Rare A&L_Ont Posted March 30, 2018 #51 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Andrew, with me being a Yankees fan I would say the Blues Jays did very well yesterday Yah, let’s hope Detroit starts better than the Jays. We are going on Sunday to the game in Toronto. Watch for us on TV. Lisa and Owen are in the action seats, first row at third base, beside the dugout. Sharon and I will be in the first row behind the catcher, in the TD area. Year before last, Marcus Stroman came out before the game and surprised Owen with a little gift in the same seats. A once in a lifetime event. They are autographed and game worn. We joke a glove is next. He has got a few balls in this spot thrown to him from Donaldson as well.

Rare bobmacliberty Posted March 30, 2018 #52 Share Posted March 30, 2018 On the way to the airport, I surprised DW and DS and told them that we are flying first class. What the heck. Ah...you've been reading too many of Andrew's reviews. He's rubbing off on you. :D Have a great cruise! Once you go suite, you can never go back.

Rare flannbarr Posted March 30, 2018 Author #53 Share Posted March 30, 2018 What time of questions does your Genie ask? (Just in cast I'm ever lucky enough. I assume this is your first time on Harmony? Thanks for starting your posts now. I'll probably watch sailaway, do you have plans for your sailaway spot? I’ll get back to you with the questions that were asked. They are in my email somewhere. We will probably be on our balcony during sail-away.

Rare flannbarr Posted March 30, 2018 Author #54 Share Posted March 30, 2018 We took a taxi van to the hotel instead of an Uber. It was right at curbside so we didn’t have to wait. It cost $15.50 which was only $1 more than Uber quoted. We quickly checked into the Renaissance Cruise Port hotel. We have a room on the 7th floor facing the ocean/pier although we won’t be able to see much. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare flannbarr Posted March 30, 2018 Author #55 Share Posted March 30, 2018 View from hotel room. Ships come in near those white high rise buildings. I am usually up early in the morning so I’ll walk up 17th Street to the top of the bridge and watch the ships come in.

Rare flannbarr Posted March 30, 2018 Author #56 Share Posted March 30, 2018 We decided to walk to the Boatyard restaurant which is across the parking lot from our hotel. It used to be Bimini Boatyard. We were able to get a table at 6:15pm so we cancelled Bravo. We all had delicious meals. I highly recommend eating there. I asked about dessert to which my DW said NO....and we aren’t even on the ship yet. I guess I will be eating away from her on the ship at times!

Rare flannbarr Posted March 31, 2018 Author #57 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Saturday at 5:45am, she is here. Our son usually sleeps 12+ hours on the weekend. This morning, he awoke at 5am after around 8 hours of sleep and said we should go for a walk. Like father, like son.

Rare flannbarr Posted March 31, 2018 Author #70 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Lunch at Coastal Kitchen opened at noon. It was excellent. They rotate the lunch menu 2x during the week. We love our suite. Just chilling out on the balcony until the mister drill. Genie Valentina put together an evening agenda for us comprised of dining and shows. Tonight is 150 Central Park followed by Grease at 8:30. We also met Sebastian who is training some of the fresh genies on board the Harmony. He is leaving in 3 days flying from Jamaica to Miami to Barcelona to get on the Symphony of the Seas. Both he and Valentina are very nice.
