Which kind are available to pick up from bars for those with packages? Old school or molded plastic? Thanks. The cheap molded ones! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DeerJod Posted August 21, 2022 Author #127 Share Posted August 21, 2022 So I believe I messed up getting the water package, we got 24 waters for somewhere around 28$ for the cruise. I brought two refillable insulated containers and we’ve been filling them with ice and water from the ship. I have probably 16 of my waters left and the only reason we drank them was because I didn’t feel like walking up 3 decks to fill the containers. next cruise I’ll skip the water package 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DeerJod Posted August 21, 2022 Author #128 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Dinner at Giovanni’s was amazing so consistent and tasty. We had the same server and he knocked it out of the park. tipped 20$ yesterday and a 50$ tonight he seemed rather taken aback tonight but it was well deserved. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DeerJod Posted August 21, 2022 Author #129 Share Posted August 21, 2022 One of my Diamond drinks didn’t get used but then I realized there was a 100 obc that I for sure was not expecting. I’m not going to fight 15 when I was gifted 100 out of the blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DeerJod Posted August 21, 2022 Author #131 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Overall this has been a great trip. The key was nice for the early embarkation and the debark, but the only reason I got it was because it was 3$ more than the internet package. We didn’t do any of the shows or any of the reserved spots you get with the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DeerJod Posted August 21, 2022 Author #132 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Diamond is the most impactful upgrade to the cruising experience. These 4 drinks a day were awesome this perk is so freaking fantastic. Although we only did a single visit to the Diamond lounge it was relaxing and had some wonderful snacks.

Rare DeerJod Posted August 21, 2022 Author #133 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Sadly no gambling happened on this casino comped cruise but ds and I had a great time. If anyone is on the fence with going solo with a 4.5 year old I’d strongly encourage it. It’s the right age to have a fun memorable weekend cruise. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DeerJod Posted August 22, 2022 Author #134 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Alright cruise critic it’s been real, enjoy these “late night” shots I’ll post a bit tomorrow on the way home but this almost concludes the review. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fla33023 Posted August 22, 2022 #136 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Had a great time following along! The pics from Giovanni's really do get the hunger pains going. Lol I'm not sure who had the better time, you or your son! Safe travels home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmermaid Posted August 22, 2022 #138 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Thanks for the report. We will be boarding FOS in exactly one week using the Key. Like you it was only a couple dollars more than Zoom. Did you use the key to exit off the ship? Wondering how early they start the send off breakfast.

luvcruzing Posted August 23, 2022 #141 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Hard to believe this was a three-night cruise. Seemed so much longer. I really enjoyed following along with you and your lucky son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly question, but I was gonna bring some water onboard and thought it was allowed again. Why did you have to pour it out; container too big? Thanks.
