jmh2006 Posted February 22 #115901 Share Posted February 22 @Luckynana That is the million dollar question! I am probably brining 2 suitcases and a tote bag! Just hope I can handle it all 😆. @Sea Dog I wish we could join you but we have a Thanksgiving cruise this year so that is too close together and Dave is still working! We will have to wait till Bella 2 and 2.5 to be with you again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Reflection carries more passengers and sometimes it affects the MDR experience. On Equinox we seldom had to wait for a table and if we did it was just 5-10 minutes. On Reflection, anytime we’ve gone from 5:50 to 6:30 we are always quoted 30-35 minutes wait and given a pager. And told it only works at the Martini Bar or Cellar Masters. The problem there is the Martini Bar is always mobbed at that time and Cellar Masters is a tomb and very hard to get a drink. On Equinox Cellar Masters has been converted to Craft Social and it’s much easier to get a drink. That conundrum is balanced by the Reflection’s improved Sunset Bar…however that is counter balanced by the reduction of half of the Sky Lounge… I never have had a bad cruise so I’d sail any S Class ship. (As Abraham Lincoln said “Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”) If the itinerary and price were exactly the same at the time I want to cruise I’d select Equinox. And Equinox is going to be sailing out of Port Canaveral next year!! Closer to us!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oasis of the Seas 8 night out of Fort Lauderdale going to Aruba, Curacao and Perfect Day. Four sea days in all. Come join us!!!!!!! Very tempting. We are booked on Enchantment out of Tampa for the ABC islands in April of 2025- but my son has let us know that he’s probably being deployed from Christmas of 2024 to the summer. We are the alternate parents for his German Shepherd. Thor is a very nice dog, but we will probably move the cruise, because getting an alternate sitter for 2 weeks for a 100 lb German Shepherd is likely not going to happen. Oh well. It will give me time to work on his instinct to chase squirrels and jackrabbits. He is pretty good about that, but not perfect! By the way, that cruise is now insanely expensive. If it wasn’t for the destination, I wouldn’t have. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Reflection will be new to us and we have a couple booked on her. I am very happy about the Equinox coming to PC even if its for a bit. PC is around one hour 15 mts away from us and "our home port". I wish they had some more interesting itineraries on the Equinox from PC and I hope they bring her back or homeport her here. We will be on the Equinox March 4 and I am always thrilled as if it were my first time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most we ever pause for a 7 nighter out of SJ was $2500. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is getting along well with the other cats and starting to play with the younger ones. She is eating well, has been fixed and sleeps on my pillow every night. Right now she and Reba are running through the house playing tag. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its looking good Charlie & Lizzie must give you hours of entertainment with their tussling and other shenanigans. Your cruise is tempting. That date works for me and I’ve always wanted to cruise on an Oasis ship as they don’t cruise down here and it would lovely to finally meet you. Just depends on DDs availability. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see them doing a concert in a pouring down rain storm. Good news is Travis has already landed and they went to the zoo today. We had a nasty storm come through on Monday. Four people were sheltering under a tree in the Botanical Gardens next to the Sydney Opera House and were taken to hospital after a lightning bolt hit the tree. Paramedic said they were lucky to survive. Same day, my brother & his wife were on a bushwalk and a long way from their car when the storm came through. The experience really shook them up All they could only think about was their son (an only child) would be left an orphan if they got hit by lightning. Thankfully they eventually made it to their car safely. Yep, TS & KC visited Sydney Zoo. Newest addition to the zoos in Sydney located in the Western Suburbs. A zoo that I’ve never visited and unlikely to but I suspect a good choice as much quieter than the well known zoos here. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
