BohJang Posted February 5, 2023 #53 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Hey Greg - I'm here and will be following along. Between you and Sid there will probably be no work done by me! Have a great cruise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geovet Posted February 5, 2023 #56 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Hi Greg, Enjoying your thread. I’ll also be on this cruise with my wife and son David. He has Down syndrome and the crew always treats him well. Is there any cruise critic gathering? George 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted February 5, 2023 Author #58 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I need to not do what I did last night next week. I value my cruise mornings too much for that. UFC went till like 2:30am and I overdid it last night/this morning. I need to pack today but I have my doubts now because half of the day is shot and all I’ve done so far is eat fruit loops and watch Wayne’s World. 4 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illinoisfive Posted February 5, 2023 #59 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Thank you Senatorsfan for the Sid review link! I love his reviews and didn't realize that he was sailing again so soon after his last trip! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted February 5, 2023 Author #62 Share Posted February 5, 2023 You’ve Got Mail is on TBS. I haven’t seen that in forever. It’s funny to watch because that really is the beginning of the internet/chat thing and the specialty coffee craze. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted February 5, 2023 Author #63 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I have a concert tonight. Well…I’m not performing or anything. I’m attending a concert tonight. This is really a crazy coincidence but two of the three bands just got off of Magic last weekend. Parkway Drive from Australia and Memphis May Fire from just north of here in Denton were both on Magic for the Shiprocked cruise. They started a 16 day, 14 city tour in Los Angeles on Tuesday. They were in Tempe Wednesday, San Antonio Friday, and Houston last night. I like to be down in the stuff at concerts. Once you’re there, you’re kind of stuck. My prep for that includes super hydrating myself in the morning/early afternoon and then not eating or drinking anything the rest of the day. I’m about to have my last meal of the day. I won’t drink anything after about 3pm and hopefully it’ll all be out of my system by 5. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In December we stayed at the new TownePlace Suites and were able to catch a launch by going out on our balcony at 4 am. I prefer PC over Miami as well. But then I’m also that person who usually flies in the day of the cruise, so finding things to do and hotel cost isn’t a concern for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you just have to deal with that transportation to/from the airport which isn’t very close by. I think that’s the airport where I had to take a train to baggage claim…weird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I do fly into PC same day, I always use the carnival transfers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Beach Bum Posted February 5, 2023 #69 Share Posted February 5, 2023 5 hours ago, Saint Greg said: That’s cool but it seems like you have to get extremely lucky to catch one. I don’t think they have one next week. They had one when I was there in 2021. I got up at 2 or 3am and walked a mile in the rain for a scrub. There is one Friday at 6pm. https://www.spacelaunchschedule.com/launch/falcon-9-block-5-starlink-group-5-4/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been there a couple time for a launch and they didn’t happen. One time it went off right as we were boarding so missed that one. Hopefully we’ll catch it this week before our MG cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottasp Posted February 5, 2023 #74 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Hey Greg, another reason besides what you mentioned I don't like PC is because when we fly into MCO my wife thinks it's mandatory to go to Disney. I thought we were done when the boys grew up then we got grandchildren. Here we go again. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted February 5, 2023 Author #75 Share Posted February 5, 2023 My suitcase is almost packed. Just a few more things I need to add. I really need to remember to pick up some SPF this week. And I still need to inventory my backpack. I'll can do that one night this week. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
