Menu for those of you who haven’t been before.

Made it to the hotel my no rooms are ready so heading over to fishlips and grabbing some food.

I4 did I4 things, that Highway is just a mess.

New card arrived via ups right as I was packing my car. Noice, Got the car packed. Already took my dog to a friends that will watch him for me. Time to get this show on the road.

I am packed and ready to go, Alarm set for noon to head up to the hotel.

Pretty sure it was a Gas station that I usually don't stop at, That or the last place I ate out at since the Server had my card for awhile.

Not a bad thing, I am just up doing laundry and starting to pack.

I have tried Royal once felt nickeled and dimed, After this Magic cruise I have a MSC and then an NCL Cruises booked. Carnival just feels like home though. Although I really wish Carnival would give us the freestyle machines like on Royal. I hate having to take up a bar tenders time to get some Soda.

I haven't been on a Ship with JiJi's yet, But I prefer the steakhouse to Rudis and Teppanyaki was just gross to me.

So I was doing laundry today when my phone started dinging i got like four different alerts that someone was trying to use my Amex Bonvoy card on Amazon for like 5k+ and thankfully I have it set to where it sends me alerts for any purchases over a certain amount. So I logged onto my account and see they somehow bought like 700$ at Walmart. I instantly called Amex and they shut that card down, I explained that I needed a replacement asap as I was planning on using this for my vacation (I was using it for my onboard account.) Very nice rep is overnighting me a new card. I really hate people that do this, If they used this brain power for good they could do so much good.

Hey Ma, Look I made it. lol

Three days to go.

Couple photos of the new ride.

I am a Marriott guy as well lol well my Bonvoy card made me one lol.

Thanks it wasn’t a planned buy lol, I stopped into a local Audi dealership and test drove an A4 they had and they cut me a good deal on it.

Ah you made the choice to drive probably the correct one with the winter storm still causing havoc.

Hotels by the pier are booked solid. Good luck, that winter storm created a mess. Will wave as we sail by aboard the Magic though.

Four days to go, I bought a new car today and had to run by Publix and buy a new SunPass for it.

Side Note the Bucs are trying to give me a stroke this year the way they have been playing.

Comparing Carnival and Celebrity is comparing apples to oranges one is a luxury brand the other is a mainstream family brand.

Rotating movie channel is usually enough for me but Magic,MG both had TCM my last times onboard those.

So close yet so far away.

Merry Christmas all. I hope everyone is staying warm and safe and enjoying some quality family time.

Seven days to go!!!!!! Also, Marry Christmas everyone.
