I know it's only a three nighter but I wish I could pack that light. I forgot what camera are you bringing along?

 

I bet you don't gain that much weight. I think you should have everyone guess. I say you gain six pounds.

 

 

I'll be curious as to the passenger count. Does not look like they are sailing at 100%

 

Have a fantastic time. I am looking forward to the food porn!!!!!!

6 is a decent guess

Inaugural New Castle.  Only available at Pub now. Playmaker's promised it tomorrow.  No draft.

 

Truly The One and Only. Seriously tasty

[John&LaLa]

First hiccup of the day.

 

My 6pm Izumi says Giovanni's 🤔

 

Will fix after lunch

Can't even imagine taking a 3 night cruise, it's going to go so freaking fast. 😞

 

Think it would be best to not drink to much and don't sleep at all. Lots of caffeine.

Agreed, although if you cruise a ton of days per year (like John), it's probably not a big deal.

So, there was discussion earlier in week that the free ride for B2B was over in PC.

 

Decided to park in the garage to verify the rumor. I'm a team player😉

 

Absolutely no signage saying you had to pay extra if you were B2B. Seriously. Just pay $68 and go on your merry way.

 

Now the rumor is that PC scans your plate upon entrance, then you have to post nose in so they can scan your plate to verify how long you have been parked. Then they bill you or ticket you for staying to long.

 

Not true, half the deck seems to be backed in

 

So my truth meter calls BS to this rumor. 

Seriously

 

My report of it was from us parking in the overflow lot next door where a live person was taking payment.  As I said on my post, they didn't ask, but we volunteered we were on a b2b.  She directed us to the guy directing cars to park and he had a handheld credit card reader.  He took the payment.  They both told us to display the two receipts and that they boot cars that don't pay for the entire time.  So, you can say BS, but that doesn't make our experience and a few others not true.

We did a B2B on Mariner in May, they had us park in the side lot next to the covered parking. They took our payment near the exit where you drop the luggage.  We only paid for 1 week, I was worried we'd be booted upon returning but we were not. Funny thing is we stuck out like a sore thumb with our Expedition and only 3 cars left in the lot.

I better make sure to read this thread after eating because I’m hungry just thinking about the food you’ll be eating. Enjoy!

[Jimbo]

John, are you at Chops having lunch?

That’s happened to me before even after I made my reservations at reservation table in the terminal. It was an easy fix but I found I have to double check my reservations once on board.

Looking forward to hearing about your dining adventures!

Good choice of emojis in the title again.

I can take a picture of Red Bull at Publix! Where's the food porn?

Was primarily referring to the person who said they are scanning plates and writing tickets.

 

That's BS for sure

 

Sorry your B2B experience was unfortunate. 

Parking garage was half empty at 10:15. Arrive early 😉

 

Probably best to call me out on the other thread, not here. The parking portion of this thread is complete. Let's not disrupt this experience

Said it was under Laura's name.

The one in my app may be the one I was automatically assigned. Lionel said not to worry. 👍

A thousand apologies kind sir. I will try to be patient.

 

I figured parking would be a breeze but good to know. We'll be there around that time next month and it was similar on 5/29 for Harmony.

Launch was picture perfect, but I need to transfer photos from camera to here. May try tonight. 

 

Kenedy Space Center

 

View from Chops at 11:30. Probably could have watched from here😉

 

Above Sky Bar was a good location, but no shade

 

Bleeding off gas. Almost time 

 

Still waiting

 

Vapor trail

 

Overall a nice time. Lots of folks watching.

I was just about to ask if you watched.  Glad you got to see it.  Nice to see Starlink grow.
