A little mini TR from our Royal Caribbean cruise last week for @Bullseye1967 and @Tuvalu

We were on board Harmony of the seas. It’s an oasis class ship, which was their largest class until icon of the seas debuted earlier this year. Here she is towering over the port of Galveston.

Enjoying the first of many cocktails.

We had a great ocean view balcony!

We enjoyed the Central Park area of the shIp. It was a great quiet spot.

Anyone who’s played golf with me can tell you that I am terrible at putting!

Occasionally we will dress in decent clothing, instead of what A calls “hobo clothes”.

Lunch at the steakhouse.

This pie was outrageous.

I opted for chocolate cake.

Gotta love those wake views!

Grease is the featured musical onboard. Fun fact - my parents went to see Grease in the movie theater on their first date! The show onboard was outstanding.

Our first stop was Roatán, Honduras.

It was HOT down there.

The island is home to thousands of native iguanas. We made a quick stop at a local sanctuary to feed and say hi to a few.

This bird only spoke Spanish, so we didn’t have much of a conversation.

Brenda the sloth was a highlight for us!

The monkeys were pure chaos, in a fun way!

Grabbing drinks at bionic bar before lunch. It’s a neat concept, but the drinks were just ok.

One of my favorite dishes on the cruise. Jerk seasoned pork chop.

My beautiful bride during a beautiful sunset.

There were 4 ships in port at Costa Maya. We wisely stayed on the ship and had a pool day(it’s not our favorite port). The view was just fine from the pool deck!
IMG_0452.jpeg

The ship has an aqua show featuring high divers, acrobats, and tight rope walkers. I am always in awe of people who can achieve these physical feats.

You never know what you’ll find in the elevator.

We spent our last port day relaxing on the beach in Cozumel.

We may have had a few margaritas!

The last night of the cruise featured Disney trivia. Do you think we won?

That’s pretty much all the pics I have. We had a great time and are looking forward to our next cruise, which will be the southern Caribbean in 2025! On to California this summer!

Hi everyone, we are so excited already as we have just booked our next holiday to WDW for 2025. Virgin Atlantic had their Free Dining etc deal come out today so we didn’t wait. We are staying at the Wilderness Lodge for two weeks in September 2025 and Endless Summer Universal for 5 days before. I know it’s a long time yet but we are excited to be going back again. 😊

Always great to have a trip booked in the MDE app! I read there are free tours of WL too!

The WL tour is great! Definitely do it if you have the time. We have done it twice with two different guides and learned different things each time. If we ever stay there again we will do it again.
I also took the WL tour, although it was quite a few years ago. At the time, I recall I was surprised to learn about the extent of the behind-the-scenes information. The tour guide was pleasant, and I'd recommend the tour to others as well. (Plus, it was a nice little break from the parks, etc.)

I'm so jealous! That's so exciting. We don't have an opening date for epic universe beyond 2025, do we? Are you planning to go there too? I want to go, but I want it to have time for the hype to die down first, and I want to go in 2027 after my daughter turns 21. I want to go for my 50th birthday, but my daughter is 6 months shy of 21 then, so we'll have to wait. I wish we could go more often!

Can you do the tour if you aren't staying there?

We did Universal so many times last year we are not planning on going there this time, only City Walk for the restaurants and shops. We are hoping to go every two years while our health allows so we may be there in 2027 as well. We always go in September so if you go then as well that would be great.
