KristiZ Posted October 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Day 13 - At Sea Our last full day! How can this be??!? The crew is looking forward to an extra day off between our arrival in Miami and the repositioning to Tampa. A number of them have talked about having a beer and laying by the pool for a day. The interesting thing that happened today was that Captain Stig was displeased with how the Canal treated his lady. He found us a calm spot of ocean and we sat for about an hour while crews cleaned up and painted some scrapes. The captain said he didn’t want to go into Miami looking like we had been in a fight We stopped next to a haunted lighthouse in the Bahamas.

KristiZ Posted October 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Day 14 - Debarkation sigh. Hi there, Miami. I really don’t want to go! It was so, so nice to be back on a cruise again! I very much like the new “wait in your stateroom until your number is called” debarkation program. Much more pleasant than everyone crowding into the public spaces to wait. CBP was either very bored or specifically looking for something today. Lots of officers all over, and no breezing out waving your US passport. Still didn’t take too long, fortunately. The nice taxi whisked us to Miami airport, where we now sit awaiting our flight to Managua. I have to say, the departure PCR testing Royal offers worked flawlessly. In addition to Covid we were tested for Flu A, Flu B, and RSV, just for funzies I guess! We had our results in less than 2 hours, with all the stamps and signatures the government of Nicaragua requires. MisterZ declared he is once again fully #TeamSuite. I fear what will happen the first time we’re on Oasis-class… Thank you all for following along!

Much more pleasant than everyone crowding into the public spaces to wait. I didn't want to either! And I agree waiting in your stateroom is so much better. Thanks for sharing your trip. It's been great. Safe travels home. WAAAYTOOO and KristiZ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedNoodles Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 I love that the Captain didn't want to bring his ship in looking like she'd, well, been through a canal! KristiZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know where I can get more info? I recall the captain saying something about Great Isaac Cay, so try your googling there. We were there at high tide, so my photo doesn't show as much of the island as is visible at other times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
