LIVE * Bliss * 12/31/23-1/7/24 * New Year’s Haven-light Cruise

I wonder if it's something with being on a phone vs regular computer? That's bizarre though - and will get old very quickly. I think you usually get the unlimited wifi, so maybe when you're connected on the ship it will remember you better? Otherwise I sense this will be a short live review...

Very bizarre... Posting this from my phone and no need to prove I'm human. So my theory is out the door. Looks like you'll need to contact someone from the site. 🤷‍♀️

Happy Cruise Day!  It sounds like the human confirmation may pop up when posting photos? 
 

I did not have to confirm I’m human with this post.

On our way! It’s drizzling 😩 Definitely not the conditions @Sailing12Away had to deal with last time she was out here. That was intense!

At the port. 9:05 AM

In the terminal waiting to board. All checked in 9:50

Yes, my first and only time traveling out of LA was a nightmare. @oteixeira had it worse though, he and his wife were standing outside in the rain for 1-2 hours. I was at least still on our transfer bus staring at them warm and dry. 

And despite what the idiots in the FB groups say, no, you cannot 'just show up' whenever you want because you're Haven. We were all Haven and still waiting for several hours in the rain before being allowed inside to the special Haven check-in line.

 

Hopefully you'll be onboard with a cocktail in hand shortly. Pour one out for our friend, and enjoy something slushy for me!

I think Wild Spirits was on the Joy in Fall 2022.  We sailed her a few weeks after @Sailing12Away and Marty did.  Do you remember them @Sailing12Away?    Female lead singer, good lead guitar and bass?  Nice folks.

On board 11:02

We were able to change our dining reservations! Score!! Now having snicky snacks in the observation lounge.

Any sign of the infamous/famous bar mix?

Same thing. 🤣

 

disclaimer: that was a joke.  Actually, I don't no nothin' about that stuff (and I can prove it!).  I just drink what DD orders and am fine with it.  Oddly, I have to order my own bourbons (but generally not at lunch).😎

Slacker. That's always my first of many Manhattans.

How is the Pommery?

 

The bullet casings are one of my favorite pieces of art onboard.

It’s Ok. The good stuff is in my bag. I switched to Silverado cab. Now at Vibe getting ready for an espresso martini. The ship is super crowded. Once cabins open it should open up.
