i will take it!!
Down another pound and a half today also I think I might have a problem with ocd...
obsessive cruise disorder. just inquired about a cruise in mid jan when amy has some time off!
will see what they come back with wont be full comp for balcony. but sure seems like good value for a week long vacay and hit up 3-4 new destinations!
I am going to start cruising more too as I can gamble on the ship but do so much more! I think I have OCD too as I have 3 scheduled and looking for more. What ship are you looking at for January? Hope you guys can go!
looking at the brand new refurbish oasis of the seas was gonna do do a 4 day but if i am gonna pay $1000 for airfare gonna make it worth it and do a few extra days for total of 7.Quote:

with cruising i can see new places each trip like you said gamble each night see new shows each trip.
might try other lines once we get further out trips planned
would like to try newer celebrity or ncl cruises as well. maybe even msc too.
probably wouldnt be able to do more then 2-3 a year early winter and late fall. hell i told amy lets just go on cruises over longer holiday weekends if it works.
deffinately want to do an alaskan cruise on my free "prime" cruise i earned from hitting 2500pts. think of prime cruise as a free trip like hitting diamond with cet
which other ones you have booked ???
I heard the Oasis is getting a great refurbishment I went on her when she first sailed and loved it and now its got more cool stuff. I'm leaving Friday for a 7 day on the MSC Seaside that Chris just went on. I snagged a Yacht Club suite when they had a no single supplement error last year! I've never done a ship within a ship experience before but this was a steal as it includes premium drinks the thermal spa and private pool sundeck lounge and dining...I've also got NCL Breakaway in Feb and a 10 day Crown Princess cruise in March! NCL & Princess were both free inside from land based casinos and I paid to upgrade to balcony...I agree with you on the points you made above
Cece, we loved the Celebrity Equinox! I did a TR here on it. Just note they have different drink packages and you definitely want the premium one that includes the fancy coffee bar (upgrade wasn’t much) They have alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks and they are amazing! We had our morning coffees there and usually a pick me up cocktail, sometimes even a tea nightcap. I know you like pretty fancy coffee so I think you’d like it. Feel free to pm me any questions about it if you want!Quote:

@Cyndyga, have an amazing trip! We’re looking at Yacht club for our free MSC cruise from Mohegan since upgrade to that is small. Can’t wait to hear about your experience, hope you share your thoughts on their ship in a ship experience. We’re looking specifically at seaside also.

@dvandentop and Amy, SOoo happy you loved cruising (also, Adam says “I told you so!”) ;) hhh!
This report was epic! Thank you for taking the time to update us on everything and the fun you two shared was evident in the posts! These huge ships really are a city in the ocean and that’s what we love about it, so much to do and see and we love exploring different islands too!
Also had to laugh at your exploring airport terminals for hours, that’s what we did in Puerto Rico when we had an afternoon flight home after our cruise, lol. At least there were huge duty free stores to “shop” in there, lol.

Damn that sounds amazing and looking forward to it hopefully you can share some pictures of the ship and your experience.Quote:

The only thing I am sad about it that we didn't Cruise the many years ago we have been talking about it been missing out on so many good vacations I feel like now!Quote:

The one we are looking at includes a stop at Royal Caribbean's place in Haiti and then stop in Jamaica and then Cozumel.
I checked out some excursions at each place and they all look like they have something fun to do
181 today slowly but surely
Labadee, Haiti was amazing.Royal Caribbean and Celebrity both dock jn the same area (both owned by same parent company) and we loved the beach and water there on our Celebrity Cruise.
And look into doing the cooking class/beach day in Cozumel! It was beyond fun!

Royal is pretty reasonable to upgrade to balcony on my 5 day to Bermuda it was only a little more than 100... probably depends on date and itinerary but generally they are the cheapest I have found
good to hear!Quote:

Finally got to see some man skin. Thanks, Amy! HHH. But I have to say that the pic of you at dinner has got to be the best pic of you ever.

Will do! I'm on a bunch of fb groups and everyone raves about it and says its the way to go... if you can upgrade for a reasonable price it would probably be a steal! I haven't gone yet but have already booked another with a travel agent and her group cruise!Quote:

@dvandentop, did you see this? It was on one of MSN's highlight pages today. I didn't read the article, but wondered if it was from your cruise. :)
