Rare h20skibum Posted August 5 Author #227 Share Posted August 5 This sailing was remarkably smooth, and no one had issues with sea sickness. Our grandkids loved cruising, and they are already talking about going again, but for a longer time. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#55worktoplay Posted August 5 #228 Share Posted August 5 Thanks for your great review. That sure did fly by quick. Is that it for vacation all together or are you staying on in Florida to extend the vacation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are staying on in Florida for a week, so this report will stay live for a while longer. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted August 5 Author #230 Share Posted August 5 It appears we have arrived. The tugs are pushing us to the pier. Florida appears to be a mess, but it is calm and not raining at the moment. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted August 5 #231 Share Posted August 5 Wow, I didn't realize the cruise was ending today. I wonder why they used tugs to dock today? Is it windy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bead Pirate Posted August 5 #232 Share Posted August 5 Watched the docking on the camera this morning. The wind is blowing against the ship as they tried to "push" it just using the thrusters, It was a stalemate, ship would not move into place. Tugs came over and helped push her in that last 10 yards or so. She was tied off shortly after 6 AM 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted August 5 Author #237 Share Posted August 5 When we were in Myrtle Beach a couple weeks ago, I watched a guy pick up a cigarette butt and light it. Maybe the five second rule doesn’t apply there. Wondering if there is a five second rule in Florida for this that I found in the hallway. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted August 5 Author #242 Share Posted August 5 We took our time and walked off the ship. The one time we use the elevator is to get our luggage from deck 6 to deck 5. We used to have to do the go up to go down, but with the new elevators you can’t do that. The first one to show up was packed, so we had to call for another. That one had room. Since we had waited till after 8:30, there wasn’t much of a wait in the birth certificate line. We were off, and in our ride by 9. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted August 5 Author #243 Share Posted August 5 We are off to see the Mouse. We parted ways with our daughter and her family. They are going to the beach for the week, and we are taking our California grandson to the Disney parks. They got an Uber to their VRBO, and we got one for our destination. It was only about a four minute wait for each of us. I will be curious to see if any of my Disney planning pays off, or if I will simply ditch those plans and wing it. Who knows what effect hurricane Debby will have on plans. Could be an adventure. We booked our week at Disney Parks at the end of January. I mean, it would be crazy to fly to Florida for just a 3 day cruise. Our home for the Disney week will be at the Wilderness Lodge. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a new venue, we usually didn’t have a problem finding seats. Were the drinks better than your first night with their Zombie? Wow that cruise went by way too fast. Thanks for taking us along and doing a great job as usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Debbie is out of your way by tomorrow and leaves some slightly cooler temps in her wake. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for taking us along and doing a great job as usual. I tried a painchiller and a taste of the tropics. Wasn’t overly impressed with either, but they were better tasting than the zombie. The kids had NA drinks of strawberry, mango, and I forget the other, but only the strawberry was any good to them. Yeah, 3 days are not enough. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ship collects and then holds onto the kids birth certificates until the cruise is over? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
