Peach berry sparkle- yummy’

Oh boy, open and not a secret- almost all waterfront seats taken, but one left! My current view and menus

Ok, I’ve only had two wines but these directions to Deal of No Deal seem complicated!

I’m on the bliss and have not had ONE rum punch - these look amazing! I’m on a mission…

That’s a great suggestion! One of my favorite venues on the ship!

My DH eats at off times. He’s a “coffee for breakfast” guy and typically eats later in the day. He keeps hitting the buffet when it is closed. Alarm set for Ice Cream Thirty today so he gets ice cream before they close! I told him there was ice cream on the dessert menu today, but he was too full…

Hey @Eggs2Go - thank you so much for your thoughtful response! I do this because I enjoy it - i relax by being busy- ha! I also enjoy the chronicle that it creates. Super excited for your sailing in just a week! Pre-cruise is so much fun- I love the planning! Yes. Temperatures have hit the full range from chilly today, cold the first night to hot in Mazatlan! Pack for it all!’ thanks for your comments on entertainment -‘I hate to see folks saying “good riddance” - I dont get to take my girls to broadway shows often and we always find them memorable! Million dollar quartet was my late father’s favorite show ever - shared family memories- priceless!! thanks again for coming along!

My current situation - trying to lean into this lobby “entertainment”. With Starbucks.

Oh dear, Deal or No Deal in the lobby- me looking for a quiet place to read- ha! I realize now that “may” be the OL on 15- crap shoot there…

The lobby continues to rock- people love this stuff. I still long for a quiet hotel resort style lobby, but I realize I’m in the minority…

taste lunch was really good! 55 minutes start to finish. Two glasses of wine. Two apps two entrees. First course - bistro salad - solid salad bay scallops gratin- flavorful bay scallops and a whole lotta butter -‘heavy for lunch! entrees - spaghetti carbonara- 7/10 - perfect lunch size, bacon flavor was just right, just the right amount of cheese - only needed to be warmer - chicken Milanese- really good- loved this! But chicken also could hav been warmer. Arugula salad and lemon- perfection! 8/10

Incredibly smooth seas, sunny and 63 out
