Yes they do. Onboard at 11:30. Went straight to the hot tub and burned through all 4 Diamond drinks by 2 pm. The doctor did say to keep drinking liquids.

Dan83 Posted December 17, 2023 #187 Share Posted December 17, 2023 This was the first time flying in to PBI for a Port Everglades cruise. It went very smoothly and I won’t hesitate to do it again in the future. Overnighted at a Boynton Beach hotel. I saved enough on a one way ticket alone to more than compensate for the $80 Uber cost. Round trip for a family of 4 equals huge savings over FLL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted December 17, 2023 Author #191 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Lunch on boarding day was at the Solarium Bistro. It is a more relaxed and calmer experience than Windjammer. They had a pretty nice selection of food. I don’t think I ever saw carrot cake prepared this way. But Daryl enjoyed it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted December 17, 2023 Author #192 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Our cabin opened up at 1:00, so we went to drop off my backpack. We are in an ocean view balcony (2D) Some cabin pics. Daryl is bouncing around to get in the photos. They do have lots of storage space in these closets, although I need to work to fit my iPad in the safe. The shower tube looks a little larger. And the view aft from our balcony. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted December 17, 2023 Author #193 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Our luggage was delivered, and we had everything put away by 2:00. I kept checking my AirTags, and it said one was with me, but it showed one in the parking lot. That is when I realized I had moved one of them to a small carry on we were leaving behind in the car. When I checked the weather app, it looked like Florida disappeared in a sea of green 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, my first drink was water with my lunch, and the second was a latte from the Crown Lounge I guess they have both signs up, so people don’t get too confused. No letter restricting access to the lounge this sailing. Given the number of families with kids, I think there are a lot of new cruisers. We always bring a bottle of Carmel along to add to our lattes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted December 17, 2023 Author #195 Share Posted December 17, 2023 It was nice to see that our OBC posted right away. In the past, it would take a couple days to show up on the account. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted December 17, 2023 Author #196 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Finally, I was able to stop at the Copper &Kettle for my first voucher drink. A Boston Iced Tea Party It wasn’t too bad, and wasn’t watered down like some in the past. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted December 17, 2023 Author #197 Share Posted December 17, 2023 We have early, traditional dining, so we were in the dining room at sail away. We felt a little motion, but it was not bad. I expected much worse with the wind, waves and rain. I have read those horror stories about the food in the MDR, but I have no complaints from our first night. I had my go to choices of Escargot Prime Rib And cheesecake No complaints, but Susan had the chocolate custard, which she said was rubbery. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Daryl would do a fine job of watching over your day bed. He'd make a good watch dog...watch llama? What exactly is Darly anyway, other than a photo hog? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djacksonterp Posted December 17, 2023 #200 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Maybe a safety leash might be needed for Daryl when in the upper decks? I would hate to hear a story about you guys learning that Daryl likes to fly and left to find a new home in the ocean. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
