Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Late night snack… Kids got quite the laugh out of “beef cheeks”. D14 and Hubby ordered this. Hubby loved it. I tried it, for airplane food, not bad. D14 gave hers to Hubby. She said it tasted like cheeks. I don’t even know what that means. D16 and I got the pasta.

Cruiser4Life Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 2 hours ago, WAAAYTOOO said: So true ! Yessss… agreed. I’ve learned never to go Day 1 leaving FLL or Miami as the passage along the south coast of Florida is rocky and it almost always gets cancelled…sometimes the ice show too. I always feel bad for first time cruisers that were afraid of seasickness as they think the whole cruise will be as rough as departing on night 1. We try to tell as many people as we can that it will most definitely get better and the worst is probably over!

I received this toiletry bag along with several other matching pieces (tote, back pack and some zippered pouches) over our Xmas sailing. Our toiletry bag had an assortment of shower/bath products in it. It arrived Xmas eve but I never knew who it came from. I chalked it up to a secret Santa gift. I agree with your review, but we used the back pack on our excursions. Lovetocruise2002, Sokko and SweetPea 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Backtracking to this morning. QLS Transportation picked us up at 9:30am. They were on time and it was a good experience. On the way to the port. Check in was super efficient. Fastest one ever. Maybe because we got there around 10:20am or maybe because HM was not dealing with disembarking others today. Not sure but we were greeted at the star class podium, bags were tagged super fast, zero wait to go through security and passport checks. Marla met us as we were wrapping up passport checks and off we went to get on board. Since not everyone in our group has sailed HM, Marla took a few minutes to explain where things are before we left the promenade.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 The Villa on Harmony First impressions…this room much larger than I expected based on videos and pictures. There is plenty of space for all 10 of us. Lots of storage. We are not even using all of the drawers and the hall closet is empty. The outdoor space is huge. Entrance and Main Hallway Main Living Space Master on the hot tub side Inside without the ensuite bath. This room is very small. The freeloaders are complaining. Bathroom in the hallway (not attached to any room). Inside room with the ensuite. This room is a bit more spacious. Second master on the side with the wet bar.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 The rest of the afternoon was spent just relaxing. My parents wandered around the ship (a lot lol), we unpacked and settled in, kids did some exploring. Great start so far. At 4pm the Captain announced that all guests actually completed e-muster. That was a pleasantly surprising announcement. Sail away should be on time. Just chilling now. Trying to digest food and get ready for filet night!
