Good night. When is your next trip for us to follow?

Tentatively September 16 on Celebrity Reflection. If not then a Halloween cruise is in the works most likely on Carnival, they really do great job with Halloween.

Lining up at 648.

Nice sunrise this morning

I missed it. Only time I will catch a sunrise but that's ok at least I caught a sunset.

Fingers crossed 😀

Based on your experience getting off of the ship, I hope the timing works for us.  Our flight is at 10:10am.  American changed it from 10:30am - after we booked.  The time was already out of our comfort zone, but it was then, or wait until an afternoon flight.  Since our daughter and children have to go back to school the next day, they wanted to get back home earlier.  DH and I would have waited for the afternoon flight.

 

Hope you have a safe travel home!

[jam19872016]

And just like that I'm back home and getting ready to go earn some money to do it all again.

 

Not sure my schedule but I will post my final thoughts in the next couple days.

Scary! But at least the airport is close.

 

Enjoy your cruise and thank you for reminding me how lucky I am to drive to Port 😀

But a lot of that will go, without any particular effort, just by reverting to normal eating and drinking.

That has been the case before, but I admit I'm a bit nervous as I've had trouble getting it off since dropping this low. It would be terrible if I don't make up the lost ground in a timely fashion. 

 

I've started my fasting already. Did not do breakfast or my delicious coffee one last time.

How far do you live from PE?

[jam19872016]

About 1.5 hours in light traffic.

Jealous of this! We have to fly for each of our cruises. And just about always have a layover.

Yes but think how many more cruises you would try to squeeze in if it wasn't so much hassle

Don't sweat it, just self-disembark and you'll be fine.  I've been through security and sitting at my gate at FLL around 8:00 many times.

You must live in Jupiter.  Did yow see FHP doing speed enforcement north of PGA this morning. Their plane was in the air for quite a while. I live just south of PGA and it is one hour from my door to walking on the ship.

I am considering Mardi Gras for Halloween. How does Carnival differ from Royal for Halloween?

Those little tarts are good enough to be in the al bacon case. Most of that plate was good which is really saying something when you consider how much I'd already eaten.

Glad you found something al bacon worthy! I'll search for them on our cruise.

 

Look forward to your live review on Reflection. If I can't be on board, having you there is the next best thing!

 

Thanks for another great review! I enjoyed sailing along. I'll continue to pray for your mom. Hope all goes well with her appointment and possible surgery. Take care!

@jam19872016 Thank you for the great live review!  We're on Freedom in December and your thread has been fantastic.
