[Zlasmcruising]

I'm back if anyone has any questions that I can answer. BTW, there is a library open at certain times in one of the lounges...Bliss I think.

Are you saying the first 2 bags are free as in carry on or luggage?

 

You can check-in 2 luggages with Southwest free... http://www.southwest.com/bagsflyfree/ but the standard rules for size/weight apply -->

Weight and Size Allowance:

Maximum weight is 50 pounds and maximum size is 62 inches (length + width + height) per checked piece of luggage.

ok my fellow stalkers. I leave in the morning for Miami! I'll likely check in on Friday before we head out, but while I'm gone, make sure to stalk me! :)

 

Western Caribbean or bust!!

:D

 

Of course we will all EXPECT a full report in minute detail when you return. Especially post those dailies.

 

It's only what us NESSers have come to want ;)

We are salivating.

 

ENJOY YOU TRIP. May your feet be happy on the warm sands of Mexico and Roatan.

..."when you return"... my butt! This is NESS!!! We expect real-time updates while onboard! Post cruise reviews are for losers!

 

(except for me who cannot afford the onboard internet fees.......)

Thanks for the info. I will be checking into this. It just may be cost effective to book with them. :)

Hi stalkers!

 

Some nasty weather here in MIA, but we're liking our suite at the Hilton. It's about 3x the size of a BA cabin and I have a great view of the port. Hope the weather clears soon

 

 

[pcreek]

It's looking like that here in upstate NY, too...minus the nicer view, of course!

 

Just think...bad weather only gives more time for exploring inside EPIC!

 

Have a great cruise!

Great pictures nice view!!:D

[sdmike]

Here are a few shots for everyone. I'll get some in the morning when Epic arrives. What I have to go through to get pictures up! I'm taking a picture, transferring it to my ipad, plugging my ipad into my laptop (no sd card reader), and then uploading my pictures through my blackberry tethered to my PC. Feeling uber-geeky right now. Once Fotki gets an ipad app I won't have to do this anymore.

 

Here you can see, from closest to furthest away:

 

Majesty of the Seas

Carnival Imagination

Norwegian Sky

 

 

 

Our view. The weather is clearing!

 

 

Pardon the mess, but here you can see our room at the Hilton. It's a jr Suite. I'm over in the corner :) Yes, I'm aware that my son is about to hit my daughter with a bed bolster. :rolleyes:

 

[mitsugirly]

Hopefully the weather will clear up soon for you. I'm still jealous!

Come on down! Bring a big enough suitcase for you to crawl into and I'll smuggle you aboard tomorrow! You can sleep on the deck. :D

I don't know...after all the talk about smuggling booze onto the ship, I would get busted for sure. LOL :D

Well, come sober! lol.

 

I guess you're right. I'd certainly end up in the "naughty room" for that. :D

Very nice. I knew this was coming. I can't wait to see one with the Epic in the background. :D

[miniwheat]

Love the one where your son is fixen to hit your daughter makes me long for when I got to travel with my kids!!:D

[Sailaway Girl]

Love those feet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great view you have. It's a ringside seat to the docking of the EPIC. Did you hand pick that room or did they know you were coming, who you were and made sure you got it?

Looking forward to your onboard comments.

Rene -

We really got lucky. I knew we had a Jr. Suite and that they were corner units, but I didn't know what floor or which corner. The hotel has 21 floors, so higher would have been better, but this works out fine. I think 3 of the 4 corners would have a view of the bay, but not positive.

 

I will take some pics of the Epic in the morning and post them from the hotel, but after that it will be pretty inconvenient. Depending on when/where we sit down after boarding I might have a chance to post comments, but probably not pictures until I get back. We'll see. :)
