havanadaydreaming Posted December 16, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 16, 2023 All abooooooooooard? Our embarkation time is 11am and for once i might board on time-ish. Threatening weather in Miami today. Last i heard was 2-4" rain, 30-40mph wind gusts and 9' seas. Giddyup! We are rollin with a party of 6 (3 cabins) and my son's pal missed college grad ceremony to sail. His first cruise! Hes a nice young fella. They are football fanatics and plan to catch 2 of the nfl tripleheader games today. More details to follow. I hadnt planned on getting wifi but i have some xmas shopping to do and a partial ebay refund to process as seller. Its none too easy on the app...dangit. Fins up!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanadaydreaming Posted December 17, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Just played Mobile Trivia in the theater. 35 folks signed up off the mobile app with a specific browser address. Automatically scored and ranked players. Hope this is the way of the future. Good times! (I was 6th...missed a Kpop question) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanadaydreaming Posted December 19, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Day 4 - 6th consecutive rainy day of vaca. Margaritaville Grand Turk - gift shop very depleted. Id say carrying 25% of usual items. Bar challenged as well - no drink servers at pool lounge chairs like normal. And after walking to bar near gift shop only drink upsell was pilsner glass...which isnt allowed near pool. (The out of stock bigger plastic souvenir glasses have muuuuuch better cost per oz on refills). Only heard one Jimmy Buffett song the 3+ hours we were there. For lack of a better word, that sucked. Suffice it to say i think the GT cafe just fell from my Worlds Best Margaritaville slot. Nice pasta lunch mid afternoon at Captains Cucina. Thumbs way up. 👍 Time for a chill pill before heading out to Alchemy and live entertainment. The Mrs, who had no drinks, is exhausted from shivering in cold rain earlier today. Napping it off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
