I'm an MLife member as well -- only through our C&A status; we don't gamble much.

We had booked a Celebrity Cruise for last December, directly through Celebrity.  Booked an Anthem cruise for April through a TA.  Read somewhere about the OBC offer and was able to get $125 for our X cruise, but nothing for Anthem because we used a TA.  Booked Harmony, May 2020, directly with Royal, but MLife won't give OBC for this cruise.  Is it a one and done offer?

Thanks!

We've had a deck 6 oceanview balcony on Oasis behind the DogHouse -- there was never a problem with noise.

I thought I was being so clever using the extra passport photos.  Guess we'll get new photos taken in a few weeks!

So glad that Fluffy is home where he belongs.  Maybe Fluffy should adopt an identical sibling?

How was the day trip to WDW?  

Shouldn't be allowed in a venue that serves food....if the man thinks he can't get through a meal...eat in his cabin. This man needs to be on medication....but more than likely is using the fact that there's no way to check as an excuse to get away with this. 

Thanks for another fun cruise!

When and where are we going next? I’m ready to roll!

Saw our cabin from our December 2018 Equinox cruise.

You have our old Knight Max Domi. Glad to see he’s on a team way better than The Coyotes.  Who ever would have thought the Islanders would be above Pittsburgh and The Capitals at the end of the season. Detroit is suffering....
 
Go Leafs.

Congrats to Owen and his team!!

Following along, as usual!

I've seen mentioned a few times that Diamond benefits have been reduced and added to the Key.  Anyone want to elaborate?  I haven't seen anything in the Key benefits that are currently Diamond benefits.  I really don't care about boarding after 100 Key cruisers.  

Cape Liberty is certainly not a pretty port, since it's pretty industrial, but as long as I'm getting on a ship, I don't care what it looks like!

Following along on your cruise!  Hope I get a lot more cruises in, but I'd want our girls (3 of them) to honor me by going on a cruise, too.  

Have fun!

Thanks for taking this over, DeltaBlue!  

We had Dennis (then Sciortino) on our Brilliance cruise in 2008!  We liked him just fine.  Found him to be very approachable and friendly.  We really liked the entertainment in the Schooner Bar that cruise, so spent a lot of time there.  Dennis would often stop in after a show to hang out with us.  At that time, he said he was just a fill-in CD because he'd been with RCCL for so long.  I was surprised to see him back to being on a regular schedule as CD.  I'll try to remember to report back after our end of April Anthem cruise (his last cruise before break).  I'm sure this thread will still be going strong!

Thanks for taking us along on your cruise!  It was a very nice tribute to Trainman. Hope to sail Harmony or Symphony in 2020!  So many ships...so little cruising time (and $$$)!

At Costa Maya, there's also an aviary you can visit and a swim with dolphins activity (each costs, of course).  I can't remember how many ships were there in December, but we we able to find two loungers by the pool fairly quickly.  I do remember it was crowded!

Just checked for our upcoming Anthem cruise.  It, too, has gone up to $31.99!  WOW!  That's quite the price hike.

Looking forward to virtually cruising with you!  Nice way to pass the time while waiting for my turn!

Thank you, Andrew and Lisa, for taking us along on another fun-filled cruise!  Hope you'll do another live thread on your March cruise -- that should hold me over until the end of April!

Bella is just too cute.  We've had her cousins for many years (Scotties); I'd love to have a Westie someday.

Other than remarking on Bella, what really caught my eye was that your road trip may take you to RI.  My home state!  We go whenever we can to visit family (my MIL is 97), but we'd never think of just going there!

To bring this back to the subject line; we were pleasantly surprised to find our first (and only) crystal block on our desk on our last Anthem cruise in April 2016.  We would hit 140 nights at the end of that 12-day cruise, so we were happy when it showed up with a few cruise days left.  Even better was that we had driven to Cape Liberty, so bringing it home was no problem.

 List done. 
 



You brought morphine with you? [emoji38][emoji38]

So happy I found this early in the week and not on Friday, as per my usual...

Thanks for taking us along!  We still have almost 3 months to go.  Even though we just got off a cruise 6 weeks ago, it seems like forever...

Snowing here in Virginia (northern) now, but we'll nothing compared to Canada, but it'll shut down the area as though it's multiple feet!

Really late to the party, but thank you, Marie and Bill for taking us along on your birthday cruise!  And Happy Belated Birthday, Bill!

Tapatalk is alive and well and includes CC on iPhone, too.  Just re-downloaded and logged in this morning.

Place our luggage outside our door before 10pm? Uh, no thanks. Not going to just place outside the door for any Joe Schmoe to take it. I’ll have to ask them if I can instead drop the luggage off somewhere. 

Like everyone has said -- it's common practice on all cruiselines.  Just don't put anything you'll need the next morning, like clothes and toiletries (keep out a duffel or extra totebag in order to carry those off the ship) OR anything of value.  

We always have a rolling carryon with us, which holds the camera, chargers, and meds.  And we use TSA locks until we get to the airport.  We never use locks when we check luggage -- we've had too many locks damaged and lost at the airport in the past.  However, before going to the ship the next day (we always fly in at least one day early), the locks go back on.

Have a great first cruise!  Hope you become addicted like the rest of us!!

Hi Harry,

Good to see you back!  Last I remember, you were going to cruise on Anthem.  Guess that was cancelled to go to WDW instead?

Anthem in our next cruise; tried out Celebrity in December.  It was good, and we're looking into trying Celebrity Edge, but not for a while yet.  Want those "new" ship prices to come down a little.  We may be within driving distance of FLL by then, too.  We're heading to a long overdue WDW vacation in the fall (last was December 2013, when DH had just chipped his shoulder, and was in a sling.  So this next trip is a do-over!

So, of course, I'm interested in your Disney photos!  You can e-mail me at going cruisin at yahoo (remove all the spaces)

We went to the new MGM in Maryland (day trip) in the fall.  I went to the MLife desk to get my card, etc.  In addition to all the perks already mentioned, we were able to get $125 OBC on our Celebrity cruise in December.  This only works if you book direct with the cruise line.  We're not able to get it for our April cruise since we used a TA.

But next time...
