Trying to post some pictures for you from today in Funchal

Captain also announced that this will not affect our Sunday arrival to Madeira.

In December did the tour to the top of Mount Isabelle to see the views from the cable car station and to see the Christ the Redeemer statue. Then our bus took us to town, where we had a guided tour of the chocolate factory and the downtown area. The next time we went we stayed in the port area, had lunch and shopped.

Wizard of Oz on Icon was Really Good!

They may wait to hype this new class until Star is launched.

Waiting to hear more details about the partnership with Hard Rock and whether we will get some great hotel deals.

Icon is excluded. For your Prime cruise, you must book and sail by March 31, 2025, any 7- day cruise that is not on the excluded list.

I would have loved to have gone to Grand Turk on Independence, instead of CocoCay. It has been a while since we went to Grand Turk, we were on Carnival.

And Independence is also cancelling for September.

Another cancellation

We are retired and live in South Florida. We try to cruise at least once a month, but will cruise more if we get deals/discounts through the casino. Many of our cruises are 4 days, so we will try to add on a 3-day to make it a week or more. We are also trying to do our bucket list travel cruises now, while we are both healthy and mobile.

Just saw on a FB page that Adventure of the Seas pulled into Labadee at midnight one night and delivered supplies. The supplies might be for the people living there?

We saw Showband last month on Icon. I enjoyed it but my husband got bored with it.

I believe Izumi is Deck 4 forward on Indy

We loved Coastal Kitchen on Icon. It is the only two-story CK in the fleet. We also loved the Suite Sun Deck and the Grove (buffet area with sandwiches and small plates, open usually in the afternoon). IMG_3255.mov

Yay a live review from Sue!! Looking forward to following along. I was hoping to use my just-released annual casino cruise for Icon for next March, but since Icon is excluded, now looking at Symphony.

Good luck and have a wonderful family cruise!!

Yes, this is true. Currently on Freedom B3B and moved this morning from balcony cabin 6634, next door to 6636. Both cabins have the bed by the balcony.

Go up to Coastal Kitchen as soon as you board and tell the host that you would like to make a dinner reservation and see what he says. That is a repositioning cruise and besides Suites, may have a lot of Pinnacles onboard. But if you check early with CK, you will probably be able to get reservations for several nights. You may have to be flexible with the time/times that you dine. Good luck!

It is not a problem. They will verbally ask you the two health questions when you check in at the port.

Found my video from last September, 6:36 PM, going until the bridge. IMG_1506.mov

September 12,2023, we went under the bridge at 6:36 PM

This is the cabin we had on the Escape and my husband still talks about it as his favorite balcony!

Was just reading the Blog and wondering if it means changes are coming to the Crown and Anchor program.

The first night filet in CK is really good!
