  1. Good Morning!  The sun is up, the sky is blue, and it’s 22 degrees Celsius!  Finishing up my first coffee before heading upstairs to rearrange my suitcase. 

     

    Uber is coming at 10 so I can make my way to the pier. I’m sure I’ll have to wait but I’d rather wait at the pier than at the hotel. My plan, as long as the internet is good, is to post both photos and recaps. If there’s something you want to ask or see let me know. I’ll try my best to get them for you.

    Did you make it to Florida?  Blizzard is over here in Buffalo.

    My wife and I are going on the Bliss March 16th.  Never been on a cruise ship on St. Patrick's day.:classic_smile:

     

    Looking forward to reading about your adventures.

     

    Not quite.  I've got through customs :).  I'm waiting in the terminal at Pearson to board at 12:15pm.  I saw that the blizzard had ended but I wanted to make sure I made it on the boat 😄

  3. So excited to get out of the cold and get to the warm sunshine!  Here in Ontario Canada we're experiencing a deep freeze along with most of the mid-west.  We've been fortunate that we haven't had the crazy winter weather that Buffalo is getting but still its time for the sun!  I'm cruising solo as always, so I'm in the studio cabins for this trip.  I loved them on the Getaway so I'm sure I'm going to like them again.  With this being a Super Bowl cruise, it's going to be crazy!  Once again the Pats are in the Super Bowl rather than my Bills.  I'm just praying that the Rams crush them!  *Sorry Pats Fans*.  

     

    Itinerary: 

    Day 1: Miami

    Day 2 & 3: Sea Days

    Day 4: Tortola

    Day 5: St Thomas

    Day 6: Sea Day

    Day 7: Nassau

    Day 8: return to Siberia

     

    Pre-departure day

     

    Today started out rough and expensive!  On Tuesday a Blizzard started in Buffalo and as of last night was still going strong.  I was starting to get worried about my flight from Buffalo to FLL but thought it may clear up before Friday.  This morning I woke up, turned on my news, and saw that while conditions were slightly improved, they were still questionable as to whether the weather and roads would be clear in time.  I started researching other flights because I wanted to be prepared.  Around 8:30 this morning I bit the bullet, cancelled my Southwest flight because they couldn't guarantee we would fly, so $700 bucks later, I'm now flying out of Toronto to Miami.  So I cancelled my car rental, switched my post cruise shuttle to the right airport and told Elsa to get over her temper tantrum so I could bask in the sun.

    I like that the magazine rack isn't on the headboard like it is on Getaway.  It was really annoying there.  I'll be staying in a studio in February so thanks for the pics :).

  5. Thx. We did our best my friend. It was easier knowing winter at home has been one of the worst we've in a decade with quite a bit of ice and snow... Rather be in the Caribbean even in rain over that 😊

     

    No kidding! My family is out in Vancouver and I've been saying all winter Ontario and BC have switched weather patterns.

     

    Thanks for the great review...making the 364 day wait difficult lol!
