Semi live Harmony of the Seas updates 9-22-19 sailing

As many of you may have heard, Karen is keeping us away from St. Thomas and St. Maarten on this cruise. We knew it was hurricane season and it might happen. 

 

The Captain informed us yesterday at the end of the muster drill that we would still do Coco Cay on Monday (today) but we would then be heading west. At that time he didn’t know what ports we would go to, or what days, but promised to keep us informed. 

 

About 6:30 pm he let us know that we would be stopping at Costa Maya on Wednesday and Cozumel on Thursday. 

 

These wouldn’t be be my first choice of ports, but better safe than sorry and we can enjoy ourselves wherever we go.  We are having some trouble picking new excursions and the weather looks a little iffy on port days. My husband and I would be content to stay on board, but I don’t think our 20 year old would be quite as excited. She was really looking forward to flyboarding in St Thomas. 

 

It was gorgeous today in Coco Cay and we had a great water park cabana, #54. The furthest one, and very quiet. Don and Evita were our cabana attendants and they were the best. At about 3:15 they brought us food containers with 6 fruit skewers and a funnel cake. They like to make sure all their guests try the funnel cake. It was pretty good, but I live in the Midwest so funnel cakes are fair food, and ours are hard to beat. 

 

I will try to check back back in and let you know how it all pans out. I know some people are grousing that the western itinerary is cheaper than the eastern and passengers should get some $ back. I am just glad to be safe from the storm. 

 

It is time to go get dressed for dinner at Jamie’s and the show in the aqua theater. 

 

Have a a nice night!

Thanks for taking the time from your cruise vacation to post.  Your cabana at CocoCay sounded dreamy! I hope you can enjoy the excursions offered in Costa Maya and Cozumel!

 

If you get a chance, would you let me know what type of tea bags they have available at Park Cafe, Cafe Promenade and/or WJ?  Perhaps a picture would be easier?

 

I hope Harmony isn't too rocky!
 

Much appreciated!

Sorry you got rerouted. We are on Harmony on Oct. 13th to go back to St. Thomas and St. Maarten which we missed two years ago because of hurricane Maria. It would be my luck there may be another storm or hurricane to reroute us. Have fun and I will be following along.

Today was a great day at sea. Once again we slept in and had breakfast at Park Cafe prior to our FB skit pull. We each put in $20 and after 3 pulls each we walked out with $10 each. It was a lot of fun. 

 

We did the escape room this afternoon and had a great time. Luckily we survived and made it out in time. My only complaint would be the staff member gave us clues when we didn’t ask for them. I got the impression he was in a hurry. We finished in 44 minutes, so it isn’t like we were in danger of not finishing. 

 

We spent the afternoon playing games games on the boardwalk outside Starbucks and then played a little trivia. Tonight was “Formal night”. I had heard that they were phasing out formal night, but our Cruise Compass indicates it was “Formal.”  Needless to say we saw everything from shorts to tuxedos in the dining room. Food was nice, the tenderloin lived up to its name. 

 

The adult comedy show is getting ready to start.

I will try to get a pic tomorrow. I have had a terrible time today trying to text pics to the family, so if it won’t post, I will include a list. I have had a couple of cups of tea so far and I remember they have a nice selection.
