island lady

Perhaps ask pax on the roll call for this week's sailing?

Agree...love 150. Going there for dinner tonight. Hope I did not jinx myself. 😮

Waiting to board Harmony yesterday, the suites/Pinnacle area waiting area, was surprised they called "Pinnacles only" before suites to board. First time I have seen that with this ship. Some of the suites people were vocally upset. Which is silly anyway...matter of a few more minutes.

Oops...sorry. Though you meant T#1 (Harmony/Indy). Have not cruised out of T#5 in many years. We were on Mariner, but it was the very first of the 6/8 cruises some months ago when it left out of T#1, but then returned to T#5. We had parking shuttle, so no transfer necessary then.

Had dinner in the MDR last night here on Harmony, which we usually never do, but wanted to try it. Food and service surprisingly good actually, but wow...the families with their uncontrolled screaming children were unreal. Had one with 3 young boys next to us, of which were fussy and one that never stopped screaming. Doing 150 tonight, then back to CK for the rest of the dinners this week.

Bucky is looking for his hot dog and "you want flies with that"....lunch on Coco Cay in just a bit. 😉 Actually not much flies, but wow...those "beach chickens" AKA Seagulls will surround you, and help themselves if you are not watching your plate. 😄

We are (surprisingly) docked up at Coco Cay right now, and the sun is out. Though very warm and humid, I would suspect we might get an afternoon thundershower. Last night around 3 am, cruising just south of Grand Bahama...we went through one doozy of a thunderstorm...lots of lightning, wind, and rain. Though I think most slept through it. 😉 Calm seas, and happy pax on the island right now. Will wander on shore in a bit, do our walk, and pick up a couple of Coco Locos. 😄 Tonight we head west, instead of east. Got an email from our private tour that we had booked, that it is now cancelled and refunded. Will try again when we go there in January.

We checked to be sure our cards worked at the door...but will most likely be the only time we visit there. LOL! 😄

You just have the magic touch...and the food fairy is looking after you. 😄 😄

Yes, indeed currently on Harmony. T#1, where she departs (as well as Indy) is still the same as always. We drop our luggage with the porters, then proceed forward, taking a sharp left U-turn up into the garage. Up the ramp is a pay as you enter, manned by an attendant who takes your Credit Card, (Credit card only...no cash)..and gives you a receipt. Turn right and find your spot. Easy peasy...enjoy your cruise! 🙂

Except for the Suites/Pinnacle line to the far right before you get into the terminal. 😉

Currently docked up at Coco Cay...the sun is out...but very warm and humid. Guessing some rain later today. Very surprised we were able to come here today. Westbound tomorrow though. Went through quite the lightning storm with lots of wind around 3 am this morning. Calm seas now...lots of happy cruisers already on the island.

I will think of you Mike when I see someone order a banana daquiri. 😄 Cheers and thanks my friend! Just loaded the overstuffed bags into the back of my little SUV. Mmmmm...time for Bloody Marys at Grills after we drop our bags with the porters this morning. 😄

Going west...bye bye Fiona! 😉 Thanks Dave..."hi" to Kathy!

We are on from 2/25-3/3 (I actually had to check). 😉

Me too. Harmony changed from eastern to western with a stop there next week. Found out from another poster that they were closed until mid Oct. 😞

Closed for the hurricane season. Taking reservations starting Oct. 12. 2022.

We love to mix it up. Each ship has it's charm...older, newer, bigger...smaller. Nice to experience it all. But if I had to choose only one class of ship...it would be Radiance class. Not too big..not too small. like the ships of old with a touch more elegance. Luckily I am happy to bounce around from ship to ship. Dear departed Pinnacle friend of ours once told me when I asked which ship she loves the best...."The one I am currently on". Smart lady...and I intend to keep her legacy going ...as to follow the same.

Especially now with ships sailing full and RCI having a whole lot of catching up to do to get back to making money again. 😉

Check in times need to be followed. They have pax in separate roped off areas as to their assigned check in time. Especially if you have an early check in time, they will enforce it. Only separate line is for suites and Pinnacles. Wonder on over for Grills (next door) Bloody Marys! 😉

Bring it on! 😉

Makes sense...thanks for the update! 🙂 Even if they were open during this time...probably would have been booked up weeks ago.

I love the Jewel and her 3 sisters! 🥰 Have Serenade booked for Dec., Jewel in January and then March, plus Serenade again for a couple of quite a bit longer trips in mid Dec 2023. 😉

It is. Got the email yesterday. We are skipping St. Maarten and St. Thomas in favor of going totally west to Cozumel and Costa Maya. Had to cancel my private tour in St. Maarten...and hope for a refund. I am actually shocked that they found room this late at those busy docks there. 😮

It was pretty violent yesterday with the lighting and heavy downpours here yesterday afternoon. Not too bad today, but still predicting rain. Enjoy the rest of your cruise...and safe journey back. 🙂 Thanks for bringing her back home for us!
