Following along. Love your reviews, thanks!!

Thanks for sharing your cruise as our first Disney cruise is next year.

Oh Greg! I love your reviews so much. Many times I have wanted to experience your exact cruise - you did all the planning, we even live in KC! Happy anniversary to both you and Linda, and thank you so much for sharing your adventures.

Now that's tough to answer. I really don't have a favorite of those choices, but would always choose a 6 night over 5.

I think Oasis is still a great ship and love crown loft rooms. I would go for it.

For me it's a big no, the ONLY reason being if I ate that much at lunch I would go in a food coma and be tired the rest of the day. I wish I could eat all the yummy food at lunch and agree it's a good plan, but man I would have no appetite for anything later. Anyone else with the same problem?

I love your reviews! Does the title say August? Thanks for sharing your adventures!

When I search for cruises I make sure I am not logged in. On the web page at the top I go to Find A Cruise. It shows all available cruises, but I choose particular ships or destinations, number of days, etc. When results show, directly under the results is a "clear all" tab. I don't know how to screen shot it to show you, but I'm sure you'll see it.

I believe there is a way. Each time you do a mock booking to get a price, etc., be sure to "clear" the mock booking and then start over with another one. I'm not sure if this will help you, but it has stopped the website, at least, from asking me to finish a booking. I have never received a phone call. I guess they don't think I'm worthy enough, lol.

We were also on the 4 day prior cruise in a balcony. We got a couple of days in the owner's suite and loved it. Sailing on Harmony in a crown loft from Galveston in August. I hate the heat and really wanted to get back to Alaska, but this next cruise will be about the ship, not the ports. It was the only suite I could find this summer for about the same price, and hubby needs a suite!

Thank you Biker19. We were on that cruise. The captain announcement starts at 10:45 on the Twins Video. As I remember the entire ship was very quiet while he was talking, eerily so. I believe we caused the cruise to be cancelled. We surprisingly got a RU for very little money to an Owners Suite. When our usual bad luck kicked in, the ship died and we didn't get to sail in it, lol. We also purchased the insurance through RCCL, which did not cover anything and was not refunded. We did not participate in the grievance letter, but do understand the frustration.

Here's another idea for you. We are also in Costa Maya in August on Harmony. We are renting a golf cart through Red Shirts Golf Carts. We did this years ago and it's a great way to see everything and really fun.

Thank you for taking the time to review. I appreciate it and enjoyed reading about your impressions of the ship and excursions.

We did this a couple weeks ago on Radiance. It was fine, but nothing really special. As soon as it started we went to the kitchens. Made a couple of stops, the person giving the tour was hard to understand and it was crowded. A regular dining room lunch selection. We each got a mimosa when we walked into the dining room, but had to hunt someone down to get a second one. We met some nice people which made the tour enjoyable in that respect. For the $30, it ok - certainly a lot less expensive than decorating cupcakes!

Stopped by guest services to pick up the b2b letter (cabin attendant said to pick it up there) and was told we should be leaving on time tomorrow. I guess she would have to say this regardless, but that's what I was told.

Just saw the cancellation letter. I see it now.

How did you get this? I haven't been offered anything and I'm also on board to Alaska as B2B

I'm on board now and have been offered no compensation. hmmm......

Funny, articulate, great photos! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your adventures!

We are D+ and sometimes buy the drink package depending on the ship. Since we fly to the port, it's harder to bring cokes, water and wine on board. Besides the 5 drinks/day, we drink specialty coffee, fresh juice, lots of water, soda, shakes and I like to sip a silly martini and then order something else. If my diet coke gets watered down, I can order another can with fresh ice. I've calculated the costs, and either break even or come out ahead, depending on the itinerary and ship. Of course the price is always top consideration, each cruise is different.

Great photos, thanks so much for posting!!

I have always requested in advance, it's on my profile also. However, they are never separated. FYI, don't be disappointed, just request again when you get on board.

You have some wonderful pics of the ship. Thanks for sharing.

Checked in early a month ago. From luggage drop off to ship was 10 minutes tops. (around 11ish)

Watching the game in KC with my laptop on my lap following you as you go to the DL, LOL. Thanks so much Greg (and Linda) for this great live cruise!
