We had a great time, it was funfilled!! I enjoyed meeting Kathy and "Hubby" we were on the same excursions both in Grand Cayman and Cozumel.

I also ran into Will, Ann and Emily in the Gift shop, it was nice to meet the people we had been chatting with for months.

Sorry we didn't make it to the Lido deck on Tuesday, we were at another activity, so we didn't get to meet John and Sandy (sorry)! Maybe next time. We are already planning for next year.

Thanks to all for a great cruise, we are just glad it wasn't for this week!

We had a great time. Five days was stretching it with a five year old. She did fine, but Grandma and Grandpa were wearing out. We were on M so the booming wasn't bad, but the crying kids near us were a disturbance. Next time we'll request differently. We got a table for three, which I didn't know existed ... kind of a disappointment since we love meeting new friends from all over. We loved Grand Caymen - could have spent more time there for sure. I wish we had a "heads up" on the weather ... we were in the dark until we got home. We heard lots of people still had good trips into Cozumel, but we just hung in the shopping area. We need someone to help us see the real sites next time!

OK, so how was YOUR cruise? We had a blast. Our porthole room was awesome but very loud with the booming of the waves. Our food was great and we met so many people with "Your time dining." Cozumel was a wash-out but we still had fun.

Guess we made it out of there just before Hurricane Ida!

2 days!!!!! My cold is improving. Much better than yesterday so I should be fine by Monday. I didn't buy any seasick pills this time. Last time I took ginger and bonine to prevent it and felt worse from using them. I had never used anything in the past but I had read so much on Cruise Critic so I bought it. Hopefully, I won't regret not buying anything.

Is everyone all packed and ready to go?

Kathy, I'm in the same boat as you (no pun intended), I too have cold symptoms but they don't seem to be getting better or worse, so I think they are allergies. Hope you feel better.

Will, now that we have the correct time, date and place to meet we shouldn't have a problem meeting up. But as it sounds, we may find you first in the casino, wearing your spiffy new gambling shirt.

Sea everyone soon. Bon Voyage!!!

I just have a mild stuffy head. No biggie. Since it started a few days ago, I am sure I will be A-OK by Monday. In fact, it could well be allergies since I have no fever and it seems to come & go.

See ya'll soon!

Hope you're feeling better. Ann and I are soooo ready for this cruise. By the way, I finnaly got it through my head we are meeting on Lido on TUESDAY (thanks sea jewel) instead of Monday.

I found a black shirt at Bealls yesterday to wear in the casino. It has dice and cards all over it...very touristy!! I'm thinking they may have pity on me and let me win a couple of hands of blackjack...lol.

Checked on pirces again today...guess the ship is fully booked as it says that cruise is no longer available.

I have the sniffles...taking Vit C and echinacea.....hoping it will resolve completely by Mon. It has been dogging me for a couple of days.
