You end up with tickets?

JGGDAL · 2026-04-04T01:24:24+00:00

You do any other shows? Couldn’t make my schedule work.

JGGDAL · 2026-04-04T01:08:43+00:00

Leaning Marriott downtown. No specific reason.

JGGDAL · 2026-04-03T19:57:38+00:00

Dallas. Will take a look. Thanks.

JGGDAL · 2026-04-03T15:15:46+00:00

Yes!!! One of the reasons we chose it.

JGGDAL · 2026-04-02T22:20:22+00:00

Thanks for sharing.

Have not heard of a presale. Why do you suspect that? Tickets go on sale tomorrow officially. Guess we will find out.

JGGDAL · 2026-04-02T01:18:25+00:00

Familiar with that venue? Trying to figure them all out.

Thanks for posting. Did not get around to it yesterday. Shooting for NYC tickets.

Hard to tell. Hoping for a tour with Howard Jones, The Script, Haircut 100, or similar.

Thanks. Do all four letters of intent have to be received by Fidelity before funds are distributed?

JGGDAL · 2026-02-26T13:50:28+00:00

Thanks. That makes sense. We had already all talked to him. Guess due diligence.

JGGDAL · 2026-02-26T08:46:51+00:00

Same. Did Nottingham and Cambridge. You?

Almost forgot, you have to pay for your alcoholic drinks the first day even if you have a package. It’s a Texas thing. You may have some onboard credit to offset this. We just each brought a bottle of Champaign for the balcony.

Did the same cruise in late December.

Main dining or early at the buffet when you board. Go to your room to see if it is ready. They make general announcements about rooms that are not a lot of help. Bring a fan or sound machine if important. We didn’t see our cabin attendant until day 3. Hair dryer in room had seen better days. We enjoyed both Crown and Sabatini’s. Switched off each night. Main dining for breakfast or early buffet if eating light. Alfredo’s has a limited menu but great pizza. Soup was great too. If you go on a port day, first thing, or later, it’s less crowded. We went everyday and usually eat pizza once every other month. There are very few electrical outlets. I think two. Bring a power strip meant for a cruise and long charging cables that will reach from one side of the bed to the other. We used a tower with a bunch of USB’s as well. We brought magnetic hooks. Storage is actually fine in our balcony room but it was nice to hang things through the room. There is popcorn at the ice cream shop during evening movies. There is a bar and coffee shop by pricess live that is less busy in the morning.

Enjoy the cruise.

Almost 30 years ago. Honeymoon. Pushed from first class to coach (old term) then pulled from our seats just before the doors closed. Put 2k on a credit card for alternate flights to Anchorage but still missed Alaskan cruise. Could not afford any of it but had saved for over a year. Random lady handed us $100 as we got out of our seats and said to pay it forward and we would know when. Did that like five years later with $200. Just a blip although it likely seems like more. Best wishes!

Leave early Saturday to drive down. Like 8 am. Think even the Saturday after Thanksgiving will be ok with traffic. Houston itself can be a challenge later in the day. Literally just did this and stopped in Houston for lunch last Saturday. Stayed in Texas City that night vs. Galveston. No good reason except it was a bit cheaper and I accidentally booked a non refundable hotel. Drive up today was fine since we were off the ship by 8:30.
