We loved our Cove Balcony 2264 on the Breeze so much that we booked the same room on the Magic for the next cruise ....  We have had 6 other balconies but the Cove has been our fav as we love being near the water ....   Being in 2264 we were far enough forward to see the spray but also far enough back to not get wet by it :-) 

How much is the Shot if you order a shot of Rum for example ??

I have not used them Judy but I I notice they had lots of dresses exactly the same as on Sammy Dress but the prices on Sammy Dress was 1/3 of the price .... I have ordered many items from Sammy Dress and only had a couple of items be too small .... I ordered some t shirts for David and they were way too small so I gifted them to a friend and I have had to go up 2 sizes for my dresses but seeing that it is coming from hong kong I think the sizing is different ... you just have to really read the sizing details and you can always email them for exact sizing questions .... I have ordered many maxi dresses and loved them all but two ( I underestimated the sizing at first) you just have to replace the ***** with sammy dress.

I did try the back door and it also says my reservation does not exist but yet RCL and my TA can sometimes see it :(

Have you tried the back door:

We have been booked since May 31st and still cannot get logged into our booking ... I have called RCL and my TA several time and they can see the reservation but I cannot .... They said they do not know why but it "just happens" to some reservations .... so frustrating !!

I still cannot even see my reservation and have left messages and sent email to RCL but still nothing .... Is anyone else still having problems ... I signed up for the cruise with my TA on may 31st and have not been able to get into my reservation whether I am logged in RCL or not :(

Beautiful Choice Marie ... I know you will look smashing in anything you decide to take :-)

Marie ..... Love your style :-) and the hats look fantastic !! I have always loved hats but could never find one to fit my big head and hair lol ... I have hat envy :-) Enjoy the upcoming spring/summer season :-) ... Luv and God Bless Cathie

I think this is one of the dresses I'm going to wear on a formal evening (Princess AK cruise- i've seen mixed views on how dressy theses cruises are).

 

Hopefully this is suitable!

Lovely Dress :-) Dave and I were married on Princess and we have cruised Princess, Royal, Celebrity and Carnival and we see all levels of dressing up .... I have seen Maxi dresses to full blown ball gowns .. I say as long as you follow the cruise line guidelines and feel pretty then wear it ... Dress for yourself and your significant other and your smile will show in your cruise pictures :-) Have a wonderful cruise .... Our next one is not until Dec 2018 - 2 week Hawaii so I am having cruise envy lol

Thank you ladies :-) I am a full figure girl and clothing pricing in Canada is ridiculous ... A maxi dress like the ones from sammy dress can be $50, $100 or more on clearance depending on the store ... Now mind you it does take about 5-6 weeks to get my order as it comes over seas and it goes through customs clearance also I had to pay about $30 in duty but still the dresses ranges from $12 to $20 and the wraps were from $6-$7 each and the Costume Jewelry from about $3 to $8 ( the only real ones I wear on a cruise are my actual wedding rings and other rings otherwise if we go into the sea snorkling I switch to wear costume jewelry as I had a friend lose her wedding rings to the sea in the rough waters) and if I lose the Costume Jewelry then I am not too worried as it did not cost much :-) so for the cost savings I can wait 4-6 weeks lol I just order ahead of the season I want lol I only had one item not be exactly what I ordered as it was a little too large so for the price I just gifted it to a friend .... I have been very happy with the quality of Maxi dresses from Sammy Dress ....and for the large price saving I am fine with paying $30 duty for 10 dresses - duty ends up being so little per item and even paying the exchange rate it is still such a large savings which means more $$ for future cruises :-)

and a couple of cute costume jewelry pieces to have fun with

Not worth a lot of money but cute for a cruise and not worried if I lost them :-)

And the wraps :-) noted: the wraps are not necessarily for these dresses but for maybe my black dresses

Great Picture and sounds like a fantastic experience that you and Ken got to enjoy :-)

For those of you who are my friends on Facebook, you know the story behind this picture.

 

For those who are not, this picture was taken in Bali. The ship had an event for around the world cruisers. We did not go. We and two other couples were invited by our friends to spend two days with them. We had our pictures taken by a famous photographer and we got to met the King.

Hi ReneeFLL

LOL I meant to say I started to get silvers in my 20's but I kept colouring it until the spring when I turned 49 lol

QUOTE=ReneeFLL;51558743]Hi Cat,

I think your hair looks nice. Wished my hair looked like that. Mine has been baby fine and super soft from day one. To get a perm to take they have to go overboard and then it doesn't even last very long. I gave that up a long time ago. I don't understand one of your comments. I'm not going silver yet, but it will happen so I would like to know what this means. Sorry to be so clueless.

I am understanding you are getting silver hair, but what does "in my silvers" mean? TIA

Thank you ladies ... Dave (my husband) tells me the two 1st dresses are on their way and I have put in the order for the one I will use as a beach cover up :-)

I having been growing in my silvers over the past 2 years ( I had a health scare and decide I had enough with the amount of chemicals I was putting on my hair ) so I am finding that as my hair lightens I am drawn to lots of colour .... I am enjoying the transition ... I started going silver in my silvers but when I got sick a few years ago it just grew and grew and grew and it is much soft than my dark hair was and more wavy lol .... I told Dave let's see what it looks like once it all grows in and if I do not like it I will change it lol ... you know like getting new summer dresses lol but I am liking it ...

And I am considering this for a beach cover-up because I love all the colours but have not decided yet

I have ordered 2 colouful maxi dresses for both summer and also holidays as a nice casual dress and also my old standby sparkly black dress which I love ( it has panel inserts and it swishes back and forth when I walk and I love it !!) :-)

Beautiful choices Marie for your upcoming cruise !!

Have a wonderful time !

Love and God Bless

Cathie and David

Marie :-)

Your dresses are beautiful and your giving, generous spirit even more beautiful :)

Have fun on your next cruise ....

If I was your size I would have loved to own a "Marie Gown" but alas I am full figured :-) But I love seeing all your beautiful gowns !!

Have a wonderful start to your next week

Love and God Bless

Cathie

We are going on a Hawaii cruise ....and I was reading the following with regards to Cheers .... Has anyone purchase Cheers and did this happen to you ?

----------

Applicable state and local taxes will be charged to the guest folio when this program is used within US waters. The tax is based on the state's tax structure and the cost of the individual drink purchased (not the daily program rate). For example: if the drink price is $5 and the tax is 10%, the guest's Sail & Sign card will be charged $0.50 for tax. This applies to all US ports (embarkation home ports and ports-of-call).

I have seen both fancy and casual posted :-) Looking forward to seeing your dresses :-) we do not always see plus size outfits .... also please post if you will ship to USA and Canada ... Have a great weekend coming up :)

Hi Gerry ... Love your boarding outfit and love the patterned pants !!! ... Have a great time on your cruise :)

Ok I need to see what everyone thinks of this outfit for a boarding outfit for our June cruise . I have never worn bold colors and patterns for pants before so trying to get out of my comfort zone and just looking for some opinions.

 

Have a great day everyone

Gerry

We purchased the OBC at 22.40% when the bank was charging 43.10% so it made more sense to buy the OBC and then do the restaurant and excursion purchases once we boarded using the OBC ... We did not have a specific time frame for restaurants or specific excursions in mind that we just had to have or I would have just bought them with the credit card exchange of 43.10%

Thanks again everyone for all your insights as it was very helpful :)

Have a great week ahead

Cat:)
