This ends day 8’s trip report. Day 9 will be very short as we left for home early in the morning

Don't forget exclusive interviews with wife and kids. Inquiring minds want to know.

 

 

 

I noticed on your info that you have been with cc for almost 3 years but this is only your second post.

Ha ha Harry. Thus is the great power of your review. You pulled me out of my 3 year lurk fest to comment. It must have been the urinal talk.

Enjoying your review. We were supposed to sail Allure this March but I got out voted and are hitting Diagon Alley at Universal instead. So the Allure trip has to wait a whole year. So I got to live vicariously through your review. I'm sure they will be changing out the entertainment. I don't know if they still plan on switching her to dynamic dining since the roll out on Quantum was so poorly received. Anyhow dry dock is around the corner so Allure will never be the same ship. I loved the pictures of your beautiful family. You are so blessed. Thank you for sharing them with us.

As a mom I wanted to drop you a line about pulling the kids out of school. Like your wife I take the kids education very seriously. We don't mess around all year. However at least once a year I pull them out for a vacation. Usually in either March or September. One main reason is because of the exorbitant cost saving which you noted earlier. Makes our vacation dollars stretch. But the second reason I give my kids is that there is more to education than school. You can only learn so much in a classroom. I consider the trips we take to be an educational experience. From learning how to plan and budget well to how to interact with different cultures. Not to mention all the things we learn about where we go. And the value of family time has incalculable value. Just thought you could pull out my reasoning next time you negotiate time out of school with your wife.
