Our location at noon.

The aft lawn club was very busy. They had lawn chairs set up to view the World Cup that is streaming around the click And the next Tiger Woods

Time for my walking so had an opportunity to check out decks 14 and 15 We have Princess shadowing us and will share Cabo with us. She got the berth and we will be tendering. First went up to the forward sunbathing area Sundeck on 16 Lots is nice loungers. This is the area that was consumed by The Retreat Sundeck. Can certainly understand the angst that those that lost access to this area.

Went to Michael’s club for our light breakfast. Menu I had 2 Almond Croissants, Greek Yogurt, Berries, Cappuccino and an OJ the retreat was empty

Happy to report the Lemon Rarts with the chocolate dot (my favorite) are available in the afternoon I got 4 so Iain can have two when he gets up from his nap.

OK.. I'm about to go down for my after nap cappuccino. Have to check on the Lemon Tarts. Yesterday they only had chocolate.

Yikes.. That's enough to take a hit on your driving.

Great meeting you this morning @phoenix_dream and Congratulations on hitting Zenith. Hope that wasn't a secret.

Yikes .. .that does look small. I had an almond Croissant and seems may also be smaller.

To my knowledge there are no power outlets near the bed. I always get an extension cord for my computer etc. I noticed the room attendant was taping one down going toward the bed when passing a room.

I had to look. Horizontal Do they have different versions?

I just saw him at lunch. Will pass on your greetings. Lots of last minutes shuffling going on.

I didn' t look at the menu but from my understand the same as they have in the Buffet on the Retreat - Nuts, cheese, meats, vegies etc. Will take a look at the menu tonight.

This one has a triangle shaped dame across the threshold and so fare ZERO water. When on Millennium we had one and had to build a dyke of rolled up towels as water would flow everywhere. That was the one thing I hated about the shower. So far very pleased. I do have to say we are having incredibly smooth waters so that may change if we get into heavier seas. So far expected to remain glass smooth.

That's the one. we are in. It is almost totally aft and like I said noisy. You can hear carts about every 15 minutes and walking from OV.

It is noisy but like living near a train track you get use to it fairly quickly. The room is well designed for wheelchair access. Wider doors which are push button controlled, Emergancy call pulls in bedroom and next to each bed. The desk is at a height you could get a wheel chair under. Bathroom raised toiled, lower sink and a shower you could get a wheelchair in and a seat for bathing. They also have handrail for both the toilet and the shower. One thing I like is they have a small metal dam on the edge of the shower so water doesn't come sloshing out like on an M-Class. They also have a cocktail table that has variable height adjustment so you could bring it to wheel chair level. They also have a built in carpeted ramp to get onto the deck and as mentioned the room is large enough to easily drive a chair around.

Thanks for the Photos. We haven't really explored much of the ship so far but have to say she is in good condition. While she is getting older she is aging gracefully. I've see a few of the decorations but do need to get out more and explore today - Day at sea.

I think it was just the initial rush to grab a good chair. LOL. I have to admit on the first day I was overwhelmed. It is so nice to see so many that I have chatted with and met over the years are following along. I forgot to mention we also met a CC member while going through security - I didn't catch her full handle but it was something "Cruiser" We were quickly moved on and didn't have a chance to chat.

There may be. But for us when I walked thought the door I just asked where do suites check in and they pointed to a lady 5 feet away how immediately checked us in and invited us to directly board the ship. Others were directed to a big room to the Left.

No it has a Captive Portal built in. Sometimes it doesn't work. Usually when you select the Wifi-Guest it just pops up like on your phone. This is a good article on it. https://goconnectinc.com/amazon-fire-tv-stick-for-travel#page-content

LOL.. Actually I think I would use his Camp name ----- Ina May I always get one of those pictures of him when I say - Give me an Ina May.

Warning - SS1 2132. Our room is right under a major cart route to the Galley in Ocean View and you can definitely hear the carts start rolling early. I'll have to put an entry on the Spreadsheet.

He doesn't have a LogIn. He's really not into CC at all. Except of course his forced participation and my reading funny posts to him. Very early on I use to go by Troy01 which was my nickname from Collage and I still use it for Starbucks. It started as a joke about my Evil Twin - Troy. Some still don't realize Troy never existed. Well maybe now they do if reading here.

Glad you will be aboard. You will definitely see us around that area. My walking route between about 10:30 and 1:30 is a loop . Full Loop Forward to the sunbathing deck down along the track to the stairs to Lawn Club - Around Sunset Bar and back around. When not walking Iain can usually be found in the Smoking area near the Sunset Bar.

Yea... I've been doing a lot of playing at home. I had a Gigabyte UP and Down service installed a day before the cruise. I'm still not getting full Gig speeds but suspect it's my Router and will try out a Google Nest when I get home. I was going to try but have to register a different Mac Number. I can't complain but love to doddle. I was getting 300 to 400 Meg wireless as oppose to Xfinity 100 Meg Down and 6 Up.
