Buy the water before you leave. For it and the coke put luggage tags on them , that how we did cokes and java monsters . That how most people do water also. Check the corkage fee on the champagne. Royal charges 25

A corkage fee is crazy, some other way to take your money. A $15 corkage fee will be charged should guests wish to consume their wine or champagne in the main dining room, steakhouse or bar. I assume there is no fee if we drink it in the room.

I have my eye on a 1999 Fleetwood American tradition, 40 ft DP with a slide. Wife thinks I'm nuts to buy something like that because she thinks it will sit in the yard all but a week or 2 a year. Little does she know we would be using it more than that.

They will deliver it to your table not your room.

That the problem with motorhomes, boats, snowmobiles. How many times did yall take the boat out last year?

Tell you wife and daughter to watch the upsale in the spa. They could hit $100 real fast. If they want their hair and nails done do it before not onboard. You may want consider a cap on your daughters seapass card. Needing no money on board just sign is easy to loose track. Dont forget the 18% gratuity on almost everything. At the bar the 18% is added plus there is a line for additional tip. Lexie made that mistake.
One way to avoid a bunch of charges is put up the 500 cash deposit

Yea that one. I like it, the wife likes it and it's a hell of a deal and it is within our budget. I always liked driving the old RV just wanted something bigger and nicer. I would much rather search for campgrounds than motel rooms. Military campgrounds are way cheaper than civilian ones.

I already paid for a motel room and the port parking so we won't take it down for the cruise. But we will take it to the beach in July. No need for a cap on the daughters sail card since it is just the family going.

The wife said we ought to test out the motorhome next weekend at the campground down the road. I said it's a good idea and we will but we will need to get dishes, pots and pans, silverware, towels, etc first. Our neighbors down the road have an RV and invited us to go camping with them. They go up to the Tennessee mountains 2 times a year, the wife and daughter said we should go with them. Last week they didn't even act like they want to go camping.!!

Make sure you explain to her that if she signs a receipt you will have to pay later. I know she is smart. Our first cruise Lexie bought a b7nch of high dollar crap from the spa that way.

If you can I would reccommed an overnight camp at or close to the dealership. That way you dont drive it home find stuff wrong and have to take it back.
Not sure if you can pull the Hummer. Those years only had a Cummins 8.3 300 hp with the Allison world 6 speed. I think that one has a steel frame

Take you video camera. I cant remember if your old one was fiberglass or metal.
If you see bubbles in the exterior walls that is delamination.
