HBE4 Posted August 2 #101 Share Posted August 2 @h20skibum Happy Anniversary & enjoy the family cruise. I also have a 10:30 check-in time & a 4:00 pm sail away time, from terminal 5. Not sure if we'll be passing Utopia but if so, I'll make sure to wave to Daryl 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted August 2 Author #104 Share Posted August 2 (edited) I was going to post a picture of the delicious hotel food, but it wasn’t anything to write home about. Meanwhile, we all watched the safety videos and are ready to report to the muster station, once onboard. Note, for those who don’t know, those will say complete when you have watched them.

Rare Sea Dog Posted August 2 #105 Share Posted August 2 Happy Embarkation day. Let’s get this Anniversary celebration going! I think a celebratory glass of champagne is in order for you and Susan. Cheers! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted August 2 Author #106 Share Posted August 2 We reserved an Uber XL for our 4 minute ride to the port. Cooler weather, and we would have walked it. Price $49. I guess when you consider the usual hotel shuttle costs to a port (HIExpress doesn’t have one) it isn’t bad. The line at 9:30. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Muster stations...does anyone know how to find a map of your ships stations? We are C1 on Icon and I like to get 'er done early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted August 2 Author #110 Share Posted August 2 The tip for boarding day is to wear your swimsuit. Slides and pools are not crowded at all at that time. We have already done the slides a half dozen times. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted August 2 Author #113 Share Posted August 2 My California grandson is on his tour of bathroom art. I can’t believe that with as many times as we have sailed, my wife was never aware of these. I guess the women’s rooms don’t have art. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted August 2 Author #115 Share Posted August 2 Open loungers at 12:25 A word of warning about this location. If someone really big goes down that orange slide, I have seen the wave top that glass wall and soak that row. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too hot today and humid. Happy anniversary and enjoy the grandkids. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never observed bathroom art in any of the women's restrooms on any of the ships we've cruised. Not fair IMO. Women sit, men stand, so you'd think the men should keep their focus on what they're doing and not looking up at a wall.😲 No offense intended. Is there art in the men's sit-down stalls as well? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
