Tahitian kiss. Got my same bed as yesterday. Weather is gorgeous. View of st.tomas is perfect. Steel drums playing in the background. Life is good right now.

Dover sole and a side of Brussel sprouts. The fish was very good. I'm not sure when I started liking Brussel sprouts but those were good too. Key lime pie. So so good. I enjoyed the cheesecake last week but this was hands down my favorite. One of the best desserts I've ever had.

Dinner at rudi's last night was very good. Fried shrimp compliments of the chef. Bread. Scallops Very good again. Lobster Mac and cheese. Not large chunks but I did get lobster in almost every bite and the cheese sauce was amazing.

Liars club last night. We gotta talk about this but I was a little ummmm, sleepy, last night to talk about it. The three panelists were the two new comedians who came onboard and the entertainment director, Calvin. The two comedians went first and were pretty funny. Then we got to Calvin. I've sailed with him a number of times and seen him on John Heald's videos before. Never been a fan, he seems kinda just blah which is fine ED is not a guest facing role so makes sense for him to do that instead of CD. Holy cow, he was FREAKING HILARIOUS. I honestly don't think I have ever laughed so hard and cried so many tears of laughter in my entire life. He had the entire audience roaring. The professionals didn't stand a chance next to Calvin and quickly switched from comic to straight man to Calvin's antics. I can just imagine him and John performing together, what a riot that must have been. Absolutely do not miss this show if Calvin will be in it. Best laugh you will ever have I promise.

Bring the jambalaya.

Street eats has been closed all cruise. I was really looking forward to trying it some more this week. What's really weird is they update the menu every day. But it's not listed as open, amd when I stop by there is nobody there. I went with chicken strips. . Just no. Stick to the sandwiches. Coffee Gelato and key lime cheesecake.

Good afternoon. I was worried I was gonna feel it again this morning but other than being a little tired from not sleeping well, I feel OK Today is celebration's inaugural call in st.tomas amd also last port day of the cruise. I am gonna get up and enjoy my last bit of time with the ship to myself.

That's gonna do it for me tonight. Good night everyone.

#12 and probably the last for tonight.

At the theater for liars club. Stopped for a bloody mary at tropicale bar. App says opened until 12. At 1119 they offered me beer or wine. Apparently they clean the bar and shut down after the last show. Funny, bars back home do that AFTER the published closing time. They pointed me to golden Jubilee which doesn't have bloody mary mix. I took a breathe and reminded myself I'm on a cruise and grabbed my drink from the casino bar.

At the white hot party on Serenity. The breeze feels fantastic. Gonna hang for 2 or 3 songs then head down to the theater for liars club.

Christine's fav.

Cash bash was kinda cute. No fee to enter. Five people drawn at random that signed up (I didn't realize it didn't cost to enter). Three rounds of silly competition and the winner got to go in the money machine and grab as much as cash as possible in 60 seconds.

At the Golden Jubilee now for a 90s music set with another bloody.

Good to know if I ever come into enough money to afford it. I think the most I could ever swing would be Oceania.

It's definitely higher quality, and more expensive to produce. You are also paying import costs. But to my simple palette, gimme a bottle of cooks and I'm a happy guy. Too many strikes for me as I'm not a soup guy, don't do food with a head still on it, and mussels and clams only once in a while. He seemed to really enjoy it though.

Found a great seat at center stage. I feel bad taking a couch as a solo but it's super comfy and has a great sight line. Checking out cash bash, no idea what this is but I'm gonna find out.

Bloody mary from tropicale bar. Simple, and delicious 😋

The guy at the table next to me ordered the cioppino. That's the thing to order if your hungry. That sucker is huge.

Another

Brut rose.

Happy crab. Im hungrier than i need to be based on the portion sizes from last week. But with my ongoing stomach issues I've been getting full very quick. Could go either way.

Getting ready for ddinner. Tonight I'm dining at Rudi's.

Heading to the gym. I still have baby shark stuck in my head from yesterday 😒.

Some night time pics I got in San Juan last week. Virgin ship saying Hola.
