No problem Amy! This is the kind of stuff we love to see. There are so many back stories and we'd love to catch as many as we can! 😃

Trying to be serious here...

If you ever get the chance to sit down with @Jamman54 and his wife Patti and have a drink or two, you'll find two of the nicest and easiest going people you'd ever want to meet!!

 

They truly are who they seem to be on CC, friendly and approachable too!!

I missed out connecting with them on the Venezia back in Sept/Oct. Has anyone ever cruised with them in late December or are they usually busy?

Hey if we're going to photoshop then turn the milk into a camera and the cookies into a bucket of beers.  Now we're talkin'

Aw geez Vic, you're making us blush! We love meeting people and we love cruising. Put them together and magic happens!

Another question would be when he says HO! HO! HO! is that just code for saying lets go to Hooters?

You're getting closer to cracking the code, but it's really in the subtle hand signals!

I definitely agree with this! It was so nice to finally meet this fellow NHL fan and his lovely wife. 😁

I have been told they can't cruise in December due to "work."

@Jamman54 so glad to see your after-review has started! Love your reviews and Patti's pics. The bad news is that it makes me even sadder that I had to cancel this one. The good (and much better) news is that reading this makes me feel good. Really hope I can meet you two someday!

Glad to have you aboard! We were so sad that you couldn't make it. Hopefully we'll get to cruise together some day in the near future!

Day # 1  -  (January 14th)  -  We board the Carnival Celebration! 

 

It’s cruise day! We were up at 5:30am to get ready for the day. It’s a cloudy 70 degree day with a chance of showers. We repacked our luggage and put the cruise tags on them. We then met up with Pat & Jim for some free Springhill Suites breakfast. Afterwards, Patti grabbed the camera and took these shots of the pool area that she had forgotten to take earlier. We can’t leave without doing that!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have a 9:30am to 10am check-in time at the pier, so we checked out of the hotel and met Pat & Jim by our cars at 8:15am. They would be following us down to Miami. And we’re off! This is the way to Miami…….

 

 

After around twenty minutes of driving we are getting close…..

 

 

 

 

Before we reach the tunnel, we can see some of the seven ships that are in port today. Here are the Scarlet Lady, Grandeur OTS, Celebration, and Horizon…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

We are heading through the tunnel to the Port of Miami……

 

 

Once out the other side, we just follow the signs to the Carnival Celebration at Terminal “F”…..

 

 

 

We pass the MSC Divina and the Carnival Horizon along the way…..

 

 

 

Here is our home for the next seven days, the Carnival Celebration…..

 

 

 

We pull over here to drop off our luggage…..

 

 

That being done, we have to drive down to Parking Lot “G” to park our cars. That’s the Scarlet Lady down at the end……

 

 

The Grandeur OTS is docked at Terminal “G”…..

 

 

We have made it to Parking Lot “G”……

 

 

To be continued……..

[Jamman54]

It was 8:50am when we parked our cars. The four of us made the short walk back to Terminal “F”…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s our line…..

 

 

It was only 9:10am and they were already letting people into the terminal. We just walked up to the next available check-in station……

 

 

That took a whole two minutes, and they directed us upstairs to the Captain’s Lounge…….

 

 

 

 

Before entering the Captain’s Lounge we go through the security check. Off course the metal in my knee and hip sets off the alarm. As security was wanding me, Patti took a picture, which is a big no-no. They gave her a slap on the wrist and made her delete that picture from her camera.

 

To be continued…..
