Tour guide is telling us all about island life. What I got out of it.
-If you see a mongoose “kick it”. 

Spaniards brought rats to the island and their solution to that was mongeese… and they hate both. 

Have you ever seen the Snoop Dogg video where he talks about "mongooses" If not, You tube it

Now that we have met Mr. Megan, can you throw in a picture once in a while so that we can see that he's okay? 

We need proof of life!! 🤣

I kind of figured that would be the last one standing with all the renovations they did to it.

 

And the Elation type ship is the only one that will fit under the bridge in Jax.

Ahoy sailors and welcome aboard! I’m so excited to escape the “cold” and sail a beautiful southern itinerary. We will be sailing over Super Bowl, Mardi Gras, and Valentine’s Day, what more could you ask for?
This is a group cruise. The immediate group will include about 16. We’ve been planning this since our last VV cruise… on Valiant Lady, January 2024. The last group included 8 people, and we’ve definitely grown by leaps and bounds. I won’t even say exactly how many people I know on this sailing. We are flying into San Juan 2 days early (Thursday), and we are heading over to El Yunque on Friday. Thats a first for me. I’ve been to San Juan a dozen times but we’ve never ventured outside of San Juan proper. Also a first, we are staying at an airbnb. If you’ve never coordinated a big group… that decision was probably the hardest that had to be made. I can’t wait to take my CC family along with my friends and family as we live it up on the high seas. 

Yay! Following along!

Are you doing a live?

Don't know. We would never rent the Ocean or Hillside cabanas, but that's just us. Patti did mention that the water looked better than it has in the past. 🤔

Yeah, it looks like there is nothing to do. If I want ugly water I will go my the beaches where I live

Patti has some more ground to cover so off she goes. Here are some views of the other side of the lazy river…..

 

n of loungers around the pool area…..

 

 

 

 

 

This is the children’s Splash Pool…..

 

 

 

This is where the crew from the ship comes to relax…..

 

 

 

This is the bottom of the zip line……

 

 

 

Here is a view looking up to the top of the zip line…..

 

 

 

This is a very quiet area to relax…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From here, this is a view of the Ocean Cabanas…..

 

 

To be continued…..

What is the point of the Ocean Cabanas? Why would someone rent those? That water is particularly pleasant to look at. Maybe its just me?

There are now two bulbs out in here.

 

 

 

 

My husband, who is an electrician, would lose his mind looking at that!

Note to self. Bring sticky notes on next cruise for door slammers

Don't think I didn't notice how everyone had my back. The mods did as well. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I decided to take the high road and not let it escalate any more. Now we can move on. I'll be posting a little later this afternoon. Stay tuned! ❤

Weird question. How tall are you? You look like you were towering over everyone in one of those pics.

That rain must be what we got in Georgia yesterday (Sunday). It was horrible weather here.

Oh man, between this, Jeff & Patti, and Wildra's reviews, I have lots of "studying" to do at work! This is great!

OMG me too! I keep my finger on the mouse so I can click off real quick🤣

Yay!!!

Now that we are on board, here are today’s Fun Times…..

 

 

 

 

Our plan now is to check-in at our muster station (C7), drop off our carry-on bags at our cabin, and then head back to Big Chicken and the Tides Bar. Pat & Jim would do the same and meet us back there. Patti and I have grabbed our lunch…..

 

 

It wasn’t very long before Megan (MeganGC1983), and Brian (Mr. Megan), joined us…..

 

 

Patti is having her very first Cheers drink…..

 

 

Sid (sid_9169) joined us, and soon the first “bar” picture of the cruise was taken. That’s Sid, me, Megan, Jim, & Pat..….

 

 

Jim is keeping track of Patti’s drinks for “Cheers” purposes…..

 

 

Patti heads up to Deck 17 aft to begin her picture tour. The rest of us move over to the Red Frog Tiki Bar to continue our drinking. Here are the Grandeur OTS and the Scarlet Lady…..

 

 

 

To be continued…..

OMG! Mr. Megan!! I don't think I've ever seen him.

The sign on the door leading to the cabins said they would be ready at 2:30. That was late. Our cabin was 10239, and it was on the Lido. I was interested to see how that Lido life hits. We popped in and dropped off W’s bag first, then walked out to eat. There was no line at GBJ at all. I couldn’t believe it. I think peeps were still stuck trying to get into port in that traffic. I got my food quick, dropped a few condiments on the plate, then went to find W. He was easy to find since it wasn’t crowded on the Lido. Unusual.

 

Uh oh, here comes a PSA. It’s not necessary to stand at the toppings station at GBJ squirting that slow moving ketchup into those little tins. There are whole bottles of ketchup and mustard in different stations on the Lido. Just get one and take it to your table. Use as much as you want. Thank me later.

 

When I sat down, W said “There’s a lady trying to sign people up for the Steakhouse tonight. I told her to ask you”. To this I said “👀“. I hadn’t really looked at the new MDR menu yet, and I wanted to do that before committing to the steakhouse. Not 6 seconds after W said that, she popped up at our table. “Hi ma’am your husband said to ask you about reserving the Steakhouse”. Me: “👀” “ Umm. Ok. What times do you have for tonight?”

Her: “Yes tonight you get free wine” “We have all the times.”

Me: “Do you have 8pm?”

Her: “Yes! I will sign you up”.

Still me “👀”. I guess we are going to the Steakhouse tonight.

W totes set me up. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My husband does the same. Bro, like why you throw us under the bus!!

Believe they escorted an individual off the ship for fight and then fighting  the crew.  They had 8 police escort him off.  

I saw the video!

At this point it was after 11 am so we were free to Park Hop over to California Adventure. I reserved Soarin’ Around the World while we waited for Mr. Toad’s Wild Walk. Our ride time was 1:50. We wanted to do Guardians of the Galaxy over there too.

 

We were standing in line for it’s a small world when we heard a Big Crunch. An “ahhhhh”. Then some loud beeping. I looked over and this lady had driven her scooter right into a set of trash cans. Against my better judgment, I laughed, only cuz it was really funny, and no one was harmed in the incident. Oh and the best part was when her family left her. They wanted no parts of that situation, and I don’t blame them one bit. Ma’am maybe scooter life ain’t for you. That scooter is a weapon forming against you that could possibly prosper. Leave it alone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just laughed so loud at the scooter!

Good to know! We'll be back down there in April. Probably a little early I guess. 

Yeah, they just started clearing the land. I think they said by Jan 2025.

Yay! Wildra is back. Glad I asked!!

We checked out of the hotel at 7am and then gassed up the car for the next leg of our journey…..

 

 

 

Once back on I-95 south, it was only a few minutes before we entered Florida…..

 

 

We continue to head south on I-95…..

 

 

As we pass St. Augustine, we see this famous sign…..

 

 

 

Patti insists that we pull in so that she can do a photo essay of the property, just like the one she did of South of the Border last year…..

 

 

 

 

 

We are entering Buc-ee’s……

I live at exit 38. A few exits before Kingsland. They are building a brand new Buc ees at exit 42. Just broke ground Monday. Should be ready for you next year!
