symphony of the seas popping the cruise cherry!!

If you don't want to sit around the airport all day, take a ride down to South Beach. Beautiful beach and water, incredible architecture, neat bars and restaurants, and topless European women (who really shouldn't be ). Buddy, I know I have already said it, but one helluva TR! We appreciate you sharing the entire trip. Just hope Amy didn't mind. Safe flight home!

yeah been there before myself. i have 4 suitcases or deff woulda like to blow some time over there since dont leave til 2pm

tried to change flight at check in but seemed to get shot down. will try another person here past security
exiting the boat this morn was painless tossed the porter 10$ and were curbside in no time. digital recognition for immigration so was through in no time.

curbside was starting to get busy quickly and since a
was like 10 boats in was gonna get crazy so decided to get out of there pretty early.

Amy’s face is priceless in that picture with that mile high tower of onion rings?

Now that you have been bitten by the cruise bug it will be hard to justify your Bahama trips when you start adding up everything you get on a cruise with not too much casino play.

I am definitely going to look into urcomped for a future Royal Caribbean cruise, I don’t believe I can do it with NCL since I always use their Casinos at Sea offers but I have never cruised on RC and after following you along this past week I am definitely interested in Symphony of the Seas, maybe summer 2021 since we have the Encore in May 2020.

Thanks again, this was an awesome cruise TR. Safe travels flying home.

Yeah they can't help you out if you are a recent customer I believe you have to wait a full year before they can do anything for you.


Now that I have sailed Royal Caribbean it will be like you are comped is my travel agent so to say and they will obviously try to do their best to get me on the ship with specials vs getting direct offers from royal Caribbean.

some people dont like having the middle person but they have done me good in the past and if they get a comission like a travel agent doesnt bother me.

When we went they did not have the Drink Packages and we had less money so was always on a drink count not to get too huge a bill at the end....That's why we switched to all inclusive land based. Now that the ships are nicer and they have the drink packs it may be worth it. When we go to Punta Canna I will gamble and get nothing for it at least on the ship I could get a discount on my trip.

yeah and if play in casino will for sure get more offers for free cruise in future
drinks package deff is worth it if over 4-5 drinks a day
if you do ur comp can get free drinks in casino only regardless
