We’ve wondered this forever. Why do so many people come ashore with backpacks? What are you carrying? What do you need? 
 

My husband will use his backpack for water,  souvenirs,  and other items I might buy.

TBH it's been that way in Europe for decades. I first went to Europe in the early 80's and they already had the handheld credit card machines. 

It is like that on Canada as well.

A large part of the issue is the amount of banks that the US has. We are literally the only country that has THOUSANDS of banks. A quick Google search shows Canada has over 80 different banks while the US has over 4,000 different banks! The consequence is competition and no agreements for industry standards.

Originally talked about cabbing back to the ship, but it’s only 11 (last onboard at 3:30) and a beautiful day….

 

 

 

looks like a proper pour!  What were your drinking?

[Normie22]

Can't wait to sail on the Pride In November....first sailing out of Tampa. Love your pics!

[Hogladyrider]

@TxTeach79...geesh with the time difference I get up in the morning here in Utah and I have 7 or 8 pages to catch up on with my morning coffee,

 

Great job so far, really enjoying the pics and especially when you include @HelloItsMeB.

I would have felt apprehensive about the apes.  Did you and B feel comfortable?

Did you show the food menu?  Curious what the price for this is. Ok, saw the post of the bill.  You choose to pay in one denomination or the other?  I looked up Pound Sterling to the Dollar and today it's at 1 pound equals 1.24 dollar.  Was the sammie tasty?  So many questions....🤣

Always pay in the local currency, and yes! It was good!

I get being skittish. They had no fear. But they definitely didn’t hurt anyone and were easily deterred

that was a San Miguel!

Great Sailaway in the Serenity pool! Beautiful scenery, met some new friends from the Rockies who have traveled all over North Africa before this voyage, and most importantly got to chat with @EllieinNJ and her husband!! CC is a magical place! 

[TxTeach79]

I’ve headed to the casino and B is off for a last minute Guy’s burg, so I’m guessing a late night buffet/pizza/deli/room service is in the cards

Water, NSAIDs, small first aid kit. A place to store the wine/liquor I buy on shore so it is easier to carry back.

This stoop was a game changer for ordering drinks

Oh, I def felt apprehensive, especially when I saw a couple jump on people. 😬😂 But I felt like it was a when in Rome/when in Gibraltar situation…😅

[TxTeach79]

Sailaway from Gibraltar

No! Do not let me do that! 🙅🏻‍♀️😅

[TravelGirlinDallas]

Totally enjoying your entertaining review, as usual. I was riveted by the luggage drama and so glad you ended up getting your bags in time. You handled it so well - I would have been losing my mind. We were also flying that weekend and I was so thankful it was non-stop! 

 

This trip & cruise looks amazing!

Forgot to mention… B sent some dresses out to be pressed yesterday, and they’re already back and they did a fantastic job

They were probably wrinkled because of the amount of time they spent in her suitcase!  Save the receipt for British Airways.
