Nothing wrong with chicken... but everything else is better, lol. Reminds me of the old adage... Like your meat well done? Order the chicken!!

GatorCruiser Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 So yeah, today is go time. Starbucks currently getting consumed. Pack up the chaos that is the hotel room and bounce to the port. We have a 10:30 boarding time. Our Royal up failed (no ultimate family suite or Royal loft for us). Will have to slum it for the week in our GS. I kid, I kid. Weather this am is postcard lovely. See y’all in a bit. Lovetocruise2002, WAAAYTOOO, Ampurp85 and 4 others 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hope to be parked in the garage sometime before 10am. We both slept awful so about to gulp down some coffee myself and get on the road in a little while. I could say we'll be the ones wearing St. Patrick's Day gear (well I have a t-shirt, my wife has an entire ensemble complete with a fedora and socks, lol) but that's probably not going to make us stand out.
