AW: Booked a cruise!

dragonstarjk · March 2016

H and I have been saying the last couple of years that we'd like to do a warm-weather getaway in the colder months, in addition to our regular summer vacation. I just booked a Royal Caribbean cruise for 4-nights to the Bahamas for next February! They were having a great sale and I couldn't pass it up! I only had to pay a $200 deposit with nothing else due until December, so if for some reason we decided it wasn't in the budget, we could cancel up until then.

I know it's almost a year away but I'm still so excited!!! We've done two previous cruises; one to Alaska and one in Hawaii. This one will visit the Bahamas and Key West--which is a place on my bucket list!

I really want to take an Alaska cruise at some point - we would need to take more than a week off for it though, so it's hard to find the time!

You'll love the Bahamas and Key West. Both great places!

Bahama water is SO BLUE!! It's amazing, you'll love it! It's on my list of places to go back to.

And @hoffse - do it, Alaska is so beautiful! I did a cruise there a few years ago and it was awesome.

Congrats!!! That should be a wonderful trip. And it's nice to be able to "sneak an extra vacation in" when you find a good deal.

Enchantment of the Seas--a smaller ship which we are fine with!

Awesome! That will work well especially since your only going to 1 place. That was the first ship I went on with them on a family vacation.

It leaves out of Miami. I think we'll try to get there a day early to maybe check out a beach nearby? I haven't even started planning any of that yet. We'll eventually get back to Miami for a baseball game, so I'm not super worried about trying to see the sights while we're there.

I haven't sailed Royal Caribbean before--we've previously sailed Princess and NCL. I'm not cruise line loyal, I just try to get the best deal that's going someplace we want to go
