Rare Jamman54 Posted January 13, 2023 Author #51 Share Posted January 13, 2023 So, today we are hanging out by the beach in Fort Lauderdale. It's a beautiful day, though they are calling for showers later. Going to be a little cooler when we board the Spirit tomorrow. 😎🍺 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogladyrider Posted January 13, 2023 #52 Share Posted January 13, 2023 @Jamman54......I am researching an 18 day cruise to Hawaii for January 2024 so I have qued up your review from 2019 to reread! See those reviews ALWAYS come in handy! Enjoy your day in Fort Lauderdale. It is beautiful weather here in Yuma, Arizona. Just returned home this past Monday and it is so good to be home to continue my recovery from my total knee replacement. Still dealing with some swelling but I am only 9 weeks post op so lots of time to research cruising and enjoy others reviews! Susan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be doing a S2S on the Freedom and the Spirit. No, this will not be a live review, but as usual, we will be documenting everything to present to you later. We will be enjoying sail away from our bowling alley balcony on deck 7, which will be facing Fishlips as we pass. We'll be waving to you all as we pass the ptz camera! 😁 It's Always a Pleasure hearing from the two of you. Look forward to your comments and Pattie's photo's Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cruise to Hawaii was in our top 3 for sure. Enjoy your planning, and keep rehabbing that knee. My right knee is 13 years old this month. 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe4all Posted January 14, 2023 #55 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Don't know where you are staying in FLL, but if on Las Olas Blvd they just opened a Hollywood Donuts right next to Cheesecake Factory. Looks amazing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted January 14, 2023 Author #56 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Good morning from a chilly (48°) Miami. We are all checked in and waiting to board the Spirit. 😎 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted January 14, 2023 Author #57 Share Posted January 14, 2023 We were one of the first upstairs, and they sent us to a room they said was for Diamonds. Now I'm seeing Plats and FTTF in here. This could get ugly.😎 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Shoes2Go Posted January 14, 2023 #59 Share Posted January 14, 2023 We enjoyed chatting with y’all on Freedom. Friendly, happy crew and officers. I think we’ll come back soon. Enjoy Spirit! Bon Voyage! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted January 14, 2023 Author #60 Share Posted January 14, 2023 We boarded at 10:45. Boarding went just fine. Diamonds, Suites, Platinums, fttf, boarding zones. Muster done, carry-ons dropped off, sitting at the Red Frog rum bar. 😎 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just didn't have designated areas for the different priorities. Not sure why. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there was not room for anyone else in the Celebration waiting area. That was before FTTF came back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthfully, it did work out okay, as they were strict about checking boarding passes once they called for Diamonds, Suites, Plats, etc. 😎 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jamman54 Posted January 15, 2023 Author #68 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Not stopping at Princess Cay today due to sea conditions making it unsafe to tender. Last night was a very bumpy ride. I slept like a log! 😎 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt082600 Posted January 16, 2023 #69 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Hey Jim. I'm a bit late to the party here. I hope your 2nd leg of the journey is fantastic. We're sailing Spirit in February. Safe travels!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah several years ago when we cruised, way before covid we did FTTF and we were not seated in the Diamond lounge. We sat in the regular terminal with everyone else. I don’t really understand why that changed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted January 16, 2023 #71 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Hey Jeff, another start to a great Jammin review. We will board the Celebration this coming weekend, might pass you somewhere along the line. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual picture review will begin once we get home, so just checking in with our Cruise Critic family. 😁 Enjoy your cruise on the Celebration. We'll be on her for a B2B in April. 😎 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogladyrider Posted January 16, 2023 #73 Share Posted January 16, 2023 @Jamman54 have the seas calmed down? I saw on the weather report there appears to be a storm out to sea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted January 16, 2023 Author #74 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Today we are in Grand Turk, and it's a beautiful day. The Captain got us in two hours early since we had to skip Princess Cay yesterday. The Carnival Sunrise is in port with us today. When we were here last week on the Freedom we had a pool cabana. We could have gotten one for this cruise, but we decided just to head for Jack's Shack today. 😎 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogladyrider Posted January 16, 2023 #75 Share Posted January 16, 2023 @Jamman54...2 ships in Grand Turk, it will definitely be a busy beach day....not to mention at Margaritaville. Enjoy Jack's Shack. It's just coffee time here in Arizona! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
