Embarkation Day

 

Early flight … and now I’m almost there … traffic at the terminal.

Embarkation Day

Wow… this was nothing like the last time I passed through in February… but I am impressed how quickly we were moving… yes they are checking boarding time!!!

If I saw this line at cape liberty I would be scared but in Miami… nah!

Embarkation Day

 

whats the first thing I do when I get onboard?  I connect to the Wi-Fi and start making my reservations!  I am glad to see all shows are back… I am wondering if they moved the shows around in anticipation of rough seas later on in the sailing …

 

the compass is now digital … you have to request a paper copy!

Embarkation Lunch

 

Jamie’s Italian 

 

The place was PACKED!!! They are dealing with people coming in for lunch and people making reservations… not a great mix because people making reservations takes a loooooong time due to availability issues at mostly Chops/Hibachi

Was the digital copy of the compass on the app?

Bon Voyage.  I hope you have a smooth sailing and avoid Fiona

Stateroom

 

Balcony… call me crazy but this is not my first choice …. Interior guy all the way … but this was the only room that I don’t have to move … so I took it…

Room Tour

 

Outside view … the NCL terminal is coming along nicely… I think it’s time to start renovating Cape Liberty!

[BennyBrun]

Everything is more expensive onboard!  So buy it on the cruise planner!!!

Did it all taste as good as it looks? DH and I are boarding Anthem on Friday and I have booked us lunch at Jamie's on embarcation day, for the first time ever.

I went standby last night and I could not stop laughing… those two were the perfect combination for laughter!

The specialty dinning on Symphony is great.  So far I loved everything I had except maybe the desserts.  I also had Jamie’s on Anthem and you know I am honest, I was not crazy about it except the eggplant thing.  But the issue is that they change chef so if they rotate one in that doesn’t interpret the recipe the same way then it will taste different.  You should go in with an open mind and enjoy it and enjoy the cruise!
