MORE NEWS!

The cruise on Majesty of the Seas for October 17, 2011 has also changed. We have reverted back to the Oasis of the Seas on October 15, 2011. CRAZY? YES! As it turned out, friends who we mentioned this cruise to, have decided to go. Okay...we killed another tree with all the paperwork. LOL.

The upcoming Caribbean Princess cruise looks real good and I am excited to go on it. Our first cruise on Princess promises to be a fun and new adventure filled time. I'll have more on this as I get some ship details of interest.

MIXED NUTZ ON ALLURE............ Come and join us! April 29, 2012

NEWS!

We made a late change and will NOT be cruising on the Celebrity Summit this June. We have switched to the Caribbean Princess, for a 9 night cruise to the caribbean, departing from New York. Once again we have secured a true aft balcony cabin. This one is on Caribe deck (10) on the corner...# C752. This is our first Princess cruise and our first cruise from our homeport, NYC.

We also had made a booking for Oasis in October but changed that as well. Once again we will cruise on Majesty, a four nighter out of Miami. It was so good last year ( and got an even better price this year) that it was too hard to refuse.

Still on the books ( and NOT TO CHANGE) is the MIXED NUTZ CRUISE GROUP on the ALLURE of the Seas. We were originally going on Oasis this year to get a head start on the layout of the ship. However, we will remain newbies for it and enjoy the feeling of awe as we board.

Upcoming cruises....

June 5, 2011

We are taking a cruise on Celebrity for the first time. This one is going to Bermuda... someplace we have never been. RCCL does not have a seven night cruise to Bermuda...only a five nighter. Not enough for us, so it's with Celebrity on this one.

October 17, 2011

Last September we cruised on Majesty of the Seas, a four night cruise from Miami. We originally had Oasis booked for 10/15/11, which would have given us a preview of what we would see on our next cruise on Allure. However, we thought it over and couldn't resist the spectacular savings by cruising Majesty. RCCL is offering a NY residency savings certificate. True.... you can't compare the ships but since we were going to be in Florida anyway for other reasons, the 4 nights work out just fine.

April 29, 2012

This is the MIXED NUTZ friends and family cruise. The group for this one is building already. We hope to get a really big turnout for this one.

Don't forget...... it's 2012... and since the world is supposed to end late in the year, this will give you one last chance to take part in a Mixed Nutz Cruise Group event......LOL. So... come and join us.

Lots of new stuff coming soon.

OASIS & ALLURE

First day

Liberty of the Seas

Our cruise on July 18, 2010 did not disappoint us in any way. This was our second Freedom class ship and believe it or not, Liberty seemed just a bit better. Everything on this cruise worked out just great. From the port of Miami and the subsequent days that followed, everything was wonderful. The weather co-operated and except for one brief shower in Jamaica ( near the end of the day) we didn't see rain.

The shows were ..... well.... what cruise ship shows are. The ice show however, never fails to be great.

The MIXED NUTZ once again were the Quest winners. We couldn't have done it without some new recruits. Cruise Director Mike Swajkowski turned up the difficulty by adding some dance moves into the game. Without our young recruits we would have been losers for sure. Their energy put us over the top.

Okay, I'll step back now and start from the beginning of the trip.

We started off from Islip MacArthur airport on Long Island, NY. We took an early flight to Fort Lauderdale on the day before the cruise. We stayed at the Ramada Hollywood Beach Resort in Hollywood Beach, just minutes away from the airport.

We had the whole day to enjoy the sun, the sand, the waters....including the pool and hot tub.

This group consisted of my family and my brothers family. We strolled the broadwalk and lunched at a small place along the walk. Later that day, original Mixed Nutz George and Marie arrived, bringing new friends with them.

We had dinner that night at O'malleys right on the beach in front of the hotel. It was a beautiful night and we strolled again on the broadwalk. ( yes ...it is broadwalk, not boardwalk ...it is pavers, not boards) There was lots of activity going on all along. Many clubs and restaurants with music and bands playing.

The vacation is only starting and we have to get some rest for the next seven days. So it is off to get some rest.
