From the Galveston webcam, Dream is passing by the Vista.

I have to leave soon to go to a dinner for my mother’s 80th. This better be resolved by then so I don’t have to constantly be hitting refresh on my phone to get updates. (I’m sure you want it resolved quickly, too.)

While the theory that the porter thought you were getting OFF the ship sounds OK, it also doesn’t make sense. Why would a passenger give a porter their luggage after they’re already off the ship and out of the luggage area?

Someone brought this on board this week?

Getting closer.

Class of ‘81.

I had to look up JG’s, as it wasn’t there when I lived there. I lived near the intersection of Abrams-Forest. My HS was Lake Highlands.

I, too, lived not too far from the original Chili’s. The line to get in there sometimes was ridiculous, but worth it. Two other great burger places along Greenville Ave. were the Feed Bag and the Filling Station.

No. Woody’s is a BBQ joint. There’s a location on both the southbound side and the northbound side of I-45 in Centerville - same exit. There’s a gas station on both sides as well. Woody’s is busy, but Buc-ees is entirely too busy for my taste (no pun intended).

Exit 164 in Centerville.

I MUCH prefer Woody’s than Buc-ees.

On the Celebration last week, the chat feature rarely worked. Every time I tried to open the chat function, I just kept getting a screen that said, “trying to connect.”

Just got back from the Celebration, and our fan was in our checked luggage with no problem. Of course, we embarked during the fiasco of the port of Miami being closed/delayed, so I’m not sure if our experience would have been different with a “regular” embarkation day.

I’m close to having that muster briefing beat. I was in the Celebration on 6/25 that was delayed by the closing or the port of Miami. Once we boarded at 9:15 PM…..yes….PM, we went to muster. The guy scanned my card and handed it back to me and said, “thanks, you’re done.” Ummmm….WHAT? He said, “you’re gold…you’ve been through this before and know what you’re doing. Thanks.” Adios, amigo.

I was thrilled to see Billy D. Washington on the Celebration last week. I went to 2 of his shows. He didn’t disappoint.

Just got off the Celebration yesterday. We never buy the internet package, and only the use the Hub app with the chat feature. Therefore, we had our phones in Airplane mode and used the ship’s Wi-Fi. We were quite surprised to find that we could get texts (and no pictures) with other iPhone users. At times, I had to tell my family that I was putting the phone away so that I could enjoy my vacation.

Did you happen to spend a lot of time in the Alchemy Bar? I was there quite regularly myself, and I overheard a woman talking about her sone and talking about several upcoming cruises.

Wow! I played in Cabo (Cabo Real), but that was on a land vacation. I’m getting on the Celebration tomorrow, 6/25/23, to celebrate my 30th anniversary. I can say with 100% certainty that I wouldn’t be celebrating my 30th if I tried to play golf on all of those cruise stops.

Megan - I also check in on the chat function of the Galveston cruise cameras. One guy just posted that he got back from his Greek isles cruise last week. He said he won’t go back, because Greece is not a clean country with a lot of litter and tagging. I didn’t see that from any of your pictures, and didn’t see you make any of those observations.

Pretty sure you don't need to explain your parenting techniques to strangers in an online forum. Speaks more to them feeling it necessary to comment to you about how you're raising YOUR child.

Self control is a challenge for my wife in the casino and me at the bars while on a cruise. (I don't have an answer to your question.)

Whoa! Been a while since I’ve seen you on here. I always enjoyed reading your reviews. Hope you’re well.

Sid’s next meal.

We’ve stayed in the Brickell area previously before a cruise, and are staying there again for the Celebration 2 weeks from tomorrow. I know there are a lot of bars and restaurants in the area. We are getting into Miami at about 5:00pm on the 24th, so not a lot of time for sightseeing for us.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
