Nice. When we lived on Merritt Island for 20 years, we simply called a taxi to take us to the port...a whole 3 mile trip. 😉 We got to leave our car in the garage. Now... we are 20 miles away and drive to the port, parking in the garage. No big deal, but do miss that short drive.

Thanks! So sweet of you to say so. ☺️ Hopefully we will get lucky and see them. 🙂

OK...that makes sense. Cool...enjoy your cruise. We are on "Connie" for the first time on Celebrity later this year. Really looking forward to it. Interestingly...even being Pinnacle on RCI...we are Elite status match on Celebrity. 😉

How do you have access to the Diamond Lounge (now called the Crown Lounge) if this is your first cruise with Royal???

Was all blocked off and they made us go all the way out again after dropping off our checked bags, rejoining the massive traffic back up, just to come all the way back around the circle again.... before going up the ramp. Not sure why they were doing that. It was a mess. Once up the ramp, very easy to find a spot. Maybe it was just early, but it was almost 10 am. Usually the parking garage opens at 9:30.

As many cruises as we have been on out of PC...we have never been lucky enough to watch a rocket or (years ago) shuttle launch from the ship...just land based. Supposedly one just after 5 pm today, hope we get lucky this time!

OK...we will. When we were last on board in November, she told us she was leaving on vacation and would not be here when we boarded today. Will have a better chance to talk her later...she was slammed as usual being embarkation day.

Captain Rob...who just made his sail away announcement.

Oh we so remember the "boat ramp follies" at Grills years ago. Best show around. 😄

Was overjoyed to find that our favorite CK hostess, Grace, was back on board from vacation. She is the best!!! 🙂

Ahhh...back to the SL and CK this week. 🙂 A beer and a Kim Crawford SB while waiting for lunch, which was a very good creole style chicken. 🙂

Weird set up trying to pull into parking garage this morning, but easy drop off of our bags at 9:45 am. Enjoyed our Grills Bloody Marys with a good view of our home away from home this week. 😉

Have always wanted to see Momma Mia, my sister did when she did a "girls weekend out". And I have never been on Allure. Sooooo yesterday I booked local Allure on the 4 night... to finally sail that ship, very easy to get to being home ported (for now anyway) 20 miles from our home, and....big desire to see Momma Mia. 🙂

Awww...thanks! Bucky and I do seem to have a cruise addiction. 😉

High energy and lots of light show on Wonder with Intense Aqua show, but some don't like it since it does not have much of the original high dive display, as it was originally intended. Me I like it, since it is different. Will see again very shortly, just about to leave for the port. 😉

I like the sunset/sunrise shots as well....and in fact is my Avatar picture. It is sunrise coming into Nassau Bahamas. 😉 Don't forget to look for the "green flash". 🙂

It sure doesn't take much for them to close that deck. Very frustrating since that is my walking deck of choice early in the morning. 😞

Oh drats.... 😉

Will take good care of her and hope to bring her in safely to pick you up! Have a fantabulous cruise! 🙂

Thanks! Picture so cute...and wish I were that cute! 😄

LOL!! Way too funny, and very much right on. He will never grown up...my large child. 😄

I have actually never seen the kids pool open from Miami further. Very limited kiddos on the ship.

Awww...Hi sweetie Do you think Drew is a bit lonely without the three of us? 😄

Thanks my friend....And I always love your reviews as well. 🙂

Thanks...though we are starting to leave the big ladies....Wonder will always have a place in my heart. 🙂
