Rare TxTeach79 Posted November 19, 2022 Author #101 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Check in feels more normal than it has since Covid. All the Plat/Dia signs are back. Here’s the Captains Lounge where the Diamonds are…. (July ‘23. Dream. Not that I’m counting.) and I’m in this roped off Platinum area in the main area. Lots of cool funky seating. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted November 19, 2022 Author #102 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Okay, a woman just got the mic and yelled that everyone must be seated in the terminal before we board. No one can be standing. Never heard that one before. Now she’s explaining zones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted November 19, 2022 Author #103 Share Posted November 19, 2022 She’s still going. It’s a very Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off drone. she’s explained where to meet the maitre’d if you have dining requests, how to get a drink without your S&S card, muster stations, and when staterooms are ready. The longer she went, the more the volume of people talking and tuning her out increased. It truly felt like I was right back at work in middle school! 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it better now? At least where I’m sitting it is, as good as any other port anyway. I’m pretty close to this speaker though. that said, once people start talking much, you do have to strain to hear a little bit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they may do that because the ship is larger and more people boarding. Great review so far! When you get on board make sure you go to the Brass Magnolia, It is a great place to people watch and good drinks. Hopefully Jennifer the bartender is still there. She's aweome. And, the Fortune Teller bar had a great musician that played 80's music among other songs. A great backdrop for having a drinks. Can wait to follow along! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Almost abbreviated that BM, caught myself!) I had the good fortune of having Jennifer on the Dream back in the day when she was an Alchemy apprentice and trying to earn the white coat! She’s the best! I figured she’d be over on Celebration by now, but I can hope! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
