Suite Heart

Yeah, I find that a lot of peeps don't think to leave a tip for "housekeeping" during, or at the end of, a hotel stay. These room cleaners generally work very hard and don't get paid a lot, so a few $$ is gratefully accepted.

I was remembered by a head bartender on The Joy last March from TWO years previously when I sailed on the Getaway. As I walked into the bar, a voice called out, " Miss ______ ! (My nickname; NOT the name that shows up on their cheat sheets.) Now THAT'S impressive!

Looking forward to your updates. Thanks for doing that!

Just added that to my list of "must trys." Thanks!

Thank you! I'll check it out.

Great! See all of you at the Meet n Greet!

The Joy for April 8th is the third one down. There are 4 pages.

Yeah...I was told a loooong time ago to book the lowest priced cabin IN THE CATEGORY YOU WANT, just to not be disappointed. So, once we sailed The Haven, that was it! Sadly, my husband is no longer with us, so I've chosen to sail alone. In The Haven. Ye$, pricey. That's why I take only one vacation a year.

Yep. $$$🙃 And, of course, if the ship you're going on has The Haven complex (The Joy does have all that.), you have a private restaurant, bar, pool. and courtyard. Also a butler and a concierge. There is a problem with The Haven, though. All together now: 🎵🎵 "Once you do The Haven, there's no going back,"

Have you signed up for the Meet & Greet? I see some peeps from Boca are listed.

Looking for info on how it was/is. I'm considering this ShorEx. Pros and cons are welcome. Thanks! 🐷

Hi, Gary! (You Old Grouch, you😆) Hope you're doing well. Still waiting to run into you and your fam on a cruise. I'm sailing the Joy in April. Yeah...in the Haven. (No wonder I can only afford one vacation a year. LOL!!!)

I was on the Joy i March, and they have single and double go carts. Check the freestyle daily for what times of the day they are available.
