I hope you have a safe and fun cruise. I would love to see some pics! Walking on board is a great feeling!

Why are you cutting back so much on your dinner. 😆 looks like you are having a great time. Enjoy

I want to try Celebrity but I need to get familiar with the ships. I finally got my RC status transferred to Celebrity. Maybe if I check out the Celebrity forum I can get a better understanding of it. Have fun. Looking forward to hearing how you liked it and seeing pics.

Growing up I remember having Oyster stuffing. Our family doesn't even like the thought of it.

How was the fish. It looks good. Last year I had a bad experience with it in the MDR. I couldn't understand the waiter was saying they didn't have their regular fish and they were substituting it with another. I love eating good fish and making a taco out of it would be nice. Allure now has El Loco Fresh. I might try that trick.

The sous vide method just made it too good. My oldest DD and I are the two that love turkey. My youngest DD and Sharon can do without it but once everyone tasted it.... gone. I usually have enough to make sandwiches with some of the leftover rolls. Soooo good. I need to just make me another one.

You can't cook everything. Kitchens have limits. Just ask the chefs on Symphony. 😆

I have been banned from climbing up ladders past a few feet. I still sneak a small one into the garden.

Happy for you. Thankful all worked out for you.

Coco Cay. I like them both. More choices at Coco Cay. You can enjoy the slides and the pools or you can find less crowded beach areas if you are willing to walk.

With 7 grandchildren it is getting louder each get together but hey, I can handle that and they have so much fun together. The SIL's got together and cleaned up after the meal too. 😃

Congrats. I too am surprised how early they informed you that you got the room. It's nice you have had 3 now. We were upgraded twice last year but nothing this year. Our last cruise showed no suites available at least a month out and our next January shows only 2 jr suites as of today. Those GS's sure can spoil you. Enjoy your cruise.

We had our family get together to celebrate Thanksgiving last weekend. I sous vide the turkey and it came out great. This year there was only 1 1/2 pieces left to make a sandwich with the next day. We also had some great ham. Sharon always makes rolls from a recipe pasted down from her grandmother. And we always have green bean casserole and a sweet potato casserole with pecans (no pic) that was so good it was like eating dessert. We also had pumpkin pie, Kentucky Derby pie, deviled eggs and other stuff I can't remember..... oh stuffing.... I ate more than I did at any specialty restaurants with the UDP. 😆 I added more after the pic. I guess we had peas and mash potatoes too. As good as the meal was, getting the family together was even more enjoyable.

I agree. Love the pics and would be happy to see more @sea2shiningsea.

😆 You got me too! I was like, cr@p 😳, I can't believe it! I hit the guide and looked back a couple hours and then went to Wednesday........

It's been years ago but we had a similar deal happen. We agreed to cruise a few weeks later and only had to pay port fees and taxes. The rest was refunded.

We spent almost all day at Cococay's Thrill Waterpark the last 2 times there and we did not see jellyfish or sharks. 😉

Hate to hear the MDR problems. The Ovation staff last May was thin and assigned to many tables. We also had a 1st time main waiter who had an assistant that had never worked the MDR. They tried their best. The experience convinced us to try the UDP on our Allure cruise last month. I hope it gets better for you. I am enjoying the pics. Thanks for taking the time to share.

I was wondering 🤔 why no one had said coke.

I love the reflection of the clouds. It looks like a cool place to visit.

I bet you will catch an easier and better pic of the Lighthouse than I got! 😆 Sounds like a fun cruise.

I guess just order three 5 night plans each. 😆. That would be a lot of eating!

The 3 night package for $95 is good. Right now ours is showing $113 which is what it has been for awhile. The norm was $110 but everything has bumped up. The UDP for our 7 day cruise is $226 which is about what we paid for the 8 day. With the plans you just go to about any specialty restaurant to make reservations for whatever is available. Just make sure you do it as soon as you board. Do they offer an UDP for a 16 day cruise? I bet that would be expensive.

I am glad it worked out for you. It looks like it has worked for some, not so good for others. RC IT. 🤪 Have you tried Wonderland land before? We enjoyed it on Symphony and Harmony last year. I forget what ship you are on in March. I was looking for a good 3 day meal plan but no real sale on it and the UDP was not great. That's a great waterpark price. Surprised you didn't get tickets too! We really enjoyed it and you can get some great pics from the top of the slides too. I am off to sous vide a turkey breast. I guess it has become an annual thing now!.

It's back up. For our cruise the planner is offering $14.99 plus $11.99 for each additional device. We got it awhile back. Ours averaged $11.75 each. So we still saved a little.
