Thanks for everyone's perspective! Now I am thinking we should do a bottle of Vodka, too! Room service O.J, cranberry juice and even tomato juice would make great drinks to sip on our balcony and I did the math we would even save a little money and even with the poolside and dining room bar charges every day. (As long as we spend less than the Cheer's package cost for 3 adults and enjoy as much as we wish to drink, I think it is a win!

I just think that since we are doing a suite, we should plan on having drinks on the balcony. This will be our first suite (omg we usually do interiors!) But since we are bringing the mother in law we thought a suite could be fun and I don't like the idea of having to walk to a bar to bring a drink back to the room.

Wonderful! Is there a charge for the pitcher size?

Also, I need to correct the spelling of Kahlua! :eek:

I am thinking of ordering a bottle of Kaluha to have in my cabin but how or where can I find half and half to make my Kaluha and cream? We have an ocean suite on the Valor.

There seem to be cruises out of Italy each year on Costa that travel to South America during their 1st couple of weeks. We are thinking of picking up the cruise in South America to arrive in Italy in around 90 days. Then we want to travel slowly through Europe for the next few years using repositioning cruises to sail back to the states a few times while we are there. One repositioning cruise I saw on NCL was only around $500 pp from Barcelona to New Orleans!

We love sailing (we are sailors and own a 36 ft sloop) but also enjoy cruising on large ships. We are planning to retire in a couple of years and want to basically move abroad to Europe. We think starting off with a west bound ship leaving from South America. This would give us a taste of Pacifica, Australia, Asia and Africa before settling down for land based travel in Europe.

Great review and pictures! Was there a White Hot Party? We will be onboard on June 19th! I am putting together my clothes and had read that we should pack a white outfit. :cool:
