The new itinerary for Voyager was just announced (not on sale yet)

 

That sounds really good- we’ll be just off a cruise. If only this could be something they do at least occasionally!

And announce it when the itineraries are initially released instead of a change a year into the booking cycle when most people who can do this length of sailing have already made plans

I have a question for all of our telecommunications experts.  I subscribe to a number of youtube accounts, and get notification when a new video is released, and it appears on my Iphone. This is happening on my phone while I am cruising, no a sea day. My phone is only logged into the local network, no  internet.  I do have Bluetooth turned  on, and is paired with my laptop, in my stateroom and does have internet access.  My question, how is my phone receiving this notification. I am not close to the laptop when it happens.

I would bet the world cruise experience has opened up some possibilities for future cruises involving Africa. The timing was not there for this one.

 I understand Anthem is sailing empty for its part of the relocation.

A lot of notifications from various sources get pushed through.  Things that use less than xxx amount of data slip through.  If I recall from a previous post notifications are sent using a different format and can get through on the ships wifi.

I started thinking of calling uber by 9 am and held out until 10 am so was here 11 to 1130. My flight was changed to 1:45. Delayed 2:11, 2:17, 2:22... no seats left so I'm at the next gate waiting but can see my terminal from here. 

 

I couldn't use  y credit toward early bird, so I counted to 10 and lushed the button to get a boarding line up. A50. 50th person to board so pretty good except we have a ultra full flight I think. The 11:15 flight to hobby cancelled and ours is delayed. 

 

All the wheelchairs for my flights are lined up already, since they can sit in their wheelchairs. Wish I'd beought a empty travel cup with lid. I have a extra large coke I'm sitting here with, dont know if i can carry it on or not. ..Houston bound.

Thankful I don’t cruise for a month.

 

Last night while rushing down the sidewalk to get to the DGS football game and watch the band, I tripped over an uneven sidewalk and ended up in the ER all night.  I had a water bottle in my right hand that I couldn’t let go of quick enough and face planted the right side of my face. Unfortunately I bit entirely through my lip. My left hand took some of the fall and is super sore, hands have abrasions on both sides of them (how did that happen) and skinned my knees. I look like I got in a bar fight. The best news is they can’t see any facial fractures on Ct scan or X-rays and no broken teeth. Also there was a plastic surgeon in the hospital so I got the best repair possible. I won’t be able to chew for a week or so. Maybe I can lose a couple of pounds! 

 

I’ll heal and this is small compared to the suffering in North Carolina, just painful.

Ouch.  Sounds painful just reading this.  Glad to hear that it wasn't worse.  Sorry that you had to miss the game/band. ☹️
