Hoppy2BHere

Whoo hoo! 10:30… Hopefully we’ll be onboard by 10:15.. You’ll find us at the pub having our customary boarding day Stone IPA…

All I can say is 5 days!!! J&S

Yeah… Wow. Have been watching this morning. Yeah, thank god it wasn’t rush hour. 31.5K avg daily traffic.. Gonna be awhile on that cleanup. There is a Carnival ship based there as well… Hearts are with the families.

Not sure how far south you guys are, but I believe Stuart is also planned to be another stop…

BTW. These are great and we look forward to each of your new posts. You should make these into a deck of cards that we could take with us and play onboard. We could then just hand the bartender the card for a drink we wanted…. Thanks again for creating and posting these! J&S

Good day all! We are onboard as well. Just the two of us. You can find us either in the solarium… or at the pub… or at Giovanni’s eating pasta/pizza…or… Oh… and 78 days!! J&S

YMMV … But we’re doing Utopia B2B2B in September(good price early on) and totally plan on staying on the ship and letting everybody get off. I’m just enjoying the ship so maybe for us will be OK we’re in our late 50s. J&S

We are on B2B2B on Sept 20, 2024. We’ll be picking up everyone's loose ends. Large balcony same room… Would have loved Sky JS. Like @WAAAYTOOO. That is our new favorite after ICON experience.. Guess we need our own RC for the 20th.. J&S

On Feb 10 for Icon, we had an early check in time and were in a suite. We were there around 9:30 - 10 and it was crazy. 6 lanes of cars backed up trying to pickup people and drop off people/luggage. We took an immediate left and up the ramp (just before the backup) into the parking garage and parked. Waited just a bit to finish our morning coffee and rolled our luggage down to the drop off (to the right when you get off elevators). Second in line to check in and second to board the ship. Worked well for us. There was a bit of a delay to start check in, but once open went very quickly.. YMMV. J&S

Okay… Spent some of the day here early yesterday while ship was at CC. Actually pretty relaxing and had the area mostly to ourselves and few other older folks like us (late 50s). We were able to get a couple of the mat like things just out of the water. Water was nice. Little cool to start but was pretty nice in the heat. Music was same as party time, but much much less volume. Good times. Went to lunch, came back and things were picking up. It started getting busy with the post Coco Loco crowd. We bid them farewell when the masses started using the area around our feet as storage… Thank goodness for The Grove!! J&S

Interesting last day early while just leaving CC things heated back up. Quite a few playing and winning. Caught up a bit and quit around 7 after a couple of good pays to almost be even. YMMV. Good trip overall. Only wish it was after April 1 for the points…

I was told we are at 5700 this week..Still feels pretty bare. Aquadome was full for the show last night, just in time for it to be cancelled AGAIN for too much movement…We watched from the coastal kitchen…

Better last night. No hand pays but at least some decent wins (5-600 range) to keep interest. Good atmosphere for fun. Roulette was my friend again. Confirmed tables and cashier are tied together for 5k. Machines are separate and an additional 5k. Overall a good time. J&S

Onboard now. Slots pretty good first couple of days. Really tight last 2 days. 2nd night 18k and 15k jackpots announced and observed. We have been playing mostly dancing drums with little luck lately. Not much recirculation at all… Roulette has been good on my fixed #s. Prime drinks are good and do not seem to care if you grab and go at the bar. Will ask about the cash out max this PM. J&S

Received ours yesterday evening. (Monday)
