Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Got our luggage before 2:30pm which means that we are completely unpacked and settled in before muster drill! What a great feeling!! Ugh...the announcements are starting.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 This has got to be one of the worst locations for muster in the summer! It is so awful, hot, and smelly!

Joe01 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 What's the problem with Muster? I must be the only person that likes it. AquaTheater isn't the best location, but we had it in the Fitness Center on Harmony and had to stand so that qualifies as the worst location for Muster IMO.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Backtracking a bit to boarding at Terminal A. Once we got there, things moved quickly. This was our first time in Terminal A and we thought that it lived up to the hype. Suites boarding was extremely efficient. Once you enter, you head right and someone puts you on an elevator right up to the suites waiting area. The red carpet leading up to the elevator is a very nice touch. There are crew members there with iPads to check you in. Beautiful waiting area as well. Definitely the best so far. cruisestuff, SpeedNoodles, Matt and 6 others 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Room tour! Crown Loft Suite (L1) - Ocean facing Love it! It is the perfect size for Hubby and I . The configuration is almost identical to our Star Loft on Harmony. You will see the similarities in the pictures. The only noticeable differences (because of the shorter width) is the missing extra hallway and vanity leading to the downstairs bathroom and the bigger balcony. I truly just want to stay in my cabin all week. This could end up being a pretty boring blog from this point out. When you enter...

I did not really care for it then and tonight’s show has done nothing much to change my mind. Both Hubby and I felt that the cast was fairly weak compared to the Anthem WWRY cast that we just saw or even the Grease cast from Harmony. And overall, that type of production is not really to our liking. Random observation tonight, about two thirds of the way through, it was noticed that people starting walking out. I thought that only happened for Cats The original plan was to head over to see HIRO after Hairspray but in the end we are too tired. Decided to come back to our loft and soak up as much time as we can in it. HIRO tomorrow instead. bellemiche, hayley_bopp, ellcee and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed it more than hairspray, but thought the cast did well when we were on in January. I want to say the sailing we were on might have been the last for that cast. Hiro was pretty good as well I thought. Amazing what those divers can do on a moving cruise ship! Enjoy your anniversary!
