Nov. 16, in Houston Again


This morning we woke up to find that we were going to be late arriving in Houston.  Seems the ship was stopped because of fog.  We arrived 2 hours late and then the fun began. 

We tried to order room service only to be informed that we could not this time.  So I went up to the food court and picked up some tea and pastries and brought them back to the cabin.  We were again supposed to meet in the Wheel House bar for our walk off at 10:20.  We showed up and the officer did not know what to do with us.  Told us to check with the front desk, but since we had been through this before we went to the library and played some gin.  About an hour later we returned to the bar and found a seat and waited to walk off and back on.  We met some other seasoned travelers and they all were commenting on how this was the worst cruise they had ever been on.  We finally walked off and cleared customs and then back on the ship. 

Returning to our cabin we decided to go down to the dinning room for lunch.  It was good but we found out that it was going to close at 1:30 PM.  We really felt sorry for the people boarding because they did not start letting them on until 1:00 PM.  This is just one of the mismanagement we have encountered this cruise.

Returning to our cabin we read relaxed while the new passengers boarded.  We were suppose to depart a 4:00 PM, but got an announcement that we would be leaving at 6:00 AM tomorrow.  Seems the wind is too high for us to navigate the channel back to the Gulf of Mexico.


We tired to order room service, but gave up after being on hold for 25 minutes.  We went up to the cafeteria and picked up some soup and salad.  Watched some TV and then to bed.  The weather is cold and cloudy tonight, hope it is better tomorrow.
