dr martini reacted to WAAAYTOOO in Freedom FLL to MIA
Yes. We’re on FR now and someone (can’t recall who but I think it was the Suites Concierge) mentioned that our cruise (Apr 26) was the last one from FLL and that the ship would be moving down to MIA after we disembark (tomorrow) to start doing 3/4 night itineraries. [Ugh]. She mentioned how much the crew HATES the shorties.

dr martini got a reaction from PPPJJ-GCVAB in Freedom FLL to MIA
On fairly short notice couple weeks ago took a casino offer and YOLO booked freedom for next weekend. just noticed this quirk in her schedule....I realize this is a third party site (cruisemapper) technically but it's usually accurate with tracking - tomorrow May 2 is freedom going to do FLL and MIA in the same day?
It's techinically possible I guess, but I just found it interesting.

So the full (delayed) live blog will take a minute because of two main reasons -
1-chasing three little babies and
2- Indy’s internet being so completely slow and unreliable to the point of unusable. I couldn’t get laptop or iPad to connect and upload anything
Arrival last Saturday into port of Miami was a disaster due to the tunnel being closed last minute with no communication from any official channels and most people in the fb group didn’t get on until after 2pm because (Miami) and the huge 395 bridge project that will be at least another two years and coming home port arrival yesterday was delayed with no explanation until after 8 am although if East coast homeland security was skittish or placed holds because of the terrible incident with the helicopter/airline crash in DC I wouldn’t judge or blame them at all, truly once in 25 year type stuff very sad so I will not complain. Flying home tomorrow early will keep sorting photos and give a delayed breakdown soon. Love Indy and the cruise overall was great, as i say the internet was terrible and a few other small issues but nothing insurmountable.

appreciate the feedback, the original price didn't feel so bad because i had some onboard credit from our travel agent plus my Royal credit card bonus points so was feeling flush with them and splurged on a few different things, the casita being one of them. idk, in the interest of research and a place to park the baby support equipment i might keep it. decisions decisions.
dusting of snow here today, doesn't look like weather in florida is much better! crazy new orleans and houston got more snow yesterday than we've had all season up north.

i do also have a casita for our final sea day that i bought like a year ago, man now i'm having second thoughts it's $350 and i keep reading blah reviews about them. i might go on and cancel that, keep the $ for babysitting fees....

49 degrees with rain and fog in Naples yesterday and doesn’t look much better in Miami. Can honestly say in all my life of visiting south florida this is the worst weather I have ever seen. It is better than still below zero at home and it’s gonna get better soon! Gonna head to a couple local seafood stores and find some shrimp and fish to grill later today with the fam all together. There might be relaxing days ahead but today will not be one of them haha taking peace in at least my own bag being organized thank you packing cubes, highly recommend! Especially when you have a trip with different segments like this, using just one packing cube for the first couple nights so i don’t have to rip through everything
