     May be a bad day to launch anything from Canaveral considering what today marks the anniversary of.

Very true

Harmony was there yesterday.

Gale force winds around Nassau-the cold is really reaching south. So I guess you will continue to head south to escape the weather? Best wishes

Thank you for reporting live. We booked a gty inside cabin (yikes) and I am looking to upgrade. I am wondering if my initial cabin at check in (3rd floor) is the quarantine floor so they will move me anyway. Is this wishful thinking? Any idea where the covid place is?

Good Morning!!  😃 

Well we made it to day 2 with no hangover LOL 😆🍻We made last night a late one.  Why not.. no ports for 2 days.  We had dinner in Chops which was fantastic as always.  Then stopped in the casino for a bit.  Made a donation there (ugh).  😳  Hung out in the Schooner Bar with Roel (spelling?) playing piano and closed down the joint lol 😂  The drink package is getting a workout.  Quick stop at the promenade for some late night pizza and back to the cabin for some  💤  We aren’t show people but Dudley made us reservations for the ice show on one of the days. Day 6 possibly.   Maybe we will go 🤔?

@SteelCityCruiser10Have you run into a bartender named Bobby from Jamaica?  Big guy- bald.  If so what bar is he working in?  I am boarding 2/8

Challenge accepted - Doesn’t ring a bell off the top of my head but if he’s on this ship serving Tito’s I WILL find him!  lol Cheers

Looking forward to your review. Sounds like you are having fun. We usually sale Celebrity but sailed on Royal Back about 5 years ago. Would like to get back on Royal again and sale out of Port Canaveral. We live in Daytona so would be super easy to get there. 
Enjoy your cruise!

Thanks! We were on Mariner a few weeks ago.  When you find out how many passengers are on this cruise, I'd love to know. We were at ~1850, and it was wonderful.  

approx 2000.  Pax count slightly higher now than previous couple weeks is what I am hearing from the crew.  

Feels pretty empty compared to pre covid.

Playoffs!  Don’t talk about the Playoffs!

Boarding in a couple weeks.  Cruised 2 years ago and really made friends with two drink servers predominantly in the Schooner bar name Jon and Von from the Philippines I believe.  If you run across them please let me know and where they might be working.  

 

Hopefully be watching the SB with the Bengals. WhoDey!

We'll be on board for the SB as well! We will be hosting a SB pool if you're interested. Here's our roll call:

Once you have been assigned a cabin number you can switch to any other open same category cabin any where on the ship.

So far I have not run into them.

 

Spicy Jalepeno in schooner is in full effect though.  Quite a character if anyone knows him.

For anyone interested in Labadee Barefoot Beach cabanas here is the price list distributed this afternoon from Dudley… 😎

Spicy Jalepeno is hilarious!  He IS the star in the Schooner Bar.
