People hide ducks around the ship usually with a tag on it with the family's name that hid it and the ship and sailing date and instructions to keep or rehide as well as to post it to one of the Facebook pages dedicated to the duck hiding. You could probably Google cruising ducks to find one of the groups I don't actually belong to any my mom just gets a kick out of finding and collecting them. She's a big kid lol. If you remember the friendship rocks from a couple years back it's like that but with ducks. You will move up to platinum the first day of your second sailing but you may have to have your card reprinted because they are printed before the system counts your first leg. The same thing happened to me when i did a b2b on my milestone cruise. They gave me a white card for that then my second cruise I still had a white card, I did not correct that one lol.

I still didn't make it to the casino. When I got there my card was declined because I hadn't set up a card in file. I thought I had $400 obc but I forgot I had used some to purchase internet. I went back to the room to grab my card to out on file. When I returned every machine I wanted was taken. I took it as a sign I do not need to gamble this trip. I'm heading out now to get my exercise in I definitely need it after that hearty brunch. I'm happy to see the steamroom open also. I wasn't sure if it would remain open with the stricter protocols.

Yes that would be a better way to describe it I think. It's a crabcake with poached egg and hollandaise sauce on the one bun. On the other bun a very generous portion of sliced avocado sprinkled with some sliced cucumber which gave it a nice crunchy texture against the softer crabcake and avocado. Finally topped up with half a salad that Just gets in the way. The avocado/cucumber medly was pretty enough I don't think it needed a garnish. It was very good and at $8 a pretty good bargain if you want an elevated meal over what the brunch menu has become.

I love the farcus style lol. I find this ship pretty tame compared to most of his. Except for the exposed breasts everywhere 😆. What makes the PVP thing so bad is I did have a good one. I remember once I didn't book a casino offer event before the deadline and she said she would take care of it and get my name added to the list. I get onboard and guess what? Not on the list. I plead my case to the casino host who had zero interest in what I was saying. As soon as I said my PVP's name her whole attitude changed. She practically fell over herself apologizing and said she would get in contact with her personally immediately to verify I should have been included. Fifteen minutes later I was on the list. This booking was so screwed up I have unfortunately had to fire her as my PVP. Although I believe technically she fired me as her customer. I got four sea days I'm gonna get the whole story typed up eventually lol.

Brunch today was fantastic. Best meal I've had in a very long time. That's the good news. The bad news is I ordered from the upcharge items not the free brunch menu. Circling back to good news, at least if you are paying extra the food food good. I always worry about paying and then not liking what I order. This was way too much food and I need my scale more than ever, I did not realize at the low price point how big the servings would be. Shrimp and grits $6 This was very good very full of flavor and a little spicy. I have a high tolerance for spicy so if it registered as spicy to me I would use caution ordering this if you don't like spicy. The only thing I would change is get rid of all the leaves on top. One of two for a garnish but not a half a salad. Also maybe take the tails off. There is a lot of sauce and I didn't see there were tails still on. My first bite was a surprise 😮😋 This was more than enough food. But wait there is more. Crab and avocado sandwich $8. This was also very good but I think would enjoy it more if I hadn't already had a full pot of grits. This was a beautiful messy mess of a sandwich and I would also order this again but again this is a meal on its own. Too many leaves again and I wasted a whole salad between the two meals. Under the bed of leaves is a beautiful mess of avocado that begs to be on display. A very great meal and if you don't mind the upcharge I would recommend both of these items.

Already a 30-40 minute wait on brunch so gonna check in there and do casino after I eat. Scale not working with the ship movement again. That could be dangerous with no scale accountability for four days. On turnaround day I had gained .4 lbs for the first week of the cruise. While I would prefer a loss that small gain is within my acceptable range.

I want my bed back from last week. This one is very hard. I was pretty tired though so I was in a pretty deep sleep. My view this am. There was a medical response call about an hour ago. I hope everyone is all right. The good news is we are still close to land if they do require further attention. Looking on the map channel looks like we are about 80 miles west from the northern edge of Oregon. There is a lot going on today not sure if I'm gonna do everything I marked but we shall see. First up, casino should be open now.

Dinner was great again tonight. I don't have tonight's menu because it is identical to the night 1 menu from last week. I am super excited for 8 new to me dinnet menus on this 16 day sailing. For my starter I ordered the cured salmon. First main was the chicken parmesean. The portion was huge and it was piping hot, I think this was as good as the cucina pay version. I also got a large portion of the salmon but it wasn't great tonight. It was overcooked. Dry and starting to burn a little even. For dessert I enjoyed the tiramisu.

And we are caught back up. Dinner is on a 20-30 minute wait tonight. I'm sitting in the waiting area outside the MDR waiting for my app to buzz. New stuart this week is off to a rocky start. There was hair on the nightstand next to my bed. I checked the rest of the cabin after that and it appears to be the only oversight. Then when we asked for ice he told us we would need to call room service. We politely mentioned we got it last week and he said he would try. He did return with the ice bucket. It's still early and the big test will be if we get our PM service as requested 😆.
