Loved this review and pics! We sailed Odyssey shortly after your last review, and really appreciated your perspective on the “short trip, small ship.” We are now considering a short Allure sailing, similar to this one. Did you enjoy the overall experience? Was it worth it? We’re from the Midwest and have never flown for a 3 night cruise. Not sure I can convince the fam. 
We’re also considering a Mediterranean, so can’t wait for that Live as well!

Thank you @Mom*3  

We both loved the weekend version just as much as the week long cruises, maybe even more.  I was thinking that just as I'm going to start getting into the cruise, it'll be time to disembark, but that wasn't the case, it was a great time, we didn't try to cram in a bunch of activities, just took our time and enjoyed the beach.  We did spend more $$ than normal but that was due to our last second decision of booking the cruise/flights.  I do believe another weekend cruise is in my near future and certain that it's in @Denversail's next couple of months.  

Always good to be back home in Colorful Colorado. 

A fun filled extended weekend, 

Thank you @Denversail 

Leu Gardens in Winter Park, FL 

Pretty cool property,  wish we had more time to look around and it wasn't high noon, difficult time to shoot

Do you all remember what my job was while denversail and Mr IT cruised into the sunset?   Take care of the dogs, meaning go over and let them out for a few minutes.   She has made it sound like something I am doing for her while she goes on this trip.  In actuality, it is my permanent year round job.  They both work long hours and Wolf works also so the dog's  midday break falls to me.   Wolf was off Friday and Saturday so I did get a nice break those days.   Today Wolf worked so like usual, I headed over about 10:30 to let them out.  Denversail and Mr IT will be relieved to hear that it appears Wolf is doing a very good job.   House was all picked up, no sign of dog messes, and their water bowls were full.  However it does appear that he does not let them out for as long as they would like as they were out forever and didn't want to come in.  Princess was dancing around the yard and PupPup was busy filling up on rabbit poop.   Finally they were settled inside and I left and stopped at the store on the way home.  As I was about to leave the store Wolf texts and asks if I fed the dogs?   What??   That is not in my job description and this is news to me.  He insists we had discussed it days ago ......   So back to the house I go with written instructions from Wolf on feeding.  Both dogs seemed very confused when I walked back in the door.   PupPup realized he was starving as soon as he saw he was getting dinner and gulped his food in seconds.  (if he was my dog I would get him one of those slow feeder bowls but no one ever takes my advice.)  As for Princess - there is a reason they have nicknamed her Princess.  Watching her eat is like Chinese water torture.  I followed Wolf's instructions of soaking her food in hot water but she only has two teeth in her whole mouth.  She eats one piece of kibble at a time and chews (gums) each bite for some time.  (I would have her on soft food, but once again....).   Finally she finishes but now I don't feel like I can just leave them so outside we go again.  When all is said and done, what usually takes about 15 minutes takes over an hour.  And I get to do it again tomorrow but happily no feeding involved.   There is a silver lining.  Denversail is doing a favor for us.  We head out of town Thursday morning for 6 days.   She has promised to water my plants for me.  Of course we are arguing about that.  She wants to come every other day and I want every day.   These are baby seedlings, some haven't even germinated and there are grow lights and heat mats involved.  Will my plants survive?   Will she come every day (like I do for her dogs?).  Time will tell.   

Folks, fire up the popcorn machine again.  The show will begin as soon as my salty sailor unpacks this gem.  I showed her a quick preview and all she did was shake her head and mumble oh I got something for her. 

Front row seat: CHECK

Popcorn: CHECK

Just waiting for the lights to lower and the show to start, gonna be juicy

Great pictures of Coco Cay Beach Club @Mr. IT! Thank you. We will be there in about 31/2 weeks and are really looking forward to it. 
 

Do you by any chance have any photos of your Beach Club lunch? DH is nowhere near the beach fan that I am, but from what I’ve seen so far I think he’ll lie a big fan of the lunch! 😋

 

Did either of you go in the water, either at the pool or at the beach? I’m wondering how the water temperatures are. 
 

Thanks! 
 

@Dupable, where are you? You’re supposed to be on this sailing virtually like the rest of us that are joining Denversail and Mr. IT from home. It’s not the same without you here!

@perfect match Thank you!!  Sorry, no food pics this time.  We both went into the ocean and the pool.  Both were nice, the pool was heated and wonderful.  The ocean was brisk at first but a nice cool down.  I would definitely go back especially with the tram from ship to beach and back, that saved my back and feet quite a bit allowing me to enjoy the beach even more 

Another memorable sunset on the open ocean 

LOL, I was watching the game at the bar while @Denversail gets her hairs done 

A nice, relaxing day

Mr. IT and I decided to spend 45 minutes in the casino before dinner. We sat down with two old men. It was pleasant enough at first but then… the crankier of the two tried to tell the other one how to play his cards. All hell broke loose… the FU’s were flying. Mr. IT and I of course started chanting… FIGHT.. FIGHT. They just continued with the back and forth insults. One of them stormed off and the other was using a wheel chair and had no chance of making chase. It ended there. Oh well maybe next time. 🤣🤣

The grumpy in the chair started the night cursing "Where's the F'ng smoking section?   To your Roger kind sir, out that door and to the elevator,  what floor are you staying on?

Beam me up mon

I had nothing to do with the pier number or address. The other situation was 1 mile NOT 3. 

MORE Popcorn sir, please and thank you

She is working hard. All that complaining and she hasn’t even checked on my dogs since I left. 

Hold my Makers, Where's my popcorn

My job while denversail and Mr IT enjoy the Caribbean was to watch over the dogs.  Unfortunately no pics available as yet.  Wolf has decided he loves peace and quiet and playing his games so has not wanted to leave the house.   Pictures tomorrow for sure !

Thank You for your service, here's a pic to help you out 

Our fearless border patrol 

I just want our readers to know that I'm the 1st to recognize our lovable @Dupable is M.I.A.  I expected likes and duck questions from her 

Well, didn't get any shots at Magaritaville, just some surrounding 

We're in Nassau, about to get off the ship and check out Margaritaville.

It is 6:30 am and I’m still drunk. It is Mr. IT’s fault. I was happily reading in bed last night at 8 pm. I was very close to crashing when Mr. IT reminded me that he is on vacation and I better start acting like it. This led to several hours in the casino accompanied by a LOT of liquor. 
 

I just watched the sunrise and it was amazing. I’d post a pic but Mr. IT said I’m not allowed to post anymore pictures. Something about my amateur skills. 🙄

IDK what sunrise my sideways sailor was watching as I actually caught the sun rising by the time I got to the deck

Beautiful sunset with a perfect breeze
