I got them Sunday. Too late to use for this cruise.

I'm sorry CVS dropped the ball for you.  DH and I got our rapid results in less than an hour from CVS.  NEGATIVE!!! I'll be boarding Magic as you disembark MG.  Woo Hoo!!!

I thought you didn't like CVS? Your hand is facing the wrong direction. At least you are looking at the building because it doesn't mean anything without eye contact.

Great... guess I'll have to rethink my testing plans for December, unless reviews indicate they've gotten a lot better by then!

My DH and I received our rapid results from CVS in less than an hour. NEGATIVE so we can cruise!! But it seems like it varies from state to state with CVS.

Oh that sucks,  I was going to get the rapid at CVS too,  what day did you go for the rapid test?  I'm thinking if I go Wednesday(my cruise is Saturday), even if they don't have it the pcr results might come in on time, we will see, otherwise I have to book a backup

Wednesday.

I believe they do add to cheers in the beginning when you pay it is $51.95 per day plus 18% tip, =$429 per person for a 7 day cruise

Dont think we were talking the same thing. I don’t remember what the question was I was responding to though.

I think they may have a coach now. Dan Campbell has been Sean Payton’s assistant head coach for a few years and I think an overlooked head coaching candidate because everyone has been going for the young flashy offensive coordinators or quarterback coaches trying to find the next McVay.

If nothing else Campbell's media appearances have been hilarious.

For reference I’m on Mardi Gras deck 8 and looking across at Magic deck 5. But I’m pretty sure Magic disembarks deck 0 and we

do on deck 3 so it may be a numbering thing.

Usually Angela makes my mochas this time a guy did and it doesn’t taste mocha.

It doesn’t other than she makes it really spicy for me.

oh yeah. They don’t add it on the check. Yeah they charge you a % of the package which is split amongst all bartenders it’s  but not on a per drink basis so if you drink a certain number of drinks you aren’t really tipping 18%. If you drink $100/day worth of alcohol you’re tipping 9%.

[Saint Greg]

apparently the pig and anchor bar doesn’t open until noon on port days. A server from outside to our order.
 

Not very good. I don’t know if  they didn’t stir it or what but I can’t taste

tomato at all

I would have a backup and a backup to the backup.

I had my appointment this morning and fortunately they had the rapid test (and it was negative). I have no doubt they would have run out of the test if I hadn't ordered the Abbott tests as a backup! Driving over to Reagan Airport was my backup to the backup (at $200 a pop, ouch).

Bloody Mary still tastes a little watered down. I wonder if she let the drinks sit at the bar outside in the hot sun and ice

melted. It was a long time and the ladies at the bar noticed well after she took our order she was walking around outside taking other orders. Probably while our drinks sat up at the bar.

Whaletail doesn’t drink - except for orange soda.

Now they are catching on although not totally true. Alchemy made me a drink I absolutely love but it’s $14 a pop.
