Tonight is the rock and glow deck party, and Serenity nights. But I am going to go ahead and wrap things up early tonight. Thanks for following along, see everyone tomorrow from St. Thomas.

America Rocks it is! I said the rockband was off but that wasn't entirely accurate as they are a part of the show.

Sports check. It's also on at the bar in Red Frog.

Phone almost died on me so letting that charge. Not sure if I am going back out for more than one more drink. The nightly entertainment on here is scarce. One R comedy show all day, at 9:45. Violin music or Latin music, neither really interest me. The rockband is off, Piano lady is doing whatever she is doing. The duo, and guitar solo guy have finished their sets already for the night (it's 8:30!!). It's seriously slim pickens out there. Been light overall on here and tonight is extra quiet. America Rocks is on, I may do that. It's not my favorite show, even though the cast is really talented on here. But it's about my only option. I may just make it an early night and see about walking around St. Thomas before it gets too hot tomorrow. Undecided at the moment.

My BBQ spring roll was good again, and so hot and fresh inside. It was a little greasier than I remember, but still quite tasty. My salad said it came with a black peppercorn dressing, but I am pretty sure it was Caesar. It was a good salad though. The fish was good again but upon reflecting on all the wonderful new fish options, I think this one is my least favorite. It is certainly the least exciting fish although the grits and sausage are good. I think this would be better with shrimp, or some other sea food or even plain. The fish itself isn't amazing. The sirloin was ok. Some bites were flavorful and tender. Many were tough and a couple I could not chew, or wish I had not tried. It was also undercooked to my specification. I would probably not order this again. I got it with an extra side of broccoli and those were good. The pie for dessert I didn't have high hopes for it, even after seeing it. It looked like jello shaped into a pie that a lot of the desserts tend to be. It was actually very tasty and tasted like it was made with fresh bananas although I don't claim to know it was or not. It came on top of a chocolate sauce that was not labeled as such, and the guy next to me can't eat chocolate. That sounds rare, but if that is something that effects you, be aware there is a chocolate sauce underneath. Service was quick especially considering how busy the dining room was. I was in a row of people again and we were all fast eaters, but even so, there was no lag time as we finished a course, another was presented. Very good!

I've made great progress but still have a ways to go. But continue on I will, at least when I'm not cruising 🙂

Congrats on your milestone cruise! You will get a nice shiny white card to mark the occasion 🙂 Don't worry about packing until Friday, or Thursday if you like to be early 😆

We're under 10 minutes. Shape of you 🎶

That was really cute with Santa coming down the glass elevators. I'll try to get a better angle next week so I can see how coming down. Loaded my vifp freeplay because I saw my favorite machine. It didn't talk to me and tell me it's ready to pay me, but I will be ready when it is 😀 Waiting on dinner at Ocean Plaza. Variety music with Jesse and Sarah Jailhouse Rock 🎶

Checked in for dinner at 541 with a 60-70 minute wait. I feel like I'm on a journey cruise. This is nuts.

Santa!!! OMG I know him!

We may have a special guest!

I was treated to a very lovely view during this evening's walk.

Tonight's sports.

I hope so too! Sometimes I already feel like I am losing the fight.

Been windy all day....testing to see if the ropes course can open.

Getting in one more mile. Sun is already setting soon this far east.

Enough people watching, heading off to the sauna now.

Lots of kids running around the ship all of a sudden. Now I see why.

Casino annex busier those week. Edited to include correct timer. Mocha chocolate getaway. Went and got my own straw she forgot. Said she'd be right back but after 21+ minutes I didn't feel like waiting longer.

Greatly exaggerated...but I would say there is room for improvement. The food has been absolutely better than recent reports would suggest. With the exception of a sub par Cucina experience the food has been great overall.
