On the way to the ship

If you are sent out to fetch supper like I was, don't expect them to have plastic utensils you take with you. Many parts of the world are far ahead of the US in trying to reduce plastic use. Even the water bottles have attached tops. I asked at the hotel to borrow some utensils .

We've been on a number of cruises in Europe and have been able to carry liquor and wine, etc. On every single one. Carnival's ticket contract doesn't change, but enforcement does. We were on the Carnival Glory Transatlantic last month and literally had to walk through the liquor store in the terminal to board the ship. This was after you cleared security. I am expecting the same today. If we don't walk through it we will walk by it. Carnival could always change their mind. They may run out of more popular items, so we shop before going to the terminal. You can also shop in every port.

Some seem to want toilet pictures. I'm not so sure, but at the restaurant/bar. Oops, looks sideways... Oops, no it doesn't.

They are great! As Tony the Tiger would say.

Supper

No cats yet, but always on the lookout

All things considered, I think I might have preferred the British Air A380 to Heathrow and then to BCN. At least BA took off with only a slight delay. Originally I had booked Premium Economy one them before our plans changed. We would have been on the upper deck.

But we are here! Our TVs on the plane were out. I guess a sticker was cheaper than fixing them.

We will change planes in MIA on the return. Yesterday was all weather related. Our scheduled plane was coming from Rome and arrived a little late, but then there was no gate for them. Those passengers sat on the plane for about 3 hours until they could get to a gate. I dunno

We made it a little while ago. Got to the hotel, liquor store, etc. Now trying to get one of the A/C units fixed. It is no bueno, but the other works great. But it isn't the one in the bedroom.

Punch it Mabel. We need to beat the storm.

Later than late but in/on the plane!

Plane is here, crew showed up, I talked with them some. I think it's a geaux!

Don't care for the programs they show

And again

If we make it, sure. Don't see many options if this one doesn't go.

Who's on first?

Thank you. They just cancelled a flight to HNL. Some disappointed folks near us. At least there is a plane at our gate and they were provisioning it.

Could be worse - the customer service area downstairs has a mile long line and the one in the lounge has a line as well. I guess there were a lot of cancelled flights today.

Ok, it's getting old. Delayed 20 minutes, then 45 minutes, and now 105 minutes ... Blue skies right now, but I guess they want to wait for the next storm
