Here we go ... just about ready to go - rain, wind & what not aren't going to stall us. Let's rock & roll a bit, on our way down to Florida - it will be fine.

 

Following Seadog67's trackbut this, like my previous report, stay Semi Live like previous ones, since weare unlikely to upgrade to unlimited satellite WiFi on the ship. Goodenough with 310 minutes or about 1.1 GB of 3G+ data to use for at sea ...yielding 3 to 4 hours daily "live airtime" on average, over 5 out of7 days. On land tower's cellular signal while docked.

 

Once we make it to our first stop at Port Canaveral, FL - wewill be back on T-Mobile & Project Fi, and have a 3rd. line on AT&T ...not going to waste time to find "free" WiFi in port. GSC is onDay 4 or Wednesday, currently just 50:50, maybe less - if we do make it ashore... should be on roaming on "BTS" at 4G speed. If we keep goingdue to sea conditions & end up docking early at Nassau to overnight, then -BTS will also take care of our coverage.

Curbside berth 2 to Priority Lounge, 17 minutes only. Pax still disembarking, not in a hurry.

 

Good signal on ship's WiFi, time to book ...1d742b443bbadb505166b30700386017.jpg58251330711fc4e67849619c59a1ca75.jpgb79b2efa3ff9d2683cc2edcdb0870a74.jpg8cb5c899da18e945669f7afcb560a7e7.jpg

Did a NYE cruise on Gem last year and booked on Breakaway for this NYE. Had a blast.

Thanks all, leave questions and will answer if we can. Might be boarding sooner than usual and rooms are accessible for dropoff.

 

Not to worry, Mrs. M took hers, just in case, see below ... LOL.

 

Here's the handout.

Ship almost cleared, should start boarding within next 30 minutes. Still only about 30 to 40 in the Platinum seating area. Whole place doesn't feel crowded and that's a good thing. We are right next to the security podium for our boarding area.

11:16 - accessible guests starting to board, quietly. We should be next. A third podium for security use to check in just added. Almost. That door is open. Haven heading out now.

So much smoother than last Sunday, with the Coast Guard drill. We were back to back and my wife was passenger number 1 to scan on and that happened at 1:15. Hope your weather is better than ours was. Lots of rain in PC and at GSC. Beautiful day at Nassau, however.

 

BTW, as "thread starter" can you change the typo in the date in your thread title?
