On our sailing, formal night was night 2, and dress your best was night 6. They did have white night and red night also. There were quite a lot of people dressed nicely on those nights. I think it was because of the number of families onboard, wanting nice Christmas photos. We did get our two free photos. And I was remarking about always getting digital prints for our free ones. Not so this time, just prints.

If it is advertised as a taste of the UK, just look at the composition of the meal you get in the UK vs. this. This stuff made long John silvers look like a high end meal.

It was reported on another thread that Royal spends about $17 per person, per day on food. Not just the evening meal, that is all meals. Much cheaper cuts and tougher meats.

it is. Here is one from a higher view from my walk with Daryl

Daryl found a duck this morning. Looks like a Christmas duck

Sailing into Nassau this morning, with other ships on the horizon.

Day 8 compass for the changed itinerary cruisecompassDay8.pdf

Went to “Flight -Dare to Dream” show last night. It was one of the better shows we have seen this cruise. I especially liked the ending with the plane. IMG_0072.mp4

Tonight was a Taste of the UK menu, and it was another disappointing night, food wise. I ordered the fish and chips, and these things they served were nothing like I expected. Susan, and one of our table mates had roast beef with Yorkshire pudding. They both said the meat was tough and chewy, and the pudding was bad. So Royal must figure people will be far enough into their drink package by this point in the week, to not notice how the food has gotten progressively worse.

Those were pretty tasty. We got them at Bolero’s. Went there for a Latin dance class.

Finding Daryl is almost like trying to find one of those ducks.

There is an elf party going on, on the Christmas tree in the Promenade

Keeping a good pace Mudslide and kraken colada a couple hurricanes

We just finished playing Michael Jackson name that tune. Daryl’s Crew had 13/15. Not good enough for the win, but we had a couple fans on our team.

Great job on the weight loss. I thought I did good with a 34 pound loss. I know I have put on a couple this cruise.

Day 7 cruise compass that includes the itinerary change. Don’t be fooled by it saying day 6 at the top. They appended day 7 to yesterdays cruisecompassDay7.pdf

By the way @Dan83 , if you had horrible internet yesterday like we did, stop by the internet desk and they will credit your account for a day. We did that.

Nope, they call them Maine lobsters

He was down getting ready for the parade

That is where they grow small ones

On the track this morning. Bags are still out, and we have small swells IMG_0026.mp4

Daryl says “Finally I found someone who likes water as much as me!”

We got this letter about our itinerary change. Now I am curious about what type of insurance would cover an itinerary change, since it says you can use the letter as proof? I looked at our insurance, and didn’t see any applicable category.

Last night was lobster night, which meant it was dress your best night. The meal was a little disappointing. This must be a south Maine lobster, because it was pretty small I had a vadalia onion tart which was not as good as past sailings. and the warm chocolate cake was not like the old molten cake. It has also disappointing that apple blossom and apple pie is no longer on the menu. We had to stop at JR’s for apple pie, and even it was underwhelming. At least it still doesn’t have raisins.

Ship is rocking slightly, and we are doing 20 knots to make Nassau on Saturday now. Enough motion to bring out the doggie bags. Hiro canceled again tonight and rescheduled for day 8.
