The Snack Shack "Special" is the chicken sandwich with the mozzarella sticks on it. One thing about snack shacks (one behind the pool, one in the waterpark, one at south beach) is that it opens a half hour before the other main food places. Captain Jack's wings (upcharge) I didn't care for. I have not tried the beach club yet.

There is a SpaceX Falcon 9 (Starlink 4-22) launch scheduled this Sunday morning at 10:20 at Kennedy Space Center, so heads up for folks getting in (either to watch, or be prepared for some extra traffic coming in) https://www.kennedyspacecenter.com/launches-and-events/events-calendar/2022/july/rocket-launch-spacex-falcon-9-starlink-4-22

Just booked this one because of Kids Sail free without even realizing it was the group cruise. This is going to be the third! cruise Matt and co will be on that we're on purely by coincidence. We're also going on Mariner for the May 28th Bermuda cruise which will get us to Diamon, so two in a relatively short period on the same ship is new for us. The July 17th one will be the first as Diamond members. Last was Wonder of the Seas (2nd sailing00Ran into Matt at Adventure Ocean dropoff and wound up in the same elevator after), and Odyssey back in September. But neither was a real "group" cruise.

Promenade Parades returning soon?

That would be a surprise for those on Freedom tomorrow, it's the only ship scheduled to be there, so Wonder could also dock if they need to. Anyone on Freedom be on the lookout tomorrow. Right now it swapped to the terminal next to 18 in Ft. Lauderdale while Vision of the Seas is there hanging out, maybe swapping crew?

This is a good thing, one of the perks about working on a cruise ship has been seeing the world, and visiting the ports being on there so long without it takes its toll. In general if the crew is happy, so are the guests.

It's getting very close to the halfway point between Cadiz and Ft. Lauderdale.

This all came through in a few days, so all the paperwork reflected the balcony by the 11th. Even Royal Up thinks I'm in a balcony now, so I bid for a suite (jr and grand). So if I go from interior to suite on this sailing it'll be the craziest upgrade ever for us.

That looks like the last T-AIS (Terrestrial Automated Identification System) (About 11-12 hours old), make sure the tracking site works with S-AIS (Satellite), the more recent satellite position is well west of there. Most of the free only show T-AIS and Satellite positions are behind a pay wall, I think Cruisemapper still shows sat positions though.

Just got this email, we booked an interior for 3: Dear Guest, As we're looking forward to welcoming you onboard your upcoming March 11, 2022 Wonder of the Seas sailing, we have a quick change to share with you.

You can see the ore-inagural schedule now. At first when I read the heading I was thinking a Grateful dead cruise would be kinda cool, but it's not quite that. Beyond that it's inspections in Ft. Lauderdale, a shakedown/adjustment cruise. and a "2 night trade event & naming cruise". (aka media/travel agents)

Harmony is in Labadee right now.
