Double Post.

Our paths will cross in NJ. We get off when you are getting on. We have never been on a ship around Christmas, so looking forward to seeing the decorations.

This will be our 2nd time on Anthem and enjoy the shorter drive...though don't mind the drive to FL either if getting on a ship is at the end of the road!

Just added another 28 points for March break 2022.....thanks to Empress. 

Me too...but you already know that!

At least I think I do in a JS? 

If you don’t like what they are doing, why can’t you cancel?

Any idea why they didn't go with the BIG ship name on Wonder?

And why are all those people standing at the bottom of the wall on the bow? 😁

 

 

Team meeting...

Where are the holes? Do you see any holes? You all had one job. One job!!

In other news, the "chat" icon now appears in the Royal app for Empress for a November cruise.

 

 

It doesn't work unless you are on the ship so there is no way to know if this is a glitch or a sign that this promised feature is soon to arrive across the fleet including Empress.  

   

 It is showing on other ships as well like Anthem & Oasis.

Been on both...finally, and have future bookings on both, so I will say right (2021), then left (2022)!

If had to choose just one, I really do like Anthem.

Something @Lloyd555 missed, 

He didn’t miss it, just off by a day! See post #429.

Carnival has long taken the approach of not keeping up with painting the hull.  At the moment Empress looks like a Carnival ship, the Carnival Empress.  Maybe that is who they sold her to and they are getting her ready... 🙂    

Originally, I was actually going to photoshop a Carnival funnel on her and say she would fit right in!

Looking good, my Queen

...She was looking nice and white March 13 in Cozumel...the day we found out we were the last cruises. We were on Oasis.

March 5, I tend to have one around the first week of every month starting Nov '21

 If I looked at your signature, I guess I wouldn't have had to ask.😔

We are 12th.

 We did an Empress to Symphony shift that was upside down 7 grand.

 

Ditto!

I had our TA handle it from the get go.

 

Smart TA's make it simple.

Which Symphony cruise? We are March '22.

Obviously not worried about trading paint

Just like when CCL docks in Cozumel.

Anyone know when she is supposed to enter dry dock? Looks like she’s been alongside in Brest for a few days now....

Looks like she is in the dry dock now.

Our TA drives to Miami from Ontario.😉😱

 

My great TA does same drive!😉

And we did it this past March for Oasis’ last cruise. Personally, the drive becomes part of the vacation. Much more relaxed drive home than flying would have been mid-March. 

@Tall-Cruiser, yes it looks to me like that. Just wasn’t sure if it had been discussed already. I like the outdoor seating. Maybe since it is a warm weather ship, they want to maximize the air conditioned area of WJ?

Not sure if this has been discussed before, but is the Windjammer on 14 going to be totally enclosed and have no outdoor seating?

We were on Oasis too. Still symptom free.

Hope everyone washy washy-ed enough!

I know both ships were together in Costa Maya, so what are the chances only 1 person per ship? ...with letters going out at same time for both! 
 

i am not trying to read much into it, but seems strange both letters were sent at same time.

Probably just as likely as the Isle's winning multiple Stanley Cups in a row.

Not with that goalie...Billy someone?

Off Oasis today...Captain said they will be anchoring somewhere in Bahamas. May go out into Atlantic a couple of times to test systems. 
 

He joked it will be first time Oasis has actually truly anchored...he hopes the anchor works!

Most crew will stay onboard, but will have choice to go home.

Haha. So true. Here is the “Ice Cream” they serve. Vanilla about to be loaded into the magic machine. 😀

 

 

Boarding on Sunday...I will have one Sunday afternoon! DQ probably uses the same bags.

My point was that the list is at all times only 80% accurate. Seems a bit misleading and  I think should be a better way to upkeep. 

I don't want this to come across completely rude, but if you think you have a better solution, please present it.

In the meantime, I think this is list is probably very accurate to within a week or so of a change.

Thanks for the amazing trip report 🙂  Looks like you have had great weather! Fingers crossed we have lots of sunshine too - sailing in 9 sleeps!

 Ditto, except I have 16 sleeps.  😒

We are on the same cruise. We have "suggested" arrival time of 11:30, but I plan to be there by 10:00, hoping to board between 10:30-11.
