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.

The bed is calling my name so I'm going to sleep. Next up, the first of four consecutive sea days 😯

Thanks 😁. I'll make sure the food is restocked before you board 😋.

Just kidding, casino has not opened yet.

Off to the casino for just a little while. Don't plan on staying long hoping fate is kind to me.

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.

Usually they burger is so good but it was overdone and dry on here. Thanks 😁

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 😆.

Heading out to dinner there was a knock knock knock on the door. Special delivery for b2b guests. Yay I was starting to think with so many b2b they didn't have the budget to give out the champagne. Sunset on the way to dinner.

Another brief internet outage. Rewind about 45 minutes and we were pulling away. My view is now ocean view. Water is getting choppy already. Can't feel it but can see it this close to the water.

Going to the spa raffle again to try to win some spa loot for my mom.

The weather must know we are heading back to Florida. It is warm out today almost hot even. The midship roof is open. Also the country music overhead has been replaced with carnivals standard playlist of 70s and 80s rock and pop.

I'll give that a try next time. I was actually doing some research for some place to try poutine and I read something that made a lot of sense. Ordering poutine in Victoria is like ordering a Philly cheese steak in Seattle. Thy might serve it, but it's not necessarily authentic. So I abandoned that idea but I still want to try it just have to wait till I hit eastern Canada. I can't wait for that char sui chicken to come around again 😋.

After we got settled into our new room we went up the the buffet for some lunch. Chopsticks and Lido lunch menu. My lunch.

Lost internet for a while. Went down to the room and our card wasn't in the box so defeated we turned around then I realized we were already wearing our cards duh 🙄. We got an Oceanview this week. Port view right now.

Took some convincing but got my nice new card. I'll probably wait to use my free dinner until Celebration and see if I can use it at Rudi's. Did muster now checking on the room. New signs are posted.

I just want the shiny white card lol. I'm about to follow up now I'm just not ready to be told to mask up.

My mom and I both moved up levels this cruise. I did not expect either to be correct so I'm a little worried hers is platinum and mine is still platinum. I have exactly 200 days and I have checked and double checked And it says platinum is 75-199 and diamond starts at 200, not 201. Guest services said they can check after the new voyage is loaded.

They just announced the housekeeping department has informed them the rooms were not ready. Saved me a trip to go check lol.

Zero count achieved. They are now calling our names and we are free to go. Easiest b2b ever. They say our rooms are ready but I somehow doubt that is true but will check it out once my name is called..

Nice! I like this here's hoping this is the "new normal."

Just informed cbp will not require us to walk off the ship and back on. Once they check us back in we are free to go 😁

In the theater for our b2b meeting. They had champagne and mimosas waiting for us and they our checking us in now for our next sailing.

Good morning. I'm up earlier than I need to be. Repacked this morning and I'm gonna go grab some frozen yogurt for breakfast. We meet in the theater at 9am to checkin for our next cruise. They seem to be pretty efficient with this whole moving cabins thing since so many ppl lost their cabins. They have delivered us numbered luggage tags and our new cabin number is written on the back.
