lberney Posted January 22, 2016 #181 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I am really, really enjoying this thread! We sail at the end of May and time is just dragging by! Your reviews and pictures help the time go by faster. :) Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Hudson Posted January 22, 2016 #182 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Thanks for the continued great review, Mark. I loved Key West when I visited last March and I ate lunch at the same Cuban restaurant. Have you been to Truman's "Little White House"? It has a great 50's feel. Have a safe trip home -- hope it is not too wild! Katherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumbaamd Posted January 22, 2016 #183 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Any word from Capt. Trond concerning arrival in Baltimore? If reports are anywhere near accurate, you may slow down a bit to arrive just after the Blizzard. It's too earlier to predict anything accurately, as conditions will be changing by the hour. And the seas will not be kind. Best wishes. Rick and Deirdra Edited January 22, 2016 by Pumbaamd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky616 Posted January 22, 2016 #184 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Loved your Key West pics. We did 2 land trips there and one stop on a cruise. My boys love the cats at the Hemingway House. You got me thinking of planning another land trip there. Great little town. Safe travels home. I live near the MD line and we are forecasted to get 12-16 inches but supposed to be worse down your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JamesEM Posted January 22, 2016 #190 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It was great that you were able to dock downtown, next time your are in Key West I would suggest a visit to the Butterfly Conservatory at the end of Duval Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Radio Posted January 22, 2016 Author #191 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hello everyone. It appears that we are going to Miami. . . for reasons unknown. We picked up the pilot at about 2:30 AM. Hmm. . . I am thinking we may spend the day here? And come home on Monday? Hmmm . . . Maybe RCI is concerned that the 150+ shoreside help will not make it to the Baltimore pier on Monday morning? Details to follow. . . Radio ☺☺ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutLeoOz Posted January 22, 2016 #194 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Radio enjoying your review - also on ship - thinking if it was just an ill passenger we would not have to go all the way into port. The weather is great here in Miami though, isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMKakaThing2 Posted January 22, 2016 #195 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Looks like we're dropping of an ill passenger. Prayers to the passenger and I hope they make a speedy recovery. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
