I'm something like 30 from the front. We are all sitting at tables with our luggage lined up. May peace be your journey. twangster 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twangster 28,535 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 The self assist line circled all the way around the dining room. At 7:30 am they started letting us off. Scheduled time was 8am. By 7:45am I was through and outside. Lyft wanted $127 (no cars nearby) so I looked at Uber which was $52. Needless to say I am in my Uber on the way to Hobby. My flight is at 2:30pm so I'm hoping I can jump on an earlier flight. accio7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twangster 28,535 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Last night "Britain's Finest" were in the main theater. They are a Beatles Tribute band. They are very good. Cruise summary All in all it was a great cruise. I got a great rate booking it under 90 days out. I'm glad I was able to book one of the newer rooms on the ship. Those slides on her have been calling my name and they didn't disappoint. I ended up eating most meals in the Windjammer. The vegetable curry last night had great flavor. Traveling solo the Windjammer is just easier. With this cruise in the books I've completed the Freedom class trilogy. Galveston worked out pretty smoothly but next time I'll likely do a B2B. Almost to Hobby airport and should arrive there around 8:40am. accio7, ellcee and RestingBird 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twangster 28,535 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Southwest wants $186 to try for standby. Looks like I'm stuck in Hobby for 6 hours. Can't check luggage until 10:30am. I saved $150 flying Southwest but I miss my Delta. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes their prices are so far outside the other airlines. twangster 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Todd W 264 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 @twangster looks like the majority of your awesome pics have disappeared. I'm heading out on her in April and was hoping you could point me to your pics if you have them hosted somewhere else. My anticipation kicked into high gear once the new year rolled in. fingers crossed! if not, no big deal Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twangster 28,535 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 I was going to try to get it done over Christmas break but unexpected parental health issues induced an unexpected trip. All is well now. Sweety, FlowBro Ty, JLMoran and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
