Sail away went off without a hitch - we ended up watching from our balcony because we had dinner at 5:30; what I selected when booking. Well we got downstairs and they had us as my time dinning. It was rectified but we had to agree to a shared table. I didn't care - I'm all for making some new friends.

 

Service was a bit slow but not terrible. I have Celiac and thus eat gluten free. They've handled it wonderfully so far. I'm even getting French toast for breakfast 🙂

 

It is clear they are short staffed but everyone seems to be in a good mood. I'm an easy going person and unless there is an egregious error I just roll with whatever happens. That includes ports - who knows where we'll end up but that's the risk one takes cruising right now.

 

The percent positive on the last cruise is high. Are they doing everything possible to stop spread? Probably not everything (not everyone has to be vaccinated). Are decisions being made to put profit before people? I think they'll say no but they are a corporation in business to return a profit for shareholders. They do have to think of the health and safety of people though to have a profit. The unanswered and debatable question is where is the line? I'm just glad I'm not making those decisions. 

 

I weighed the risk on taking this trip and made the decision to go. Intelligent - maybe not but it's made and I'm going to make the most of it and have a good time.

 

I'm at Schooner now listening to Jamie play the piano. He's fanatic and I having an excellent time.

 

I'll gather some information on questions you've asked tomorrow.

Ask him to play Alphie he promised would learn this standard 

They served that red Kite Beach $3 on mine, also brought my own following cruise

I able, an easy 15 min walk.

I made A2S rezzies yesterday for our Feb 2022 Grandeur sailing.  I was able to book one of their chartered AA flights even though the regularly scheduled flights are not yet out (it’s more than 330 days until the return flight date).  Since the airfare is completely refundable up until final payment, if I find a better schedule or deal in early April (which will put me inside the 330 day window), I can change flights then with no penalty. I would prefer First Class and the charter flight we’re currently booked on does not offer FC so I will check back in early April to see what the regularly scheduled flights offer. I found it to be a painless and completely fair process.

Did you book air2sea on line, I am getting an error for 2/20/22 charter flight?  Maybe I need to call

I was just matched two weeks ago,  but only got Gold; am D+ with >550 points.  And now with Double points really not as interested going on MSC

no problem.  I have FCC's for clients already so I read how it works.  Thanks for posting

Just want to make sure I got this if I apply $2,000 FCC to a fare only costing $700 in December 28th  I won’t be able to use balance till January?

Last Adventure cruise dinged out at 6:39am and made a 7:10 am flight.  Talk about stressing making a flight.

Fabulous video! Can you tell me if they updated the gym equipment, I did not see it in the video. Thx

So when booking opens, we there will only be 12 Balcony Studios to book, the other 16 inside studios that need to be booked as part of a suite? They better get the D+ full discount.

There will be no true inside studios to book alone, which is what I was hoping for.

OK I finally got to 55,000 points. Has anyone had a problem in getting 11 $50 credit vouchers?

Are you planning to take the bus to The Crane?
