island lady

Wow...that is one I missed. Wonder if it created a "rouge wave"? I live near Cape Canaveral.

Aww...thanks! I will be joining the "virtual World cruisers" rank in a couple of days. 🙂

Most likely. 😉 Though he has to be careful to avoid the awful soot dust up there. Did not pay attention and laid his cover up new shorts on a spot of soot...burned a hole in them...ruined. 😠

Not sure why test bookings for July 2025 in PC....I already booked Oct/Nov. 2025 B2B on Adventure out of PC a few days ago. Strange release of bookings.

Yup, that's the one. Would love to meet you. 🙂

Welcome aboard! Hope you have a fantabulous cruise. 🙂 And don't sell yourself short...you will be great posting!

LOL...I asked that when we boarded one of the several life boat tenders, but the lady at the check out told me Captain Stig has to wait for the new captain to board...which he was doing with his wife and many suitcases that had came off that first lifeboat tender, when we were line to reboard it.

LOL...yup, probably! Proper send off. 😄 He just made his "good-bye" speech. Will miss him, but see him again soon when we get to Barcelona. Just cleared by port authority, and first call to tender tickets #1 and #2 to proceed to gangway. Bucky still working on getting ready.

So OK...interesting. Looks like we are using our life boats AND the shore side tenders. Cool! 🙂

Current temperature 70 degrees...going up to around 74 later today. A bit hazy, some clouds, but beautiful! Pulling up near the Carnival ship on the other side right now...looking forward to going ashore. 🙂 Time to pack my little "port purse" and head up to the Concierge Lounge for escort. We are using our own life boats for tendering into the marina.

This is a good sign...pilot dropped off to us just now. Still heading in. Was treated to several Whale pods a mile or so off the port side during breakfast, and just now one fully breached out of the water right in front of the departing pilot boat. Sooo cool! Did not have phone in hand to take picture in time. Looks like this is a win for tendering as we get closer. One Carnival ship already tendered in. About an hour ago we saw Navigator crossing into the horizon coming from ports further south. Two Princess ships (of course 😉 )...also heading back north. Probably playing the "Love Boat" theme as they left. 😄 Did not have to stand in line for tender tickets yesterday, due to suite's escort to tenders today. Score perk! 😉

Current position, coming into Cabo. Seas are a tad rougher than predicted, with deck 12 and half of deck 5 closed this morning. Sunrise off the aft end.

Lady Zolt and others will still be on board after LA to continue, but myself, @CSHS1979, and @pstone1 are all leaving on Sunday. Hope the rest keeps this going, and I will be one of my fellow "virtual cruisers" after that until July. 🙂

Thanks! 🥰 And I hope to rejoin with my observations again in Barcelona!

LOL...would have loved that as well. 🙂 We are extremely booked up next year, starting off right away in January with a B2B Viking that circumnavigates all of Australia and NZ with Taz and Bali tossed in. Then Radiance B2B Alaska followed by Northwest passage B2B on Viking, and then Adventure B2B. Still have December 2025 to fill in yet. 😉

Thanks...did not know that either. Did not got to he Captain's corner. So we will see him again in Barcelona. 🙂

Aww...thanks! Definitely mixed feelings leaving on Sunday (all cruise ends for me are sad)...but will be good to get home, and good to see Wonder again. 😉

I actually did not realize we were waiting for Carib later 2025 sailings. I stumbled on Adventure out of PC for late Oct. 2025 for a B2B today. Went down to Next Cruise here on Serenade and booked it. Had no idea it had not been out for awhile...no wonder lots of cabins available. Thought it might be due to Star taking all reservations away. 😉

LOL...transferring over to Wonder in two weeks, which will be just after we give our contractor some $$ to start the next remodel phase. 😄

Thanks...I hope so as well. 🙂

Laura is leaving in 4 days.

Looking at the reviews for Solomon Landing. Right on the marina....will check them all out. Thanks!

Mushrooms...mushrooms. 😄

Oooohh...nice! I love the Odyssey! Hope you had a fantabulous time! 🤗

Indeed it has. As they say...time flies when you are having fun...and we did have fun. 😊 Sunday the 11th is "zero out"..... 😉 Delta to Orlando, shuttle service to home by around midnight if all goes well.
