Sea Dog

So far so good (with fingers crossed) we board in 12 minutes for flight to Miami.

I sure hope that was a typo that Royal did. in Atlanta now waiting for next flight. Made a Christmas reference in my notes for my review I hope you will like it. I almost packed my Santa Hawaii Shirt.

The children know something’s up!

Thank you Graham. I will drink one in your honor….or maybe two. Cheers! Lol I was wondering who was knocking? I’m really looking forward to Symphony. The only other oasis class ship I sailed on was Harmony. 5 years ago.

Yes I will check in here daily and post something and answer any questions. Most of the UDP reviews will be after i get back and have to think about it. Hey I can't forget my friends?

@Stealthdog Are you getting the drink package? Btw, I will be in a variety of Sea Dog T-Shirts and Polos. If you see me stop me and say hi.

Thanks Deb! So relieved that the storm in the Atlantic will not impact us.

Awesome start. Love those photos. You will be cruising to the two places we really want to go. I will be taking notes and posting when I can. Somehow my little trip on Symphony this weekend pales in comparison. Cheers!

Have a great cruise. I will be following along but I might have to wait till I get back to be able to read it all. We leave tomorrow. I’m all packed and ready to go. I know you are going to have a great time as I will too. Cheers!

I was originally going to retire at 62. I’m glad I stuck it out till 65. The extra money is nice. Tell him to hang in there it will go quickly. So sad. At least they were not hurt. Welcome to my world. I have to really do it when we park at economy parking at the airport for a week. You know I’ve never drank the stuff. Just does not seem appealing to me. I should at least try it someday. Who knows I might like it. I know it’s very popular. Yes I have been following James and the storm called “Invest 96L” now called “Fiona.” Luckily it will miss us. It helps that we are doing a western Caribbean route. I’m thankful we are not sailing out of San Juan this weekend.

Sorry if I haven’t kept up with all the conversations and responding. I’m In countdown mode trying to get everything done before we leave for Miami. Please know I care about everyone and everything that is going on.

We’ve got rips in all of our sheer curtains because of the cats. They love that stuff. Yeah I’m a little nervous with this storm that’s in the Caribbean right now. Hopefully it will not affect us. Thank you I will try my hardest.

Thank you good to know. It’s on our short list.

Agreed it will be interesting to compare notes. We all know food is subjective and can vary any given time and day.

That’s is a good possibility. Menu looks great!

Oh great it looks like I got competition and they are doing the same thing I'm doing.

Looking forward to your review as we are on this sailing as well and I'm doing a "as If live" when we get back with the focus on UDP. I guess great dogs think alike. 😉

That's a real good possibility. I read some reviews on the Mambo Cafe since we like Puerto Rican food but the review were really bad.

Anybody got restaurant recommendations in Miami near the Hilton Miami Downtown? Looking at the Mambo Cafe in the Bayside area. Any one go there?

CP150 for sure. Great ambience. Get the cucumber martini made table side. Also the beef tenderloin for two is a romantic sounding dish and tastes fantastic.

How are the crowds in the Windjammer when they open up at 7am?

Congratulations to Owen and his proud parents.

The shark kabobs are actually amazing. So tender and tasty with the marinade that put on it. I highly recommend you try it.

Yay! I’m happy you will be joining us again! It’s going to be so much fun. This is so wrong on so many levels. Sad that people have no compassion for anyone let alone courtesy.

Good luck with the PT and sounds great that he has the hardware removed. Give him my best for a speedy recovery. Happy belated! Sounds like you have a great support group. Cheers to you!
