Yea that guy is asking me things he asked the other day. I keep thinking he’s going to remember once I answer this…nope. He’s a serial talker.

 

[BohJang]

Thanks for another great review Greg.

[Saint Greg]

My next one is in two months on Magic out of Port Canaveral. Not my favorite ship. Not my favorite port. But this cruise was booked two years ago. I booked it for the ports. Actually I was supposed to go this route on Breeze in 2020. Then again in 2021. Both were canceled.

I booked this to replace those. St Kitts and St Maarten will be new ports for me. I believe I have the prepaid highly discounted cheers package on that one as well as a a steak house and cucina at the old prices and 20% off internet from last springs spa sale.  I think i have 700-800 OBC again. 
 

Maria from both of my 2018 Dream cruises and my 2021 Mardi Gras will be on Magic. So that’s cool. My all-time favorite stewart Rafael should still be there. Unfortunately my room is a couple down from his section. I tried to move after New York but his section was booked.

Great and informative review for someone like me who is on the fence for booking these new ships.

Beautiful ship, shows look very interesting, new bars and new drinks is appealing even to a light drinker like me.

The extra free food options still don't appeal to me, the inside rooms look so small and narrow but fine for just sleeping.

I still want to sail a new ship but still not feeling rushed to do it, have 2 or 3 others I will prob sail first and just makes more sense and wait to try Jubilee where I can drive to port.

Safe travels home and thank you again for taking the time to entertain and inform us.

You ever see planes trains and automobiles? I’m like Steve Martin and this guy is John Candy.

 

He’s probably going to be sitting next to me on the plane.

I should be safe. He flys SWA and went on a rant about how much he hates spirit. Reminds me of my boss with ATT.

 

[Saint Greg]

We are making two stops and yah I’m on the second stop. 
 

[Saint Greg]

We are at the first stop 11:40. Most of the bus has emptied out.

Actually the first stop ended up being the only stop. He dropped everyone between terminal 2 and 3. So I had to walk to 4. And one lady was not giving in. She said she paid her money and he’s going to drop her at terminal 1.

 

He did a fabulous parking job.

 

Right now on the left another bus driver is tearing ours a new one for his parking job.

 

Terminal 3 is at that next corner then terminal 4 is at the corner after that.

 

 

this sign is up by terminal 3. 4 min walk after walking to terminal 3.

 

 

this is where my Lyft picked me up when I flew in.

 

 

Made it.

 

 

LGM! Yes I know about deGrom. Now every time I cruise one of my teams loses one of their best players it seems.

 

 

Had to go up an escalator to get to departures. I almost gave the lady by the carnival transfer stand an earful but I didn’t .

 

im going to use the kiosk to print my bag tag and  boarding pass.

I’ve been anxiously awaiting this scale since adding the big book. I need 40 or Under. I was 37.5 on the flight here.

 

 

Yes!

 

 

After bag drop they told me it’s better to enter through terminal 3 for my gate. So im walking back to terminal 3.

 

No real line for security it was a brees. It’s funny no matter what airport I go to I’m going to do something wrong. Every other airport tells

me take my electronics out and put them in a separate container here they say Don’t take anything out! In DFW the guy didn’t like the way a raised my arms in the scanner. In New York I had the belt issue with the lady. It’s always something 

 

 

Through security at 12:23.

I’m gate f4

 

I ate at that Steak ‘n Shake in 2019.

 

I then this is going to be my spot and it’s right by the gate. But let’s walk down and see what else we got. I think I remember another.

 

This would be the other one. I’d only get to see one tv here and theirs aren’t on pregame yet. 
 

 

Back to the other place. I’m not seeing any charging spots in there. I’m going to find a place to charge first. 
 

This will work. I had to move to another because that one did not work. The working ones are lit up in blue.

 

 

I’m an IT guy so I can usually point out these complex problems.

 

 

 

 

 

[Saint Greg]

I guess I could go for a cuban

[Saint Greg]

That market has beer to go so I’m just going to do this setup for now and then hit the bar when my devices are charged and I’m ready to eat.

Hey, Neal Page, I see what you did there.  Was it a Drew Brees?  Anyway, glad you separated from Del Griffith before you talked your ear off or sold you some shower curtain rings.

[Saint Greg]

I knew there was a better part to this airport. By the G gates it’s a different world. Big nice new. Better shops and eateries. I’ve been over here before. I’m at a Cuban restaurant. I’ve been to their walk up window for empanadas before. It must’ve been in 2019.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

I’m at the bar waiting on their “famous” steak sandwich.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

These aren’t bad prices for an airport at their walk up window.
