Sounds like that’s the kind of stuff the CD is responsible for. Who’s the CD on this sailing?

Jenn. Not a fan. She’s more focused on pushing sales than any other CD I’ve had. She’s new to the ship as well. Pretty sure it’s the first cruise since she took over.  
 

Today was Grand Turks. Breakfast was simple buffet that honestly was horrible. Ended up getting some fruit loops.  We headed to the beach shortly after eight.  We were the only ship in port today so no crowding at all. Hung out and swam at the terminal beach for a few hours and headed down to Jacks. The jerk chicken was awesome and my wife loved feeding the dogs.  This place is clearly still recovering. Many building alone the beach are dilapidated.  Another thing is weed must be legal here, it was being smoked all over the beach.  After lunch did some shopping and headed back to the ship.  Hung out in the room for a bit and headed back out to Lido.  Chilling here until dinner time. 
 

It’s 1500 gambled not lost. That can also change based on many factors. 

Well had a first at the love and marriage show. When they selected the youngest couple had one almost on stage married four days ago.  Then another popped up married yesterday, which they were around the ship taking pictures in their wedding clothes. They get to question seven, what is the most interesting place you have had sex.  Mom and grandma are in the audience.  The groom gets up and leaves not to return. CD sent the wife to retrieve him but no success.  The other couple took their place.  Funny but going to be an interesting evening for them.  Fourth show we’ve seen and the first that they haven’t split the couples up taking them back stage and making more of a show. Really not liking a lot of changes in this ship. 
 

Dinner overall was decent. No wait as we were still in port.  I had the flatbread and rabbit. Flatbread was very difficult to cut. Rabbit was good. Had the portebello mushroom main and it was very good. Got Apple pie for desert and it was hard. Basically inedible she’ll, just ate apple out of the inside.  My wife had her usual shrimp cocktail and flat iron. She orders well done and for the second time came out medium rare at best.  Very inconsistent still. Back to the casino bar until love and marriage. 
 

Breeze headed out a little bit ago. Few pics of what it covered up.   Off to dinner in a bit. 

Back on board I we headed to lunch.  I took advantage of the misty empty ship and a burrito while my wife had buffet. She returned to the room for a nap and got a drink.  I’ll be hanging out in the Lido for a while. We followed the Breeze here and she’s a good looking ship. Outdoor areas look really nice from next door. 
 

Breakfast was huevos rancheros from the blue iguana and it was really good, better than the sea day brunch version. We didn’t do much at Amber Cove. Did a little shopping and took some pictures. My wife doesn’t do heat well so didn’t hang around the pool at all. Headed back to the shop around 1. 
 

Good morning from Amber Cove. We are sitting off the coast but don’t dock until 1030. Off to breakfast. 

No I couldn’t. One more for the road to pizza. 
 

Still at the casino bar. Another gentleman Jack old fashion. 
 

One more. #14.  Can I leave the night on 14? Not likely.

Woodsford neat. Both ways prefer Gentleman Jack but do like the variety.  12. Won’t hit 15 tonight. 
 

This one is done right!  Good stuff. 

Back at the casino bar to finish the game. Noticed they print your tally after 10. Gentleman Jack Old Fashion makes 11. 
 

Hit up the comedy show which was good. Left out a few minutes early for a neat gentleman jack before the crowd left out. First drink from the cocktail bar.  
 

After that disappointment went back to Red a Frog for a Frog Island Iced Tea. Back to the casino for a bit for more football and music until comedy.  
 

Been back at the Casino bar for a bit. Watching football and listening to some tunes.  Same good band as last night.  Woodsford Old Fashion but made poorly.  No muddling, just fruit salad in bourbon. 
 

Comedian was killer bees who I’ve seen on a previous cruise and is good.  Back to the completely dead Lido for a bit To catch up on few things on my phone, internet seems best here.  Other than major congestion times this cruise has seemed a bit dead. During a nice sea day today there was virtually no wait at the bars. Not complaining but that’s a first.  Beachcomber. 

 

I’m not at the early comedy hoping for better than last night while my wife visits the casino. Reds Treasure. 
 

We were early so weren’t effected by it but they again had two lines instead one to get in the dining room. Service was again very efficient however.  Food was good.  We both had stuffed mushrooms. I had a double order of crab cakes and she had a shrimp cocktail. She got the flat iron that had to go back once undercooked. I had the spanakopita and stuffed mushrooms. First time I’ve tried it and it was very good. Desert was creme brûlée’s for me and melting cake for her. 
 

Usually slow bar service at dinner so ordered another beer and this time it is quick lol. Just my luck.  Parched Pig IPA. 
 

We’ve already dressed and did pictures. Now in line for dinner. Caribbean Wheat while we wait.
