Beautiful! Sherri🙂

Welcome home, Cynthia, sounds like you had an amazing trip! Melody, hope these injections take care of Les’s eye problems, poor guy, he had been hit really hard with health issues! Hopefully, they will be behind him soon! Kat, I am going to look for that cookbook, my cooking has become very boring and I feel a need to spice things up!🙂 We drove home from Charlotte on Monday and my husband found a cheap cruise going to Aruba and Curaçao. So we are currently on Adventure😂. I love the beaches in Aruba! OOTD: Swimsuit and flip flops! Sherri🙂

I don’t think that is always the case, there was nothing under the welcome aboard banner regarding limited access for our current Adventure cruise but we did receive an email two days before departure telling us we would not have access. Sherri🙂

We are missing 2blocks. We were already past 140 when they announced these would be given starting at 140 but you not not receive any for past milestones. The second time was our Harmony cruise in September, 2019. Did not receive it on the cruise, called Royal after getting home, was told we would receive it in about 6-8 weeks. Planned to call again after the holidays but family issues and Covid gave me more important stuff to worry about. Called in late September, 2020 and discovered the 12 month rule. I think I was a week over 12 months. They did not budge on it.😂 Sherri🙂

I can’t give you any specifics about it but last July, our grandsons (ages 13, 16 , and 17) plus our son had a great time. I think it was one of the highlights of their cruise. However, we only paid $35 pp. Sherri🙂

It looks like you had an amazing time, Kat, and you look great, too! Sherri🙂

It’s nice to see you are all healing well and I hope this continues! We are leaving early Friday morning to make the long drive up I95 to VA for two of Eli’s soccer games, then heading down to Charlotte on Tuesday for Gavin’s soccer game and Camie’s gymnastic meet. She scored first place in balance beam at the SC state meet in her age group so this is the regional meet which means she will be competing against 89 girls from other states. Can’t miss this! Christy, maybe you’ll see me waving as we drive down to Charlotte area. I always wave at you and also Lois in Jacksonville when we do this trip!😂 Sherri🙂

We had a group of 8 on our Independence cruise last summer, I went straight to Chops as soon as we boarded and made reservations using our two BOGOS. No problem at all. I don’t think you can do this in advance but I could be wrong.😂 Sherri🙂

We just got off last Saturday, most of the shows were 7 and 915 but a few nights it was 8 and 1015. Do you use the app? If so, go to the current sailing and check the times for it. Sherri🙂

I think it has been pointed out several times, Etta, that I left off the plus sign. Sherri🙂

The cover charge on Mariner is currently $14.99, drinks not included. Sherri🙂

Sorry, of course it is D+🙄 Sherri🙂

No, unfortunately they don’t, there is nothing like a vintages on Mariner. But we found a few we liked at the schooner bar and also Chops & Jamie’s. We like red wines and one that we have really enjoyed was only at the schooner bar, Terrazas de los Andes, a Malbec I believe from Chile. Sherri🙂

We are currently on Mariner, sitting in the Solarium at the moment😂. The windows can be opened, so we have a nice cool breeze coming through. Very pleasant. The Solarium bar only shows a few wines on their menu and I would not describe any of them as good, only a few of them are drinkable.😂 The best wines we have found are in the specialty restaurants and at the Schooner bar. Sherri🙂

Yes, Odyssey has a Solarium for adults 18+. Solarium has a bar and there are bars at the outside pool. Sherri🙂
