Rare Lionesss Posted April 17 Author #8 Share Posted April 17 Good morning. Yup. 3:45am. Mind racing. Trying to remember everything I need to put in suitcases. Suitcases. Remember my pretty purple luggage. Well after our Quantum cruise last August flying home was an experience. Seattle to Denver circled and circled and circled over many a western state due to all the storms. Arrived in Denver very delayed. The reason we did not miss our connector was our plane turned into connector to Cleveland. Although I was anxious from non stop turbulence. I survived without getting sick. However our pretty purple luggage was trashed, damage, broken some where somehow on the journey. So, as we started planning for this vacation we did purchase new pretty purple luggage. ( pictures to follow). If I wake up the spouse now let’s just say not going there. He has to work today. Where am I going with this?????? I plan on sharing how much this “free” cruise in a grand suite costs. Now, a few expenses will not be include. That being they were gifts. Or I’m not going to share. Stay tuned. But wait till you see my pretty purple luggage. Be safe. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted April 17 Author #10 Share Posted April 17 So after our June cruise on Allure out of Galveston the time spent in casino I found this little piece of paper in our cabin. So after much consideration and thought provoking discussion ( haha) we saw Symphony- April. Looked up itinerary. No brainer. Booked onBoard. Now some maybe doubtful of my investment so far. But in reality our final receipt says it all. As you see we paid $78. Vacation protection plan $296 Gratuities $229.92 Taxes. Which so far totals $603.92 for our “free” cruise Now being Diamond plus gets us 10 free thirst quencher’s daily. ( yup another lol) we rarely drink. And I am signature in casino. So we do not buy alcohol package. We do not do extra specialty dinning we enjoy Coastal Kitchen — except that one night when they have that goofy menu so I eat off kids menu. We paid for one excursion, I have to look up that price. Turtles in Curacao We were reimbursed for the zip line in Labadee. ( yup me zip lining) would have been third time. Ok. That’s all for now. Off to buy feeder fish for our pet turtles Slo-poke and Peeve. Peeve was our daughters turtle and when we asked her why did you name it Peeve. Her response was priceless. “Everyone has to have a pet peeve” Be safe Batten down the hatches Storms a coming. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted April 17 Author #13 Share Posted April 17 The following showed up on social media. I do not own rights —- just copied as it was shared there. But how coincidental. But I’ll settle for an 8 day cruise. 😁 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
