This may be a strange request but if you get a chance stop in the Casino and say Hi to Casino Host Chris.  He won't know me but I've been following his blogs from the beginning.  I'm more into Crystal and HAL but my favorite RCI ships are the Vision and Radiance classes.

I also have been following Chris's vlog. He is from the same area of England where I grew up. Did see him last night and we had a nice conversation, will let him know you're following.

I mostly cruise Royal at the moment as the ports are convenient. My husband has several medical issues and is essentially confined to a mobility scooter after not so successful back surgeries. I retired late 2019 and had planned  3 cruises on HAL with great itineraries from Port Everglades. The SA circumnavigation is hopefully in our future. Looking forward to seeing more BHB in So Flo soon.

In Cozumel today and Senor Frogs is open, but not crazy busy 🍹🍻

Hello everyone,

Spending the day at Cozumel. There are 3 other ships here, but it is really quiet in town. I am enjoying the cruise and feel comfortable with the new guidelines. The entertainment has been amazing, last night there was new show and the level of music and dancing was probably the best I've ever seen on a cruise ship. 

Thanks @rafinmd for including me in the celebration list , it's working I'm enjoying myself.

@TiogaCruiser

I'm on Odyssey of the Seas. It's RCL newest ship only been sailing 2 months. Leaves from Port Everglades which is a 20 minute drive from home. No flights needed.

Good morning everyone, will arrive at Costa Maya this morning. I am really enjoying the cruise sailing on the open ocean is so restorative. The passenger count is approximately 40% and the Covid guidelines are being enforced. Staff are really happy to be back at work.i am enjoying the solarium, picture of my favorite chairs directly at the bow with a great view.

We loved the over water cabanas. Amazing service and swam in and out all day with some barracudas and lemon sharks

Great shot, saw it forming yesterday from our balcony but it moved west before we could get a picture.

Thanks  for the picture, looking  forward to a week at sea. And the western tropics look quiet at the moment  so good weather  is  forecast.

I've also printed a hard copy, just in case. We're obviously not millennials!!!

Wasn't expecting this

 

We used to get these when we tested twice a week to visit Laura's brother in an Ocala nursing home.

just got this also from the Abbot Bimax test I did yesterday. MSC result also there from August cruise.

I was able to book dining for my cruise on Sunday, but only on the website not the app. It does show up on the app on my calendar though. Entertainment can only be booked when connected to ship's Wi-Fi.

Glad you both are negative. I haven’t started packing yet. 😕

 

 

Truth to be told I haven't either, DH has but I usually wait until last day to pack.  If i start too soon I seem to keep adding things I really don't need.😀

We have been to Grenade twice on cruises. The first time we took a ships tour to a spice factory and cigar making facility. Both were informative and I got to roll my own cigar.

The second time we got a driver at the port and went on a tour of the island. It is amazingly mountainous and very lush and green. Would love to visit again.

Good morning everyone. 

I was woken up at 5am by a thunderstorm. This is sunrise photo from this morning. Hope the weather is better tomorrow for sail away. According to the weather forecast it should be nice.

Looking forward to your review, I am on the Odyssey but will try to keep up. Hopefully Laura will get to see Mama Mia. It's a great show.

So excited to see a Radio Live! I will be sailing on Odyssey Sunday but will definitely follow. Your 2nd week  Live will help with my cruise withdrawal.

Have a great cruise and make sure you have time to "watch the news"

Good  morning  everyone . We just  finished  doing  our proctored  Binax covid  tests  and we  are negative . Testing  was easy  with  minimal  waiting ,although  my husband  did have trouble  with the accents . I was able  to  help  him though. 

We are going  on Odyssey  of  the  Seas on Sunday , a new ship for us. Leaving  from Port Everglades  so only  a 20 minutes  drive. Really  looking  forward  to  some days  at sea.

Mary  

Today  is  a  good  day, we  just finished  our Binax Abbott  proctored  covid  tests and are negative . Now can start  packing  for Odyssey  on Sunday  🚢🍸

Test   was easy  very minimal  waiting . Husband  had some difficulty  with accents  but they  allowed  me  to  help  him.

Looking  forward  to  seeing  a new ship.

I'm  sailing  from Fort  Lauderdale  in November  and don't  see anywhere  on the app to add vaccine  status yet.

My memories today was of three cruises!! I'm sailing on Odyssey of the Seas on Sunday (if covid test result OK tomorrow). then I have 5 more cruises booked through February. Feeling hopeful🚢

2019 Canada / New England / Canada/ Fort Lauderdale. Great cruise

@richwmn Thank you for including port of the day in The Daily. I don't always post pictures but if I have visited the area I do look at my photos. It is a good reminder that despite not being able to do my planned post retirement travel, I have been fortunate in being able to visit so many places in the world so far.

Hopefully we all will be able to travel to our bucket list destinations soon🚢

We spent 4 weeks in Hawaii in 2008. Flew from Island to Island. On the Big Island I had a great hike over the  lava fields, it was really interesting seeing how the lava had flowed. My husband is always on the lookout for "danger" and I have a collection of photos of warning signs from our travels! Me, I'm just looking for adventures. 

Sid, reading  this preview brings back so many  memories  of  last year  and how much our lives were changed  by circumstances  outside  of  our  control . But we survived and cruising  has restarted  and next week  we will both be sailing, although  on different  ships.

I thank  you  for your posts  during  this time, even though  I  didn't  always  post I read and appreciated  them.

Hope  you have a great  cruise, I  am just a little  jealous of your  upcoming  week. 

Mary  

I've  got the 48 hours on a 3 night cruise  so I  think cruise length  doesn't  matter.

Sunrise in Hollywood Soflo this morning. Touch of Fall in the air only 74F and low humidity.

Good morning everyone. Enjoying my morning coffee on the balcony and sunrise was amazing. The humidity has dropped due to a "cold" front that moved through a couple of days ago. Temperature now is 74F in Soflo. I'm enjoying Fall!!
