    Miami is horrible but if you can arrive early (sometimes really early) and don’t mind waiting, it’s not bad. The passengers arriving at 10-11am are going to have a horrible experience. The same goes for departure, there’s only one solid method which is self assist at 6:30am. 

    Yeah, not for me.  I hate to be rushed on departure morning so if that’s the only “solid method”, then another reason to swear off Miami cruises.

    I've used both the old and new terminals.  From a fish out of water view, I couldn't tell you one from the other, other than remembering the new terminal is very nice.  I remember nothing of the old one.  

    Being at the mercy of shuttles, I often never know where I'm at.  All we know is the driver tells us we're here.  And we disappear into a building.

    We spent just a few minutes in this terminal and were whisked onto the ship.😀

    That looks like the suites lounge at Terminal G.

    Please tell me she does NOT put it on scrambled eggs !  😬

    Ok I hated eggs when I was a kid, like EEWWW please don’t make me eat that!!!  I would drown them in……

    applesauce!  I know, I know but apparently that was my go to food.  My parents had a favorite German restaurant we went to several times a month & my appetizer was always a bowl of applesauce.

    Before last cruise, I would have said the crab cakes but the ones we were served on Explorer in March were not good.  Nor was the lobster bisque which I pushed away after a couple of spoonfuls ☹️.  And I was soooo looking forward.  If it makes a difference, this was on the last night of the cruise.  The beef carpaccio and shrimp cocktail on day one were both terrific.

    I love grease the movie.   And all the songs are on my playlist…..🎶

    Sandy was not the female lead in the original musical.  Rizzo was.  But Stockard Channing (who could act circles around ONJ) was not enough of a box office draw so they rewrote the show to give ONJ the bigger part and more songs.  But my issue with the show is not its performance.  It’s the horrible message it sends.  Being pretty and smart and funny is not enough girls, gotta tart yourself up to get your man!  You gotta “cream for greased lightening” and justify your promiscuity because “there are worse things I could do”.  But it’s all good in the end cuz I gotta stop at the drug store.  I got my period!!  ALL of this is in the musical.  How does it become a staple of community theater & high school music departments?!!!

    Saw this show a couple of years ago when we sailed on Harmony. Really enjoyed it! I love the music and I thought RC's entertainers were very talented!! WIll be on Harmony again in November so I'll be curious what they replace it with, if anything?? 

    Our 1st sailing on Oasis next month. I've made reservations to see the infamous Cats......but I'll plan to get an aisle seat so we can sneak out early if it's as bad as people say!! I actually saw the original Broadway run 40 years ago, with Betty Buckley in the starring role. I don't remember the "plot" (except that it was weird?!) but the music was amazing. I'll go for the music and if the performers don't do it justice then I'll move on and scratch it off my bucket list!!

    Once is usually enough for me with these Broadway shows, so honestly I'm hoping RC will start to switch them out some. I know it's complicated to move them from ship to ship, but leaving a show for YEARS on one ship doesn't make sense to me.....

    Cats doesn’t have a “plot”. It’s based on the Book of Practical Cats by TS Elliot & is a series of vignettes with a very loose theme running through them.  You can’t look at it as a traditional musical.
