Arrived at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown hotel where I’ll be for the next 4 nights.

No Diamondbacks games this week, but I just walked through the mass of Phoenix Suns fans headed to the NBA playoff game I curing a few blocks away tonight.Läs mer

Resenär That was trying for me! Also, the sun was glaring in my eyes and I was trying to capture the sign on the stadium. Just ugh! These selfies are not going well.

Two bad baseball games today. UH beat 6-0 at the very lovely Anteater Baseball Stadium at UC Irvine.

Neither team I was rooting for could score a run while I watched them play. Oh well.

Resenär We watched the UH Rainbow volleyball team lose the national championship to UCLA today. 😫. UCLA was impressive . The Bows just couldn’t seem to get their powerful kills past UCLAs blockers. JMH

Bottom 10 List
6 maj 2023, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F
First solo cruise experience and reflecting on the cruise in general. Here is my list of the 10 most notable stressful/negative aspects of this trip (in order):

10. Food. Was good overall, but not great, especially for specialty dining.
9. Signing bar slips for drinks as I wasn’t on a drink package. (That said, I didn’t have to do this at the Sunset Bar and I saved a ton of $’s not being on a drink package.)
8. Finding a decent available lounger in the pool area.
7. OceanView vs balcony (verandah) cabin ( Yes, I’m spoiled!).
6. Constant reconnection to wifi until I figured out my “auto-join” was turned off.
5. Cruise ship TP.
4. Trying to find a place to set my plate down to eat in the buffet.
3. Including the week before and week after the cruise, was a long time to be away from family. Would rather have done this trip with Chanj than alone.
2. Looking over the edge of the ship from Deck 10 or 11.
1. Being fearful of dropping my phone while taking pictures along the ship’s railing.Läs mer

Resenär Can totally relate to your observations. You are discovering the differences between cruise lines. We settled in with HAL and have felt very comfortable with them. It will be interesting to see the changes since our last cruise with them in 2015.

You can get it going any time boys. Arrived during the mid-innings of Game 1 to find the good guys down 6-0.

Unfortunately they got 10-run ruled in the 7th.

Top 10 List
6 maj 2023, Förenta staterna ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F
The more I cruise the more I love it, though there are downsides (see Bottom 10 List). Here are my personal highlights for this particular cruise, and a few related to ocean cruising in general.

10. Good nights of sleep. Quiet and gentle rocking of ship being major factors.
9. Always something to do, and an excuse not to do any of it.
8. Wearing my swimsuit to the pool and 100% of the people there don’t know me and won’t see me again (most likely).
7. Casino - and came out a little ahead
6. Watching the world slip by, or simply the vastness of the ocean. Including, docking and Sail Aways - interesting and enjoyable.
5. Fair winds and calm seas!
4. Two weeks, over 4,600 nm, and I only unpacked and packed once.
3. Sunset Bar staff that comped me numerous gin and tonics even though I wasn’t on the drink package (saved a couple $100’s in ship charges).
2. Smiles and “good day”’s all around by staff and passengers (generally).
1. Bucket list trip through the Panama Canal and to Central America, with all the friendly locals, beauty, and warts seen along the way.

Notice I didn’t list the entertainment. There were some good shows on Celebrity, but nothing I enjoyed more than sitting with Emma at the HAL Music Walk.Läs mer

Final Cruise Footprint

Had breakfast and awaiting disembarkation. The process is running way slow due to customs in the terminal. So I get an extra hour or more to chill on board.
