Nope, not really. We won't be leaving the port area.

I usually go for lunch, so that makes sense. Absolutely, the fresher the food, the better.

I love espresso and I love martinis, but not too keen on overly sweet cocktails. How sweet are they and where on the ship makes the best?

The only time I won't eat fries is if they are cold and soggy.

It seems to me that all of the burgers should be fresh because there is always a line to get them. Every time I go to get one, there's a line.

We've been to Pirates of the Caribbean twice. It's a pretty intense zip line. On other cruises to Roatan, we just hang around the port or go to the beach there.

FTTF is 139.99 for our upcoming 7 day cruise. We have no tendered ports. We used to get it when it was 50.00. I can see if you have small kids so you can take your luggage to your cabin, other than that, a waste of money IMO.

We flew to Miami on the morning of our first cruise from Atlanta. We really didn't know any better. Our flight was around 9am. The weather turned ugly. There were tornado watches for most of the state. Our plane was over 2 hours late leaving. We made it in time, but we learned our lesson. You just never know what could happen. Thankfully the ride to the port was noneventful. We learned our lesson, we always leave a day or two early.

I've been to several piano bars on several ships. We never stay long because we are underwhelmed with the talent. Then you have a bunch of passengers with alchohol fueled singing and well, you know. I am not finding fault with either because people are having fun. It's just not our kind of fun.

They have gift cards available all the time. We got a $500 from them a few weeks ago. Our go to for discounted gifts cards is still AARP.

Chose the Vista. A 5 day cruise just makes me mad. What am I saying? A 6 day makes me mad, too. 😉

We requested the same server for a party of 6 for the entire 7 day cruise. I think the servers prefer this. They get to know you.

There is nothing like a sunrise and sunset on the ocean.

Has anyone tried Emeril's fried green tomatoes?

Report back after your cruise. Enjoy!

Yum. I make my own creamsicle using bon voyage vodka, orange juice from breakfast and soft serve ice cream.

That and finding a place to sit and people watch while having an adult beverage or two. Some of my favorite activities. 🍸

This is a question better asked to Barclay Mastercard.

Where have you been? No more tiny umbrellas.

Yep.

Of course I am referring to American pizza which is what the majority of Americans are familiar with. I had an "authentic" Italian pizza once made by an Italian neighbor. It was more like flat bread with olive oil, garlic and some kind of green. I think it might have had a shaving or two of some kind of hard cheese. It was delicious, but not something I would call a pizza.

We always book high and forward balcony cabins. Usually a spa cabin. I haven't noticed bad wind. The balcony is covered on 3 sides, we are not bothered. Oops, just reread your post. I realized you are talking about a forward facing balcony. Sorry.

I have one of these I brought on a cruise, but I was at a loss as to what to do with my sunglasses. I would lay them down on tables, counters, etc. So I carry a small cross body that will fit a few small things.

It will stay on the gift card. They can cash out any remaining money on the gift card at the casino on the last night of the cruise.

They aren't pizzas 😂
