perfect match

Mermaid 🧜‍♀️ beach looks like my kind of place! Nice trees 🌴 for shade. Loungers nicely spaced. Nice sandy beach. I want to go there. If I do I may never leave! 😎 Love the mooring line shots!

I completely agree with you on this one. We don’t spend a whole lot of time in our room either but sometimes we need a little time away from all of the activity going on out on the rest of the ship and a little mindless staring at the tv without watching all of the activities on the ship that we’re taking a break from. I have an Amazon Firestick that I’m planning to bring on our next cruise. I just hope that 1) I can figure out how to hook it up (I was successful on our recent land trip so that’s a good sign) and 2) that I can teach DH how to use it! That will be the real challenge! Once again, thank you very much for a great, fun review! I’ll be looking for you on Harmony in December.

@DELTABLUE, that soup looks good! 😋

I’m sorry to hear about your husband’s fall and resulting injury. Hope you can get home safely and that he recovers quickly.

Thank you! That would be awesome!

I love these relaxation videos! Is it possible that an aft view relaxation video might appear at some point? The posts of the group from the Bella cruise really make me long for the days when there were active roll calls on CC where I got to know people before we set sail and planned get togethers when we were on the ship. Either that, or wish we could have managed to go on that Bella sailing, but the timing for that just couldn't be worked out. :sigh:

Would someone please post a working link to Bernard’s website? I’m seeing on this forum that people are still touring with him, but I can’t seem to access his site through any web address I’ve used previously. 🤷‍♀️ Thanks!

Glad to be on board with all of you, even if it is only virtually. That naked body parts masquerading as artwork was kind of creepy weird! I know they were probably going with the Adventure theme, but let’s just say that it’s not my taste in art. Hope the MDR gets better.

I think Margaritaville is going to get an earful in your review! They do need to know about the overcharges on your bill though. AFAIK they’re an honest company and would not want their customers treated like you were. our Nassau hours are 7AM 😱 to either 2 or 3 PM, I don’t remember exactly. DH always wants to be back on board 2 hours early and I probably won’t want to leave the ship before 11 or so. It would be too rushed for me. Besides, we will be at Coco Cay the day before so DH will get his fill of beach there. He’s not a beach bum like me. We do plan to go ashore and wander around the new port area a bit and see what they’ve done. It was still very much under construction the last time we were there. Thank you very much for your live review. I’ve enjoyed following along with you. Hope you have a safe trip home.

Our Water Taxi day was October 3, so just under three weeks earlier than you. All those docks moored together near the Bahia Mar in my pictures sure look a lot different now in your pictures! 😂

Greg, thank you for the Mai Kai memories. I had really hoped that they would be open in time for us, but that was not meant to be. I’m glad to see that they’re finally making progress on their rebuilding. Maybe on our next trip.

No Diamond discounts for anything at Coco Cay on our Allure cruise in April. Still 6 months out so I’m not surprised. We’ll have a wonderful day doing the free stuff. 🏖️

Thank you very much for all the information about your Resort Pass day at Margaritaville. I was seriously thinking about booking there when we stop in Nassau in April. Unfortunately, we have an early, short day in port and I am most definitely not a morning person, so I’m going to pass on this trip and hope that our next Nassau stop has port hours that will work for me. I wonder how many times that guy (the bartender?) has overcharged people like he tried to do to you. I’m glad you caught the overcharge and were able to get it corrected. Thanks for the warning.

Water taxi was it’s usual fun ride when we were in Ft Lauderdale. We boarded at Galleria Mall/Doubletree stop 7. Rode to Bahia Mar, asked when the next taxi going south would arrive, disembarked, walked across the street, and took a 2 mile walk along Ft Lauderdale beach. My two fully replaced knees can go that far now! 😀 You don’t have to walk that far though. Boarded the next taxi and rode to 15th St Fisheries. Watched the very well fed tarpon, had dinner, and the next taxi arrived just as we were ready to board. The Water Taxi does have a tracking feature to let you know where the taxis currently running are, but it wasn’t working at all. After dinner we headed north to the last taxi stop, then back to Galleria for the drive back to our resort. I hope your day is as enjoyable as ours was! we saw a lot of the temporary docks floating near Bahia Mar, ready to be set up for the boat show. They have most likely been set up by now and some may already be occupied by the boats brought in for the show. I hope you and Linda have a wonderful anniversary dinner at the Boathouse restaurant! Happy anniversary to both of you! 🥂🍾

I missed being here yesterday due to some good family travel being planned. Eight pages of the Soggy Sea Dog later…… I had a lot of catching up to do here! I’m not going to let that happen again! I’m glad to be joining @Sea Dog and friends on this cruise. Seems like it’s going to be a lot of fun. 😄

I loved your pictures from Horseshoe Beach! Sure looks like my kind of beach! I really need to stop saying that I want to book a cruise that goes to Bermuda and just do it! My quiet place on any ship we’re on is usually my balcony. I always hope that my neighbors are those people who book balcony rooms but never use them.

I’ll be ready to enjoy those pictures that you will be sharing when you return from your Odyssey cruise! 😀 Hopefully, I will be done reading your old Allure review by then. I’m reading it a little bit at a time and getting more excited about being back on Allure with every page I read. I know our upcoming time on Allure will be very different from the previous sailing. That one was shortly after the restart with only 2200 pax on board and everyone really excited just to be back on a ship again. We felt like we were on our own private super mega yacht! We’ll never see those days again!

Congratulations on your 7 year anniversary! 🥂🍾 Your 5 o’clock somewhere sunset picture is beautiful!

I’m another one who really wants to get to Bermuda, so I’ll be following along with you. I’m glad to hear that your flight and shuttle service went well and that your hotel lived up to expectations. Sorry our Florida sun ☀️ wasn’t shining brightly for you. Hope Bermuda does better!

@harryfat1, I’m back from our land vacation and have just now finished up reading this review. I’ve really enjoyed cruising virtually along with you on the Navigator and am looking forward to following along with you on Odyssey as well. I loved Odyssey and love the ABC islands! I’ll be looking for @Sea Dog in about a week. Looking forward to that review to get me through my post vacation slump.

We were in the Ft Lauderdale area, so plenty of water, plenty of time on much smaller boats (not exactly mega ships like Wonder), plenty of good food to eat, plenty of good entertainment to be enjoyed, pools big enough to actually swim in, and beautiful beaches. Somehow we managed to enjoy ourselves! 😂😂 Our next two vacations will be on mega cruise ships, Allure in April and Wonder in September. 🛳️🛳️ Can’t wait! 😆

They must be! I must remember ear plugs on our next cruise! Thank you very much for an awesome trip report. I really enjoyed following along with you. Even though I ended up a more than just a little bit behind, I’m all caught up now. I’ll be sure to look for your future postings both here and on YouTube.

Thank you very much Laurie for another great review! I enjoyed raising along with you. I’ll be keeping my eyes open for your next cruise so I can sail virtually along with you again.

Seems like our land trip distracted me from CC last week. We’re home, I’m trying to catch up here but have only made it through page 5 so far. Tomorrow is an early morning for me so this night owl can’t even stay up like I want to since I’m going to need to be functional tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll catch up here and everywhere else I want or need to by the end of the week.

Bill, I’m not at all surprised that you and Gina won the Love & Marriage game. You and Gina are definitely operating on the same wavelength. It must have been fun running into that couple from your roll. Sadly, the roll calls I’ve been on since cruising restarted have been totally dead or nonexistent. I miss the roll call that we had for Symphony back in 2019. I don’t belong to that other social media site and have no interest in joining there since I already spend way too much time online anyway. Like you said in a couple of posts, I guess I’m getting old! 😱😂
