I remember this day vividly, and still have scars on my legs from the bug bites... Hopefully you are packing bug spray this time, just in case. 45 minutes ago, dmet0225 said: Two things I can say for certain while reading Sid’s posts are that (1) I have no idea what he’s eating and (2) if I know what it is, I’m certainly not eating it.

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 2, 2022 Author #231 Share Posted December 2, 2022 The cabin I chose for this cruise is an inside (4E) on deck 10… This puts me right in between the action of the upper and lower decks. It’s one of the “sideways” cabins, which I’ve never tried out before, so I thought I’d check it out. On the deck plans it appears larger than the other insides, but maybe that’s just an optical illusion. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 2, 2022 Author #232 Share Posted December 2, 2022 The last piece of the puzzle was to re-purchase my Cheers! Beverage Package at the now higher cost… I was pretty angry when they canceled my original purchase months ago, but there’s nothing I could do about it now. I still have a little bit of a credit with the card I originally bought it with, plus about $200 worth of “points” that I could use against the cost, so I just grit my teeth and added the now almost $500 cost to my shopping cart. There’s no way that I could cruise without it anyway, so I’ll deal with the bill when I get back home… 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 2, 2022 Author #236 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Guess I should have gotten this out of the way earlier... In case you’re a new reader, I’d like to offer a sort of a “disclaimer” before we get too far… I started doing these “reviews” because I thought it’d be a fun way to pass the time while I was on board… It was my hope to convey some useful information, but mostly entertain the reader, as well as myself. Don’t take anything too seriously here, as this is all in good clean fun… I’ll try to keep it between the lines, but don’t be surprised if something “shocks” or “offends” you… Hopefully, by the time this is all over, every single one of you will be either amused, traumatized, or aroused… Hopefully all three!!!... 16 1 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 2, 2022 Author #237 Share Posted December 2, 2022 One more day of work to go until final preparations and heading to Miami!... Tomorrow is free lunch Friday at work, and then it's nothing but laundry and packing for the rest of the evening. Well, that and probably (definitely) some of my famous fresh lime Cadillac margaritas... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanDeeDee Posted December 2, 2022 #239 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I saw your posts on Saint Greg's postings and figured that you were on the next sailing and was hoping you would begin posting. I just found your posts tonight and I have caught up. I will definitely be following along. Have a great cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 2, 2022 Author #240 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I'm gathering some essentials, and checking off my patented packing list... I'm a little behind the curve compared to many, who like to pack a week or more in advance. I can't really bring myself to do it until I'm under pressure... Ear plugs, cologne samples, toothpaste and toothbrush, passport, liquid IV, dental floss and toothpicks, deodorant, chapstick of both the moisturizing and SPF variety, and my little note pad for when I need to remember things. Heading out soon for my FINAL day of work before vacation!!!... 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 2, 2022 Author #244 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Just got an email to confirm my reservation at Freddy's tomorrow, so that's a go... I went ahead and gave myself a haircut this morning to get that out of the way, and in only hours from now I'll be off work and ready to conquer the remainder of my packing. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 2, 2022 Author #250 Share Posted December 2, 2022 As slow as it's been around here lately, the customers have been pounding us all day so far... Typical before heading out for vacation, they want to make sure I get in a good workout... Only hours to go now... On Fridays the company buys us lunch, so we're ordering from a place called Dixie Q, a bbq spot... Pictures incoming... 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
