Any other reactions/comments? mac_tlc Hmm..anything you want to know specifically? There's another fridge in the balcony wet bar which has come in clutch since they're still standard teeny size. We brought a cooler bag that we had the room steward filled with ice which comes in handy to get stuff iced down faster. One of the master bedrooms has a door to the balcony and the other doesn't Both masters have an en suite bathroom with the tub. One of the inside rooms is larger with an ensuite bathroom with a shower. Just something to consider when figuring divying up the rooms.

Our Lyft driver that drove us to the port gave us his card. We called him for a ride to the airport. On arrival the port cops started to swarm around. They asked if we knew the guy and if he was family or we were paying. We found out that Florida has a law that does not allow drivers to charge for a ride unless they are working through Uber/Lyft services. It has to do with insurance issues. After telling us it was against the law and writing the driver a ticket, they let us drive off. 🤔 Later the rain hit so hard I thought we were going to have to pull over but he kept going and I thought for a moment about the insurance issue. 😂 All went smoothly after that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would they even know the person is a Lyft driver? I guess the cops check everyone coming to pick people up? Is there a lot of traffic with taxis and cars picking people up when you disembark at a "normal time" I have had the same driver pick me up at and 7:30 and he has been the only car (and no cops) there both times at that hour.

He graduated in 1968, still has his old yearbook...a bit dusty now though. 😉 So funny! I know you guys talked a lot, with neither of you knowing you went to the same high school! Wow. I was telling him about my brother being in the national guard during the Kent State riots and being at the Akron armory. He was in HS with my older brother Bob who I am pretty sure grad the same year. His name might be Robert in the year book. My sister was two years older. I don’t remember if she grad from Medina or Brecksville which both schools mascots were the Bees. 🐝 ( 🐝 nothing to do with bees threads 😂) When we got stuck in Miami after the Symphony cruise we found Medina HS playing a football game on tv. Thought it was funny to be in a Miami hotel watching the Bees play football. The QB is supposed to be a high ranked recruit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He picked us up at nine. I believe they asked him and they told us he said he was picking up family. 😂 Not sure if he told them that in English. About 15 minutes earlier I saw another driver go through the same thing. The whole thing made it a bit awkward at first but he was a nice guy and we enjoyed the ride. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when I mentioned...the Bees! Sooo...have your bro look on page 46 of the Medina year book...middle of the bottom row. Recognize that guy? 😉 He is the one with the "Jr." next to his name. Funny to look through it and realize how well dressed the students looked. Sigh...things change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ampurp85 Posted January 18, 2022 #1189 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Keeping the harmony thread going on. On harmony now in the solarium that doesn't have pools. Absolutely no one on the suite deck. I am in the 4 bedroom villa with @AshleyDillo and we have seen almost no people as we walk the halls. They gave away a CLS during bingo and will give away another in the casino tonight. We have heard 2100. Had Chops last night and were the only people in the section until almost dessert. This was around 7pm. Was some rain and fog eat but nice, humid and sunny now. The villa is huge for 4 people. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they give you an idea as to what the price would be to upgrade? Sounds like a great chance for a double upgrade for Royal, they should like that.

It was about 1/2 full on the suite deck. With no one up there, is the bar still open. Would love to see some photos. Enjoy the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindyscruise Posted January 19, 2022 #1199 Share Posted January 19, 2022 John, I hope that you do will do a live from your Odyssey cruise. There does not seem to be 'lives" from those in suites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampurp85 Posted January 19, 2022 #1200 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Our Genie Alexa told us St.Thomas was back on.. personally I would have rather had the credit. Also there was a bartender on the suite deck. Hardly any people but fully staffed in all the places opened to guest Edited January 19, 2022 by ampurp85 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
