ZoeyVictoria Posted October 7, 2021 #26 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I was on the Brilliance with my sister in February 2019, when the ship was delayed 10 hours because of fog. The Captain was very good about providing frequent updates. At one point, in his heavy accent, he said, “It iss what it iss!” And that is the way I pronounce it to this day. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted October 8, 2021 Author #27 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) So after a couple enjoyable liquid appetizers, we had steak hoagies. Then very happy that the rain stopped so we leisurely stumbled back to our hotel. Very happy we got some steps in. ( the hotel was across the street). I bet we hit 900 steps today. Well below our 10,000 steps a day. Tomorrow will be an early day. Alarms (4) set for 3:01 3:02 3:03 3:04. So that means we will get up at 3:15 I did accomplish something today. ( see below). Good night Edited October 8, 2021 by Lionesss 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted October 8, 2021 Author #30 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Arrived in Atlanta. I forgot when flying in from the north you fly over the airport and do a 150 degree turn. ( at least that’s what our pilot did ). Breakfast at Friday’s. Taking our time eating 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted October 8, 2021 Author #32 Share Posted October 8, 2021 It is so unusual to see half empty corridors in airport. Must be because it’s a weekday. So if you have ever been here it is BIG. We landed in concourse B gate 30, and after breakfast walked to concourse E gate 30. Walked 3,425 1.2 miles. I survived. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaCat3 Posted October 8, 2021 #36 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I hope all is well. It's better to have smoke from the engine before you leave the gate than later... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted October 8, 2021 Author #38 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Ok. Cleared for takeoff. But Due to weather conditions in Florida we are under a one hour delay on the runway. I am so glad I wore a sweater and tank top on plane in case it got cold. 😳 Better safe than sorry. IT IS WHAT IT IS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted October 8, 2021 Author #50 Share Posted October 8, 2021 So. We did not go back to terminal. Landed about 4:10 Bad turbulence. Some of the flight attendants compartments flung open in galley. First class got fed. They asked us what we wanted. Um. Potatoe chip bag. Or granola bar. Then a flight attendant reheated her lasagna. Smelled really good Driver was waiting at baggage claim. And off to Miami. It is what it is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
