  1. We were at Howl at the Moon Saturday night, Jen was amazing! She sang Back to Black by Amy Winehouse and, WOW!
  2. Not surprisingly the studio cabin on the Breakaway looks just like the one I had on the Getaway. I loved it, it felt so cozy, but not at all claustrophobic to me. I think the white walls and bright lights helped.
  3. DH and I were talking last night about how being born on a holiday, sometimes your birthday is overshadowed by the holiday. Not so with St Patrickā€™s day! Everybody just wants to celebrate and drinkšŸ€ Glad to know youā€™re my birthday buddy! My TA put down on the booking to celebrate my birthday on Saturday although it is actually the 17th. Yes it was embarrassing after the first time they sang Happy birthday. On Sunday morning I told them Iā€™m celebrating St Patrickā€™s day but I still got more Happy Birthdays.
  4. I just had to add that my adult drink total for the cruise was 18, and as DH pointed out, about 17 1/2 more than a normal week at home for me. DH had double the drinks I did, but he also has a glass of Tullimore Dew or Jamisonā€™s a couple of times a week. Our next cruise is on the Getaway out of New Orleans in October with friends. Back in a regular balcony stateroom, and a more active trip for sure. Wishing you all fair skies and following seas! šŸ›³ļø
  5. Hey @cruiseny4life You are about 99 questions short šŸ¤£ I hope your next cruise is as marvelous as this one was for me. Sad itā€™s over but on our way to pick up Daisy so not too sad.
  6. After a nice last breakfast and handing out tips and goodbye hugs we were escorted down at 7:59am. We scanned off the ship and joined the line of what looked to be most self assist passengers. By 8:15am we had our luggage, through customs (Yay for facial recognition!) and got on a shuttle bus for the garage at 100 Poydras St. Amazing that we had a private ride. By 8:30 am we were in our car and headed to Biloxi. And just like that, our fun week was over. Thanks for following along, and may the spirit of Captain Ron be with you always!
  7. As usual my internal alarm clock had me awake way before the 6 am alarm I set. In stepping out on the balcony at 6:15am it was warm and so far no rain. Radar shows itā€™s moving in though. We will head up soon for breakfast and then wait to be escorted off by the concierge team. We are in no rush as I donā€™t think the LZA garage at 100 Poydras opens until 8:30 or so. Of course by the time we get our luggage and get through customs we still have to wait for the shuttle bus back to the garage. We will have a short drive of 1&1/2 hours to the Beau Rivage in Biloxi MS where we will spend the night before finishing the drive home on Monday. The Breakaway trip reports continue with @YVRteacher for the next two weeks. Her trip reports and photographs are excellent so Iā€™ve handed off the reins to her!
  8. Apparently when your travel agent notes on your reservation that youā€™re celebrating your birthday the word gets around! Every where we went today I was wished a Happy Birthday. Every time I entered the Haven restaurant I was sung Happy Birthday and brought more treats. From my stateroom attendant- From the restaurant servers- The server made a napkin rose for me šŸŒ¹ I canā€™t say enough about how kind all the staff of the Haven are. And not just to me and DH. We spent the better part of the day reading in the warmth and sunshine knowing that tomorrow it would be cool and possibly raining. Around 4pm we packed our suitcases so we wouldnā€™t have to worry about it later. Dinnee in the Haven restaurant then we headed to Howl at the Moon and enjoyed some very talented musicians before heading back to our stateroom. We spent a few minutes watching the harbor pilot board the ship for our slow trip upriver. Off to bed for an early wake up tomorrow.
  9. To correct a few things I got wrong, DH didnā€™t play arcade games because you needed to purchase a package, he was just swiping his card wrong and saw the sign about arcade packages and assumed he needed to purchase one. So you can still play them without purchasing the package. Also the port fee credit was from missing Harvest Cay.
  10. The first one was a poinsettia, champagne and cranberry juice, the other pic is a painkiller.
  11. For breakfast DH ran down to Starbucks for some coffees and we ate the birthday cake Sheryl had left for me last night, then it was off to the Haven sundeck since an overnight rain storm left our lounge cushions soaked. Nobody up this earlyā€¦ DH was spotted at the bar by the Haven restaurant staff who asked him when we were coming for breakfast. He said we had already had breakfast bug they insisted we come have just a little something. This is the little something they brought out while they sang happy birthday to me! Then the bartenders brought these and sang Happy Birthday! By the time breakfast was over Iā€™m not sure how many times Iā€™d had Happy Birthday sung. to mešŸ˜¬ We hung out in the lounge until it was time for the debarkation briefing by the concierge. We received our luggage tags and instructions on luggage assistance and also restaurant hours for the morning. After that it was back to the sundeck for more sun and reading and drinks!
  12. Since Iā€™m about debark tomorrow and end my trip report I hand over the ship to you and am hoping you have a great and stress free cruise. ā¤ļø Love your trip reports and canā€™t wait to read about your adventures!
  13. Day 7 at sea We are sadly headed back to New Orleans, the captain says we will enter the mouth of the Mississippi River around 9:30 pm tonight. Chance of rain this afternoon, likely rain tomorrow. Love New Orleans, but sad to be heading back. its a funky place
