The Colonel_Cruises

Yes. Thank you very much. We are exited about our first cruise with MSC!

I feel your Apex concerns. Any issue we had on the 2022 translant from Ft Lauderdale to Amsterdam, I just highlighted the issue to the staff and it was resolved for the rest of the cruise. Literally, they remembered the issue and made an effort to overcome every time they saw us.

Brilliant detective work and recording. Thanks for sharing!

They said last night they have been aboard 6 weeks and were looking forward to Alaska. Assuming a 6 month contract that takes them though the season.

Not MDR. Way overcooked and small. We are booked in Portland Maine for Lobster Fest in August. Look forward to a real seafood treat this summer!

New topic, Anyone boarding the Millennium this summer is in for a treat via onboard entertainment. Duo Rio is a delightful couple who sing in Rendezvous and the Sunset. YouTube channel here for a sneak peak https://youtube.com/@duorio7691. VVO the two aerialists also phenomenal. Their 45 minute performance last night was just awesome.

Good description. In the MDR we ordered the lobstah and NY strip. Made it more of a meal than the tail alone. Baked Alaska was pleasantly delicious.

Haha. Trays in hallway are dead giveaway.

Good info. Saw two more yellow dots today as we toured floors to get our steps in today. Kudos and thanks to those folks for isolating themselves.

Interesting our cabin steward disappeared on day 3 for 5 days. Said he was feeling much better. From what I do not know.

Scuttlebutt is the first run was for their bags. Second for patient transport.

Splendid assortment!

I'll be the one with 6 pounds of coffee yelling and waving. Hopefully medical was alerted about the case on the bus. He is still dry heaving on the home stretch.

Google prediction for arrival is 1808. If we are late, I at least want to be on a YouTube dock runner video.🏃‍♂️.

Hahaha. I became acquainted with that phenomena after being launched from the back of an LST in a AAV during sea state 2. One guy blew chunks and the rest of the crew under hatches spontaneously reciprocated. I was on the hatch and had fresh air so escaped the trauma below. Ok, I guess CC is not for war stories so... How bout that Gelato! In other unrelated news Group 11 bus is 72 minutes from the Pier. Never tested that all aboard policy so this will be a first 🤣.

Reminds me of early PT with Marines who over indulged the night before. Good times 😂. He stayed on the bus on our last stop. He's sleeping or passed out. His wife definitely a saint helping him get through it. Glad he is ok. High adventure on the Millennium!

Now dealing with passenger heat event and barfing on bus. A thrill a minute!

Coffee farm and processing facility very educational.

We are Group 11. Save some beans for us!

My goal is 20 lbs between Colombia, CR and Guatamala. Half for my personal stash and the other for gifts.

Nice. I suspect we will not be the only ones with heavier bags at disembarkation.

Wife and I also on this tour. My son works at the Starbucks HQ and is waiting for photos as the HQ folks know this farm. My hope is to load up on take away beans 🙂

With the reconfiguration of the MDR, it's hard enough to move around those tables for 6 they call 3 tables for two. Adding photographers to the mix trying to get the shot of a single couple does not reinforce any success.

Bus sign says Interport shuttle.
