Celebration bulgogi

Let’s go cruising!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I adjusted our Parking Spot reservation. The extra 2.5 days was $22 more. Not a great rate, but I reserved the uncovered self park for the original cruise in May at a rate of $6.25 per day. The good news is, I think we will park for free on our December cruise due to their points/rewards system.

Covid testing… done. left the house and ran to the bank, and I got to Walgreens early. Waited on this van to get their meds and then it was my turn. Only new thing, I had to sign a form stating that they could bill my insurance. Made me a little nervous, but everything else was normal, and I swabbed and went on my merry way.

Good morning all! T-minus 100 minutes until Covid testing. I set an alarm, and checked in for the flight at 6:45am. Then rolled over and went back to sleep for a bit. Now, last minute laundry and some work. Airport Canaveral said moving our shuttle wouldn’t be a problem, and that they would send a follow up email with the new details “shortly”. Fingers crossed that is worked out right.

The bees are pretty self sufficient. It’s the kids that are high maintenance. 😉 Also, the kids are mad. They wanna cruise again, but they have to wait until October.

There are 3 back up flight options that will still get us to Port Canaveral on time to cruise. 2 from Love field, one from DFW. Hope they aren’t needed but… just in case.

When you last minute book a B2B, and nothing is ready, and you are flying in the morning of the cruise, and you’re nervously excited… you have white claw. I just gotta get packed, test negative and have everything go according to plan. 😆

Aris’s refrigerator

Tomorrow, I have to rally the supplies for the crew. I’ve asked all my favorites if they need/want us to bring them anything. Teo said nothing and then said anything. Aris collects magnets and has shown us his refrigerator at home that is covered. He says before he comes on contract he hides all his favorites so they don’t get taken. 😆 So he, of course, asked for an Oklahoma magnet. And I Nyoman said nothing but Aris told me he secretly wants Pringles but is too shy to say so. Pringles it is!! I’m still waiting to hear back from a few.

I mean, it’s just money. 😆

I have not. Guess we might find out tomorrow.

So this afternoon, I was thinking about @Jamman54 and how he thinks it’s ridiculous to fly in for a short 4 night cruise. 😆😉 So I thought “hmm let me check and see if the next sailing has our cabin available”… well the July 15th sailing is sold out, but the July 8th sailing had availability and it goes to BIMINI! We love Bimini, so booked it. Now we will fly in on Friday morning non-stop from Dallas. There was not a price change. I’m a little nervous about flying the morning of, but let’s wing it. Cheers! and internets paid for with the new sailing. Only thing I have to figure out is the shuttle to the port. The last Airport Canaveral shuttle leaves at 10:30am and with checked bags and a flight that lands at 10:15, we won’t make that. Hopefully they will refund us and we can just Uber. That’s my plan. I emailed and called them. No one answered, so I’ll get on that tomorrow. We are still getting Covid tested at Walgreens. Our insurance covers the cost of the test. It was scheduled for Saturday. Now moved to tomorrow at 11am. If for some reason they want to charge us, we will leave and test with the OnPoint testing. I all ready have tests, just in case.

Beep beep beep beep beep We interrupt this LIVE for LIVE BREAKING NEWS… I just made it a B2B. I’m changing the travel plans now. I’ll update with the new info tonight.

Please do! Can’t wait!

Our shuttle situation worked well last time, so if isn’t broke, don’t fix it. We will stay, this time, at the Courtyard Marriott Orlando Airport. They have 24 hour shuttle service to and from MCO. Monday morning, we will shuttle back to the airport to join a 9am Airport Canaveral Shuttle to Port Canaveral. I do have to note that they changed their prices since March. Last time, it cost $15 per person each way. This time, $20 per person plus a $4 fuel charge. What can ya do?!

Travel plans: the plan is to fly out of Dallas on Southwest Sunday evening to Orlando, but if you haven’t heard, there’s been quite a mess with flights lately. There’s exactly 9 other flights after our’s is scheduled to take off that can get us to the cruise before we will miss it. And there’s always options from DFW, so I’m optimistic we will make it. I prefer to fly out of Dallas Love Field and on Southwest for the 2 free bags and of course, Cantina Laredo margaritas! I’m also really excited to fly without a mask. It’s been so long since my face flew naked.

Thanks! I’m pretty excited to be reunited with the crew and Cheers! 😉

If you’re new to my reviews, welcome! We’ve sailed the Carnival Liberty several times this year starting with a southern ABC cruise when she took the place of the Horizon in January. It was so much fun, and we made great friends with the Red Frog rum bar bartenders: Teodoro, Aris, and I Nyoman. Then we returned at the end of March for a B2B and made even more friends with Emmanuel, Alberto and Roque. Their contracts are up around the end of July, so we decided to do it ONE MORE TIME. We’ve never been to Princess Cays, and we can always find something fun to do in Nassau, so why not?!

Hey friends! It’s been a busy 12 days since we disembarked the Carnival Ecstasy, but in my Lizzo voice, “it’s about d@m time” for a proper live with Cheers! and adult time! Join me as I sail the Carnival Liberty next week for 4 nights as we sail to Nassau and Princess Cays with the best bar staff in the fleet. DJ Lindy Legends will make some appearances, along with Cruise Director Dustin (back from his vacation), and they have new entertainment (the last cast went home July 4th). So wash your party pants, stock up on liquid IV, and let’s send my favorite bartenders home from this contract the right way!

We always fly to NOLA so I don’t know that struggle.

The traffic getting into the port garage was a nightmare for us. And then a train came through and made it worse.

I received it and just finished it. I want more sports options. I’m surprised about the R/NC17 rated questions. They gonna offer dirty movies on the ship?!

We walked on in Mobile because the train and traffic delayed us and we were in document check for the 52 kids we brought when boarding started. They called A02 right as we were finishing up.

Ohhh I know. #LowlyGold #Onlyonemorecruise
