Overall it wasn’t too bad. There were times when it was awful, but that didn’t last too long. Sea days are slower because everyone is using it but overall it was fairly good.

Door sign for today.

Waiting in the Amber Theatre with the other  B2Bers. Did our safety checks while we are waiting.

When you do a b2b do they allow you into your stateroom on the changeover day or do you have to wait until 1 like everyone else?

I’ve heard we can access early. I’ll check it out as soon as we get back and let you know.

Meeting time for B2B was 9:15. At 9:45 we received our new Seapass cards, transit card and B2B sticker. 

Internet from previous cruise ended

10 am and we were then led to gangway.

Off the ship by 10:05. 10:10 we were in the customs line. Had our pictures taken and were sitting back in waiting area by 10:18.

10:30 we’re heading back to the ship. 

 

Lots of new pax in the terminal now. Hello new fellow cruisers!

Yes you can.  Show your in transit card if asked.

[Cayman Turtle]

Back on board by 10:40. There were no tests and we didn’t have to show any documents. Super easy, quick and efficient. 
 

Hopped in the line at guest services to get our old SeaPass cards back. Only took 5 minutes and learn they will be sent to our stateroom later today. I scrapbook so these will go right in the book when we get home next week. 
 

Next stop Aqua Theatre for our muster check in. No one was there (looks like it doesn’t start until 11) so we decided to see if we have early access to our room. 
 

 

Doors are closed. Didn’t attempt to open. 
 

Headed back to the boardwalk and checked in. Took 30 seconds.

Have really enjoyed following along this week and looking forward to more!  We’ll be boarding next Saturday so your review is an awesome warm up for us!  Enjoy the week!

Room update - I tried the doors and they opened. Our stateroom attendant was nearby and said we could indeed go into our room.

Lunch menus for CK and MDR. They have a lunch for consecutive cruisers that includes free Mimosas! 

 

 

I had the Butternut Squash Soup and the Eggplant Parm.

Where did you get the tags for the ducks?

I made them myself using Canva and Word and printed them at my local Staples. But there are lots of places where you can make custom tags online.

Anybody that asks.  We go through the closed door, and if asked, just show the card.

Checking out my favourite venue on board 🙂

Do you have the same cabin and cabin attendant this week?

Yes we do. We had thought about changing but we’re staying put. We have a great room in an amazing location and our stateroom attendant is amazing.
