suebcoop Posted September 23, 2018 #126 Share Posted September 23, 2018 OK, let's get this party going. First off, I never thought we'd book the President's Cruise to begin with, much less the week before. In this case fate has a funny way of stepping in. Laura got a call back in August last year from a dear friend of hers, one of the original Pinnacles. Somehow this tiny 85 year old lady strong armed Laura into booking. It's my understanding she did this to many others as well. She should work on commission. And then on Mariner this spring, some folks were talking in the CL about going the week before. I agreed if we could get the same cabin, didn't think it would be available. Off to NextCruise and bingo, here we are. :eek: This is my first Live since Mariner, that one lasted a month, so 14 days should be easy. Things to expect. I'm planning on using this forum to compare a normal week aboard Harmony to the circus that should be the 3rd Annual President's Cruise. We'll be on Deck 7, so let's see how often I get stuck on the wrong side of the Aft elevators. We have a new dog sitter, so I doubt there will be much of Bella. This will be my perspective as a fairly new Pinnacle, so lot's of CK, SL, C&A events, etc.. Especially week 2. There will be lot's of pictures. Mainly from my phone, not bringing the DSLR I don't mind an open forum, feel free to ask anything, answer if you feel like it. Just have fun. I need to be mindful of my wife, so I may be AWOL from time to time. Happy wife, happy life. I plan on experimenting with a few tricks and hacks that folks ask about from time to time. First time on Harmony, so excited to try a lot of her wonders. Wonderland, Jamie's, Bionic Bar, Ultimate Abyss, Perfect Storm, etc.. She'll be our homeport ship for the next year or so, I hope we love her. That's about it, welcome aboard. :halo: Hey I know that tiny 85 year old lady :hearteyes: Just remembered you telling me you were going to be doing this live review. Really nice reading and seeing pictures before we get on next week. Thanks John. You and Laura have a nice week, because I am afraid you are right about next week.

Rare John&LaLa Posted September 23, 2018 Author #129 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I am enjoying so far and looking forward to hearing about the PC cruise. Do you mind if I ask what brand of suitcases the blue and pink ones are? I love them! Thanks Jess American Tourister Cruise. Got them from Kohl's.

Rare John&LaLa Posted September 23, 2018 Author #130 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Balcony cabin showers are very different on Harmony. I think they're bigger. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted September 23, 2018 Author #138 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Suite seating on deck 5 was awful. Plus there was an LED light bar right over my head. Only one in theater as far as I could tell. Oasis and Allure use deck 4, much better. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klb1978 Posted September 23, 2018 #147 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Great live review so far! My family is hopping onto Oasis this morning so I’ll tune back in once we are home. I’m interested to read about the President’s cruise. Enjoy your cruises and thanks for taking us along! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted September 23, 2018 #148 Share Posted September 23, 2018 The food pics look tasty. Like I said, everything we ate was fair to good; nothing was great or excellent. Looking forward to your comments on next weeks cruise. Feeling sorry for the staff. They are stressed about it and rightfully so.

MaiseyM Posted September 23, 2018 #149 Share Posted September 23, 2018 What about the President Cruise is different from the rest? Do you have to get a special invitation? Obviously I see that they have Michael Bolton on board. I’m just curious what makes presidential cruise different than the other ones.
