Good point! I think it’s under roof, though. So, if it’s not a slanting rain, maybe we’ll be OK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare graphicguy Posted August 14, 2021 Author #129 Share Posted August 14, 2021 It’s happening now……no flight delays (yet). FRED can’t stop us. My bags are packed. I’m ready to go…..(you know the rest). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthousepointdream15 Posted August 14, 2021 #131 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Safe travels graphic guy. Oddly enough I was on the July 10 Epic cruise and due to a change in plans I will be on this sailing too. What will everyone talk about without the “porn girls”? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare graphicguy Posted August 14, 2021 Author #134 Share Posted August 14, 2021 So, not that this is a bad problem to have, but aside from a little bumpy ride coming into FLL, we are on the ground. But, I can’t board until 2. So, hang out at the Delta Sky Club. Called Celebrity Customer Service. They said “sure…..go to the earliest check in at 11:30 a.m.” Now, do I think they have some sort of direct line to the check in terminal? No. Do I think they’ll say anything to appease? Sure. Still, it’s sunny here in Ft Lauderdale and nothing like I expected (8 inches of rain and 30 MPH winds). It’s relatively calm. Anyway, still too early to check in. Hang out at the Delta Sky Club. Get a Bloody Mary and get this thing started. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's getting worse, not better. Hopefully, smarter heads will prevail and the people in charge will put your health and well being ahead of political agendas. So true!

helen haywood Posted August 14, 2021 #137 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Are you saying boarding is delayed? Or was your boarding time always 2 pm? If you’re in a suite I thought you could board anytime. We’re about to leave for the port so I definitely want to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted August 14, 2021 #138 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Suites are allowed to board at any time. I might wait a bit after 11:30 to let the initial crush fade. Since you have done this before you know to go to the door all the way on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, walked right on board just now. 15 minutes from getting a taxi ($11) to stepping foot on the ship. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare graphicguy Posted August 14, 2021 Author #140 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Waving me on from 50 feet! BTW….in addition to matching my name and DOB from my passport to my VACCINE CARD, checkin had checking for vaccine type, COVID TESTING of date and type of test, name, and if I was negative. Really didn’t take long though. No lines…no bad weather. Time for another Bloody Mary! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarrieAP Posted August 14, 2021 #146 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Thank you for sharing your trip with us!! Boarding in 2 weeks so adds to the excitement. 1st Celebrity cruise! We have Oct B2B on NCL Jade in Greece booked but your last report inspired me to fit an Edge sailing in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
