I can officially report royal has NOT won today on the drink package front. Sorry NOT Sorry haha

Yah buddy let’s roll!

We have usually opted for the Batch Gastropub terrace seating but i have heard good things of the oriental restaurant nextdoor. The drink vouchers may be a hilton honors perk (?) not sure on that. It’s a free draft beer or house wine for each guest at the hotel lobby bar. I’m not a wine person and the 2 draft option were bud light or goose island IPA - went with 2 IPAs. We’ve had that each time time presented to us at check in. There are little cards they give you at the check in desk. It was our pleasure to take down the Ravens 😂 You’re welcome 🍻 Hopefully we can keep it up and take down the Browns as well 🤞🏻🍀 coincidentally i was seated next to a couple from OH going on a carnival cruise in the shuttle to the port. When they asked me where I was from and replied Pittsburgh. They obviously had to respond .. i’m sorry to hear that. Rivalry is real!!!! LOL Actually very nice couple and we had a very good chat.

The winnings…

Chops dinner was great as usual Fantastic filet made it to 80s name that tune trivia and won in a tie breaker. We’ve always been competitive but never won. woo hoo …small things 🥇

Thank you - i fully believe i’m winning right now Titos is flowing freely cheers

Old Fashioned- crown & kettle pub

I’m on speaking terms with excel but we aren’t friends haha pkg was in the neighborhood of $72/day. black friday purchase

I considered attempting to keep score on the drink package like you did in one if your reviews …too much math though

Rooms were ready on time about 1pm. all unpacked and ready to wear out my drink pack 😂 All UDP lunches and dinners are scheduled and ready to go too ✅

they’ve been free and included every time i’ve been to barefoot. thx for the tip on walking 50 ft

you’ll be going back 😜

Finally- suite check in was blazing fast.

Hello there Symphony! and Bliss too

Explorer is last shuttle stop … oh the pain and suffering… 😣

No shuttle from airport but the rail system is doable and free right from the airport and drops about a block away from Hampton Inn Brickell. we rented a car this time but have done the rail in the past. Didn’t like dragging luggage on the sidewalk for a block though. shuttle sign up to port is at the concierge desk on the first floor. 10, 11, 12 and 1 times available

Traffic jam 😩

Closer…

Nice!! We’ve still got a shot at the playoffs! 🤨🤨
