@Zhoen How long did it take for the transfer to go through?

Yes.

Braised short ribs on top of mashed potatoes. It was very good!

Can you update January 2, 2023 with my real name? Sharon M https://virg.in/oTBh I'm on FB as well. Thanks!

While it was not perfect, we had a good time. We arrived at the pier about 10:15 Saturday morning and were on the ship by 11:15 AM without purchasing the Express embark/disembark package. Valet parking was $22 / night so $44 total. Buffet opened about 11:30 AM. Rooms were ready about 1:00 PM. Food in the Buffet and Fins (MDR) were good. Prime Rib and Desserts were excellent. We did not try any of the paid venues (Frank & Lola's pizza, JWB Steakhouse). Went to the Tales from Margaritaville show which was hokey but cute. We had a porthole cabin on deck 4. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean & crisp. The hairdryer or the outlet (220) didn't work. The shower head was terrible and was clogged with calcium buildup. Also couldn't get the safe to work. Barely saw our cabin steward. Paid $99 for 10 drinks (x2) which included the gratuity. Buckets of beer (5 for the price of 4) were $30 plus 18% gratuity. Bagus, the bartender in License to Chill on the pool deck, was awesome. He kept my beers cold from one day to the next so I didn't have to consume all five in one day and made the best mojitos & strawberry daquiris. We did not do any excursions in Freeport. Took a cab for $12/pp round trip to the shopping area but most stores were closed so we got some food and cheap beers at Rum Runners. Open air market vendors were pushy as expected.

Signed up for the May 28th sailing. Looking forward to seeing what it's all about.
