Don’t worry about that!! We understand how important and needed family/couple time is. ESPECIALLY on vacation. This trip will be a complete free for all. Your time is YOUR time. In fact, we encourage you to do your own thing, we are!
We WILL plan some activities to get together but no one is obligated to come to any of them. You’re paying for this vacation, you enjoy this vacation. But, we will have some daily activities planned in case anyone wants to just show up.
We will probably plan a brunch day, a lunch day, meeting up for some of the ships shows and performances, and DEFINITELY some night life clubbing and themed night costumes.
On every sailing, they have themed nights. Its a big deal to frequent cruisers and MANY people participate. Example themes are:
1. Caribbean Night (Think: Flower shirts, cargo/beach shorts, Sarongs, panama hats etc)
2. Country Night (You’re in Texas, use your imagination, basically Sat night attire in Texas. Cowboy hats, Jeans, button ups, boots etc)
3. Through the Decades / 50s, 60s, 70s (Think: Poodle skirts, Leather jackets, Tye Dye, Go-Go boots, Afros, bell bottoms etc)
4. 90s/2000s night (Think: Crop Tops, Baggy jeans/JNCOS, Bucket hats, Visors, oversized shirts, huge bling)
5. Formal Night (Think: Suits, Cocktail dresses, Clutches, Diamonds, Heels, Ties, sparkles…all the things. This is a VERY big one. MANY people do it.)
6. White Night (Think: ALL WHITE! White shirts, shoes, pants, accessories, you name it. Its almost a contest to see who can have the most white.
This is also a VERY big one. Many people do it.)

Yes!!!!, if we can get at least 12 rooms booked, the rates will go down, saving about $400 per room.
Yes!!!!, If you want to go but don’t want to pay the whole solo rate, text me and let me know how many people you’re comfortable sharing a room with and I’ll match you up. I WILL say 3 adults is gonna be about max for a comfortable trip, usually it will be 2 though.
And, I’m a pretty good judge of character so I will make sure to pair you up with someone I KNOW you’ll like and get along with!
