  1. I had to laugh at the Marvin Zindler reference!
  2. I'm so excited for this. It's a bucket list trip after I retire.
  3. There's several great options in the Webster area. Tex Mex: El Tiempo- the owner's mother is (was) the Godmother of Tex Mex & a Houston Icon, Ninfa Laurenzo. She was the first to put fajitas on a restaurant menu back in the 80's. Pappasito's Steak & Seafood: Perry's Steakhouse Tommy's Seafood BBQ: Pappas Delta Blues BBQ- Owned by the same family as Pappasito's, many people would say it's not legit BBQ because it's an actual restaurant, but that's until they try it. Rudy's BBQ Killen's BBQ- Now if you want a legit, stand in line, have to be there when they open, craft Texas BBQ experience, check out Killen's. It will require you to either Uber or have a rental car, but I promise you... It is worth it. They are one of the state's top BBQ places and a short drive from Webster.
  4. If you fly into Hobby, I would recommend staying in the Clear Lake/Webster/League City area. It's about 15 mins from the airport and a much better area than what's around Hobby. I agree with Steverk, Hobby area after dark is not the place you want to be if you are not familiar with the area. There are several hotel options in Webster on Bay Area Blvd. and it would give you lots of food options in the immediate area. If you haven't been to Houston before, I highly recommend trying some BBQ or Tex Mex. Both are available in Webster. Baybrook Mall is at Bay Area Blvd. & I-45 as well as several other shopping options including Best Buy, Target, Sam's Club, Costco, etc. in case you forgot something.
  5. I hope they find this kid. https://www.unilad.com/news/world-news/royal-caribbean-man-jumps-overboard-in-front-family-362946-20240405
  6. I have heard of people bringing them to put on top of the mattress due to the beds being unbearably uncomfortable for some (us for one). We carry a mattress topper with us. However, I don't know if there is a certain type of air mattress to buy.
  7. We were on Harmony at Thanksgiving and they showed the Cowboys game in Studio B. They had a makeshift bar set up and were selling popcorn. Because it was the Caribbean ESPN feed, we had to wait for the college basketball game from the Bahamas tournament to finish. The game went into OT and it was hilarious to watch all those people lose their minds because we were missing the first few minutes of the game.
  8. Hi @Jax! I hope y'all enjoyed the Texans game. It was great to see you, again. Crazy how this blog spills over into other areas of life at times.
  9. I-45 is under construction between Galveston & Hobby. I would not chance it. You never know what type of delays with disembarkation might occur. We were delayed getting off on 11/26 due to power issue on a lower deck. I would just deal with sitting in the airport for a few extra hours versus having to pay extra because you missed your flight. Also... While August does have less hurricane activity than September, it can still be an active month.
  10. As a 22 yr. social studies educator and life-long learner, I agree 100% that this could be more educational than what they could get in a classroom. The amazing things I could do with students given the opportunities and locations they will have. Plus, having a dedicated space on board for "school" would be amazing.
  11. Man, am I disappointed in this post... I thought I was going to get to read about someone's assessment of the electrical conduit used onboard. Look at them using the fancy French term for Captain. AI for sure!
  12. How chaotic/loud is the terminal during boarding? We sail out on Harmony 11/19 and have a 1 pm boarding time. We've only had a suite since sailing out of the new terminal and this time we are not in one. Trying to figure out if I need to do the guest special needs form for DW who has combat-related PTSD and deals with anxiety in large crowds at times.
