The Royal Caribbean advertisement above the postings is very enticing.  Too much to resist for us.  We booked a cruise with them but went through travelocity.  Just $249 a person for an oceanview room plus they gave us a onboard credit of $25.00.  We will be sailing on Nov 16 for five days out of San Diego going to Ensenada and Cabo San Lucas.  Less than two weeks to go!  We are very excited, we have been married for 13 years and this will be the longest trip we have ever taken together (no kids!).  Every year on our anniversary (in Oct) we say maybe next year we will do something, well finally we are doing something.  To bad we couldn't all go together and overwhelm the bathrooms!  Can you get banned from a ship?

Congratulations!!!! You'll love that cruise.....we took the 7-day version on our honeymoon.

They don't ban you from a ship. They just let you go swimming.
 
Cruises rank among the best vacations we've had. You'll have a great time. Eat too much, everyone else does.

Bryan and Heather--Have a great time!  Happy Anniversary.  We went on the Royal Carribean from LA to Ensenada for 3 days for my birthday and had a blast--just beware of the bingo games and the casino--they can make the trip much more expensive than expected.:eyecrazy:

Yes, we are planning for that and drink expenses as well.  I fully intend to be a gluton.  We are shopping our shore excursions now so we can pay for them before we leave.  I think in Ensenada we are going to go on a winery tour via ATV's.  We havn't decided what to do in Cabo but are leaning toward snorkling or submarine tour.  12 more wake ups!

How exciting for the two of you we have to wait all the way to Aug.....
But that's a good thing I need all the time I can get to pay for this trip of a life time......Hahaaaaa
Take lots of pictures to share......Can't wait to hear all about the fun

Hey are you two packed only 4 more days till the Cruise......We expect a full report when you get home........

Crowbar4

Haven't started packing yet.  Heather has been getting other things ready though, reading items, nice clothes for dining room etc.  However Heather has been sick all week and Tyler has been sick with a fever for the past couple of days.  Ashley was sick a couple weeks ago for 5 days.  I am nervous about Heather being healthy in time and for myself not to get sick with the rest of the family.  I have prayed about it though so I expect I will be fine, God is always good to me! Three more wake ups!!!!

Did you take out the travel ins.....Just in case?  That's the trouble with fall and winter travel plans that darn flu gets in the way sometimes.....Sure hope everyone gets and stays well so it'll be a super cruise....

Yes we did get the insurance, but I don't think we will need it.  Heather has been getting better and I'm still good (no big surprise with help from above).  The insurance also covers us during the trip if it gets cut short for some reason or one of us has to get medivaced off the ship.  It was $25 per person and we thought that was reasonable.  Still haven't packed, will do that tomorrow.  2 more wake ups!!

Just remember to pack lightly in a big suitcase to make room for the clothes and souvenirs that you will be buying in the ports of call.  
Oh, and have a great time too.  :sombraro:
