Oasis of the Seas Live - We’ve been Saved by the Bell 🐾🐾 March 12-19, 2023. ​​​​​​​

Wow.  I play golf and go out to dinner, only to find that I'm 8 pages behind before I even get started.  Wish we could have joined you, but I fully expect that I'll be able to live vicariously through you guys on this thread.

 

Greg - I've got a drink to add to your list...a toasted pecan old fashioned.  Tasty.  It uses William Wolf pecan flavored bourbon, but that might be unlikely onboard.  At only 60 proof, it's like drinking a mocktail.  In any case, I'm sure you'll report on the bourbon situation onboard.  Maybe you can find a friendly bartender who can squeeze a late night XXO onto your drink package. 😉

 

Safe travels and Bon Voyage to everyone!

Also stressing about the snow storm.   About 25 hours until we board our flight.  Hopefully it’s all cleared out of here by then.

 

 I also suffer from the malady of cankels. I’m very careful not to add salt to anything and find it’s helpful.

 

Your polish is very pretty.  I’ll be the one with the green polish for St. Patrick’s Day.

 

 

 

Some attribute the malady to the desalination process of the water

Left the house at 6, took the toll highway yo avoid traffic.  Breezed through luggage check in and customs with only one minor delay.  My carry on got pulled aside so they could check out the 2 crystal blocks I'm bringing to the cruise.

 

We don't fly that much and I had a free companion fare that was going to expire and I found out I could trade that for complimentary lounge access at the airport.  Much nicer sitting here gor 2 hours than at the gate.

 

Definitely getting closer.

 

I have one in my checked bag. Couldn't fit it into the bella case. Maybe I should rethink.

I figure both. Last cruise, I elevated my feet while in the cabin, and that really helped. Phooey on drinking less to make it better. 😁

Dinner at Max and Ermas, tonight a tradition.

 

My pre cruise tradition is a couple of dbl Bailey's 😁

 

But alas, that only works when leaving from PC

Cheers 🍹🍻🥂🧉🍷🥤🥃🍺🍾

Still amazed with the 9 cocktails in Wonderland, Not sure I could sit there all that time to drink 9 cocktails. Never been to Wonderland but that pace for eating dinner would kill me, plus the portions I have seen are so tiny, I guess that is a reason you had 9 cocktails there, the down time between food would drive me crazy.

 

I don't think we ever want to try Wonderland.

When we pack I usually put all the questionable items in the spouses carryon, just in case he gets pulled outside by TSA questioning the contents of his bag.

Once he was randomly pulled aside and swabs were taken looking for explosives.  He passed.

Saves me the trouble of having hot flashes and looking guilty.

 

 

Laura's LOVE bracelets always put her in the position for secondary screening. Usually it's a quick pass over with a wand. Much worse at airport.

 

I got nabbed with a new roll of toothpaste in Copenhagen. Of course it was Laura's

Actually really easy with good food, good company and good positive vibes 

 

it’s all about the experience and enjoying the moment 

 

Our glasses are always 1/2 or full 😉

YMMV

 

Happy Days!

Giovanni's still isn't showing as open for lunch on departure day, or any of the sea days.  😟  I hope that changes.  Chops shows open for lunch.

The app is never correct until you board.  Go to the current weeks sailing yo get more accurate information.

I knew it would flag me but if the worst happened and I lost my checked luggage I can live without the formal clothes.

Oh Dear!

Im just going to say

Don’t knock it until you have tried it Jimbo

 

Only time the above happens is if I drink limencello 🍋 

But still a positive experience 

 

Keep being positive 👍🏻

[Homebody]

Long time "Bella" lurker here.  Watching you all pack up and hitting the air and roads to head to Miami for the cruise reminds me of the Seinfeld finale where you see everyone packing up and heading out to go to the trial.  

 

Enjoy
