NapTime

First time cruising out of Baltimore. Will be a good break from the December cold with the girlfriend.

I leave my passport in the safe on the ship, but I take a photo of it on my phone. I always have my passport card (I keep it in my wallet always with my DL) when I leave the ship. It was only $30 move when I renewed my passport. You can use it on land and sea crossings from Canada Mexico Caribbean and Bermuda just not air travel.

Calafia Valley Wine Country I just did this 2 weeks ago had two tasting at two different wineries. It took 45 mins to get to the wine country. First winery was called Finca Tre' got a great tour and to take pictures with the horses in the stables felt like a high end Napa tour. 2nd winery was a more artisan winery called La Casa de Dona Lupe was able to taste different types of cheese, salsas and breads both had 4 different wines for tasting. I enjoyed our guide and driver and would recommend $50 price was well worth it

While In the port of Mazatlan Mexico. The crew were preforming drills and a lifeboat fell into the sea you can read the letter attached for the details We left the lifeboat behind and the captain assured everyone that we had plenty left. I didn’t see it happen I was on a excursion but spoke with a guest and would did and they we shook up a bit Glad no one got hurt

I was just in Ensenada on Thursday on navigator we did a wine tour didn’t feel unsafe at all. It was a good 45 minutes north of port. There was a federally checkpoint other than that beautiful countryside.

I just received this today also I wonder if mine is different because I just got off Symphony Saturday with the new menu

Starlink on Symphony been great all week

Last month on Alure the buy in was $100 (1000 chips) and unlimited rebuys for the first hour for $50 (1000 chips) as long as you were below 1000 chips. Some people bought in 4-5 times I know they are trying to get the prize pool as high as they can for the rake but it wasn't fun until after the first hour. Just be prepared going in they will play any 2 cards knowing they can just rebuy

Flew from California to Spain cruised Spain, France, Italy worth every penny

I tested negative last night but I did pick up some kind of head cold. Going to test again in a couple of days. Glad your symptoms are not to bad get well soon
