The journey is done!

I hope everyone had a great time!  Safe travels today!

For those of you cruising with Royal Caribbean for he first time, you are now Gold Crown & Anchor members.  You should get an email or something to tell you what your Crown &Anchor number is.  When booking in the future you could be eligible for repeat cruiser discounts.  So ....  Always be sure to ask about that!

Until next time....

We're here because we're here because we're here because we're here

Ok...  That is a dumb little song I sing once in a while when we reach our destination.  And it is fitting because we are here!  Long drive but fortunately they actually did have a room open this early and we are checked in!

The hotel is right down the road from port and we actually saw one of Royal Caribbean's smaller ships this morning as we passed the port.  The Enchantment of the Seas was in port and will probably head out a little later.

We will be venturing out to find the la Quinta in a bit but it should be just a bit further up the road.

We look forward to having the rest of you join us!

On the road again...

well folks....  We are on our way.

I know you all are adults but I feel compelled to remind you to check to make sure you have your birth certificates or passport .  Whichever you choose to use is fine but make sure they are packed.  Everything else (clothes, toothbrush, shoes, etc.) can be bought or replaced when you arrive in Florida.  But those official documents are IMPORTANT!

See you all soon!  Safe travels!

Carry on for ship

Lucas brought up something to me the other day.  He asked if you were restricted to how many carry ones you had when you board the ship.  To my knowledge...  No you are not.  So if you have multiple things that you want to carry on, go for it I guess .

Passport / Birth Certificate Precautions

Thanks Jordan for asking me about this yesterday!

Jordan asked me yesterday if I was going to make a copy of my passport to carry with me just in case I lost mine.  I have never really done that up until Lucas recently traveled to Europe.  It was suggested for him to take a picture of his passport on his phone.  That way if he lost the passport he would still have a picture of it to show to any necessary people to get it replaced in a timely fashion.

So, if you want to do that, feel free.  Of course you could still lose a physical copy or your phone, but if that added 'insurance' makes you feel more comfortable, then go for it!!

See ya!

Weekend in Florida before cruise

I know we are all arriving at various times in Florida.  I have been so focused on the cruise that I kind of forgot that this is also July 4th weekend.  I did a quick search and here is a link with some activities for this weekend happening near/around Cocoa Beach for anyone that is interested.

Enjoy!

Weather

Good morning everyone...

I checked weather.com this morning and here is the weather I see for the days we are in particular ports:

Sunday 7/5 Port Canaveral 88 degrees, partly cloudy, 20% chance of rain

Monday at sea

Tuesday 7/7 Labadee, Haiti 92 degrees, mostly sunny, 20% chance of rain

Wednesday 7/8 Falmouth, Jamaica 89 degrees, mostly sunny, 20% chance of rain

Thursday 7/9 Georgetown, Grand Cayman 87 degrees, scattered thunderstorms, 60% chance of rain

Friday 7/10 Cozumel, Mexico 86 degrees, scattered thunderstorms, 50% chance of rain

Saturday 7/11 at sea

Sunday 7/12 Port Canaveral 90 degrees, scattered thunderstorms, 50% chance of rain

Most of the time for sea days they try to "sail around" the weather to the best of their ability.  All I can say is ...  We look like we will have a few rainy days possibly.  I am not too concerned as this is still early to be getting the forecast for all of next week.  So I am going in to things with good thoughts and positive weather vibes.  And after all...  A day at sea is better than any day in the office.  :-)

Bye for now!
