jmh2006 Posted October 2, 2022 #302 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Sad the review is over (as was the cruise 🤣)! I thoroughly enjoyed and loved it. I also love the Beach Club at Coco and have done the over the water cabanas once. I do have the Beach Club booked for Bella cruise, but would also be interested in going in on the Cabana. Maybe even the cabanas on the beach. 🤷♀️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCat3 Posted October 2, 2022 #303 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Just curious about your Playmaker’s dessert - you call it a Campfire Brownie but the Playmaker’s menu lists a Campfire Cookie. Did they make your dessert with a brownie or a cookie? Thanks for the great review! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they make your dessert with a brownie or a cookie? Thanks for the great review! I called it that because it did not taste like a cookie at all. It was more gooey like a brownie. They may call it a cookie but the consistency and taste was more like a brownie. Either way you call it, it was fantastic.

Hopefully I’ve encouraged people to try something different. It’s easy to get in one’s comfort zone. I know I could be happy just drinking my bourbon on the rocks. I really enjoyed trying some of the cocktails I’ve never had before. Great thing about the DDP, if there’s something you don’t like just ask for something different. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Liberty and have sailed her a couple of times from Galveston, but might be a little disappointed compared to oasis class with larger selections of bars and restaurants, but still a very nice ship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare perfect match Posted October 3, 2022 #312 Share Posted October 3, 2022 @Sea Dog THANK YOU 🙏 for a fabulous review! I’m afraid I’ve been a bit distracted this week, trying to keep up with friends who were far more affected by Ian than our own little corner of Florida has been. Coming here when I’ve been able has truly been the highlight of the past week for me. Your pictures and the stories you shared were just what I needed. 🙏🙏🙏 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even the cabanas on the beach. 🤷♀️ According to the overview info, the cabana limit is 8 people. At the normal price ($1899.00), that would be $237.50 PP. That's a little to rich for my blood. At this point, I'd rather book the Beach Club. If they ever put the cabanas on sale to the area of the Beach Club price, then it would be something that I would consider. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted October 3, 2022 #316 Share Posted October 3, 2022 @Sea Dog Greg I have always eagerly awaiting your reviews. And as always you did an excellent job. I actually took the time to go back and read it again. Do you think on the Bella cruise you could take the time to give an in service on some of your video techniques? Not that I want to steal the show, but need insight.......................I'm Old. Also, you only gained 12 pounds. I am sure they are but a memory by now the way you work out. Take care Looking forward to meeting you in the future. Sue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to get down to the same weight before our next cruise in a couple of weeks. I may be slightly over. And then it's going to tough to keep it down with the holiday season coming up. 47 minutes ago, Stealthdog said: We lost 5 pounds each by the end of the weekend (after gaining about 10 on the cruise). 🤣 I know I lost 5 pounds right away after coming back. I'm sure a lot of was liquid weight from all the cocktails plus something about all the salt in food and in the air helps retain water. I'm happy you guys had such a great time as I. Sorry we did not get a chance to meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first made that post, I was basing my numbers on what I just paid for my October cruise which was $177.00 PP. The price for the Bella cruise at this moment is $224.00 and that's with the so-called 10% pre-cruise saving. If (and that's a big IF) I'm going to spend that kind of money for the Beach Club, then I'll throw out the extra $13.50 for the cabana.

You walk down into it. It was very nice and you did not feel hot. Just laying on a daybed or lounger in the Solarium gets too hot. OMG. It was so hot. We would dip in the pool, but it was so crowded sometimes you could not even move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladies were getting out of hand and twerking and playing private speakers very loudly. Security was call and shut them down! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
