@Radio Thank you, again, for posting the dailies. I noticed that the shows Elements and the Aerialists (Mr. and Mrs. Fefelov) have not shown up in the dailies yet. Do you know if Elements is still happening this week?

I had the dessert wrong with my guess.

Agree with @PATRLR, for us, it was worth it. When I first booked this excursion, I did not tell my husband as I knew he would say that I was crazy. I finally told him the day before when he was in vacation mode. He agreed, it was worth it. The day we went, it was too icy (or foggy, I do not remember) for the Jewel to get anywhere near the glacier and we were able to get up close. Those behind on the Jewel did not get to see it.

We were in 16023 last year and had no noise issues. The location was perfect for us.

We (extended family) are very excited as this trip has been booked since February 2022 when my husband and I were on the Joy the first time. However, it will be a tad more crowded this time around!

Am I correct that they still are not taking reservations for the comedy shows?

We had them on the Encore this past February and I struggled getting the hang of opening them without the contents going all over the place.

Looking forward to reading another review. Thank you for taking the time to post about your cruise.

Thank you!

We also would rather have the cookies than chocolate covered strawberries which always go to waste when it is just my husband and I.

I saw that also and thought it was unusual.

Agree. We have had our passes since July 2022 when they started preselling! Just hoping they open up the cabana passes in the next few weeks. We had a cabana for the first time this past February on the Encore and really liked having it. Already reserved one for our February 2025 Viva cruise.

It Is it fcfs everyday or just the first day upon boarding? I have read conflicting information on this. And truefully, I would have no issue with a Vibe staff contribution since I am willing to pay the additional money to trade up our passes for the six of us.

I know! Been wanting to throw them extra money for months to reserve three of them and have also been told they will be available soon but running out of time.

Thank you very much for posting this link. Still trying to figure out how to obtain a cabana. Anyone have any experience?

I have been trying also for information on the Vibe cabanas to no avail. We want to trade our vibe passes in for a cabana. If my cruise is before yours, I will report back.

I will definitely be following along as we will be on the June 2, 2024 sailing. Bermuda is also one of our favorite ports and we are looking forward to experiencing it with extended family this time around. If you can, can you please post the dailies. Have a wonderful time!

Great thread.......anyone else have any input?

As always, looking forward to reading about your next adventure with your dad. Wishing you both a happy birthday and a wonderful time. And I love the wrapping paper! My dad turned 88 last month. He was supposed to go with us on our extended family cruise this June to Bermuda but pulled out at final payment much to the disappointment of his grandchildren.

Hmmm.....we are in club balcony suites in June 2025, but I think I will look into these new cabins. Thank you for reporting on your switch!

Add us to the early bird list! Even if we are not in the Haven, we get to the port super early and like to be onboard as soon as possible. This allows us to take care of updated reservations, book the Platinum events, book the entertainment that is available and then have a nice lunch. This then allows us to spend the rest of the full afternoon in the Vibe as a great start to our vacation. Sitting in the waiting room for an hour or two or three does not bother us as we all have books and tablets. For us, it is part of the excitement.

Thank you very much. We have never eaten at Ocean Blue before, but the young adults in our family want to give it a try. The men and young adult men would rather not bring or wear pants.

Thank you but we will be docked in Bermuda. We agree, it is on the chilly side while the ship is moving but do enjoy eating outside while docked.

I know that pants are required for men at Ocean Blue, but are they required if you are sitting outside?

@luckybeckyThank you very much for taking the time to post this report on what sounds like an amazing adventure. I appreciate your how you are writing up your daily summary with a nice amount of added pictures. I will definitely go back and read your other trip reports.
