Live From Eurodam March 30 until April 10

[Crazy For Cats]

Hello Everyone, now that we passed the covid tests I thought that I would start a live from thread.

 

We previously had booked the March 20 ten day itinerary but cancelled because of the protocols that were in place when final payment was due.  I did state the reason for the cancellation.  We received a very enticing offer to sail again but resisted until the protocols were updated to something we were more comfortable with abiding by.  So we booked the 11 day itinerary and am very much looking forward to being on a BHB once again.

 

Yesterday I was notified that our health questionnaire was ready to be completed and that we can use Verifly to make boarding quicker.  I downloaded the Verifly app, updated the health questions and we were almost ready,  Today I used eMed to take the test and within 20 minutes I had the desired result.  At 6 am DH was swabbed at the hospital and did not have results when he got home.  He used the second test kit and 20 minutes later he had his negative result.  Around 6 pm the hospital finally gave him his result.  Both tests results were uploaded to Verifly and within a few minutes each was accepted.  I will say that I am glad that I watched the video before actually taking the test.

 

We booked the Neptune category as a guarantee.  If we selected a room it would have been on deck six.  We got deck seven starboard side not too far from the lounge.  No perks were given, except for the $200 deposit that became OBC.  We both purchased Wifi ahead of time.  We did not book any excursions.  Thinking things are still up in the air with port changes and will decide as each port approaches if there is anything that appeals.

When they see the suitcases they know something is up.  Melissa, the pet sitter, will spoil them with treats and hugs.

Have a great cruise.  Eurodam was our first BHB.

Looking forward to reading your reports!

My sister and I will also be on this cruise -- our first since the pandemic -- .  and we'll be able to cross the Panana Canal off our bucket list.  Our travel blog has been quiet for awhile so we're anxious to start blogging again. -- havesisterwilltravel.blogspot.com

The flight out of Boston to FLL was uneventful and we had the middle seat open!  Once we landed we called the hotel for their shuttle and we’re checked into the Four Points by Sheraton by 2.  We find the location convenient for a quick trip to CVS, which we already did today and it’s a short walk to the shops.

Around 3 we walked over to La Bamba for late lunch/early dinner.  It was really good food and the prices were reasonable.  Pictures to follow.

After that we were both a bit tired so relaxed at the hotel. (Mona was very insistent on her overnight pets)

Mango and coconut margaritas with dinner.

 

 

I had a beef stew with plantains. 

 

 

Juan had pork chops.

How nice you has the middle seat open-very lucky!  Looks like a good supper too.  Great start to your holiday.  Hoping your check in at cruise goes smoothly too.  Have fun!

Getting ready to get on road and head to port.  What a beautiful day to be cruising... (actually, everyday is a beautiful day to cruise lol).

 

Saw her come in this morning.  Was checking out our wrap balcony.  Can't wait.
