Embroidered Patches

I made myself some embroidered patches - and you can commission me to make one for you, too!
They are $15 each and 1st class shipping is included free. Please allow a few days, as each commission takes about 90 minutes so I am limited how many I can make each day. 

The 'original' design on the left is 6.5" x 5.25", and the Alumni design is 7" x 5". They are stitched onto black felt and do not have an iron-on backing. I'm glad to add one if you like (no extra cost), but I don't recommend it for patches this large. If you are not able to sew it on yourself most full-service dry cleaners and sometimes even shoe-repair shops will do it pretty cheap.

The 80s Cruise 2025: Book Club!

 Here's some great books featuring artists from the 2025 80s Cruise line-up!

2025 Cruise

Here's what we know so far! The 2025 80s Cruise will be embarking on Sunday, March 2nd from Miami and return Sunday, March 9th. The Explorer of the Seas will be stopping at Nassau, San Juan, and Labadee.

This is the same ship from the 2020 Cruise.  As before, the artists won't be announced until the first night on board the 2024 Cruise. 

What Port Days Typically Look Like

There's been concern over scheduling excursions when we're in port - but if you look at the last 3 cruises you'll see ECP has taken exceptional care to not schedule much then.  You should count on the Main Stage shows happening at their regular times. Other celeb events on port days tend to be within one hour of departure, so I would consider that a safe guideline.

Additionally, the Royal Caribbean website states EXCURSIONS CAN BE CANCELED UP TO 48 HOURS PRIOR to port arrival without penalty.  So you could go ahead and book the excursion you like and cancel it if you need.

We will be in port at Curaçao from 7:00 am - 3:00 pm and it's exceedingly unlikely there will be any celebrity events on board then.

We will be in port at Aruba from 11:00 am - 11:00 pm, so yes - the Main Stage shows will likely occur at their regular time.

* This is not the entire day’s schedule, I’m only showing the schedule of events while in port.  For full schedules, check out all the other daily schedules I've posted!  It's possible early morning events could run long (like Bret Michaels' meet & greet that ran several hours after his interview).
