Trying to get this to 100 pages before midnight.

Oh yes, those cinnamon rolls are delicious! So sorry about your knee! Glad it didn’t happen at the start of the cruise. @Sea Dog great picture of you and Linda. Definitely frame worthy. We lucked out and snagged two lounge chairs inside the Solarium as we were returning from lunch. Just a nice breeze here instead of gale force winds. Bonus - a small side table for my post lunch mojito. Im laying here trying not to think about packing 😢

@dani negreanu I haven’t been keeping up here while on the Bella cruise, but I couldn’t let the day go by without wishing you a Happy Birthday!

I meant to add, our room steward has been fantastic. We were given the option of am or pm service and chose am. As requested, he drops off a paper Compass each evening and we noticed he also does a little refresh - turn down and clean towels. We saw him in the hallway and mentioned how much we appreciate this and he just nodded, smiled and put his finger to his lips as if to say “shhhh”.

It’s been tough to keep up here. Yesterday was our first visit to Nachi Cocum in Cozumel. It was a nice relaxing day but we kind of prefer Paradise Beach. Today was another first, Maya Key which was another relaxing day, we dodged a few showers and saw quite a few Bella cruisers there. We haven’t had great luck in the MDR, kinda given up on it. Last night was Solarium Bistro, SO much quieter and more relaxing. They don’t have a big menu, I ended up ordering the up charge filet mignon (which strangely is less $ than ordering it the MDR). I was also told the up charge meal came with a complimentary glass of champagne, it was a really nice meal and the champagne didn’t taste like the cheap stuff. Tonight we are going back to Portside BBQ, it was so good for lunch the other day. I also want to thank John @John&LaLa, Sue @Lionesss and Ken @Ourusualbeach for all their efforts and contributions in making this such a fun cruise for the group. Look forward to seeing folks at the DL tasting part 2, then on to Slippery When Wet show and maybe Schooner if I can hang in there that long. Jamie’s tomorrow in Costa Maya. Pics from Solarium dinner.

I’m 2 for 2. The week we cruised with our friends on NCL at the end of January was that awful cold spell in RI.

C’mon, expand your horizons! Plenty of flights from PVD to MCO.

All the teenagers must still be sleeping, I can finally post. I crashed early last night but Andy hit the casino and had some luck at the table games. Yesterday was fun, met lots if fellow FOB cruisers and hope to meet and chat with more.

Happy Birthday to Pauline!

@Sea Dog we just missed each other. We arrived around 6:40 and were seated in the outdoor rooftop area shortly after. It was an excellent meal for us too. All tucked in and ready for tomorrow. Anyone else feel it’s a bit surreal that it’s finally here after all these months of talking about it?? See you in the morning!

Boy South Florida traffic truly stinks. It took us 6 1/2 hours to get here from Disney, should’ve been about 3 1/2. The worst was from Palm Beach area to Miami. But we’re checked in at the Hampton Inn Miami Brickell. I was pretty worried after what happened to @Sea Dogbut no issues. I’m still going to be mad at them for Greg though 🤣. Getting changed and off to Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita for a cocktail then dinner.

Maryann, I’m posting here because I don’t know if you’ve been on the new Bella cruise thread yet. What time did you arrive to park last week and we’re there plenty of spots available?

Ugh. Time for a drink.

Oh no Greg, that’s terrible. Hampton certainly should assist you somehow considering the confirmation emails you have.

I lived in Warwick from 1973 until 2017, now in Coventry.

We may be getting there as you & Linda leave. Our reservation is for 7:15.

I will add my wishes for better days ahead for you & your family. You all remain in my thoughts & prayers.

Curious to hear your thoughts on M’ville. We love it there.

She’s sure giving you a look.

Yes, we’re at Old Key West.

Also, keep your eye out for a new member who’ll probably start posting tonight 😉.

We drove down to FL from RI last weekend and have spent the week at Walt Disney World. Driving to Miami Saturday morning. So I think we’re the first out of staters to arrive in FL, but not in the Miami area. It looks like that’ll be the @A&L_Ont family who are flying down tonight.

What a great start! I’m here for it - literally. Safe travels to all and see you Sunday!

That was one of my suggestions. Or MrMomoc 3gurlz. I forgot what I had John put in his nametag. So sorry for your loss Andrew. I hope he was able to make the most if the time he had.

Andy just informed me he needs to set up a Cruise Critic account before the Bella cruise on Sunday 😬!
