festival is a great day , or two. We bought a house in Orlando awhile ago and my sister-in-law hasn’t seen it yet and she is coming with us, always fun with a newbie!! We will head over to Jetty Park near Port Canaveral one weekend day to watch the cruise ships leave . With a trip to Fishlips first! mac_tlc

Certainly agree with the current price points. The 4 bedroom Villa suite on Symphony in summer 2025 is more than double what it was on Harmony in 2022. Others must agree because it is still available for a number of summer 2025 sailings. It usually disappears as soon as bookings open. mac_tlc

Enjoying you Disney pix. My first trip was in 1973 with my Mom. I guess I liked it because trip #107 is next week! Looking forward to your TA adventures! My wife and I love the sea days. She prefers slightly smaller ships than the mega ships unless the grandkids are coming along. She has some mobility issues and uses a wheelchair occasionally if a lot of walking is involved. Interested in your experience/observations . mac_tlc

Looking forward to following along. We visited Ponta Delgada a few years ago and still talk about it. Beautiful place.

And I think that 12,000 was before Hideaway Beach opened. There are 7 or so days in April and the same number in May where only one ship is scheduled, fewer later in the year once Utopia starts sailing. It is very nice with only one. Of course, some of those single ship days are Icon days which has 7000 of its own folks. mac_tlc

According to CruiseMapper, you will be the first X ship there, with 6000 RCL relatives! We enjoy the lagoon pool and swim up bar before it gets crowded and loud.

Enjoying watching the videos, thanks ! mac_tlc

I have also received my 3 Points.

Open to all. Just booked the 8 day 4/4/2026 Silhouette to ABC islands. May add the preceding 6 day, or look to something else for a S2S. Oceania Allura transatlantic on 4/14/26 is intriguing. mac_tlc

But…..😂😂😂

Thank you for your review and all the food pics , but......... eight days and no french onion soup 🤣🤣🤣. My wife and I get it almost every night...... mac_tlc

For us, it’s a mobility issue. We would choose the V1 category right near the elevators on deck 8. We enjoy the wake view but the walk is an issue. It’s also an hassle many times dodging the stateroom attendant carts and empty room service trays with a wheelchair. We try to avoid the “push-stop-get up-walk-stop-sit down- push” cycle as much as possible. Only in Alaska and Norway do we an aft or sunset veranda. mac_tlc

Looks like you are having a great time. We enjoyed Matt Johnson on Beyond in February. He did an afternoon show later 8n the cruise that was completely different from his first show. Very well attended. Love the Cafe alBacio picture! It’s our favorite place on the ship ! Almond croissant anyone? mac_tlc

I think we are about to book the Silhouette for March 2026 to go to the ABC islands. Would you like to join us ? 😏😏. We are “lone wolves” on this thread . We actually really enjoy the E class Retreat experience 😂😂😂. Of course there are a couple of things we would change, but for what we like — fabulous shows, game shows, trivia, casino — they are excellent. The theaters are second to none. We love the ocean views from the Retreat Lounge. Even in our early years, we have never sat at a bar for a drink so the lack of bar seating is not a negative for us . The sunset bar, particularly on Beyond and Ascent is stunning —- maybe they should have let Nate Bermuda design the Retreat Lounge😂. One of the main reasons we will hop back to S-class is so we can have access to the MDR menu in Luminae. It’s all good, we enjoy them all —- choice is good. mac_tlc

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Our waiter on Beyond in February was Rozi, and Victor was delivering all the Bourbon and Peaches ! Rozi was great , his wife is a server in Eden. If you run across him, let him know Michael and Terri say hello !!! I’m getting thirsty ! mac_tlc

You are very welcome!! Love to watch Sailaway and wish I was onboard. Have another dozen Bourbon and Peaches for me!! mac_tlc

Have a great trip !

Time to move on out!

I miss me some Bourbon and Peaches !!!!

She has arrived !

Here is what Margaritaville looks like now.

Last year, and again this year, they are closed from June 1 through August 31 during hurricane season. I agree Mark, Jane, David and Julie are wonderful hosts! mac_tlc

That’s why we use WhatsApp to “text” with our Android friends….. Not sure what our alarm uses but we have gotten notifications of an “event”. mac_tlc

We have been to Falmouth a number of times, most recently on Beyond in February. By far, I find this to be the highlight:

App and website not working for me. I’ll wait awhile to see if they can get it working again. mac_tlc
