Bon Voyage! Weather looks good for sailaway, will be watching for your ship sail by this afternoon.

looking forward to following you on your travels and adventures/

Thanks in advance for your blog, I'm looking forward to having so many blogs to read this year. I've missed them in the last couple of years

looking forward to reading about your travels. M

There are sharks in this area but most of the sightings are later in the year when the water is warmer. Late May and June there are usually shots from the news helicopters of sharks migrating just offshore. its very rare for any shark/human interaction in this area, most "bites" occur further north. This time of year its not unusual to see manatees swimming to in the ocean around the warm water areas of FPL power stations. Enjoy your time here. looking forward to your adventure starting. M

Condolences to you and your extended family. Almost too much to bear on one day.

Looking forward to following your cruise again. Hopefully you will have a smooth and enjoyable 128 day cruise. No stopping half way this year. Mary

My husband once brought his Mother's passport and proudly presented it. Fortunately we live near the port and he had time to drive home and get his, he was upset that he had to pay for parking twice in the same day and lost his great parking space.

Just got back from vision yesterday. Two sea days after last port back to PE. First day was very bumpy and pools were overflowing onto the decks. Great wave action. Closed in the afternoon in the solarium. Final day pools were all closed and drained in the morning, hot tubs were still open.

Hi Sid, Just got back from a cruise yesterday and am officially caught up with your travels. Am enjoying your trip immensely, hopefully you will take time for yourself, we will be here whenever you post. Loved reading about your time in Miami. I live in SoFlo and visiting relatives are always shocked I do not go to Miami often. Somehow when I'm on vacation a $19 cocktail doesn't seem that expensive but on a work weeknight it does. Looking forward to your San Juan and St Maarten posts, was there last week and had a great time.

St Kitts today required ID leave the port area to return to the ship. When I got my passport renewed last time I I also got a passport card that I use for ID. Don't like to take my driver's license as it is a pain to replace if it's lost.

This was required at Port security not getting on the ship, only Seapass there.

Just got back on the Vision in San Juan. As always at this port needed to show ID and Seapass. I remember that id always is required at Nassau also.

This was back last week on Silhouette, was very enjoyable drinks were plentiful and finger foods varied and delicious

Just got back from a 10day on Celebrity Silhouette as matched Elite. Don't miss the breakfast for elites and up daily. Can get coffees and mimosas bloody Mary's and bellinis No hot food but the salmon bagels were great. There were a couple of meet the officer type gatherings with very plentiful drinks and snacks, well worth attending. I really enjoyed the cruise, food and service in MDR was excellent, felt the whole cruise was a step above my recent cruise experiences. Have booked the reflection for next month after Vision next week.

Do people usually tip for drinks served during Happy Hour?

@ottahand7 Bed sores are the worst and with all the pain your DB is having I'm sure they will get worse as he spends so much time lying down. A few years ago I was peripherally involved with a study that was using Manuka honey and some people got good results. I don't know if there was any conclusion as I retired before the study ended but maybe it's something you could talk to his medical team about. Hopefully he will improve at the rehab facility. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/manuka-honey-benefits/

I was just about to post this as it is what finally worked for me!

Are you thinking of Samba grill in the solarium at night?

i heard that Virgin Voyages has an outdoor boxing ring.

@rafinmd Harvest Festival (United Kingdom) Harvest Festival Observed by United Kingdom Type Cultural, religious. Date The Sunday closest to the harvest moon Frequency Annually The Harvest Festival of Thanksgiving is a celebration of the harvest and food grown on the land in the United Kingdom. It is about giving thanks for a successful crop yield over the year as winter starts to approach. The festival is also about giving thanks for all the good and positive things in people's lives, such as family and friendships. Harvest Festivals have traditionally been held in churches but also in schools and sometimes in pubs. Some estates and farms used to hold the harvest festival in a barn. In some towns and villages the harvest festivals are set so that the different churches do not have it on the same day. People bring in produce from their garden, allotment or farm, and even tinned and packaged food. Often there is a Harvest Supper at which some of the produce may be eaten. Typically surplus produce is given away to a local charity, hospital or children's home, or auctioned for charity

@JaneRetired Great idea on 2 of device charges, DH either forgets his or brings the wrong one (shaver charger one time!!) And then uses mine, not a problem if we are in the same room but difficult if we have to quarantine separately. M

Living in So Flo we always make a thermos of coffee before going to bed when a storm is expected, just in case. Also fill the bathtub with water, can be used for flushing!! With a generator you should be fine but during Andrew we lost our generator due to palm trees falling on it. The coffee was greatly appreciated Good luck and keep us informed when you can. Mary.
