TxTeach79's Pride LIVE 5/28: Post Drydock European Adventure!

Baked Alaska for B

 

 

Carnival Melting Cake for me

I now have a front row seat to the Thunderdome

Captain just announced that we’re being held up by traffic in the harbor, but will be leaving asap. 30-35k winds overnight through the channel, we should be alongside at Dover by 6a. Captain Vito loves having the microphone and he’s really good at it, this might be the most communicative Captain I’ve sailed with - and getting us Amsterdam and extra time in Belgium? What a guy!

My 2 all time favorite Carnival desserts - with the slight edge to Baked Alaska!

European butter puts anything we have in the US to shame!

Absolutely. Which is why I buy Kerry Gold.

Packing is done! Minus the morning essentials anyway

[janice2348]

Im loving your review.  It’s great to see the ship and all of the wonderful pictures. We’ll be sailing on Pride next March for a partial Panama Canal transit.  Thanks so much for doing this. 

[TxTeach79]

Now, for self assist Diamonds can meet in the Ivory Club at 5:30am. Barring a freak wake up situation (not gonna happen, right @HelloItsMeB?), there’s no real reason for that. Deck 7 gets called off 7:45-8, so we’ll wait closer to that end of the spectrum

yup. Captain said we aren’t even alongside until 6, but you know how those debark morning arrivals go. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[TxTeach79]

Part of me wants to go walk the ship one last time (and burn the $1.98 sitting in my casino bank that could be the key to generational wealth), but the other bigger part of me wants to get some sleep before an early morning and day one in London

Wow. I have had the most amazing time with you and B! Thank you both so much for taking the time to do this Live. Question....what's with all the rubber duck stores? Do they represent something else in Amsterdam? I wanted to see a picture of the house figurine B bought, but I'm sure it's packed up! 

[balcony bound]

Hoping all goes smoothly for you in the morning.  This review has been epic and I've been glued to my screen.  Not sure what I'm going to do with myself next week LOL.  Thanks for taking me on a trip that I can't do.  Can't wait to see London and absolutely can't wait to see if your luggage will make it home.

Great review! Loved traveling along with you and B.

[Hogladyrider]

@TxTeach79....I had a SERIOUS jaw drop when I saw those waffles....I hope they tasted as good as they looked.

 

Darn I am going to have SERIOUS withdrawal after this review comes to a close...what on earth are you going to do with your time when you get back home!  When is your next adventure on a ship!

 

BEST LIVE I have followed in a LONG TIME...thanks so much for sharing your vacation and @HelloItsMeB with us!

[lazydayz]

I hope you enjoy your last evening on the ship.  What an amazing journey.  Made it so much fun to get through the past 12 days!  Thank you and I want to hear all about London!

 

We are now less than 60 days away from our Pride cruise to Dublin, Belfast, Iceland and Scotland.  You have eased my worries about the ship - the food looked good.  But I don't know about the toilet issues.  LOL - hope they are fixed by the end of July.

Thank you TxTeach79 and HelloItsMeB for the wonderful live review; the perfect combination of itinerary, personality and presentation. You both now have legend status in my eyes.

[StephPS79]

Well damn, I'm going to be sad when this is over.  What will I do with my evenings.  

[Hogladyrider]

Wow we are going to hit 3000 posts real soon!

[TeresaJ]

Really enjoyed this review from the start. Thank you for letting us follow your adventure. I told my husband we have to book a European cruise now! 😁  Hard to believe the cruise is actually over already! I enjoyed coming home from work in the evening and catching up. Safe travels on the rest of your journey. Hope your luggage makes it safely home with you. 😄

Epic review! Love your humor and comprehensive coverage of the ports! I've been on the Pride several times (love Spirit class❤️). You and B did her justice! The food and drink pics were great. Thanks a million! Now I can fly out tomorrow for my Horizon cruise...

[minniegidget]

I have loved this review. Thanks for taking us along. I love that no matter how things are going you make the best of it. Roll with the punches.

[TxTeach79]

Thanks y’all! It’s never dull - a bit bleary eyed here at 4:45a ship’s time, but we have a leak situation in the cabin….

 

 

 

 

b has managed to power sleep through it, but the drip drip drip has gotten me like Chinese water torture. I’ve laid towels down (sorry, second pic is dark), and it’s close enough to wake up that I’m not going to call maintenance, but I’ll alert someone before I leave….
