Rare sid_9169 Posted September 29, 2018 Author #51 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Items are all laid out for packing... Envelopes full of cash, including a couple thousand pesos for my adventure in Cozumel. Cologne samples, so I can smell good at all times. ***Note: I am quite the collector of unique fragrances. Continuing on, ear plugs, ink pens, credit cards, ID and passport. My new Google pixel II XL (for use on the ship only. My trusty old Droid turbo I be used in port. I can't afford to mess up or lose an $800 phone) My various essentials, deodorant, sun block, a couple of different hangover prevention devices. Handy wipes in bulk and portable form. Sunglasses, phone chargers, under eye gel ( yes, I'm trying to fight off old age and wrinkles) And, last but not least, the item on the chain in the center. If you read my last review, you already know what this is. If not, you'll just have to keep following to find out... Sent from my Space Phone 9169...

Rare sid_9169 Posted September 29, 2018 Author #52 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Forward progress continues... My pantent pending method of wrapping shirts so as not to wrinkle is as follows... Cut open a large garage bag and lay it out flat. Stack shirts one on top of the other, thusly... Next, fold the bottom up, then the sleeves over towards the center from both sides... Finally, fold the plastic bag around and tape shut... Viola... Now your shirts will survive travel with minimal wrinklage... Sent from my Space Phone 9169...

Love-to-ride Posted September 29, 2018 #53 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Following along, we're sailing with you and spend most nights indulging at the Alchemy bar. We booked over 500 days ago and finally it's cruise time. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted September 29, 2018 #54 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I've switched back to beer now... The packing list is being checked off, and pre packing staging has commenced...

Why?Yes, the foil is kinda intrusive... I just wrap my fingers around it and squish it flat before consumption... Sent from my Space Phone 9169...

Rare sid_9169 Posted September 29, 2018 Author #58 Share Posted September 29, 2018 The majority of packing is complete. An Uber is arranged for 9:45 tomorrow morning. Boarding passes are printed. All I hope now is that I can get some sleep. Pre cruise night is like Christmas Eve for a little kid for me... This time tomorrow night I'll be drunk in Miami and getting ready for bed in anticipation of sailing on Sunday!... Sent from my Space Phone 9169...

Rare sid_9169 Posted September 29, 2018 Author #61 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Final packing underway. Coffee is drunk, and I'm about to get in the shower...

After your Bliss cruise check out the Oasis, Allure, Harmony or Symphony. Those are some fun ships for cruising solo. I’ve solo cruised and semi solo cruised on them a few times. Just got off a solo on Harmony a few weeks ago. Solo cruises are the best, more people need to try it. Uber will be there before you know it.

Rare sid_9169 Posted September 29, 2018 Author #75 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Restroom break accomplished, and I've exchanged my Marta breeze card for my Easy card for use on Miami's Metro Rail. I guess I need to hydrate for my afternoon of heavy drinking, so I'm going to have to buy an absurdly over priced bottle of water. I wonder what they put in that stuff that makes it so valuable?
