Made it onto Wonder

Got an email this morning (boarding day) from assigned Genie Israel that he is unfit for duty and that we now have Marla. Will be interesting to see how this transition works out. We can see Wonder from hotel room.

Correct. My comment was intended to be humorous. A ship connected to shore power with engines off is less likely to have a fire in funnel.

Made it to Barcelona. Tested at SFO airport with Emed tests before getting on plane. All four of us tested negative and before taking test I verified that UTC time is on results which showed June 3, two days before sailing. Nice hotel in Barcelona. Pounding some beers and headed to Gothic Quarter for dinner.

Schedule from Genie.

That the ship will wait for passengers to finish their beers at the pier side bar.

Safe travels. I will likely run into you during our sailing. I’m interested in hearing about your pre cruise travels.

Harmony Bridge crew could have been involuntarily “under the influence” A “contact high” is very possible that close to Jamaica. I have been to no other island where this explanation is possible.

If this situation occurs on a Royal ship with a kids splash pad, the situation could be quickly controlled by pointing all water cannons at funnel.

Tests to get off ship for 12+ not fully vaccinated in Italy are $55. I asked and Royal confirmed that test only good for that day. Three stops=$165 plus time, hassle and risk of going to naughty room. Italy can be enjoyed from the comfort of ones balcony. I’m not sure if Spanish Steps are viewable from Civitavecchia.

She had been fed low grade diesel for years. Her hind quarters built up soot (unburnt fuel) and the fire was her Colyte. I bet she feels much better now.

I don’t think Carnival Freedom was connected to shore power.

Good on you for being brave enough to take young kids. I think I’m on your sailing (June 5th). I’m leaving my three kids at home because the places which my wife and I want to see will not hold our kids attention. One thing to consider is leaving your kids in adventure ocean if there is a stop in which something you want to do is not suitable for kids and then plan a kid type thing for a different port. Example: beach day in Palma with kids, museum in Florence without kids.

Stock price is different than market capitalization. A lower stock price does not necessitate a lower value company. At today’s close Royals market cap is $12.68B and Carnival $13.82B

The Abbott Royal Caribbean proctored tests.

I don’t know what all will be on report regarding the local time of test. It will have UTC time listed which will be Friday (1:00am), 2 days before departure. One should not have the two day window shrunk due to time zone differences. If I get pushback I will sick my Genie on the check in agent.

I’m in California (pacific time zone) and will be taking my test on Thursday at 6:00pm local, before getting on plane for Barcelona. This is 3:00am Barcelona, 1:00am Universal time Friday which is two days before Sunday cruise departure.

I think your room has a bidet too. If the Oysters from Hooked are bad I’ll hit you up.

Yes, at high or low tide.

Per above I’m fully vaccinated every morning. Anyone over 270 days should see a doctor.
