Very good plan.

It could be the humidity affecting the lens. My camera lens always would for up when I went into our balcony.

Our excursion today takes us into the old locks.

T-Mobile works great in the canal!

This cam is either always outside…or inside the tower.  Pretty constant temp and/or humidity…. EM

Something for the "my cabin is too hot" crowd. Our travel clock shows the temperature in the cabin.  67.5 F is fine by me.

My travel clock also has the temp. It has helped that 2 cruises in the last 4 years have had air conditioning issues and I can call and say "my cabin is 78 degrees". I have not been able to get a cabin to go below 70 recently.

[nini]

I have to say that we kept turning the temp down on the Emerald (in May) and on the Grand (in September) an really could not make much difference. We are used to 68 degrees at home- we live about a mile from the ocean and we are heat wimps. 😁
