Correct, haven't seen those blue menus that were introduced in the beginning of this year.
-
Fine Line was amazing! Seems with each ship the Aqua show tops the previous one. Just wonder what Harmony will have to offer. Side note: Other than the themed bars (Scooner, pub, etc..), haven't seen any drink menus.

Did lunch in the MDR. The lines were split two ways. One for the a la carte other buffet. In the center they had the salad station along, hot dishes, breads, cheese and meats, dessert table, and a stir fry station.

I know I haven't been any sort of daily recap so far. Truth be told, haven't done really that much to fully write about. For Day 1, check-in process had to been the fastest I've done. Without having to fetch cards and explain them to me it cut the time in half. Everything other than the photos was done online. No issues with the BOGO Cruise Planner offer at CP 150 the first night. Only minor issue was we wound up with two reservations at different times. Day 2, top tier past guest party at 10:30. Some casino time around noon ($5 table mins from noon-1pm). Around 2:00 was a cabin crawl. After that, back to the casino. Enjoyed lounge drinks and snack before heading to Wonderland. After Wonderland went back to the room for a "quick nap", next thing I knew it was the next morning. Attached it the list of all the shows and parties. ShowList 1.pdf

Second time staying in a CLS, love it. I enjoy how open and bright the room is. Both times the cost to upgrade from a Grand Suite, after final payment, was not that much.

Wonderland continued Pork Belly Chicken Branzino

Folks I'm still here. Just haven't had the opportunity to post anything. Top Pinnacles on board were 985, 1070, and 1237 points. Did hear them mention the numbers for the different levels. Looked around Windjammer for lunch to see the layout. For those that are wondering, yes they have a full bar on the port side. They also had rolling tubs near the back with iced down drinks (beer, water, and sparkling water) plus a few wines. Outside of dedicated dessert stations I did not see any other gluten free stations or labeled as such. They did have stuff marked dairy free and vegetarian. Also in the back area they have a grill station cooking up stuff fresh (not made to order) and a pasta station. Other than that they will be hosting a birthday bash today celebrating Harmony's first year. Also haven't had the opportunity to capture the Compasses yet to post.

So far the table mins have been $10 in the casino. In craps for 6/8 it has been $12 on each.

For the record, my drink count is around four or five right now. Thank god for auto correct!

Thanks Now I'm going to learn I should wash wash our hands and how to put on a life jacket.

Hotel post... For those wondering about Embassy Suites and the Premium Suites. Here is a picture of the vending machine and the contents. At check in you get a code that is valid for 79 uses. Picture looking down from the 11th floor. Cocktail hour was from 5:30-7:30, spirits used was a bunch of no name brand stuff.

Made it to the Ft. Lauderdale airport.
-
Darn, no chance of a last minute upgrade. Called and they said the manifest has been submitted. Who knows what can happen later today or over night. One can wish, right?
-
Made it to Orlando for a quick 20-30 minute stop. It is now 1:10 and getting ready to get back on the road.

Also, just want to make one request for any replies. PLEASE if your are replying to a post with a bunch of pictures (say more than two) don't include them. I primarily use a mobile device so it helps on the scrolling, also helps out others trying to follow along as well. Finally, keep in mind again I'm on a mobile device. So pardon any auto correct and errors in general. Other than that thank you for following along. Currently I'm on the road heading to Ft. Lauderdale. Should arrive there by 4:30pm EDT. Added: If you want to send me an email direct: [email protected] Keep in mind this is essentially a burner address. So after this cruise it will eventuality be shut down if spam takes it over. While a burner, it is a direct contact method to me. If you enter "my circle of trust" I'll use my real email.

Right as planned, about 90% of the way packed. As I thought, only took around 90 minutes or so. Biggest helper I've found are the packing cubes. Help so much in keeping everything organized and speeds things up. I'm going to be open, on formal night I'm one of those with a long sleeve shirt and tie. Up until about 2-3 months ago I never even owned a suit. The sports coat I have no longer fits and I think after the fourth or fifth cruise I stopped bothering with it. Rest of the night I'll wear a collared shirt and long pants. *Disclaimer: I never wear shorts, not much of a sun worshiper/water person so I don't lounge out. I do have the option of shorts with a pair of zipoff pants, the kind you can remove the leg right around the knee. That is it for now. Might post some more stuff while on the road heading to Ft. Lauderdale. Bus leaves at 7:30am arrives at the airport around 4:10pm. Has about a 30 minute stop in Orlando.
