We're in the same position! We're driving from VA's Shenandoah Valley (which is about an equidistance from Baltimore and Norfolk.)  We have the drive to Baltimore on the 5th, with a Park and Fly hotel deal, a flight on the 6th to Tampa, and concerns about getting back to our vehicle if we go to Norfolk.  I keep telling myself, "one day at a time"...

 

The most important concern is for the loss of life and the economic impact on Baltimore and the surrounding areas, as well as the supply chain issues. But that doesn't stop my anxiety over plans and arrangements. 😟

Last night, we reserved a car from Norfolk airport to be dropped off at BWI if necessary. Did make sure that we can cancel the reservation if needed. Figure that covers getting back at least to Baltimore.

I feel that those of us on the repositioning cruise are really in flux. We are driving to Baltimore on April 5, flying to Tampa on April 6, then supposedly returning to Baltimore on April 21, where we would get our car and drive home. If I have to change any of those arrangements I hope Carnival lets us know soon. Unfortunately, I changed our hotel booking to non refundable only a few days ago in Baltimore…of course I did! Add to this stress is the sadness over the loss of life from the bridge and I find myself just spinning in circles.

I’m not sure that I’ll ever understand this program. I used to be Prime tier and had free drinks in the casino. Now, I’m listed as Choice with 1,300 points and my husband is Prime. I guess my question is can I change my status gambling on my May cruise, or will I have to wait till the program resets again?

Alternately, is there a number of points that you can gamble to reach free drinks like on Carnival?

Thanks,

Maryann

Hi Megan, can you pay for the day pass with a credit card?

We are getting on when you get back, what sort of temperature are you having today? Are you finding the casino more smoke filled than an average Carnival ship? Thank you!

cheers,

Thanks Megan for another action packed Live! It was great reading while we were stuck inside in our current artic conditions. Can’t wait to see what is next..

Cheers, Maryann

Thank you for taking us along on the last ride, it was fun! If you do decide to write a book, or pen a memoir let us know, until then…

Cheers,

It already exists, but I'm not making any money off it either yet...

Maybe look into some sort of sponsorship from a good tequila brand…a traveling tequila blog?

Hi there! I know you are currently out to sea, but hope to pick your brain. I keep reading about the extreme smoke smell on this ship in the casino and the surrounding areas. I know that you participate at the tables so can you comment on your experience? I’m used to the normal casino smoke smells but the reviews seem more over the top. Thank you!

Cheers,

Maryann

I don’t remember ever seeing this before. 

What in the name of all that’s holy is that supposed to be?

Grow up, but never stop being a kid... I could use one of these right about now after only a half day at work.

 

 

 

 

Favorite commercial ever..madam, how do you do? Eek, there’s a man in my bathtub…lol..

I will be living vicariously thru you and the other live posters until my February 23 cruise.  We took 5 months off from cruising for lots of family stuff, sons wedding, 2nd reception in California, Christmas, grand daughters 3rd birthday…I’m exhausted! Like you we are disappointed in Carnival recently but hope the break will help with our perceptions. Hope you all have a blast!

cheers,

Maryann

Mobile bar for next week has been secured.

 

 

 

Off to do my last mile for the day on the track and then we'll talk about dinner.

They don’t hold onto your alcohol purchases when you are b2b? If you can receive your purchases that’s a great deal!

At Alchemy Bar!

Omg, absolutely love your dress!

For any Carnival comedy buffs out there, the comedian known as Geechy guy passed away yesterday in his sleep at the age of 59. 
We had just had the pleasure of seeing him last month on the Magic and he was truly one of a kind. I know he’s entertaining at the comedy club in the sky, but definitely gone too soon.

Not sure where we are this morning (or where we are going) but this was our walk this morning. 

Are you on the pride or the legend? The legend shows running east from the US and has yet to turn north.

The flying Scotsman just came on and said cabins were ready. 😬 Not sure about that. 

Hope this isn’t indicative of the rest of the cruise. I love the new big ships but the understaffing, the long lines at every venue really made us go back to the smaller ones. I really wish they would build new smaller ships. Looking forward to your review Megan, always happy to see you and Mr. Megan cruise!

Willdra, I am literally dying here…we were on your cruise! I can’t believe that I didn’t know this and get to meet you. I was going to post that we loved Cookie too and went back to check my dates and…sigh…

Maryann

Yay…Willdra is back!

Great review! Loved traveling along with you and B.
