I haven't felt this stress free in a long time and we haven't even left yet!

Yeah I'm going to be here in the lounge a lot. This coffee machine is great.

At the port, little early. Took like 2 mins to get to suite area. Pretty nice in here!

Not impressed with voom. I just have to start uploading pics and walk away.

Busy day. Didnt take a ton of pics but i think I'm Going to bed early.  Lots to do and plenty of time... for now.
 
The muster was very informal compared to the disney cruise. I felt like I was watching a bad bond knock off at the aquatheater

Concierge is Jeremias and Mohamed . Haven't met them yet though.
 
Here are some pics of 1702. The obstruction is there but I dont think it's an issue at all.
 
 

So far this is a full on live blog. In the Suite lounge!

Made it Country Inn and Suites Port Canveral. Room is pretty nice. In laws in route with some cuban sandwhiches too. I'm more excited by these sandwhiches than the cruise food!
 
Doesnt look like this hotel has a bar though, going to need to take a trip out for beers and icecream!

 

Leaving Jersey. Cant wait to get outta here! Foggy, rainy and cold

Ok, that food pic is not ok. Why didn’t you have the filet in CK?? ? #teamCK

Yeah sorry about the food pic. I might just skip those all together lol.
 
11 of us on the ship. Only 3 of us in a suite. We have most of the dining where we can all go. I have at least 1 day planned for CK, and breakfast tomorrow. 
 
Anyway, it was way too early to go to sleep so I did some wondering around solo, got some decent night pics.

I forgot to take a pic before I ate...  so here are my mdr scraps. I got the ny strip, wife got the prime rib, and I got the chicken marsala to share.

Day 8 - ☹
 
This will be our second cruise and we will be celebrating out 10th Anniversary on this cruise. Myself, my wife and our 8 year old daughter are in a Crown Loft Suite, My sister in law and mother in law, and 2 other families that we are friends. 11 People total with 3 kids all 8 years old. Since we have the grandma on board so looks like we might have some good child care options for the kids! (not sure if grandma knows that yet though lol)
 
We are flying out of Newark, NJ the day before into Orlando and staying at a hotel near the port. We used to live in Florida so we are very familiar with the areas. I only care about 1 thing at the port, I needs me a Cuban Sandwich. You just can’t get good Cuban food in Jersey.
 
We put in a bid to Royal Up to a 2 bedroom aqua theater suite, that would catapult us into Star Class but I’m not going to get my hopes up too much on that! (but a guy can wish right?)
 
Things I am most excited for to:
·         The 10 year celebration! We are planning to do a vow renewal. I wish some of my family was able to attend but it just wasn’t in the cards. My sister in law is going to host the service and it looks like we will be having it in our suite.
 
·         The overwater cabana! We booked an overwater cabana for our Perfect Day at Coco Cay. It looks like we will be one of the first to get to experience this. Expect lots of pictures! (They are supposed to be opening these up on Jan 31st and we are there Feb second… hope it’s ready in time!!)
 
·         Sailing with friends and family! This is going to be great. We should get lots of “adult time” with other people. Our last cruise was just the 3 of us on a Disney Cruise. It was our best family vacation ever but it’s going to be great to experience a cruise with friends on board.
 
·         The “suite life”! We were ruined years ago when we upgraded to a concierge experience on one of our vacations, now we can only travel like this. We take full advantage of the perks and it really does add to our enjoyment.
 
I am an extreme over planner. Vacations are my jam. I have a bunch of activities already planned out. To make sure we see as much as possible I have been working on a scavenger hunt that will send us out in teams to take pictures of stuff and activities around the ship. I am very excited about this.
 
So what are some must see things for Harmony? Let’s hear them!
 
Now I just need to finish my vows…
Here's the invite my wife made to send to everyone traveling with us.
