Lol compared to paying full price rates, of course it's a very good rate for 7 days. Like other curious which ship but if they offered me a cruise 271 x 2 I assume, I'm solo, I'd grab it. People post prices and as a solo I never know if they mean that's the real price or per person. I can remember the olden pre covid days. Cheapest during hurricane I'd see was like 299, usually 399 per person at the top of hurricane season around labor day. I always jumped on it. Now I dont see as big of a difference during hurricane season as before covid. I think people have forgotten how ports can get missed. I personally dontd care if it's just a same ole Caribbean. I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I remember when they did those tournaments and personally I enjoyed them. Once I almost won, came in 2nd. I think I just got a size small shirt but still fun. I dont have strong feelings about losing the $25. I did go into the casino in January and got my $25. Most unlucky ever. I never lost money so fast lol. I knew I should look for that german heidi machine I'm lucky on but coukdnt find it ... saw it later. I enjoyed the tournaments more so this is kinda easy come easy go. Royal only says gives you $6 but if you go in to play within 24 hours it turns into $8. So to me $25 was super generous.

Lol I just no showed myself. I have been overwhelmed with moving. Idk why, I always prints my boarding pass and put it with my passport .. got to the port hotel, next morning went to get my passport and was like oh no. I couldn't board so I drove home. This is twice. I also was a no show last year right after my moms funeral. My brother in law thought it was his right to just go into her house and take stuff. Mr religious thought he could do whatever he wanted. I had stored valuables there, that were mine. He and his daughter had a garage sale 9 days after her funeral and went thru picture albums they thru out, my own personal stuff in my bedroom. In 20 years I've never been too sick to cruise, but now twice, missed 2 cruises for non covered insurance reasons. I know I cant believe it either I forgot my passport for my may cruise last month. I'm moving to port Canaveral and after 11 nights inna hotel they finally brought my stuff. Broken antiques and other small stuff. And I paid for a partial packing. Silly me thought unpacking. I cant lift a microwave, but I'm here. Now this everlasting thing I have to file a damage claim for stuff broken. And unpack. So twice during my ordeal im going thru i missed 2 cruises and just no showed. I think sometimes you have to decide what's best for you. I obviously just was having a hard time wrapping my mind around a cruise last month. I actually delayed closing on selling my dallas house until after the cruise. 3 days after I'd made final payment I decided to ove sooner than I originally planned and found a larger condo. Now I have 2 condos here :( .. I really think only you know if you are in a cruising mood. I understand hating to lose the money. That's the hardest part. No one here can tell you the right answer. There may be no right or wrong answer. From someone who just no showed for a cruise .. i feel for you losing the money and I would have liked the loyalty pts.

Well I am happy to see your post and no positive for sure cancer. They always have trouble finding my veins. They say hydrate and drink lots of water thru night before helps with them sticking a needle in you. I just had cataract surgery and even though thru dont put you to sleep they do anesthesia to numb you up. And my gp they have trouble every time. If you need to again, drink as much water the night before as you can. I have the same issue. More hydration they keep saying. Getting a biospsy ouch, more fun times. Sorry. Even if I dont always respond I have been reading along. Best wishes for continued no cancer.

I am so glad you will finally be getting answers. I think not knowing and worrying its ahead of you is the worst part. Please let us know the results. I'm still worried about my friends in san antonio is visited just before I moved. Known her 50 years and known her husband almost that long. He just had had prostate surgery. The very last morning he was able to get out of bed and talk. I am alarmed. I wanted to wait to call her back but he has prostate cancer cells he is NOT having treated. He said things like they told him that prostate cancer cells are slow growing and they think they are only centered in his prostate. They cut off enough so he can peo but hes not doing any chemo or having his prostate removed or any other treatment. Clearly they went over possible treatments with him for him to say all the treatments he is NOT doing. He also said he is 100% disabled vet from viet nam war due to agent orange, so there is obviously more to the story. It was the morning just as I was leaving. He was saying how being disabled 100% is unusual. So I'm thinking more to the story, but for him to say he still has cancer cells in his prostate he is not having treated. Yes I'm alarmed. And my cousin also went thru prostate cancer and had his removed. And told me how hard recovery was for him. So I really hope your results are perfect and just old age and nothing to worry about. I have been worried about you ever since you said you needed to go get checked for cancer, sorry but im a worrier and know too much about this.

Have you considered buying a case of water that is delivered to your cabin. I think its listed under gifts but I could be wrong where its listed. It's not listed with the packages that are daily charges, this is a one time charge. Also of course you can carry on power aide, 12 per cabin, carry on only. For me the pkg woukdnt be worth a daily charge, but everyone is different. Many buy a case of water to be delivered usuallynbosrding day. I also get 3 bottles of free water I always give away. I like carbonated water or ice water. I prefer ship water with ice to free bottled water. It's hard for someone to suggest to someone else, we are all so different.

I'd like them to update a long list of stuff. What restaurants are or are not included in bogo heads my list personally. I dont want to get izumi sushi side on allure and get on harmony and be told it's not included. Or wonderland. Last time I didnt even try.. tired of a different story on how it works on each ship. Price dropped on something and I was onboard and their customer service desk called. They said the higher price on a excursion was due to taxes. NO. Excursions dont have the 18% tax added. That's when I figured out myself how to go into planner and cancel stuff myself. It was a b2b so I could still cancel for the following week a excursion. I suspect they outsourced a lot of customer service. And those people just dont know. I was talking to someone who spoke like a american but lived in a Caribbean island. I'd asked her and she readily told me where she lived. I forget now which island, but they are no longer sitting up in the state of Washington like they used to. I had a dedicated person who they assigned me to book cruises and it woukd take 3 days or more for her to call me back. She said they were allowing her to now work from home. Technicians needed to come out and fix her connection. She admitted she wasnt getting messages in a timely manner. She blamed royal IT didnt set it up at her home correctly. Issues. I love my TA, if I havent told him that lately. 3 days to call back, by then the price has often changed. I dont see a way for me to put a hold on a cabin myself with royal online. With carnival it's so easy. I can look and see a cabin, and push hold. Easy as that. Days I can hold seem based on how far out the cruise is. But I can hold for 3 days and extend it so easy., royal makes so many things harder than they have to be. Anytime dining make it on the app I can push a button when I want to eat, not stand in a line. The dedicated C&A number just one of many things.

They will be sitting at their desk. If they arent busy they will talk to you if you have a request, or you can write down your name and sit and they will call you up next. Like I asked for bogo which is a D+ perk. They said no to both wonderland and izumi sushi side (yes I know izumi hibachi excluded, says nothing about either wonderland or izumi sushi which I pointed out). After 5 times back and forth 3 weeks on ship, as a special favor the concierge granted it but made it clear special favor which I read as TIP ME.

Some buy a yearly policy. I would consider cancel for any reason though it costs a bit more. I was a no show last month and once last year. Both were for reasons other than y own health and woukdnt have been covered by a lot of policies. My mom passed first time, my health not affected. Many policies dont cover a family member who is not cruising with you. I'd consider something like cancel for any reason. I've never been sick and cant board, both times other uncovered reasons.

I've seen fruit sniffing dogs in cozumel. They too are very serious about entering their island and sneaking fruit off. The worry is some kind of insect could have infected the fruit and you introduce it into their ecology. Not always but I've seen it there. Idk its amusing but always see a pile of mixed drinks where you get off the ship. People grab a drink and think they can walk off the ship with it. A bottle of water yes, a mixed drink which often can have something fruity no no.

I emailed and will call about filing a claim. I have so many complaints I dont know they will even listen. Imo the workers were fresh off the boat Haitians. At least one didnt speak english. As far as my cousin helping he lives snow bird, half the year in venice florida, at least 4 hours away. He just went back up north to his golf condo in Cincinnati a week before I left dallas so we just missed each other. If I hadnt paid them to pack stuff I wouldnt feel cheated. I see 4 boards sitting taped together I have to figure where they go. And another square off white square of wood obviously goes into something off white as a shelf. I'm missing a lot of shelves I guess they packed up. I paid them to pack, so I guess it was naive to think that would unpack. Things like 5 or 6 lamps are packed in the boxes. Its lucky this condo came with lots of ceiling fans with lights. Imo lamps are furniture. I've moved twice in dallas and never had stuff broken nor such poor service. And to top it wll off my next door neighbor knocks on my door about 6 pm asking if it was my guys who left a lot of boxes downstairs clearly marked NO CONTRACTOR TRASH. Boxes either have to be hauled away by contractors or put up by tower A for recycling. So after I spent the day cutting tape and helping them unwrap stuff until I almost cant walk, I had to go downstairs and get all the cardboard they taped to stuff instead of blankets. I took some down to somemgreen recycling containers and will ask the maintenance man where cardboard boxes go. I brought a whole elevator full of cardboard they used to wrap around furniture back up here so today I have to dispose of their mess. Where I moved from a guy with dreadlocks coming over to talk to me is a pan handler. Turned out to be a worker but maybe I'm just a scardy cat but admit I was a bit worried. I moved from a unsafe area. I asked later and he was from haiti as i think the others who showed up later were from haiti. At least 1 spoke no English. Simple things like no this is the BACK and he woukd try to turn it upside down, and I'm like no this is backwards not upside down. As for the glass I had 2 big pieces. Glad they made it. Kinda similar size.,I was like this one looks like for the top of my coffee table. He was like no too small, I'm no I think it fits. And then the 2nd piece was for the top of the one triple dresser and the main guy the driver saying I wasted his time, it's my furniture how could I not know sooner before he put on the mirror. I worked my arse off all day ... and then to have to go down later and pick up all their cardboard trash. Imo blankets not cardboard should have been wrapped around my obviously delicate stuff. Only the marble top of my napoleon desk type thing marked delicate. Nothing else and the foot of that very oldmliece obviously has a new gouge in the right front foot.fresh wood gouge. It wasnt there before. I have a lot of really old old antiques. I love them. They have been moved several times before safely. That's why I was so concerned when I kept hearing new dates for delivery. I know antiques are fragile. My cousin said they probably pay google a lot of money to be at the top rated 10 stars in a google cross country move search. So today I have to ask ray where cardboard boxes to. I need to know anyway, but a bunch of haitians some who don't speak english and put their trash where it's clearly marked no contractor trash. I had 80 boxes, many have antique stuff in and all my moms quilts and allmtheirmboxes and now their trash to deal with and now I need to file a claim for damage.,3 weeks in this heat and humidity just too long. I would not have agreed had I understood how they count. From the date I asked for delivery. And not 12 days, 12 business days and memorial long weekend. Over 3 weeks. So today i file a claim for damage and find out where cardboard boxes go. I was so tired last night from all the cutting tape and unwrapping I could barely walk. And of course about 2 pm it rained, saw it on that link for hourly weather rain by 2 pm, it hit about 1:45. I knew that only 1 elevator would not make them happy but I also worked very hard on helping. I guess get it in writing and ask the right questions. I know for sure I was told no elevator fee unless they have to use the stairs. Well turns out they did have to use the stairs., my sofa is a lightweight piece of junk I said well just keep it. They had to walk it up 8 flights of stairs so I would have had to pay the fee anyway. This place really needs a moving elevator. The neighbor who warned me his sofa had to be walked up 8 flights was right. Lucky mine is ultra light weight,microfiber or some such.,I wanted to buy motion. Looks like that's not going to happen. Elevator ceiling just too low. Motion and leather sofa would weigh a ton. That's on this place. I need to go shopping and buy juice especially. Waited 2 days for him to show up. Soith florida getting hammered with rain. It could have been a lot worse. And who would think to ask about the size of the truck coming in here. That long cab, and 18 wheeler.,.no kidding that took over a hour including the maintenance guy here who i keep having to ask for stuff. Now it's where does contractor trash go. I get it that's a hard job they did today too, but I paid for packing. Lesson to myself ask if that includes unpacking. I still think things like lamps are furniture and at the very least their responsibility to unpack. By the time I took the grocery cart down to tower A and dumped some of the cardboard incoukdnt move so just took it up here but it says small cardboard only. Obviously there has to be a place for larger cardboard. I love the condo but it sure isnt easy to move in. Car wash rules and a key to turn on the car wash .. recycling.. it's a whole new world to me. I went to bed, really i could hardly walk and then 2 trips down with a shopping cart with cardboard. I'm sure going to work in getting more in shape. ...but every day here seems to be a new challenge. Twice a week they do morning water aerobics and other activities. Lots to look forward to. Not w clue where my bathing suit or even shorts are.silly me thinking these guys were like movers I'd had in the past. I know my fault, get it in writing. Claim next. And I want to discuss what I paid for when I paid for packing. It doesnt mean unpacking? Elevator and parking fees. And imo maybe a complaint to bbb. .

Well they did come and have gone. I'm feeling kinda idk .. things are broke. Valuable stuff too. He says it's my fault I should have had my antiques crated at additional cost. I have a black lacquer table and a mahogany end table both with broken legs I'm most upset about. A scratch on the headboard of my mahogany bed frame that wasnt there before.,it was bought new because it matched a antique triple dresser. It's my fault I called the main guy away from setting up a triple dresser. The other guy was putting a marble top on a napoleon table wrong and it too had a piece of board inside the drawer I dont know what it used to be attached to. But anyway, he walked away from the triple dresser and left it standing on its end wrapped up. To start with he arrived 1030 maybe later before 1130. His cab of his truck is huge ot just that he has a 18 wheeler, that cab is extra long too. Spent a hour figuring out how to get in and turn around and pull alongside my bldg. There is a big parking lot right outside the fence. He said the trees will scratch the top of his truck, it's happened before these trees are ot that big and just along the fence, there was tons of room to pull his truck. Anyway that took over a hote. Even the maintenance man was involved in trying to get his truck to make the turn at the north gate, come down to the south and turn around. There are some small things broke. A xmas tree I set there at xmas just to say its xmas, the top is bent, past fixing. Ruined junk. A vacuum handle in pieces doesnt go back together seems broke to me. The scratch on my bed frame. What I am feeling so down about is I'm no better off than before they came kitchen wise. They packed boxes too heavy for me. I really only wanted my microwave especially. The moving guy said hey they cost $40 get another. The issue is partial pack apparently isnt partia unpack. I have no idea which box the microwave is in. I had 80 boxes and they came and packed up my kitchen and microwave and pots and pans. Silly me thinking a partial pack meant partial unpack. I cant even lift the boxes or microwave by myself. I'm used to zapping my coffee a little warmer than a coffee maker makes it. I like my coffee super hot. So valuable antiques I've had for 50 years and treasured are broke and I still have no kitchen stuff to use except what I bought to jse while mynstuff came. I have to make a claim for damage. But he says my fault for not having valuable antiques crated. And a room of boxes. And a triple dresser standing on its end. This black lacquer table is over 300 years old. The mahogany end table also very old. The boxes are triple deep at the end and the big ones are stacked double high and double deep that mostly I cant pick up. My kitchen stuff is in there somewhere I'm sure. And microwave. I only have some plastic silverware to use. .. oh let me add the picture of the triple dresser it will take 2 strong men to set so it's not standing on its end. If you paid for them to pack your stuff would you assume that also meant they would unpack the stuff they packed? I really wanted my microwave.

I called him usually you could park along either side of the elevator with a area big enough for 3 big cars, but the elevator guys have a truck and wagon in the area on one side. I said if hes soon he can park right now. He answered his phone this time. He said jane I told you 8 to 10. I said you said about 8, this is the first time I heard 10. No wonder they started past noon on the job yesterday. I bet it wasnt all the ladys fault theyndidnt start until past noon. Hes alone and having to wait on workers to show up. I agree, no way alone hes going to be able to ove those triple dressers. More rain is coming. I told him I would get here as soon as he can. He cant do it alone, has to wait for other workers to unload. I'm still next on the schedule. Hes got the truck with my stuff. Driving alone. Interesting when I call his phone number on my cell phone reads Washington state. Hes a long way from home. So now it could be another couple of hours, but for sure I'm next.

I'm probably older than you but I can remember carnival used to start cheers day 1 when it hit international water. People posted on cc to wait to purchase it the next day because you don't get your money's worth. I think carnival got tired of doing it several ways and just decided to wait to day 2 to start cheers. Like the solo supplement on 1A, this was long in the past. Royal has a special limited menu including a texas beer you can only get while in texas waters. Their drink packages start immediately as soon as you board. Royal lots away their texas stamped beers and liquors and goes to their regular menu as soon as they reach international waters. It is odd how every line does it a little differently. My issue with carnival is they dont carry a reasonable german wine. I ordered it twice and they keep giving me some super sweet Italian wine. They obviously are not very good on wine if they think they taste similar. I tried cheers twice and just wasnt for me.

THIS!! I remember when vista came out many didnt like it. Now they seem to be ok with it but changes made from previous carnival ships. Used to be you coukd walk thru deck 5, I really enjoyed walking through and seeing the ocean. Starting with vista they closed up the view. They cut the theater in half, now if you are late you are apt to sit behind a pole. Also the size of the comedy club was cut. They have to mick everyone out and you can get in line for the next show. The havana area was a big hit and to some if you book the Havana area it's worth it, but the dream class still has the best spa and T pool. I also prefer the conquest class. ..vista and the new italian are my bottom, last choices. Vista has the bbq outside and the last time I did it, the wind was whipping and drying it out. The next ship of this class they moved it inside. I've done vista at least twice before you say idk what I'm talking about. It's just not my cup of tea. It's only worth it if you are booking Havana area.

Well he finally told me more just now. The lady up in Jacksonville woukdnt let them start until noon. So they coukdnt start her job until this afternoon, it's not because the job was extra extra big. I got bad news for him with this slow elevator I spent 2 hours going up and down and didnt quite empty my car, the elevator up to the 8th floor is that slow. And he wouldnt be the only one using it, residents too. Only the 1 elevator. He said ok about 8 am he will come. I said I wouldnt mind if he came earlier. I think a better chance he can park that huge truck and someone else isnt there unloading. I'm monitoring the chances of rain here by the hour, today would have been better. The light tonight is wierd on the bldgs across the water. It's as if they are lit up ultra white tonight. One more day .... fingers crossed.

Good advice about taking pictures, though I had someone in here before I arrived who painted agreeable grey and his daughter's cleaning company cleaned and steam cleaned everything. It would be documenting the walls are perfect and this place is empty and clean as a whistle. I called the guy just now and he said they are looking at the map. They must be thinking what Arzeena said about how long it's going to take to drive. They finally finished the jacksonville drive and now calculating if they can make it here before 8 pm. I assume jacksonville has some kind of rush hour and she is right, they cant make it by 8 pm. I didnt ask what time they open the gates in the morning. I could go downstairs and hope someone knows I can ask. He said they would look at the map and call me right back.

Wow I didnt realize it was that far. I'd say from this that I should assume they arent co ing to ight. I tried to call the trucker phone number who called me last night and he called me back about 2:30 pm and said I was still on his list today. The Jacksonville job was a really big job. I asked if he could give me a estimate when he would arrive.. he said no, still a ,ot more to do before they could leave. That must be a full pack job on a huge house. I told him the gates here closed and locked at 8 pm. He said he was still planning on coming. It's going on 6 pm here now. I'd say the chances are slim and none the truck is arriving here by 8 pm tonight and after that too late. The weather forecast for tomorrow for rain is even worse than today. I was afraid to jump in the shower and moved stuff around all ready for them today. Moved the night stand and cardboard box. The night stand is really too heavy but I can bring the cardboard box back in from the balcony. A small storm is crossing into tampa and tomorrow crossing the state tonight to go up into South Carolina. Probably wouldnt be a hurricane, just a tropical storm. It would have been a lot better to come in today. My hopes are dashed they will make it tonight before 8 pm. Wellmthanks for the information.

I think there is some confusion. Izumi has 2 sections. Both have sit down restaurants. The stir fry is a separate eating area from the sit down side people call the sushi side. In your planner you can see the sit down sushi side can be booked separate. It has lots more stuff than sushi but it does have sushi as a menu choice. The sit down sushi side, pick 1 small, 2 large and 1 dessert. It also allows you to buy ala carte. If I was paying for the hibachi side, I'd do the ala carte sushi another time. The areas are separate eating areas and separate menus., 1 japanese soup is free, bit ginger a different soup from thr small choices. The large entrees are all kinds of choice.. twice imgot the poki bowl, once a double poki blwl. I love poki. Hawaiian square cute raw fish. This place adds salmon, I ask them for no salmon, and fried rice and green seaweed salad. To memits a full meal. Infant eat 2 large entrees. 1 dessert. Most have said they were allowed to sub a small choice instead of a dessert. I've done this twice.

I tried to take a picture and edit my last post. It said too late. Sorry for a 3rd post. Calm calm. Clear to the left is the veterans museum, plus a library of war books some free and some can be checked out. A museum of war stuff. My bil is a vet, give him a place to hang out. Also a DAV room where you can go to make claims. From the museum out to the right is 63 acres of lake with a walking path. I walked some there yesterday morning. You can also rent a kayak or paddle boat. My cousin who is better at maps saysnits a smile to walk around this lake. There is also a huge reserve not far, 4.5 miles in, 4.5 miles out. I havent checked it out. But this lake is where I talked tomthe fishermen yesterday so I could tell my bil and his daughter who fishes. Maybe you can see its pouring rain, the rain clouds dont look black but for sure it's raining hard.

Oh no!! It just started raining. If the area along the area to park is taken he will have to park outside the gate and truck things in in the rain plus a extra charge. Sun was out all morning but nope he had to do another job first. Now its pouring rain. I knew it was coming in from the south. South has a flood warning. By tomorrow will be even worse here. They say worrying never helped anything. Telling myself to just stay calm. Eat something. It will be a long long afternoon. I'm sure it's at least a hours drive here and no call they are on their way. I tried to drive all the valuables myself. This is just the stuff from a tiny 2 bedroom house. I just keep repeating calm calm.

When I called he said he needed a deposit. That attachment sent later says it was disclosed that this was a brokerage fee to sell the move to movers. Lie. Saying we need a percentage as a deposit is not the same as saying it was disclosed it was a brokerage fee just for selling movers the contract. It was a partial pack, meaning it was sold that they woukd partially pack up y stuff. Movers kept acting like this was news to them. I was shipping 1 bedroom and a 2nd bedroom of stuff including 80 small boxes already packed. Theh told me 2 to 12 days. Then it was business days, then it was business days counting from the delivery date I selected. I said friday may 31 would give me time to rest. Ok may 31. Twice the moving guy said he couldnt promise delivery that exact day. At no time did he or anyone else say to me the 12 business days starts from the delivery date. I think it's a normal assumption to think the 12 days starts from the date of pick up. Didnt cross my ind to ask when the 12 business days count starts. Email said all drawers have ro be empty. Another lie. Movers said makes no difference to them. Just takes more wardrobe space and cubic feet and them packing work to hang up my tee shirts. I moved from a 1107 sf teensy 2 bedroom house. Most of it was a very long large kitchen. 2 small closets. 1 bedroom set plus a 2nd triple dresser. I had 2 built in desks in both bedrooms so not even a desk to move. If this was a large home I could understand but this was a tiny house to be near my parents I bought about 3 years ago in a very tight market. How they have 10 stars on google someone is only submitting high or fake reviews. I saw someone above mentioned BBB. I will also submit a complaint to them. My stuff has sat on a hot truck 3 weeks as of yesterday. And including the new charges this 18 wheel trucker yesterday now is adding. If he cant park next to elevator and the $200 elevator fee. I was told for sure no charges for elevator. But I admit having 1 out of 2 out of service will be a pita. Still no call, idk how big of a job they had up in Jacksonville. It's just about Noon here. It took over 3 hours to pack in the first place because they were taking things apart and wrapping them for safety. Even the legs of my kitchen table were removed. It's a tiny eat in kitchen table though. Hopefully I hear soon. I'd say it's a good hour from jacksonville to here. If they dont arrive soon they will be working in the dark. Allowing a hour drive to here. Waiting still too hear they are on the way.

I'd call crown and anchor anyway and get it resolved so her last name matches her crown and anchor number. I'd want that fixed anyway. It needs to be updated anyway so it matches.

The folks who arrange the moving collect a fee I now know. I got a attachment calling it a brokerage fee. They dont really let you talk to the movers who are separate. I got a email saying things like have all drawers empty. Which was why all my old tee shirts were hung up and then the movers arrive and said they dont care if there is stuff in the drawers. Hung up empty hangers and tee shirts in wardrobe boxes. Then said you used all 7 wardrobe boxes estimated. They give you a estimate. Based on cubic feet so a bunch of extra wardrobe boxes is costly. Twice quality assurance talked to me and went over what I was shipping. They say the estimate is based on cubic feet in the truck. Had I to do this again I'd have left the sofa and arm chair there. I naively thought since they have the list to be moved everything was included and I could take my time looking for a new set once ingot here. I could easily have cut down on cubic feet had I known how inaccurate the estimate was. My living room here is oddly shaped. And had I any idea how they count BUSINESS days from the delivery date I gave them not from the pick up date. I for sure woukdnt have brought them. And I'd have had all those tee shirts I wear in drawers. And the hanging empty plastic hangers in the wardrobe boxes pissed me off big time. One of the 4 guys was new that was doing it. 4 guys are hard to watch continually. Emlty plastic hangers throw them in a box or out. Dont use wardrobe box space for empty hangers. I will for sure be taking pictures when they arrive. Right now I dont want to threaten them and delay delivery. My biggest fear is 3 weeks in the heat stuff is melted. Worried about my antiques. Art work, a oil painting too big for my car. I've had it 50 years. Supposed to be by a famous artist who paints roses. Mostly at this point I'm worried about my stuff in the heat. How these folks can have 10 stars something is faked imo or they had better experiences. Also the folks who sell the move are separate from the movers. This is the closest I got to a contract. A disclaimer that the deposit I paid was actually a brokerage fee. The calls were verbal, not in writing, so I cant prove I was told there would be no elevator fee. I was going to tip anyway. This elevator is so slow I knew was a issue. I'm just going to tell him call it a tip or a fee, but it's a tip he was going to get anyway. The elevator situation here with 1 elevator not working of 2 for the whole bldg and this afternoon when its busiest is going to take forever. This was also a partial pack since they packed up my closets and some stuff in the kitchen plus my 80 ish boxes. So the pick up guys had it worse since they packed some stuff. Same fee both ends. Right ow I just want to know my stuff is ok. Some might not be their fault. That tornado went thru right where I live by the next morning and power was off in my area. I spent yesterday morning arguing with my buyer about the tree from next door that crushed the fence between us. Title company says AS IS. He was demanding I call the city code compliance and make the neighbor share his insurance payment I'm sure he got. Dont think there is a law that can make a neighbor fix a fence between back yards. Its lucky the contract says AS IS. I'm selling it under what I have in it. Closing set for june 15. Title company insists on a wet signature. Is sending a notary to my house. Says it has to be a wet signature for warranty.

I just heard from the guy driving the 18 wheeler truck for delivery. He has a job in the morning up in jacksonville and doesnt know how long it will take. And then me. Its forecast to rain. A 18 wheeler is a lot bigger truck than came to pick me up. Hes saying if he cant park with 75 feet of the elevator a big add on and another $200 for the elevator. I was going to tip at least $200 for the elevator but just saying they specifically told me there was no extra charge for the elevator as long as they didnt have to use the stairs. So first a additional more than $1500 when they arrived to pick up, and now a extra charge if someone else is parked next to the elevator. On the other side is the elevator trailer idk if I can bribe them if necessary to park there. During the weekend it was completely empty on both sides now one side has a long trailer for the elevator company. Now it's a 18 wheeler coming and extra charge if he cant park right there close to the elevator and o one else is deliveries or dropping off groceries. Praying it's not pouring rain. And I mean that sincerely, praying. Just when I got those boxes today and a night stand a neighbor was getting rid of. Solid wood. I can almost not lick it up it's so heavy. What I have coming is pretty darn heavy. 2 triple dressers both with mirrors a 4 poster bed, a tall boy dresser. Sofa and arm chair I dont care if theh deliver or toss. I planned to replace them anyway as soon as I looked around. The mall is right close but just walking over there in the afternoon heat and humidity takes away my breath in the afternoons here. I told him I wish they could become here first in the morning before it gets so hot. Every time they do something they up the price. They for sure specifically said there wasnt a extra charge for the elevator. Now it's at least $200 more plus he me toned $75, maybe to park the 18 wheeler. I'd rate them a inus 2 on communication. Oh and remember I called in last week and the girl said she would tell them 48 hours notice so I had plenty of time to tell them to pad the elevator? After hours tonight for tomorrow afternoon delivery isnt even 24 hours notice. I just left notice for the maintenance man. This is kinda like the email to empty all the drawers so then they fill all the wardrobe boxes with empty hangers and tee shirts that could easily have been in drawers. Movers said they didnt care if there was stuff in the drawers. Minus 2 on communication imo is generous. Well seems like we have delivery scheduled for a rainy.day. if things arent totally melted and ruined I'll be happy. Like a large oil painting. I really had no idea my stuff woukd sit for weeks in the heat.. but delivery ..rain or not. Please let this go ok.
