Welcome, Ziah!
05-06 18:31

Seas have been pretty calm and relaxing
05-06 18:31
Rush:
Mat is aboard ship as we “speak”!
Nice, Matt.
05-06 18:31
Ziah:
That’s great! What time is it where you are Matt?
05-06 18:32
Rush:
Have you been able to get in some good relaxation?
Is it 8:32 PM for you, Matt?
05-06 18:32
Matt:
Long sea days truly force you to relax
05-06 18:32
Rush:
That must be good!
05-06 18:32
Matt:
We are getting into a routine
05-06 18:33
Rush:
yes!
And not feeling “guilty” for doing “nothing”!
05-06 18:33
Rush:
What is the name of your ship?
05-06 18:33
Matt:
The last time we took this Transatlantic, Azores was cancelled due to weather…..that lead to NINE sea days!
05-06 18:33
Rush:
WOW!
05-06 18:33
Ziah:
Wow!
05-06 18:34
Matt:
Caribbean Princess
05-06 18:34
Rush:
And with poor weather, too!
05-06 18:34
Rush:
I will look up your ship. It may have a live webcam.
05-06 18:35
Matt:
lol, Yes….as bad as we needed to see land, we realized the crew HAD to work every sea day, so we truly sympathized
Ironically, that was 11 years ago today!
05-06 18:35
Rush:
05-06 18:36
Rush:
I couldn’t get that cam to link here.
But there IS a live webcam.
05-06 18:36
Matt:
I’ll “try” to stop in on Mondays, but we are already adding hours…..tonight we are at9:35PM
05-06 18:37
Rush:
Very good!
05-06 18:37
Ziah:
As a teacher, that’s way past my bedtime!
05-06 18:37
Rush:
So you are two time zones past EDT.
Understood, Ziah!
05-06 18:38
Matt:
Yes Rush….and we’ll eventually be 5-6 hours ahead, so that will make it tough to stop in
05-06 18:39
Rush:
That will be true.
If you happen to be up anytime during the Chat, feel free to stop by, Matt!
05-06 18:40
Matt:
I’ll try emailing you our link to the ships position, via cruisemapper.com
It’s pretty cool to watch the progress
05-06 18:40
Rush:
Matt, will you be able to stay for the extras tonight?
Yes.
05-06 18:41

No, sorry…. I need to get back to Mary
That link, you can search and set the Caribbean Princess
05-06 18:41
Ziah:
Yes, it works for me! What a cool website.
05-06 18:42
Rush:
Understood for sure, Matt!
Please give Mary our very best wishes for a very happy and safe cruise!
05-06 18:42
Matt:
Before we left, we heard the State Dept raised the alert for Germany, so we’re curious if that may be cancelled.
05-06 18:43
Ziah:
Yes, have a great (and safe) time, Matt! And say hello to Southampton for me.
05-06 18:44
Matt:
We plan to just stroll around Southampton, if you have any suggestions for lunch/pub near the cruise port Ziah?
05-06 18:44
Rush:
I willl be right back!
05-06 18:45
Matt:
Ok….I’ll leave in a couple minutes
05-06 18:46
Ziah:
The Duke of Wellington pub on Bugle Street certainly always used to be pretty good – but I’ve been living in Vietnam for 9 years now, so my information might not be up-to-date!
05-06 18:46
Ziah:
Bugle Street is a nice area anyway – lots of historic buildings.
05-06 18:46
Matt:
