Random sail away pics

Yep New menu in Schooner confirmed ✅

These container ships always amaze me to see in person. DW commented those are all her amazon packages that will be arriving while were away.

Thanks Ken. You know who you are

Definitely check out sailings from Bayonne. Happy sailing to Bermuda. Wish I was going on it too. So far we have tended to sail from NJ over Baltimore mostly for the ship size but not opposed to it. Need to find the right time/intinerary.

Thx for following along. … Here’s to happy sailing! Cheers! 🍻

Ugh … Well, if I MUST!, I’ll go to Schooner and see 🤣🤣 Real inconvenience lol 😂 I’ll report back soon.

Anthem was the ship we sailed from last time from Bayonne pre Covid. Liked Anthem a lot.

Awesome - I’ll keep her in good shape for you! I am growing more and more frustrated with flying especially with connections. We had a horrendous experience with Air Canada coming home from Alaska in June. With that said, our next up in S. Caribbean from San Juan. Sooo much for not flying lol I do see more sailings from Bayonne and Baltimore in our future though. Especially with costs on the rise.

surprisingly i receive the unsuccessful royal up notification email YESTERDAY. Over 24 hrs in advance of boarding. All others have been received AFTER boarding.

New Intinerary

Alright ladies and gents !! Let’s get this 5 nighter started on Liberty of the Seas! So the intinerary was intended to be a 5 nt Bermuda sailing however Hurricane Idalia had a different plan for us. We are now heading north to Portland ME and Halifax Nova Scotia. We love Bermuda but we have no issue with the change. Wasn’t particularly looking forward to sailing through a hurricane anyway. Royal was kind enough to provide $100 pp OBC for the change. It’s just DW and I sailing. We had intended to go with my parents but their planned had changed and we are now rolling solo. We booked a JS GTY a little while back. This will be the first cruise in a long time that we don’t have the unlimited dining or at least a 3 nt package so we will be MDR’ing it or … god help me… The Jammer. 😳 At least we have drink packages 😃 We made our way from Pittsburgh PA to Allentown PA last night after logging off work for the LONG Labor Day weekend (Hallelujah!) Stayed at the Renaissance in downtown Allentown which was a very nice room. That was around a 4.5 hr drive that felt like 10. Crazy traffic and construction what felt like the whole way. 🤬🤬 This morning we checked out around 8am and headed toward Bayonne. Drive wasn’t as bad and took just under 1.5 hrs from the hotel to the parking garage. Our boarding time was 11:30. We showed up at the suites check in line at 11 and was on the ship in under 10 minutes. The Cape Liberty parking garage was for Handicapped parking & we were directed to the open air lot. $150 for the 5 day cruise. Luggage drop was very smooth with almost no wait at all. Much much less congestion compared to the busy FL ports. Liberty is an entirely new class of ship for us. Not sure how we managed to never be on a Freedom class up to this point but we did it. Excited for a new itinerary to us and a new ship. Also I must note …VERY VERY excited to NOT fly to port. Especially after our last adventure to Alaska (Southbound on Radiance) that was a ton of flying for us. Welcomed change. Already checked off the Colonel Mustard station and in need of a cold beverage. Cheers 🍻 Mark

Boarding Liberty tomorrow. App shows these…

Our Bermuda cruise on Saturday got changed due to the Hurricane. We are now going to Portland Maine and Halifax Nova Scotia. Those are both new ports for us so any recommendations are welcome. We are totally good with it. Cheers 🍻 Mark

Then eventually down to San Juan to pick us up in January 😃😉

We were beating Tai Pei for 7 innings and they hit a walk off HR to straight center to win it in the bottom half. Heartbreaker for sure.

LLWS is one of my favorite things. Our team was lucky enough to make it all the way to the Pony League World Series in Washington PA in the mid 90s. We played Chinese Tai Lei, Bayoman PR, and teams from MD and GA. Amazing experience.
