Skid Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 @Lovetocruise2002, Simeon was on our Symphony cruise also. He was pretty decent, but not as good as the second comedian (Rodney Johnson..I do not know Phil Tag). I have been following comedians for more years than you are old. I'll be interested in your take on him. Can you please share the email address for the entertainment dept? Thanks and happy sailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were even some scopes of him with fellow periscopers. He was the comedian on Harmony in 2017 when we sailed. I just found him to be ok. Definitely looking forward to another chance to see him though. WannaCruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was intending to scope but after last night's furore I'm not so sure... (probably will though!) I will definitely post a review on here with comparisons to RC. I would like to live blog it somewhere as I like it as a way to remember the cruise but I'll have to have a think about how/where is best to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 1 day out... Getting to the airport was a breeze today. We made record time! Got the kids dropped off and at DTW in just a few minutes over an hour. When we arrived it was a different story here at McNamara terminal. Complete zoo! It took us almost an hour to get 1 bag checked and to go through security. This is a process that normally takes us about 15-20min max here. Not sure if it’s just regular weekend traffic or if it’s something else but it is way busier than we are used to.

One of our recent cruises, I had everything planned out at the airport, where we wouldn't get to the gate very much before boarding started, but then we got to the ticket counter and there was a college soccer team checking in, then security was a zoo, thank goodness for Priority access and TSA Pre-check.

Skid Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 @Lovetocruise2002, back when we were all younger (May 3, 2018) you helped me with my cabin selection for my May 2019 Symphony cruise. At the time you said "I can't believe that yet another person will sail her before me". Well, tomorrow you will be on Symphony and I'll be home. Color me... Happy sailing!!

Our flight was 10am. We were at the airport by 7am. It was crazy town. They even sent us to the International check in counter because the line for domestic was all the way to the Westin entrance. Then I saw areas open for TSA screening that I never even knew existed. Again, not sure if it was because it was earlier on a Friday morning, as opposed to Saturday when we usually fly out.

I fly out of DTW every other Friday morning at 10:53 and have never seen anything even close to this ! Of course, I am in the other terminal (American Airlines, not Delta) but still ! I have Clear so I might have avoided some of that but I have just never seen that MANY people there EVER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
