It worked out PERFECTLY! It's meant to be!!!!

It's interesting - when I got off Jewel, we were at Terminal 19 in PE. I had scheduled my Lyft days before for 8am and had no issues whatsoever with getting the ride (it came early) and getting out/waiting there. I didn't think RC used 19 much, but maybe it does? It was a good experience. Glad you were able to get yours without too much issue. Yay for being home and DOUBLE YAY for a direct flight! I wish that was possible for me more often - usually, I can get them to LA or Houston, but not elsewhere with a cruise port. Oh, sometimes Seattle. The blue thong man has scarred my brain. Thank you, LOL. Enjoy getting your kitty back too!

OMG I finally caught up. It feels good to be back in blog land! Reality isn't great at the moment, BUT! I was on Jewel last week for a 4 nighter. I was thinking of you, @Ampurp85, and wondering if you were cruising at the same time too but only got on the blogs here today. Your cruise shenanigans are on point. Also, I started lifting over the summer and it's rough...but I LOVE it. The photo of your brother lifting made me go but also gave me a goal to work toward. I actually enjoyed the fitness center on Jewel, much more so than I remember on Allure/Oasis class. IZUMI IS TO DIE FOR. If only they would stop pushing for those damn survey ratings...

I got really excited too...and then put it in my cart to see the price and wasn't so excited at that point. Darn it.

Jumping on board this thread: is there a special place for suite luggage drop off? Or would you just drop off your luggage in the same place with everyone else?

I always bring one just in case. Have never needed it (thank goodness), but it makes ME feel better that it's covered.

I'm not a true vintage but I had Covid at the end of May (just as we were getting on our Alaska cruise, UGH), and I *still* feel like I need to clear my throat from gunk. It's been two months! It just seems like illnesses are lingering more lately. Ugh. Loving the blog, took me awhile to catch up @Lovetocruise2002! Love seeing you enjoy your happy places (including the FlowRider LOL).

I love that the RC Blog podcast has little AI-generated graphics to go with them now. This week's made me choke on my drink and cry laughing. If I ever meet @Matt, I'll know exactly how to distinguish him from others based on the graphic.

I feel that 11:30 is very reasonable. If you take the shuttle that RC provides, it leaves at 8:30. a.m.. You'll get to the airport at 9:15ish. Definitely plenty of time for an 11:30 flight!

Me too! I'm doing Jewel. How about you?

@OCSC Mike I always assumed it stood for Orange County, Southern California. West Coast is the best coast! Hola. It's been ages since I've been over here. Trying to get better about reading again. I'm glad your cruise is going well thus far, and that you're feeling better. Definitely jealous of all the food and drinks!

Fabulous! Thank you for taking the time to do this and all the wonderful photos.

I was shocked to see Thrill Waterpark + cabana for $680ish for my September Jewel sailing. Kind of a waste for just me...so I picked up CBC for $92!

OMG WHY DON'T I LIVE NEAR POOCH omg I'd gain so much weight from eating all her cooking. A worthwhile way to go...

CRUISE DAY rain stay away!!!!!!
