I absolutely hate the idea of having to download an app and enter credit card information for what amounts to a few dollars, while also having my info out there on some random app... Depending on the app you could attach it to apple pay or google pay in which case the credit card info doesn’t go in the app. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 25 Author #154 Share Posted May 25 Probably the quickest check in ever. I basically never stopped walking until it was time to set my bags down for the drug sniffing dog. I guess that the A3 boarding group on my boarding pass means nothing, as they gave me a Priority M placard... Either way, it looks like I'll be on board in about 45 minutes or so... 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 25 Author #155 Share Posted May 25 I think I'm going to have to find someone to watch my bag while I go to the restroom... I know people feel weird about that, but it's even weirder for me to bring it in there. Oh, and I think I've decided to finally start working on my book "Traveling OCD"... I've been thinking about it for years, so there's no time like the present. You wouldn't even believe the things going on in my mind when it comes to things I have to endure just to be able to do this. I wouldn't wish this kind of thing on my worst enemy. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 25 Author #156 Share Posted May 25 I just remembered to download the Carnival Hub app again, since I normally uninstall it whenever I debark the cruise. I'm not going to have any sort of Internet plan once I'm on board, but I guess the Hub works without a plan for basic things like checking in for anytime dining... Hopefully my countdown is slightly less than what it's showing. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 25 Author #158 Share Posted May 25 Now they make an announcement saying to board according to the letter and number on your boarding pass. Why even give out the placards with the letters then? Something tells me there's some confusion about to commence. 10 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think just hanging out with my ex all day yesterday kinda drove me up the wall... The coffee incident this morning is completely forgotten, although even the crappiest Motel 6 even offers free basic coffee. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The absolute biggest cluster you know what I've ever seen. Back at the hotel finally, and I'm done for the day... I wish I could have been in bed a half hour ago, but it didn't happen. Anyhoo, I'm ready to get my butt into bed and on the ship tomorrow. That's it for me tonight. Shomer shabbos... Wow, that’s bad even for Miami! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 25 Author #163 Share Posted May 25 And, just like that, I was on a boat! Bags are dropped off at the cabin, money and other valuables in the safe, and now sitting at Jijis for lunch. All I've had today is coffee, yogurt, and water... 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 25 Author #166 Share Posted May 25 Couple of shots of that sexy Miami skyline from on deck here. I'm having to try and re learn my way around, as it's been five years since I've been on a Vista class ship. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 25 Author #168 Share Posted May 25 Hopefully in these next 8 days Carnival can inject some Fun into my life that's been eluding me for awhile now. In a few hours I'll be putting the "review" on pause, and I hope to have a great story to tell upon my return... That's the plan, anyway... 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 25 Author #171 Share Posted May 25 Serenity is completely empty right now, but with school being out I'd imagine it'll be pretty busy up here tho week. Current temperature in Miami: hotter than heck... 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 25 Author #174 Share Posted May 25 I went and did my muster station thing, and now exploring some more. It's almost like my first time on board this ship, but I'm starting to remember the basic layout. After a few times on the newer, larger Excel class ships this thing seems small... 19 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
