Yeah, I know. My wife lives on the strawberry kiwi water on the ship but drinks that too (the horror).
In our fridge from last month’s GS…
 

No explanation or defense needed (as you know). No comment on "water snob."
My wife basically drinks nothing but water at home but thankfully she can survive on standard spring water (she draws the line at purified).

Sail away….
Mad Hatter’s Purple Potted Shrimp from Wonderland. Marla introduced Hubby to these last cruise and he loved them. So we got some to start off this sailing. 

Off on vacation mode for 1 week!

With the two girls he gets even less space. He lives out of his suitcase 😂

For those of wondering if the ATS was too much space for 2, Hubby said no. As you can see, he has made great use of the second bedroom. He told me to report that he is so excited to finally have “premium top shelf space” and not the be “relegated to the bottom leftovers”. 😂

 


In a turn of events, Hubby also loves this room. He has always been a bit anti-ATS, preferring the lofts. But the balcony has won him over. This room makes us miss our girls though. It would be the perfect space for the 4 of us.

I'm the "everyone has their preferences and cruises for different reasons so don't judge" guy... but the value you guys place on water cracks me up. I love it. 🤣
Gotta go take a sip from the tap water I filled an empty water bottle with and had in the fridge now. 😱

Boarding beginning before 10:30 seems to be a trend at this point. Hopefully it's a permanent thing for Wonder/PC. Even though us commoners wait for our rooms to be ready around 1-2pm, we still like to get onboard as early as possible.

It wasn't there last month. My picture-obsessed SIL who always buys a package would have noticed. 🤣

After Hannah left, we settled in for a bit and headed to Playmakers for lunch. 

Onion ring tower (half size), Pile on Nachos, Playmakers wings, and Jalapeño poppers.

Water is not just water lol. There is definitely a difference. I am big on drinking water so I guess that is why I place value on it. Ok, I am a water snob too 😂

Mike, please tell me you left the empty water bottle in your car overnight before you filled it with the tap water. I mean, go big or stay home, right? 😀

Backtracking a bit….
Dropping off the car rental at Enterprise on Mullet Road was a breeze. We handed the keys over, headed over the area where it said “cruise shuttles” and someone was there in less than 5 minutes to take us to the port. This was the first time we ever made it to port so early. We were at the terminal just before 10am. 
 
Much like Terminal A in Miami, and like what Hannah said, there is a Star Class podium there. From there, porters took our luggage and the pier agent at the podium checked our names on her list and escorted us through security and upstairs to check in. Hannah met us very shortly afterwards. Both Hannah and Judy (the pier agent) told us that Wonder boards very early. Sure enough, by 10:10am the B2B cruisers headed on and then we did. We were in our room by 10:20am and Hannah sat with us for a bit to chat and review star class benefits. She is quite personable already. Looking forward to getting to know her this week.

There is also Vellamo in the room so let’s see what happens later this week when I ask for a refill 😉

We got about $11 back each on our recent Anthem cruise to Norway. Roughly two-thirds of one day's grats, so I guess we pretty much spent it all at once. 😂
First time I've ever seen this.
