    MO & LO on the go! got a reaction from Zambia-Zaire in Explorer | Feb 7-16, 2020 | First Time To ABC Islands!   
    Sorry for no more updates last night.  Something hit me and I went to bed very early.  Now today is a sea day so it will be low key.  Tonight is formal night (which we found odd so soon).  
    Can’t beat the view from the balcony!

    Well that was an experience getting to the port...
    We signed up for the shuttle service from the hotel but someone jumped on our spot.  The staff did not stop the people from doing this so we sat at the hotel for another 30-45 minutes.  When the driver came back he picked us up and we then went to a different hotel and picked up a van full of Norwegian Cruise passengers.  We went there first and dropped all them off.  Then he said he was going to pick up more people to bring back.  We sat for a bit at a gate but no one came so he drove to our dock and then stopped.  He came over to the door and opened it and we asked if this was our spot to which he said it was.  It’s been a strange morning getting here.....but WE MADE IT.  It was about a 2 hour adventure to get to the port!
    In regards to the coronavirus stuff, we did not notice anything different other than that they asked more questions about where we had been and who we had been with but other than that we did not see anything different (but we did get there later than normal as mentioned above).
    Here was security...not too bad


    We went to the diamond/diamond plus line and had about 12 couples in from of us.  Then we looked at the platinum/emerald line and there was 1 couple!  We should have payed better attention to the lines!
    Check in was a breeze and took no time at all.  Walked right on the ship with no real wait!
    We went straight to the shore excursion desk to try and get a bed-thingy for labadee but they were sold out!  We are number 1 on the wait list!  He said we might be able to get 1 since people book 2 since they don’t realize that 1 reservation is for 2 people.
     
    more to come soon....we did our usual rounds and then sat at the “mouth-jammer”!

    Quick update this morning.  Woke up to HEAVY rain pretty early.  This is what it looks like outside!

    This is not what we had in mind for our first day of this trip and boarding the ship!  

    We signed up for the hotel shuttle service which was $10 a person.  Not too bad of a price.  
     
    The issue with luggage tags and set sail pass was solved!  The hotel had an area where they had a desktop computer with a free printer to use!!!  CRISIS AVERTED!!  ?
     
    Leaving for the ship in about 3 hours so stay tuned!  Thanks to all that are following along!

    Well we made it safely to Miami.  Had a little bumpy ride over northern Florida where no one was allowed to leave their seats.  We are now going to get a good night sleep and call it a day.  Stay tuned for boarding day!  
    One thing we did that we have NEVER done before is forgot the set sail pass and luggage tags.....we are going to work on that before we leave for the port tomorrow!  So far I took a picture of the set sail pass and hope that works ? (this ship is not available on the RCCL app for the electronic set sail pass).

    Following. I lived in Minneapolis for 18 months. Your dogs are beautiful. I am a coward, I let my husband take the dogs to the kennel. The sad eyes are too much for me. I was on Explorer this past holiday season. The ship is beautiful. Please tell Sharita in the Windjammer hello.
