I know the Escape had this, but can’t remember about the Getaway.  Is there a door that goes from the Haven directly to Vibe (can be opened with your key card only after you add Vibe to it). Thanks!

Haven’t seen that door!  So, don’t know.

Whew…steamy day at GSC.  Had fun, though.  Swam, sunned, explored, drank, ate.  Exactly what you’re supposed to do.  

 

I love GSC, I usually just bring my snorkel gear and go for a swim in the bay.  There is actually a fair amount of underwater life along the rock walls.  I'll be glad to be there again next month.

Me too…a couple of weeks before she caught fire.  My first cruise!  🙂

I was supposed to board her the day she caught fire.

Not to date myself…..😬…..but I cruised on the SS Norway

I guess we are dating ourselves... ditto... my first cruise in the 1980's

[graphicguy]

Spa-ing as we pull away…

[graphicguy]

[graphicguy]

Just went through the Garden Cafe….this was the scene…people being taken care of…no lines.

 

Stark contrast to my Ovation of the Seas cruise last Spring where they couldn’t accommodate passengers in the Windjammer (their sign said “sold out”)…

[graphicguy]

Ocean Blu Specialty Restaurant….as good as EDEN on Celebrity, just without the theatrics…excellent.  Plus, I didn’t have to put long pants on since I dined along the Waterfront, with a slight breeze and perfect early evening weather…

BTW…main dish was sea bass.  Prepared and tasted wonderfully!

I will never understand why diners enjoy cutting up a wedge - hope it was yummy! The one in Cagney's is good, still odd though!

 

Anyway, if you don't mind, would you be able to find out who the Haven Restaurant Manager is? Please, and thank you kind sir!

Internet speeds with premium internet package…

 

LOL with 0.29 for upload ... is that even usable 😳 these days/age with blazing 5G 

 

Back in March, basic unlimited managed to pull better speed u/l  ... d/l seemed doubled from what I saw then.  

 

Once upon a time, I pickup a decent 4G signal while at GSC but not this Spring after tendering ashore from the GA - it seemed like they managed to block the land cellular tower signal on the private island, nor, could I "seize" the ship's WiFi signal (which they had beamed ashore ... worked then with the Gem, Breakaway & Escape)  

 

Looks like you are having a blast onboard and have an excellent time, bravo & enjoy.  Is there (and are you going) a M&G/Mingle and/or if you can scout out the names of senior officers/leadership onboard, etc. - please post here at some point - although we won't be back on her until early 2023.  

 

Going to assume that they aren't doing BTS tour and/or Dine w Officers, Wine, etc. possibly getting OBC issued instead - do stop by the CruiseNext desk to collect / get your Latitude pin(s) and perhaps ... that "special gift".

Yeah….internet is tough to use.  Posting pics means attaching them, taking several sips of hydration fluid and hoping they don’t disappear and I have to start all over.

 

Frustrating, given how much I paid for the premium package.

 

No BTS, etc.  Did get the pin and the “special gift”.

 

Will track down Management!

Will track him/her down.  As expected, everyone has been fab!

Indeed it is!

So, little bit of a late night at the casino and nightcaps.  Not so good at the casino.  Nightcaps we’re good, though!

 

Just hanging out in the balcony drinking copious amounts of “Just Water” to stem what might be a slow a.m.

 

 

[graphicguy]

Tomorrow’s (or, technically  I guess today’s) activities….

[graphicguy]

Feeling a little more human, but missed breakfast and forgot to put in my room service order last night.  Not like I can’t afford to miss a meal.  But….COFFEE is imperative.  Gathering thoughts, remembering conversations and reminiscing, I think I had large fun last night.  😉😉

Which bar is the smoked bourbon at?
