I missed it. Only time I will catch a sunrise but that's ok at least I caught a sunset. Fingers crossed 😀

Line started moving at 657 and I'm on the shuttle at 707.

Lining up at 648.

Tentatively September 16 on Celebrity Reflection. If not then a Halloween cruise is in the works most likely on Carnival, they really do great job with Halloween.

I wouldn't say I'm ready, but I know all good things must come to an end 😀.

Thank you!

Luggage is lined up in the theater in the order we arrived and we are sitting in the theater and they will call us when we can leave. Seven is when they expect that begin.

Good morning from or near Ft.Lauderdale. I guess since I am up anyway, I am going to finish throwing together my stuff and head on out with the first group of people. It's way too early for sane people to be awake, goodness me.

Did a little last minute wanders just taking in the ship one last time. I said it before but it is worth repeating, this class of ship feels like home. Second only to Conquest class on Carnival, I have spent more days at sea on Voyager/Freedom class than any other and it was so wonderful to be back. Took care of my Next Cruise booking bonus and will assign it to something once I get a chance to nail down the date that will work best. Cashed in my vouchers. Andrew must have covered my coffee this morning as I still had all five vouchers remaining. He is trying to make up for the way he treated me but it is too little too late. I'm back in the room now and going to see about turning in early to make the transition back into reality a little less unpleasant. Thanks for following along, good night everyone.

Thank you. Sadly, the casino budget is busted for a couple trips. I set myself three budgets to stick to with the expectation of hitting the middle budget. I blew past all of them, by more than I should have. Gonna have to sit the casino out for now, but I have until April to renew my status at least.

Well I'd managed to go the entire cruise without needing my motion pills. Very smooth ride. I did just get into my vitamin c tablets I picked up somewhere in Spain last year. Feel the Ole cruise crud coming on and since I won't get a good night's sleep I need all the help I can get to keep it away.

Those little tarts are good enough to be in the al bacon case. Most of that plate was good which is really saying something when you consider how much I'd already eaten.

Oops. How did this get here.

If it was Miami it would definitely be a get out of town asap scenario. Ft.lauderdale is usually not terrible until 95. Can't believe it's over either. Bummer.

I finally remembered 😀

I almost didn't get a single sunset this cruise. Fixed it.

Chocolate Brownie and peach trifle 7:43.

I'm not really a turkey person but I've seen a number of reviews recently raving about it and I don't dislike turkey. I wasn't a fan. It was not bad but it was a little dry and lacked much flavor. The flavor is perhaps on me as I said I am mixed on turkey, bit it definitely needed to be more moist. The salmon was also just a touch dry. The flavors were all very good and I can tell this would have been a home run if not for that. I don't feel a food coma coming on. Maybe dessert will push me over.

Seafood cake is very similar to the crab cake and just as delicious amd full of mice chunks of Seafood and not a lot of filler. Definitely recommend. Trying something new for me... Turkey dinner 7:25. Pecan crusted salmon.

Seafood cake 712.

I'm going to eat myself into a food coma tonight. The menu.

Made it in pretty quick.

Casino Royale will periodically send offers for comp cabins in addition to the ones you earn onboard.

Intermittent fasting mostly.

I am accepting donations 🤣
