perfect match

Dan, thank you for a great review! I enjoyed cruising along with you and your family. Can’t wait till the next time! 😀🛳

We just recently got Air Tags thanks to a set of keys with one of those pricey key fobs falling out of DH’s pocket and getting lost. We figured out quickly that since the car wouldn’t start without one of our key fobs in the car that they were in the car. We tore the car apart and couldn’t find them anywhere. The next day we headed out to do some errands. We were about a block away from our house when DH tells me to turn the car around and go home. He slid his hand in between the car seat and center console and his hand landed landed right on the keys! We went back home and I started researching Air Tags. We have not needed them for lost items yet but have run tests with them that were very successful. We’re looking forward to a lot less stress the next time something we’ve tagged goes missing! 😀

I was hoping you would be taking us along with you! Thank you! 😃 I didn’t know or was your birthday 🥳, makes it even better! we have never cruised on either of our birthdays, nor any of the major holidays. We like to celebrate them at home with family and friends who would be unlikely to be able to join us on a cruise. We do like to cruise on our anniversary, which we have done a number of times and will continue to do for as long as we are able to cruise. 🛳 I’m late getting started here, so I’m off to go catch up with you, Lisa, and Owen. You’re here in Florida already and I’m just getting started! Thank you very much for leaving that cold 🥶 weather back in Canada 🇨🇦 when you headed south. The plants in my yard, at least the ones that haven’t frozen to death already are very grateful

I love that they’re serving brunch! We had brunch on our last cruise on Harmony in September on all three sea days. I’m definitely not a morning person, so being able to sleep in until what I consider a decent hour and still be able to sit down to a nice breakfast was a highlight of the cruise for me. I hope brunch continues to be offered!

Thanks for doing this review, @Rubyfisch. I’m enjoying cruising along with you.

Thanks for doing this review! I remember your family review from your Harmony cruise a while back that was a very enjoyable read. I also thought your kids looked familiar in the picture here before you mentioned the Harmony review. I’m looking forward to cruising along with you and your immediate family again. This cruise should be fun! 🛳

Thanks, @BecciBoo, for the Odyssey review. We will be sailing her in April and I can’t wait! In the meantime, the Odyssey reviews Odyssey reviews I’m finding will have to carry me through until April, so I can’t get enough of them.

Love your topic! We’ll be sailing our first Quantum class ship, Odyssey, next year. Normally I book more for the itinerary than the ship, although the choice of ship is a close second. Our upcoming Odyssey cruise is all about the ship and I’m excited about that! I’m looking for any tips I can get before we sail.

I am rethinking my idea that I’d like to try cruising out of Tampa in the near future. My luck on previous attempts to do so has not been good, but fog wasn’t the problem. One cruise was chartered out from under us, then there was Covid. No fog cancellations for us, but wow, that’s quite the boarding fiasco on the November 26 Serenade sailing! I don’t think my body would have handled that delay very well at all. It must have been a staffing nightmare, too, with workers who had expected to be there in the early AM suddenly having to be there at night.

Thank you for taking the time to share this not so mini review with us, @niksmom630. Allure is my current favorite ship, so it was good to see her again.

Odyssey Of The Seas in April. 😎🛳

This should be fun! I’m along for the ride. We had a great time on Harmony when we sailed this past September. Hope you have as much fun as we did.

Great review, Stealthdog! Love the pictures, and you’ve posted some great tips! We can’t wait until it’s our turn on Odyssey in April! We had some of our door magnets “relocated” on our Harmony cruise this past September. At first they were just moved to different places on our door. Then they were turned upside down. Then moved several doors down the hall. The magnets were Disney ones, Mickey and Minnie. After they ended up down the hall from us, I decided that Mickey and Minnie must have gotten themselves Deluxe beverage packages and been partying too much so for the rest of the cruise they were restricted to staying inside of our room! 😂🤪🙃🤣 If you don’t want to keep your cruising duck you can always re hide it in a public area on the ship. I think they’re supposed to stay out of the stores though. Like you, I’m not on FB, so I’m not sure of all the rules about hiding them. We saw Finis Henderson on Harmony. He wasn’t our favorite entertainer of all the ones we’ve seen, but we definitely did enjoy his show. Would I see him again? Maybe. Depends on how his show would fit into our schedule and how long since the last time we saw him.

We’re sailing on Odyssey in April. I’ll definitely be following along! 🛳😎 Thank you for taking the time out of your cruise to do a live review. 🙏

So many B2B’s and S2S’s I’m losing track of what ship we’re on! Maybe if I were doing a better job of keeping up with my reading I’d know where we were…….😂🙃🤷‍♀️

Deepest condolences 💐 on the loss of your beloved wife Jan. Thank you very much for sharing your story with us.

I think you may need to extend your trip into December, on Freedom of course. Seems to me like Freedom is flirting with you, trying to get your attention! She’s saying that she knows you’ve sailed on all of the other girls and some of them you’ve even sailed twice. Freedom wants to know when it’s her turn! 😂 🥹

You had me gasping and wishing I had a few more choices of reaction emojis when you said you might have to strap yourself to the treadmill in the gym! 😱🤪, maybe even 🤮 would have seemed appropriate! I think I would have been running away from the treadmill under those conditions! This sand sculpture was in what looks to be the same place on Coco Cay when we were there in early December of last year as the one you posted earlier. I’m guessing by the looks of the sand sculpture you saw that it was probably done by the same artist as this one. The design style looks similar to me.

I’m finally caught up after being MIA around here all week. Sounds like you’ve been having a good time overall. 😀 Hope the seas calm down for you so you can get some sleep tonight. Be prepared for another chilly morning - at least by Florida standards! 😱 😂

Thanks for doing this review. I’m looking forward to following along the rest of the way with you. 🛳 Hope Tropical Storm - soon to be hurricane 🌀 Nicole is nice to us here on the home front the next couple of days so our power and internet stay on.

How was the snorkeling on your St Croix tour? Any underwater pictures? 🐠🐡🐟

Enjoying your cruise and pictures! Thank you for sharing with us.

Those cabanas look like they are right on top of each other. I had no plans to book one at the prices they’re charging for just two of us, so I hadn’t noticed how close they were. I don’t know who decided that a “Perfect Day At Coco Cay” meant cramming as many overpriced cabanas and loungers as close together as they possibly could was a perfect day at the beach. It’s definitely not my idea of a perfect day.

Thank you, everyone, for your replies! I think our friends have the HIA package, so it sounds like they won’t be able yo use the machine. I’m going to start looking for DH and myself for a cruise that fits our schedule.

Thanks! It’s great to see this! Just what I was hoping to find. Where exactly on the ship was it?
