Last I checked Firenze was down in the area of Cabo (offshore) today. Don't think Firenze will tie up till the 23rd due to other traffic. Think first sailing not till 25th.

 

Tomorrow is Miracle and Monday is Radiance.

I noticed that. At least it was a minor delay. I'll have to see if I can find out the real reason. People were getting antsy, talking about cluster-f**ks (several different people used the same term) over a 50 minutes boarding delay.

They were probably worried all the funfetti cake would be gone. People bit_h about the tiniest little things anymore. I would rather just chill. I've been in some monster waits over my 68 years and I've survived just fine. Still smiling and still loving life.

Wow. Those people need to switch to decaf. Probably headed to guest services to get a freebie once on board.

 

Have a great cruise.

OK resolved getting my Guys now. Rumor Issue was changing out gangway for tomorrow's Firenze cruise.


Are you doing a live this cruise?  Is it an Elite?

It's not an Elite cruise

 I'll give some thoughts about the cruise later on but not feeling into doing a day by day with lots of pics. 

What I'll say right now it seems like a full ship. I think in many parts of the country it's public school spring break next week and since this was a Saturday to Saturday cruise it's perfect for families with kids,which the ship is jam packed with. At sea day brunch today we saw a group of 30!!! Family members all traveling together. There's kids of every age on the ship

You guys are getting closer to the Firenze. Might actually get to do a close in pass by unless it happens at night.

I'll be on the lookout.

School districts have Spring Break this late when Easter has already passed?

 

There are lots of school districts that only have a few weeks of school left in the Spring semester.

Right now, if the tracks don't change, Firenze would pass by on your starboard side. But you are still a couple of hundred nautical miles apart. Closing speed currently about 39 kn (19 & 20 knots respectively).

Areas with large Jewish populations will have next week off since Passover is next week (Passover and Easter are wide apart this year). Having said that I've sailed during Easter week(not purposely) and this cruise is as full with families with kids as an Easter week cruise or a Christmas week cruise (many times purposely for a family Christmas onboard). There's no other explanation unless a whole ship full of families are pulling kids out of school for a one week cruise vacation when Easter was 3 weeks earlier.

Edit: Maybe a whole ship of families are pulling kids on random weeks for a week long vacation 🤷

We were on her the beginning of March and got lucky landing between two busy sailings.  We were still full up but few kids and a very calm sailing.
