So we have arrived in Galveston safely after 13 hours on the road today.Received emails that boarding will be delayed because of Coast guard inspection. Boarding will begin at 12:00

This sailing I will have my sister  Renee with me. This is her first time on Harmony . Also her first time in Galveston.

We will have an Aqua theatre suite. Wendy is our genie. Ready to relax and get ready to board tomorrow.

On ship having lunch

 

[Cruisin and Boozin]

[OCSC Mike]

Those bacon wrapped chicken jalapenos are easily one of my favorite things served on any ship! I mentioned how much I liked them to our server on Allure last month for dinner and she brought me a triple order, lol. Hope you started off with a great lunch!

[Cruisin and Boozin]

Sabor where do I began. Let’s just say not happy with most of what we got for lunch. Jalapeño wraps were the only edible thing. The strawberry margaritas flavorless. I know it embarkation day and everything is rushed but I think for this sailing we will not be back.

Sorry to hear. Oh well, plenty of food left to be eaten, The jalapeno cucumber margaritas are usually good if you want to stop back just for a drink. Hard to make those flavorless unless they forget the jalapenos.

Sad to hear this!  On allure it was our go to.  I love the handcrafted margaritas there.  I brought strawberries to  add to my margaritas.

The ice show 1887 a journey in time. We had front row seats . Very good program we would give it a 10/10.

[Ampurp85]

It looks like you and your sister are having a ball. I love 1887, to me it might be my favorite of the ice shows. But the most important question .......is who got the master and who got the other room

Yeah, that's why I asked. The one in your picture is the one we usually always get. I have never come across Moet Ice as the complimentary bottle of champagne. Thought that was interesting.

Follow up question for @Cruisin and Boozin, did you ask for Moet Ice in your pre-cruise emails? Or did you just ask for Moet and that's what they gave you?

Beyond frustrating! I feel like I over tipped genie by 4.78% since I was given inferior Champagne. 
Has anyone has any success asking their genie for a $28.32 refund on tipped amount or should I speak with Jason Liberty directly?

[Cruisin and Boozin]

@Lovetocruise2002 I ask for champagne for my welcome aboard or sail away drink. This has been the champagne I’ve received for the second time ever.
