Boarded around 3 hours ago.
Had great fun so far. Was in the elevator with Captain Gus - told him that Harmony is better than Symphony. ?
Been around the entire ship, feeling at home.
In a virtual balcony cabin on Deck 6 forward. Currently watching Marc's ship tour - he seems to have Abe Hughes doing the voiceover for some of the venues. Speaking of Cruise Directors, I have also seen Dennis Charles onboard.

Yeah, I get that they are a business and that these short runs make money, but is it really what people want? I'm frustrated that all of the amped ships are going to itineraries that only Americans can sail.
As a non-American, it feels that my options are getting gradually more limited.

Oh so sorry!  I'm not sure why I thought it was Saturday since we are on this exact itinerary SUNDAY, September 1st so no excuses!  Best news is tomorrow is cruise day!  Yeah!  Happy for you and the family!
Enjoy the sailaway!  Michelle

On the bright side - you won't be on a ship with too many kids!

They don't have much of these offerings on USA based ships. Breakfasts were a bit rubbish on my last 2 sailings from the States (AN 2016 & HM 2017).

At the airport - flight leaving at 0940. Time to go! Long day ahead, wish me luck.
Will miss proper breakfasts on the ship - this is this morning's offering:

For a Glaswegian, I speak very American. ?

I think that they did. I got the Oreo Cheesecake.

I like it. The room is large and the beds are extremely comfortable. It does look a bit tired in places but I'm satisfied with it.

That Is The One I Go To.

Airport Update
And now the 2.5 week adventure begins... We are now at the airport waiting on the flight to Seattle. Only 20 minutes until we board on the flight! We aren't even in Seattle yet and I already have a story for the blog... How exciting!
While sitting down at the gate we see that a passenger from the previous flight was being arrested for excessive intoxication. Sounds like their vacation isn't going to plan anymore! Hope we don't have any other crazy things happen to us on this trip. Fingers crossed that there aren't any crazy Canadians, Seattlites, or cruisers on this vacation like there were last year!
The plan once we arrive in Seattle is to go to the hotel and if we're hungry go get some dinner in Downtown Seattle. 
Chao Cha... wait, wrong blog. Talk once I'm in Seattle!

Arrived in MCO around 5pm. Went to TGI Fridays for dinner - always a favourite.
Staying at Four Points by Sheraton on International Drive on the 21st floor. The view of Orlando looks great. Some of the group are not impressed though.
