Happy, Happy Birthday Charla!!!  You celebrate your "0" birthday all year!!!  The "0" birthdays are even way more special!  I know I am celebrating my "0" birthday this whole year!  Life goes by so fast!  I told my family, friends, and neighbors same thing but mine was the big 60 last month!  Live it up!  Love your style, your reviews, love that you love to cruise like the rest of us!  Hopefully Bill and I will be on a cruise with you and Jereme and of course Gen Z someday.  You really helped us get excited for our first Celebrity cruise on July 10th on the Equinox in the retreat!  It was spectacular!  We are going on the Equinox again on August 13th in the Aqua balcony to try the Blue restaurant and persian garden!  By chance are you on the April 16th 2023 Beyond?  Hope you book it!  Would love to meet you and your family!  Enjoy this super special cruise!!!

The only time we book onboard with Next Cruise is if a release we want to book is imminent, and we get the coupon so it can be booked when it comes out.  The shipboard credit is nice, but you have to be accurate in the timing of a new release.  It’s rare we book onboard, because we book when new releases come out and if that isn’t the best price, we price-adjust. 

I totally think it varies on the deals that are out there on the Royal site at the time of your sailing.  I just thought in May I haven't cruised in 3 years let me check to see what's happening.  99% of the time we don't book onboard but were on Symphony in Mid May and booked an 8 night Odyssey in February in Junior Suite for $200 deposit and received $650 of onboard credit.  That was a win so we booked that.  It might be worth it to check to see what the offers are on a sailing to not possibly miss something.

Hi Michelle and Bill,

 

Great to hear from you! Glad you had a nice time on Allure. We almost booked that week but I had a business trip the week before which would have made it stressful so we booked two weeks later. Now instead the hurricanes are making it stressful. :eek:

 

We are also on a Halloween cruise that leaves on Oct. 28th but it is the Symphony TA!

 

Enjoy your travels. I am sure we will run into each other again.

 

PS - Sorry to hijack the thread for personal communication...

Have a super great time on the Symphony transatlantic on Halloween! We will be on the Oasis! Please consider the Anthem on May 23rd if you haven't been to Bermuda in awhile! Hint Hint!

P.S. Your fun family can also join us Megan on the Anthem on May 23rd too!:D

Bon Voyage Almost!

Michelle

Wheeeee, thanks so much for following along! Feel free to exit the train to your left. :p

Hi Meg!

I'm so happy you and your husband loved your JS Hump Balcony room! I wish we had met! That is a real bummer for sure. We stayed in a JS on Harmony but not a hump! I'm so happy for you both! Did you guys get a chance to eat in Coastal Kitchen? We weren't in love with the first comedian either but like you said the second guy was hilarious! We really loved Mama Mia also! I'm so glad our good friend Nancy let met know part way through the cruise that you were live blogging! That was so great you had so many family members on board!

We are going on the Halloween sailing on Oasis on October 28th staying in a JS not an Aqua Theater suite! Ha! I've always wanted to cruise over Halloween and I've heard they put on quite the parties!

Maybe you guys could join?

Hopefully our paths will meet on another cruise very soon!

Michelle and Bill

Enjoying your review. We will be boarding in less than 2 weeks with the same itinerary so following closely!

 

If you booked the Radiance for 8/30/19 (as your signature says) then you will be sailing with our good friends Bill and Christy. Bill is the master private excursion organizer - best I have ever met. If you are sailing with him and he offers private excursions that interest you, jump at them. They are amazing, inexpensive and Bill is super organized. They will fill up quickly.

Hi Lee And Petra!

I'm getting caught up on this live blog my good friend Nancy told me about while we were on the Allure! So sorry we missed you and Petra by 2 weeks! Our weather was perfect after we got on board! We never got a chance to meet Meg. We had 28 people on our Aqua theater suite for sailaway! I'm so sorry we missed them! Wish all you guys and Meg were up there too! The deck is certainly ginormous! Still can't believe the price over a holiday week! Too good to be true for sure! Loved Barefoot Beach Club, Suite Lounge, Coastal Kitchen and reserved seating at shows on my all time favorite ship! This was our 3rd time with the third cast of Mama Mia and had a new phenomenal experience all over again! You guys will love it!

We booked another Anthem cruise for May 23rd for 9 days in case the huge rumor is true about the Anthem repositioning to Southhampton in the nearer future. Wanted to go to Bermuda again on a larger ship and definitely wanted to see Will Will Rock You Again Also!

I know you will enjoy the Allure! Bill really loved all the doughnuts on Boardwalk! He brought me back the key lime one! It was too die for!

A big Hello!

Michelle and Bill

Hello my name is Michelle and Nancy told me your whole family was on this sailing. I scanned your live blog and im so sorry we havent met!

We didnt feel a thing! We loved all our stops! Plus this was our third time on Allure w a new cast each time for Mama mia and it was another new wonderful experience!
