She'd say, "girl, we had our moment. It's just time to pass the baton!" Hits all of us at some point!

I think the best part is this is just the beginning of the cruise! You haven't even fully settled into vacation mode yet!

Yes. I was quite confused by that. How did they seem them from Brazil?!

I wonder if many people don't like the stuffing. I had to ask for more on Thanksgiving. They are clearly using a cookie scooper!

It's made the news https://wpde.com/news/local/man-falls-overboard-from-cruise-ship-off-the-charleston-coast-uscg-united-states-us-coast-guard-southeast-seventh-district-vision-of-the-seas-south-carolina-sc-wciv

We left on Indy that day. POM was insane! We boarded around 1:30, at least 40 minutes later than I thought we would.

I'll take that view! Should be a nice, comfortable day in the Orlando-area. Sorry for what that family is going thru. And I hope everyone else has a wonderful day on or off ship! Merry Christmas Eve!

So early! I've only sailed from FL and it's always later. Enjoy your cruise and Merry Christmas! I'm enjoying this review already!

Was there any info as to future stops being canceled as well? We happen to love Labadee and are scheduled late Jan.

Where was the head doctor coming from? I wonder if he has different rates than the "lower level" doctor.

You didn't mention the week you have in mind. Spring break for both Miami-Dade and Broward is the last week of March. There will be lots of young people on board. We both work in education so it's the week we sail as well, but we're used to it!

We ate most nights in the WJ on Indy over Thanksgiving week. They turn down the lights, the music is soft and you can sit anywhere as it's never crowded. I love it.

I've often taken them apart and used the towels. Is that not the right thing to do? Lol

Stateroom attendants, yes. I have asked more than once. I haven't inquired about the others as it's not as important to me.

I felt bad because I met a group of first-time cruisers. Told them how beautiful the ship will look Fri or Sat all decorated, they can take pictures, etc. Glad I didn't see them again.

Left Independence this morning and not one decoration was up. I had seen on FB that Liberty was decorating so that was a tad disappointing!

I opt out. Got off Indy this morning. Room attendant got $100. We ate in MDR twice. Each waiter got $25. Had deluxe drink pkg of which grats are already included - left additional $10 at Skybar and $40 at Boleros where we were most of the week. The bartenders were beyond great. Gave $10 each to the guys doing the jetski tour at Labadee. They were great and patient with my daughter and I. Doesn't matter to me what people think about our tipping. I will always tip those that I feel made a difference.

Thank you for posting that. Obviously, someone's not going to cancel over $125 but I didn't know they could just "update the reservation" like that especially after you've paid in full. Guess it's in the contract somewhere.

How do they phrase that in the email? Pay it or don't go?

I think this was a very fair review and I enjoyed reading. I know many people like leisurely meals but 2+ hrs at Chops is way too long to me. That mother/daughter time must have been very nice!

We leave next Sunday (11/19) and the menus showed up late last night.

Pretty sure that didn't need to be said.

Yep. So many early sales this year. Walmart starts 11/8.

It's interesting to say you don't believe people tip in cash and then say that you tip even beyond daily rates. I'll just take people at their word because who really knows.
