DH likes craps and Mom likes this little machine where you put tokens in until they mound up and fall into a bin, ...

I love this game! Family and friends don't get my interest in it, but I could sit there all day. Loving your review - thanks for taking the time to post.

Just curious, if you don't book a cruise for the itinerary, then what do y'all book for?

We book based on available dates, price, ship, itinerary, pretty much in that order. If I don't care for the port I am more than happy to stay on the ship.

If you haven't left yet - bon voyage! We loved our time on the Allure, as I'm sure you will too.

We'll have our first aft balcony on RC later this year, but have had them on another line twice. The soothing sounds of the wake and the unobstructed views, especially in and out of ports, are wonderful. We usually do sail away from our own uncrowded balcony. [emoji3]

260 days until our New Year's Eve cruise!

Thanks for backing me up that $800 in drinks is NOT hard to do on a cruise ship! :D

 

Fireball is a cinnamon whiskey, like another poster said, it'd pretty strong, but so smooth and easy to drink. It's nothing like goldschlager or other cinnamon liquers, I had tried those and just thought I hated cinnamon, but I was wrong until I tried this. Now, I'm definitely more a beer girl, besides margaritas and pina coladas I rarely do liquor and even less do I drink liquor straight, but Fireball is an entirely different story. Ive only ever had it straight, although I'm sure in the right drink it would be divine. You must try it! :) I hope the ship has it!

This past weekend I had, for the first time, an "Angry Balls": An Angry Orchard Apple Hard Cider with a shot of Fireball whiskey. Delicious! I highly recommend it! :D

Thank you Gambee for a wonderful review! Our friends and her parents were on this same voyage with you, and I kept wondering if possibly they might pop up during your review. Voila! Here they are (she is hidden by her father in the middle). So cool!

So funny and so TRUE! Wonderful review - can't wait for more!

Hello Mike and Family :)

I found your thread during the posting of the first leg of your journey and have faithfully tuned in almost every day, as have a gazillion of your other fans! Can't say anything you haven't heard already: thank you for sharing your trip and memories and family with us. And as someone else mentioned I think it's AMAZING how you have taken the time and effort to respond to EVERY reply.

Happy future travels and best wishes to you and your lovely family.

P.S. Can't wait til your next review! :D
