I am looking forward to hearing about your time at the Chef’s Table and where it is located. We have it booked next month on Harmony.

I am done with the rain and wind. We’ve lost a tree and a fence. We also have an extra trash bin that came flying down the hill. If nobody claims it soon, we are keeping it.

I’m so sorry to hear this. Hope they will be okay. 🙏

That’s exciting! I hope you had a great time. Can’t wait to hear about it.

We just reserved an Uber X for the 2 of us from Hobby to Galveston for our cruise in March. The cost will be $53.20. It is always less to reserve ahead of time.

I am also an early riser. When I was on Explorer, I would go to Cafe Promenade for a cup. I brought my own cup because I like a lid when I am walking and it keeps it hot on my way back to my cabin.

A picture is worth 1,000 words! Looks like you had fun!

I am so sorry about your vacation plans. I think you need a bottle of wine to go with that pizza while you plan something fun to do this week. Maybe a staycation or a road trip in a few days when everyone is feeling better.

This may not be the norm but he definitely pulled something shady and purposely left us in the wrong place. We had given him the name of a very specific restaurant where we were meeting. My guess was that he was in a hurry to get back and pick up another fare. Lesson learned here. Hope my story helps others from having a similar experience. From now on I will use Uber because there is a record of the driver who picked you up. Also the price with Uber was way more reasonable.

We walked and took the water taxi to Stone Island last week. I felt very safe and it was easy to do. The hardest part was navigating through all the taxis and tour guides. We had a great time at the beach.

We were in Puerto Vallarta last week and took a taxi to meet our tour. Our driver dropped us off in completely the wrong place. When we questioned him on if this was the right place, he said it was a one way street and all we had to do was walked half a block and we would see it. He lied. We ended up having to get a new taxi to take us to the correct place which was another 3 miles away. We talked with others in our tour and they had used Uber. So we used Uber to get back to the ship. It was so easy to do and it was half the price of our first taxi. I would never take another taxi here again.

Thank you all so much for letting us all follow along. It has been a fun thread to follow, and I now have a huge list of drinks to try on my next cruise! Safe travels on your way back home.

I second this! Enjoy your vacation and time with your family, and post when it's convenient.

It sounds like this was a heartbreaking trip. First your daughter’s doll and teacher, and then the devastating news about your father. I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

We had MTD and just returned from our 8 day cruise on Explorer. I thought MTD was great! We used it on 5 of the nights. We made reservations for 7:15 on each of the nights but sometimes we went as early as 6:30 and never waited more than 10 min. Sometimes there was a line for reservations but there was never more than a handful of people in the line. The line for no reservations was a bit longer but it didn’t look unreasonable. The first night we went was on day 3 so I have no idea how crazy it was on the first 2 nights. In years past, the first few nights are always disorganized. I’m glad we stayed with MTD. It worked for us.
