Pre and post cruise accommodation booked!

[UKDEB]

Felt that I needed to do something to alleviate that dreadful 'first day back at work post holiday' feeling .

So, now our itinerary is all set:

One night at Le Meridien, Gatwick;

Fly VA to MCO and one night at the Celebration Hotel;

Drive to Miami and pick up the ship;
7 night Caribbean cruise aboard NCL's new Norwegian Jewel ;
One night at Hotel Victor on Ocean Drive;

2 nights in a Beach Cottage at Disney's Vero Beach.

Roll on April!

Deb that looks great! Will you mind letting me know how you like the Celebration Hotel? I fancy that one for an adults only trip

But it's not the places you stay, but the people you are with that's important, right Deb?

We've always wanted to stay there, Karen, but we've never been able to fit it in. Now we've found the perfect excuse!

We were supposed to let you know about Shula's, weren't we? We had a fantastic meal there, and we did enjoy it, but it was very expensive - $600 for 4 of us (although that did include 2 x $200 bottles of wine). I can't say that it's any better than any other top-end steakhouse we've tried - Ruth's Chris, Old Hickory Steakhouse (at Gaylord Palms), The Palm (at HRH). How good can a steak be?

Great news, sounds a fantastic trip

Deb - thanks for the Shula's review! Might give it a miss in favour of the Palm then

Deb, you guys are going to have a wonderful time! I just love Vero Beach, it's so relaxing. I took an hour long walk every evening, before dinner up and down that beach. I also took a ton of pictures in a beach cottage, if you're interested, although the tour at the DVC Member website pretty much covers it all.

I just went ahead and added them, so that you could see them and get even more excited!
