Woke up yesterday and found out my wife had booked (I'm not mad at her 😁) the Jubilee out of Galveston for Christmas 2024. It is our Homeport and super easy to drive to. Rate was $100 pp and had $750 OBC along with drinks on us in the casino. (We usually do Cheers) So excited to see the new ship. Our original Jubilee cruise was cancelled for early December 2023, which allowed us to book the Venezia for 15-day in late September 2023. Everything happens for a reason, they say...... Happy Cruising y'all Dan

phew... better late than never. Screw french doors anyways 🤣

Very nice! Had no idea. 👍

two bottles of... water? Or something else? Water, for gold, platinum and diamond perks can be got at most bars since Covid. If something else, then I am not sure. Cheers!

They will charge you for drinks regularly with NY tax on the embarkation day. Then, for example, if you are on a 7 day cruise, you only pay for CHEERS, for 6 days. Same as Texas embarkations.

Love your sense of humor. We could be brothers from another mother. Love your report and stories... and of course the pictures. We live in the DFW area as well. Glad you guys had an amazing trip. ** Came out of Lurking mode **

SG... FOLLOWED YOUR REVIEWS FOR YEARS. I love the details and commitment you have to sharing your vacation with us. Cracked up seeing your Whataburger Ketchup holder earlier. I am retired Air Force and live in the DFW area. Will be on the ship in September with Jamman and Patti for the 15 day. Loving it all! Have a great time!

Meh, Coffee 🤣

Not sure about the first question as I do not do wifi calling/texting. My wife is on now and we communicate by Fa-ce-bo-ook messenger. With Social. If you want apps other than the regular social media apps listed, you will need at least Value. No, if you both have a plan, both of you can be on at same time.

Great minds think alike. 😁

Oh man, I am a dummy. I thought he was going over there beforehand to do some training.... like he had international affiliates of a company he was going to to receive or give training. Not to do some "training", like ALL ABOARD! ChooChoo. Carry on.... where were we? 🤪🤣

Awesome trip! I'll be following along as we are sharing 15 of the 21 days @Jamman54 will be on here. Your trip sounds epic!

Same for my wife and I. When we get back from this long one l start accruing more. And I'll book another cruise. It's a cycle. Lol

The cards arrived today. So 6 days from order to arrival to Texas from Illinois. Not too shabby!

You are correct, Sir about happy wife. Smart move about the B2B. We can't swing it as I am already 2 days short of vacation days for the 12 days I need already for the 18 days off I am taking. LMAO

Hello again, Jeff. Still loving the review. Much thanks to you and Patti for always being so thorough and informative. Patti's pictures are amazing, like always. Counting down the days til our September Venezia cruise. Wife is on the Panorama right now with our daughter and her two friends for a girls trip. No guys allowed. So, here I am at work........ 🙄

Additionally, we had $400 OBC from the booking and the cancellation of our Jubilee cruise we had booked by Carnival.

We are doing the 15-day Venezia in September 2023 for $100 pp. So, it was a no brainer to book the steakhouse, Il Viaggio, and Bonsai Teppenyaki on 3 of the 7 Sea days. Just an extra date night with my love as we travel through the Southern Caribbean. We are excited! While the price may be a little high, hopefully the experience will be worth it. My wife was excited by the menu, and that RARELY happens, so I'll take it!

Me too! I was thinking to myself..... self, you need a NEW Planner. Where do I get one?? But I am tracking and following along now.

I'm all aboard for another Jeff and Patti adventure!!! Awesome start and loved the nostalgia memory. My heart still hurts thinking about him. Hugs!

Fact: I ONLY have to purchase CHEERS for 14 days on the 15 day cruise! 🙄🤣🤪

I saw you post that earlier. Definitely something to keep in mind. I am doing it for the $1800+ for a drink package on a 15 day cruise and gratuities.

Exactly, right!

Thank you, NinjaCat. We cannot wait to sail on her! Sea days do make a difference. Cannot wait for the three on the way back to NYC.
