Thank you Willdra for taking the time to capture the ENTIRE ship and sharing your experiences and insights with us.  Your reviews are always informative and entertaining. Wishing you many more fun adventures with W by your side.

Do they live locally? Can he get his DL replaced @ DMV tomorrow AM?

My favorites were going into the Independence Space Shuttle and the 747 that carried it, and the Artemis presentation that we attended. That was wonderful, and provided intel on current and future events. Looking at videos and film of the launch after we got home, was so much cooler after hearing and seeing so much detail about it.

Willdra, your reviews are always entertaining and informative, THANK YOU!  My son is an Engineer that worked on quite a few of the rocket engines for Artemis.  We watched the launch from our driveway, it was spectacular and so much more exciting being personally invested. The things that are being worked on and planned for the future are truly mind blowing. Thank you for taking the time to share your adventures with us. 

I had an issue with my Feb 2022 Odyssey cruise.  I messaged Royal on their F@ceb@@k page and got a very quick reply.  They asked for 24 hrs to resolve my issue and it was resolved within 12 hours.  This is just another option to try and get the result that you are looking for.  Good Luck and Happy Cruising!

They looked I am sure during X-Ray... Caring about what was in there is different story.

They did not even look during x-ray as they were engaged in conversation with their heads turned!

We went out of Port Everglades a few weeks ago and no one even looked @ what we brought on. We had 4 500ml containers of wine.  Might depend on the Port. 

YMMV

Went on a short 4 day cruise during Labor Day week. This was the view out my back door tonight. Does anyone else see a cruise ship? Might be time to start planning another cruise. (yn)(yn)(yn)(yn)(yn)

Hello,

I also sent to emails to reserve for our cruise in March never heard back...So I went onto FB site and received a fast response. They just emailed my confirmation in 5 minutes. My advice is contact them through Facebook.

Good luck

Thank you!:D:D

Has anyone had difficulty with getting Trikes-Cozumel to contact them to confirm reservation? I have sent 2 requests and have not heard back from them. We leave in 6 weeks. Should I be concerned? Thanks!

Thank you all for your input. Sailing in September and truly looking forward to it.

Hi! Wondering if anyone has sailed recently on the Victory. Looking for some recent reviews/reports. Checked the review section and the only recent ones are extremely negative. For me, any cruise is a good cruise, but, some are better than others. Looking for input on food, cleanliness, shows...the usual suspects. TIA :cool::cool::cool:

Looking to hear from those recently returned cruisers who "dared" to bring water or soda to the pier with them either upon embarkation or when returning from a port day. Please enlighten us as to what occurred, if anything. Thank you for sharing.

Applied in a small town in central Florida on July 1, received in the mail today, Jul 21. 3 weeks, no expedited service. Hoping to receive our supporting documents tomorrow.

I have been thoroughly enjoying your witty and insightful review, JW. Have been waiting to book Escape for the Aug 20 sailing, today was the day! Great Promos, Pre-Paid gratuities and the prospect of sailing with you clinched it for us. Please keep telling us your fabulous story.

Cruiseguys2009, thank you for any and all information. We are also looking to sail on the August 20, 2016 sailing. Would love to meet up with you both, you are AM-MAY-ZING!!!

Cruizinwithkids-Thank you, I was aware that the Free at Sea promotions are not included in the guarantee categories, we are not big drinkers. Thank you though, very much, for letting me know.

Doing lots of research on this ship, so happy to have seen your video and eagerly awaiting your further posts. Does anyone have any information on the Mini-Suite Guarantee? Is there a bad mini-suite on this ship? Looking to go in August to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for your review. We are leaving on this ship Jan 26. We also received an upsell/upgrade phone call for an extended Grand Suite and we also took it. Counting down the final week is really a little stressful/enjoyable mix. Glad you had a great time, hoping we will have the same fun times to report.

Sooooo we decided to go for it. It will give us an experience that we might otherwise not ever be able to afford. Day 2 is a Key West day from 7:30 - 1:30 and Day 3 is a Cozumel day from 1:30-10:30, so I feel that we will be able to "get our monies worth". Thank you to everyone that gave their opinion, it is truly appreciated.

Thank you for your opinion. I am truly undecided. Looking for everyone's 2 cents :)

We are booked on the Jan 26 sailing on the Ecstasy. We are booked in an outside cabin on the Upper deck. Got a GREAT deal for Florida residents. I just received a call from a Carnival rep offering to upgrade us for $300 total to a Grand Suite with Extended Balcony on the same deck. Has anyone ever received this offer? Do you think it is something to consider? It is a four day cruise, with one sea day. Thank you for your input.
