Hello Everyone & Happy New Year! We (DW and I) are embarking on another ( much needed) adventure on Explorer of the Seas (again) for an 8 night Southern Caribbean itinerary beginning tomorrow 1/7. We have sailed EX 2 other times. 2020 - as part of a side to side and in 2018 for Alaska (also did a LIVE).
We are departing from Miami and currently residing at the fantastic Hampton Inn Miami Brickell which we have stayed several times before. Always have had a good experience here so we keep returning.
We have an 11 am boarding time and signed up for the 10 am hotel shuttle which is the first available time slot. $8/person
We have traveled from the Pittsburgh area (in case you haven’t deduced that from my username 😂) The 6 am flight was
a bit rough as far as wake up times go but we have since napped and cashed in our hotel free drink vouchers so all is well here!! 🍻
Hey… look at the bright side, our flight left on time and we made it to Miami without a hitch so we are grateful of that. We know traveling can be equally frustrating as rewarding at times.
We have sailed several times during COVID and this is the first where pre cruise testing isn’t required. Thank you baby jesus! lol
Cannot wait to get this thing started!!
Cheers all 🍻
Mark
