perfect match

I’ve seen brunch mentioned in several “live” reports that I’ve read recently. We’re on Harmony next week. I’ve checked multiple times on the app and have not seen it listed 😞. I really hope brunch will be offered on our sailing. I would love ❤️ it! Update: 😀 I just checked this week’s sailing in the app and brunch is listed on two days! Their itinerary is different than ours, so at least I know brunch is being offered on the ship! I’m a happy cruiser right now!

When ordering room service, I have written in items like ketchup, mustard, mayo or other condiments that I wanted but weren’t on the menu and have always gotten what I asked for. It’s worth a try. I’ve never asked for off menu items, just things like condiments that I thought would be readily available.. I’ve also been known to pick up things like packets of ketchup when I’ve seen then on the buffet and known I’d be needing them.

I just checked out your Harmony and Disney pictures. Thank you for sharing them. We board Harmony on Sunday! Needless to say, we can’t wait.

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss of your beautiful cat, Jiko. Our pets are definitely family members, and it is hard on the rest of the family when it is time for them to go. We lost our 18 year old boy Huntly in July two years plus one week to the day after losing his twin sister Carly. They were inseparable, but at least they’re back together now in cat heaven. We adopted a rescue boy, Oreo, after Carly passed. He looks very much like your Jiko. We are very glad to have him as part of our family, and have recently added another little tuxedo, Lorna, who was being bullied in her former home.

I have the soda plus internet for our Harmony cruise next week bought Black Friday of last year. I is still showing as available for purchase now, but at a much higher price than I paid for it. We have a cruise on Odyssey booked for April of next year. I have not yet seen a soda plus internet package available for purchase on that cruise. I have seen Deluxe Beverage plus internet available. 🤷‍♀️ As a side note, the only excursions listed for that cruise are at Coco Cay. I haven’t seen a single excursion listed for any of our other ports.

$3799 for a couple of hours in a cabana? Yikes! 😱 I don’t think so! That’s worse than the out of control pricing at Disney lately!

If they have Chocolate Turtle ice cream on Harmony when we sail I’m definitely having some! How could I not? It’s named after two of my favorite things in the whole world! 🤩 Brunch sounds perfect for me! I’m going to head on over to the app and see if it’s listed. If it doesn’t show up on our sailing I’ll check the current one. I’m excited about brunch!

I’d love to cruise with you and find one of your cute ducks! Did you have the Chocolate Turtle 🐢 ice cream? Sorry, I couldn’t help myself! I had to ask. 😂 How late did brunch run? I am most definitely NOT a morning person! I would love to do my normal sleep in and still be able to enjoy breakfast food. 😋. Hope they have brunch on Harmony 🤞🏻

@niksmom630, thank you very much for a great review. I’ll be looking for you on Allure in December! @Sea Dog, we’ll be getting off of Harmony on September 18 and I can guarantee you that I’ll be looking for a cure for my post cruise depression 😢. I’m sure your review will be just what I need, so I’ll definitely be there!

Thank you for doing this review and for all of your beautiful pictures! I will be following along for the rest of your voyage.

We had a cruise booked well in advance of sailing date a couple of years ago. That cruise went from very few cabins in any category being sold to, within just a few days, only a very few cabins in any category being available. A few weeks after that I got an email stating that the ship had been taken over for a private group charter. It is possible that’s what is happening on the cruise you’re looking at.

Oops! My bad! I meant to say 30 days! Obviously I wasn’t functioning on all cylinders when I typed that. 🙃

@niksmom630, do you happen to remember if the suite line for MTD was just for GS and up, or is there any chance JS was included as well! I’m expecting to hear GS and up only. It isn’t going to matter to us since we’ve already moved to traditional late on our next cruise. I haven’t changed the dining on our April cruise yet, so it could be a factor there.

Our luggage tags for our 9/11 Harmony cruise were ready right at 90 days. Printed them out, stuffed them in their plastic holders, and they’re ready to go. I just went back and checked to make sure they’re still available and they are still there both in our cruise docs page 19 and with the set sail pass. Hope everyone who doesn’t have their now gets them soon. Printing out my luggage tags and stuffing them into their little plastic holders is one of my favorite precruise tasks to do! 😃

Thank you for confirming my decision to switch from MTD to Traditional Late. That is our usual preference, but we chose MTD during our first two cruises following the restart of cruising because the scheduling of Late dining conflicted almost with a lot of the evening activities we wanted to enjoy. That shouldn’t be a problem on our upcoming Harmony cruise. It’s on my bucket list too! The pool would need to be at full depth for it to qualify for the bucket list requirement though. No raising the bottom for me - although they might have to raise it to make me get out of the pool! 🤣

Great start! I’m happily following along and can’t wait to see all of the places you’ll be taking us.

Definitely enjoying your thread, especially the pictures! Glad you were able to enjoy your day at the beautiful resort in spite of the transportation issues. Good for you for keeping your attitude positive and making the most of your day.

Thank you for another great review, @CatLadyFemme! I very much enjoyed cruising to Alaska (virtually) along with you and MxCatLady. I have been wanting to try Wonderland, but have my own set of food allergies so I wasn’t sure how well they could work with me. Based on your experience, I may decide to give it a try. 😎

No big ugly purple slide blocking the aft view from the ship on Allure!

Thanks @niksmom630 for doing this live review! I’m enjoying following along with you. We’re on Harmony in a couple of weeks, so this will be a good warm up! 🛳

Thank you for a great review, @mac_tlc! I’ve enjoyed cruising along with you. Three weeks from tonight our bags will be packed and we’ll be ready to board Harmony in the morning! I can’t wait! We really appreciate all the info you’ve provided including the parking garage and show information, and the awesome pictures. Thank you for taking the time out of your family vacation to date your trip with us.

Thank you for an awesome review, @RCCL Fan! I enjoyed every minute of it. Special thanks for all the information about our cabin on our Odyssey cruise in April. I know we’re going to love that cabin! Thank you also for all of your wonderful pictures!

Love your cabin! 🤩 Great layout. Really love 💗 your unicorn ducks! If I found one I’d keep it. 😁 Even better that you’ve been able not only to get foods that meet your dietary needs, but that taste really good as well! 😋

We got our first invitation to submit a Royal Up bid 90 days out from our September Harmony cruise. I was surprised to see it so early.

There’s no way I’m giving up that room! 😱 Thank you for all of your input. We’re really looking forward to our aft view. 😎 We got hooked on aft view cabins on our first cruise. We booked an aft cabin because we couldn’t decide between port and starboard. We liked it so much that the only times we haven’t been booked in an aft view cabin we’re one of our Princess cruises and our Oasis class cruises unless you count our one time at the aft end of the Boardwalk. We’ll be on Odyssey in mid April. I can’t wait to see if we will still prefer Oasis class ships, or if Odyssey will win us over.
