CGTLH 2,616 Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 I normally start this sooner and on a different tone. But staying a few nights prior in Tampa got in my way (in a good way). Booked itinerary is as follows: Tampa, Sea day, Costa Maya, Cozumel, Sea day, finally back in Tampa. However I'm not sure if my new friend Gordon will change those plans. For these that are new to reading my LIVEish. Check out my previous one to get an idea of what fine quality work I produce: LIVEish, 7 Days on Harmony (05/12/2018 or 12/05/2018 add to the mix May 12, 2018) For the record yes, I'm slacking. Still at the hotel debating when to leave for the port. ellcee, Sweety, Lovetocruise2002 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweety 1,398 Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 We took this cruise August 20. We had a wonderful time. If you go to WJ, tell Chef Fernando the Chicago Bears fan says hello. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twangster 25,657 Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Looks like a delayed departure. James Van Fleet just tweeted about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CGTLH 2,616 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 One important thing I learned. The importance of the SetSail pass. Got stuck for a few minutes as the group in front of me had to be manifest cross checked. Also, port asked for laptops to be removed from carry on bag for screening.

CGTLH 2,616 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Still haven't heard of any departure updates. Not going to complain either. accio7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CGTLH 2,616 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Official update is no update Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CGTLH 2,616 Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Update: Expected departure is a little bit after 11pm. Heard things right, going to Cozumel first with expected arrival at 11:30 with departure time adjusted to equal out hours. Added: Sums up things well, from James Van Fleet. Update @RoyalCaribbean #MajestyoftheSeas, plan is to leave by Midnight, that will give us plenty of room to drop south behind Tropical Storm #Gordon. Expecting it becomes a Hurricane tracking towards New Orleans/Mobile. We will flip Itinerary but still make all Ports of Call. https://t.co/eO9Esv6OFy accio7, ellcee and Lovetocruise2002 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CGTLH 2,616 Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 On thing I have forgotten about... Windjammer Recon! Bit of a challenge and didn't get the full selection. For the record the theme for the night was "American". Over head shot, note at dinner tonight only this section was open. The one that is more forward was closed off. Once things died down a bit I was able to get a few shots. Action station was "Mongolian Grill". Carvery item was "Striploin of Beef" Going to guess this was the "American" theme station Another island, interesting item were the corn dogs. Hidden behind the black container was lasagna. Finish it up with dessert. accio7, Lovetocruise2002 and cruiselife 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CGTLH 2,616 Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Update, as of about 5 minutes ago (10:50pm) we are finally on the move. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CGTLH 2,616 Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Passed under the bridge around 1:10am. Check out Periscope for a recap. No photos, last minute thought to grab my camera. Lens kept fogging up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CGTLH 2,616 Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Don't ask me why I'm still up. Will add Compass Deli had a nice spread (closed at 1am). Taco/naco bar, salad bar, carving station, and pre made sandwiches and desserts. Cold case Carving station, in this instance it was pastrami. accio7 and Lovetocruise2002 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
