Day 4 - 6th consecutive rainy day of vaca. Margaritaville Grand Turk - gift shop very depleted. Id say carrying 25% of usual items. Bar challenged as well - no drink servers at pool lounge chairs like normal. And after walking to bar near gift shop only drink upsell was pilsner glass...which isnt allowed near pool. (The out of stock bigger plastic souvenir glasses have muuuuuch better cost per oz on refills). Only heard one Jimmy Buffett song the 3+ hours we were there. For lack of a better word, that sucked. Suffice it to say i think the GT cafe just fell from my Worlds Best Margaritaville slot. Nice pasta lunch mid afternoon at Captains Cucina. Thumbs way up. 👍 Time for a chill pill before heading out to Alchemy and live entertainment. The Mrs, who had no drinks, is exhausted from shivering in cold rain earlier today. Napping it off.

Day two and three Thumbs up - Emeril branzino entree. Buffet pork shoulder. Guy's Plain Jane. Piano bar. Amber cove pool music. Coffee shop cafe latte. Sun sun sun on 3rd day after 2 rainy days in miami and 2 rainy onboard. Thumbs down - casino game that took my money. Amber cove beer in black can, 6 for $25. Blech.

If one orders five entrees id expect more than a few stares. I have 3 former college athletes in my entourage and none cleared both entrees they ordered last night.

Thumbs up: casino drink service. Fast! Thumbs up: cabin steward Thumbs up: mdr head server knew our party of six by name instantly, for entire night. Impressive. Thumbs up: mdr Showtime. Tons of fun.

All abooooooooooard? Our embarkation time is 11am and for once i might board on time-ish. Threatening weather in Miami today. Last i heard was 2-4" rain, 30-40mph wind gusts and 9' seas. Giddyup! We are rollin with a party of 6 (3 cabins) and my son's pal missed college grad ceremony to sail. His first cruise! Hes a nice young fella. They are football fanatics and plan to catch 2 of the nfl tripleheader games today. More details to follow. I hadnt planned on getting wifi but i have some xmas shopping to do and a partial ebay refund to process as seller. Its none too easy on the app...dangit. Fins up!!!

1-4pm optimism is welcome! It wasnt bad at all today. Went up to Dania Beach to see jai alai. Took 2.5 hours from miami beach. Rough. Not weather related at all. Still, its been a fantastic journey. -

Big rain and winds yesterday. Things did turn at dinner. Had an A+ meatball. B+ 4 cheese pizza. A- cannoli. The hotel mini fridge makes bottled water fast quickly. Today mostly wind. Little rain! Cruise cancelled at West Palm and one delayed at Everglades. So far Port Miami on schedule! -

Got to hotel, shoulda had 3 studio king (with kitchenette and dining table). Prepaid. Zero studio available. Just basic rooms. All rooms sold at the inn. Aaaargh. Have to dispute with Capital One travel since i booked it via them to earn 75k miles promo.
