But.....spending a day and a half on jury selection didn't have me feeling very confident. Smart move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prosecution main witness customer of both. Her testimony was not sone on Friday and she went mia on a binge till Thursday. Basically recanted her original testimony. He got away with murder. Learned a lot about “street justice” and not cooperating with the “system”. That's why I don't want to be on a criminal jury. Some scary people are involved. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During jury selection they ask very pointed questions of each potential juror, details on where you lived, occupation family etc. The defendant was smirking at me during this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted February 16 #54 Share Posted February 16 Greg, really interested in your thoughts on Spirit. We have sailed on more Spirit class than any other. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I get dismissed because my husband Craig is an attorney. But I would be shaking in my boots if a potential murderer was "checking me out" and smirking. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted February 16 Author #56 Share Posted February 16 Typical work lunch for me. There’s a rotation. Mexican fiesta expires the soonest so that’s always at the beginning of the week. Chef and Cobb were mid week options. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryingtocruise Posted February 16 #57 Share Posted February 16 So excited to see this. We're on the Spirit for 15 days - only 3 port days - next spring (Panama Canal transit) and I'm a little concerned about how much the Spirit has to offer. Looking forward to seeing your impressions. Have a safe trip! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothFlying Posted February 16 #60 Share Posted February 16 My wife and I will be on the 'ole girl' (Spirit) next cruise. Our second time on her, she took us out of Seattle to Alaska in 2010. It was a WONDERFUL cruise can't wait till we're back aboard on her again. Maybe you'll give us a update on what's new? Mac 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcvtmom Posted February 16 #66 Share Posted February 16 Always happy to see another St. Greg live, to keep me entertained and informed!! As Jamman and others have already commented, Spirit class is also my favorite! The guest to space ratio just seems to work better than the other classes. Our next cruise (Journeys 😁) is on the Pride. We've enjoyed the Legend and Miracle, as well. In fact, Spirit is the only one in that class we haven't sailed! I agree with your assessment of the Watling's pina coladas. We make a point to walk up the big hill every time we're in Nassau, and we've enjoyed Junkanoo, as well. I hope you have a spectacular time. Let's get this ball rolling!! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depplep Posted February 16 #67 Share Posted February 16 Ok, I can see I'm going to have to start requesting vacation time whenever @Saint Greg does a live review. It's a good thing I work remotely. 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinaInTexas Posted February 16 #68 Share Posted February 16 I also didn't know you were cruising again so soon and I'm not complaining, always enjoy your reviews. Will be interesting to see life on a small ship since it seems I will be on one later this year. I almost booked Bermuda with a couple of days in NY. Even went back and reread your reviews for pointers and tips. Then I got to the initial planning stages and I panicked, big time. Maybe by next year I will be ready. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. That would’ve made Galveston cruises more convenient though. I wouldn’t have been in that Webster hotel two weeks ago. Or my friend’s apartment in November.

Only problem is that Greg keeps his cruises "top secret" nowadays, so unless you're clairvoyant you'd never know what ship and when... 1 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
