We are planning on taking the water taxi when we are down in FLL in a few weeks for symphony cruise. How long is the round trip?  

We are also planning on eating at the Boatyard.  Can't wait to see how you liked it.

7:30 - Sitting in the Alaska Lounge at SeaTac with a half hour before boarding.  The first “should I or shouldn’t I?” of the trip 🤣

 

 

In this context, there is no "Shouldn't I" on a trip. The correct answer is "Should I".  Always.

We are still on it’s been over an hour. We started at stop 1 we are at stop 9 now. Great to see the amazing houses and yachts.

We are eating tonight at the Boathouse. I think Deb and Andy are eating at the Boatyard. I’ve heard great things about both.

Everyone is correct!  Love this about Alaska. This actually isn’t bad at all for an Old Fashioned in a can.  It’s actually after noon in FLL and I’m not drinking alone so it’s all good.

We loved the Boatyard and the Renaissance Hotel too. Todd's was Black Label, he never stears from Johnny I of course had a delish Mojito!

Enjoy!

Wow, so thankful I saw this.  We are booked to cruise out of Seattle in June.   After seeing your direct flight I found a direct flight out of st Louis taking 4.5 hours on Alaska airlines!

[BecciBoo]

Dog!!!  You are already having toooo much fun...yeeha!

We used go to to STL a couple times every year when our daughter was going to school in Carbondale.  I really love Alaska from Seattle even more now that they go most places direct.  May not be the most convenient times (e.g. flights from FLL after our cruise next Saturday are at 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM), but I’ll take later direct flights over layovers whenever I can.

Fort Lauderdale Boat Show Set Up.

 

 

Here is a video in real time (no music) of boats arriving for the FLL Boat Show. Over 100,000 people will attend the largest boat show.

Growing up, we always had a boat.  Many summers spent on Hood Canal and in the San Juan Islands. My dad used to take my brother and I to the Seattle Boat Show every year…good memories.

Will be interested to see if you get the dreaded “No D’s in the Crown lounge for HH” letter.   I see they had that for the Jewel sailing today.

Pretty sure they will just means use your Diamond 4 drink coupons at any bar on the ship during the day/night anytime you want. Not a biggie. Can get a little stuffy in those lounges.😉

I have not gotten that email so I will assume that we are good. Stay tuned.

I'm so happy to hear this.  We will be staying at the Renaissance hotel for the first time.  So happy you loved it.  Plan to go to Boatyard for dinner since it is in walking distance.

I believe it might be a letter in the cabin,not an email to you.

I completely forgot that I saw your name on the Roll-Call sheet. I see only one cabin listed for you. Are you solo this trip?

I do know this is a full sailing so I wouldn’t be surprised if I get one. I just hope not. Bottom line if I go at 4:30pm will they kick me out at 5pm?  I doubt it.

It wasn’t an email.  It was a letter in their cabin.  They sailed today. Fingers crossed it won’t be done on your sailing.
