Trip Report 2 Broke Guys - on a boat! 😃

Been debating when to post this. Some of you are already aware of our upcoming trip. (First cruise ever!) What came in the mail today inspired me to get started on this pre-TR:

My very first passport.

Note there is only one. Currently we are joking that I’m going alone because Brian’s got rejected. 😆🤔 I’m sure his will arrive Monday. 🤔

When: September 5 to 9, 2022. Translation:

Who are going: Tony & Brian

Who is left out: Kylie, our nearly 14 year old German Shepherd Chow-Chow rescue.

Although she’s having a bath on the back patio right now, the pic of her is from a recent drive to the Florida Keys. We pretty much bring her on all trips now, including WDW. As she has aged, she doesn’t take being left alone as well, even with a trusted sitter. Even for one night.

So although we are very concerned about her, we’re trying to arrange multiple people visiting the house more often than just the sitter would, and offering the sitter extra money for more quality time. (Guilt money, for sure.)

And that will likely be the biggest out of pocket expense for this trip (except maybe the passports) because, true to form, we are doing this 4 night Bahamas cruise out of Miami (including all drinks, fancy meals, liquor tastings and souvenirs) entirely on Chase Disney Visa Rewards Points. 😀👊🏻👏🏻

Well, it wasn’t me.

We’re in the Lyft heading to the port playing, “Who forgot what?”

Brian forgot the seasickness Rx to put behind his ear. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I brought 2 different Dramamines, ginger capsules, and Sea Bands. 😆

ETA: Also wasn’t me: Lyft driver was taking us to the airport instead of the port (like I didn’t type in an address!) costing us 20 minutes, will arrive a little after our boarding window.

The bar stool can’t come soon enough! 😂

I have a friend who stays with me whenever she comes into town for meetings. There has not been a single time she has not forgotten something at my place 🤦🏼‍♀️

Cool glass! And what was in the pixie dust bag?!
(Nosy inquiring minds want to know)!
Jolly Ranchers and Disney stickers.

Arriving and checking in was about the easiest thing ever (once we got here.) We intentionally chose a little bit later arrival time, hoping to avoid standing in line.

It worked! We were dropped off at the curb, where our luggage was whisked away. We breezed through security and several checkpoints, just showing our boarding pass/QR codes. Had our picture taken along the way. Boarded, and our room was ready. Perfect. Easier than an airport or WDW.

And I’m glad I planned ahead with the champagne and fruit/cheese plate. We got right to drinking, noshing and chilling.

After settling in, we went up one deck (taking the stairs rather than the elevator, which I love) to get the lay of the land and grab-n-go a small Turkey & cranberry sandwich from Flo’s (my Grandma’s name.)

As we walked, we were handed the welcome drink ($15 for two, that’s actually pretty good!) I went into the sweet shop to check for sugar free options (none other than gummies) and found that banana gelato staring me in the face. Grabbed one and headed back to the room for the sail away stuff. Later looked at the receipt, and it was only $3.50. I hope they don’t run out. 🤣

Good morning, sunshine!

Found the banana soft serve! (No longer cute enough for a picture.) Hard to decide if the gelato is better (but I think it is!) (That’s next stop!)

Ahbi is our new BFF at the Cove bar since yesterday. #allthedrinks

Brian also forgot a wine key and…the charger for his insulin pump. 🤦🏻‍♂️ We’ll figure something out.

The two sitters say Kylie is good! 😊😊😊😊😊

I don't know much about insulin pumps, but would the medical (infirmary) area on the ship have anything to charge it?
