May 2025 Newsletter (sent Mon, May 19)
Love Like You Mean It Cruisers,
Your May newsletter has crucial information about three topics: Main Session Times, Celebrating YOUR Anniversaries, and our Countdown to Sell Out Sale. Watch Tim’s full explanation video above.
Main Session Times
“Main Sessions” on the Love Like You Mean It Cruise are the teaching/worship sessions we have most evenings on the ship. Historically, the majority of guests want to attend these sessions. With the number of people on the ship and the size of the venues, it requires everyone to be assigned to a specific session time so they can plan their dinner and other activities around it.
Tim gives a full explanation of how that will work this year in his VIDEO mentioned above. Here are the specific times and locations of the main session options:
- Group A Panorama Theater / 4:00–5:15 PM
- Group A World Theater / 4:00–5:15 PM
- Group B Panorama Theater / 6:00–7:15 PM
- Group B World Theater / 6:00–7:15 PM
- Group C Panorama Theater / 8:00–9:15 PM
- Group C World Theater / 8:00–9:15 PM
If you are a Bella experience guest, you’re all set - your session will be assigned, and you don’t need to do anything. If you are a Fantastica, Aurea, or Yacht Club guest, you must CHOOSE your session time and venue.
- Special Notes:
- Fantastica Guests: Pick a session that doesn’t conflict with your assigned dining time.
- Aurea & Yacht Club Guests: Since you will have My Choice dining, choose a main session that aligns with your dining plans; main session times are fixed and cannot be changed.
- If you are planning on attending the same session as a friend or family member, coordinate with them before making your selection.
- How to choose:
- Email lovelikeyoumeanit@familylife.com with your choice OR log into your RezMagic account, where you can choose. Each guest cabin has to make their choice. We can not do any groups.
Celebrating YOUR Anniversaries
We NEED (not just want) to receive from every couple: a wedding picture, a current picture, your wedding date, and your wedding song or other song, you consider “your song” if you have one. Anything received will only be used for anniversary celebration activities on the ship. Check out Tim’s video for a more detailed explanation.
We have an easy way for you to send those to us digitally. Use THIS FORM to send us the information and photos. We can not receive it via email or physical pictures. Let our team know if you have difficulties with the form.
Countdown to Sell Out Sale
We will launch our Countdown to Sell Out Sale on June 1st, giving $400 off any stateroom. The sale will go through June 30th unless we sell out before then. We are approaching 85% full, so get your referral codes to those you still want to invite. Watch the website for updates in June on how full we are.
Look for your next update in mid-June.
Sail on,
Your FamilyLife Cruise Team

March 2025 Newsletter (sent Fri, Mar 14)
Love Like You Mean It Cruisers,
The 2026 monthly update newsletters have begun!!! You can watch a short update video from the FamilyLife Cruise Director above.
The important updates and reminders for this month include:
- You only have a few more days to use your referral code and save your friends a little extra cash during our Cruise Madness March Sale. The sale ends Monday, and while the referral codes don’t expire, the discounts will not match the Cruise Madness pricing after the 17th. Hurry, we are almost 70% FULL!
- If you have reserved an Aurea experience stateroom, but you want to be able to eat dinner with your friends in the Fantastica dining rooms, we can accommodate that. Make sure you know if your friends have early or late dining and give our team a call.
- If you are new to charters, some differences from regular cruises can be confusing. One difference is you will not receive your MSC booking number until we upload our manifest to MSC later this year. More details will come in the months ahead.
Look for your next update in mid-April.
Sail on,
Your FamilyLife Cruise Team
