Glad that so many people have enjoyed my review! I hear about everyone's upcoming sailings on the Summit and then I get jealous!! :p

 

I know I commented in one of my earliest posts how I am perhaps not the best "critic" as I maybe am not picky enough. I look past a little dust, a somewhat aging ship and food or entertainment that isn't to my liking 100% of the time. Maybe some look for that "true critique" and use that to help them form an opinion of a cruise ship or a cruise line. I, on the other hand, look at the overall experience. I include everything to do with the cruise itself with a big part of that being the staff/service, which in my opinion was FANTASTIC!! I also look at things like the itinerary and embarkation point. As I've said, the cruise is not the destination for me so the ports of call and the pre-cruise are very important in my overall cruise experience.

 

In light of recent events on another cruise line, I feel even better about NOT sweating the small stuff. I've had nothing but awesome cruises so far and hope to have many more!

I love your attitude and I am the same way most of the time. I am just happy to be on vacation and enjoy every minute that I can. I am having a hard time waiting for November

I found the new Best Western that isn't even open yet seems to have pretty good pricing right now.. I have that booked as a backup plan incase I can't get a good deal on Priceline.

That's where I am booked for November. I needed a room with 2 queen beds as I am traveling with DH and my adult DD. I was having a hard time finding a room with 2 queen beds at a decent price. I think I paid around $130 plus tax, ect....

One last thing, but I don't know how to avoide -my hubby had new jeans to wear on the plane. I had taken them up for him, but I had measured them while he was wearing boats, he was wearing different shoes and the plane, and the pants were too long and he was stepping on them. So while we waited for our friends to arrive to take us to the airport hubby was sitting in his undies while I was taking his jeans up. Our friends arrived and though the look was priceless!!!!

and did you catch it with the camera? :D

DH, DD, and I are booked to cruise November 2nd out of Puerto Rico. I am wanting to lose 20. I don't care if I am ever "skinny", just want my clothes to fit well. I fiind I am usually active enough on vacation that I don't gain weight. I don't eat till I am stuffed but I do eat pretty much whatever I want.

Great review and great pics. We are taking this cruise in November so I appreciate all the info.
