She made me stop to keep the crosswalk clear 

 

For a point of reference, we parked in Express Lot, dropped our luggage and got in line. This is where the end of the line was at 10:30

Familiar Galveston sailaway things 

 

 

 

Best hotel in town.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen this thing move

yeah, I’ve talked to a few people who sailed Ruby from here and said it was nothing like that. 

Yep, sailed Ruby out of Galveston in March. Dropped off at 1045 & on the ship by 11.

Easiest embarkation I've had at ANY port.

(Not trying to rub it in...😉 We sail NCL out of Galveston next month & I was raving to DH about how easy it was...I'll temper my enthusiasm)

Um - did he bring his own roll of giant size paper towels?

Be prepared- always bring a spare for time spent in pen #3.

I think it's a baseball cap.

Completely unpacked. It’s all in those cabinets. Bathroom shelves are full. Coke zeroes chilling in fridge. Got my pen, bourbon vouchers signed. Let’s go explore! 
 

Pretty sure that closet is bigger than some NYC apartments.

Passing Harmony OTS. They were rowdy. We blasted the Love Boat horn at them.

Bon voyage.   You’ve just passed Harmony of the Seas.

[TxTeach79]

What an exceptionally strange battle to fight

I like the hallway art of people’s photos from various ports and ships 

 

 

 

 

Nice to see they're still doing that. Been a couple years since I've been on Princess, but I enjoyed those; always made me think about where else I could go.

I don’t recall ever having a problem getting a drink out of Galveston on embarkation day.   If that’s a regularity on Princess, that’s another reason not to sail on them.

I saw three bars open. Mermaid’s Tail, Outrigger, and Good Spirits. All with the limited Texas menu. Not sure if I missed anything.

Texas Hurricane from Ishmael 🇧🇧 at Outrigger. I like this bar. 
 

That's a very pretty drink - please tell me it tastes at least as good as it looks🫣

it was pretty darn tasty!

I usually save money and roll inside, but when it happens, gosh this is pretty darn nice.

If you don’t have to sign for anything, then it’s a battle everyone has to fight if they’re paying attention.  That’s just wrong for anyone to have to do.  I wonder how much extra money they make on people who don’t pay attention.

Looks like a white ballcap to me. My husband attaches his to his backpack like that when he’s not wearing it.

I just don’t get the arguing with me over one beer and basically calling me a liar. That doesn’t sit well with me. 

[TxTeach79]

this does sit well with me
