Not a whole lot but there are some!

I forgot to mention that I put in a bag of laundry on embarkation day and it was back yesterday evening- 24 hour turn around! This is the elite free laundry

There is definitely something wrong with room service/ ordering. The orders just sit at preparing for hours

After dinner last night we watched karaoke and then went to sky walkers to listen to 80s hits. Got back to the room and the minibar had arrived ! I had requested all beer for the alcohol so can’t say what the usual set up is now! A wonderful end to a great day! Apologies if some of my posts have come across as negative/ complaining- there have been some teething problems but nothing major and we are having a blast!

Patter

Not tough but a little overcooked for us (we like medium rare). It was good though!

Thai chicken soup, scallops, steak, banana torte, Irish coffee, crème brûlée All excellent

Dinner menu

Da Vinci

Milky Way

Raspberry Baileys

Whiskey Sour

Oh we enjoyed Galveston! It was just a shock that everything was so far! Not the fault of Galveston - I should have done better research!

We got to port at 10am. Doors opens 10:30am. We were onboard just after 11am! No one ever asked our arrival group!

My mission is to make my way through the cocktail list! Last night I had El Diablo (forgot the picture), so far today 24K margarita and The Perfect Storm

We didn’t win but had so much fun!

Ugly sweater competition

Delicious!

I have said that every cruise I’ve been on since 2019. Matt O is a very dear friend

Day 2 observations: Elevators are crazy slow. Aft had two out of service and the ones that worked took forever. Ship definitely feels full - not sure if it’s just because we haven’t sailed on a full ship in so long or because so many people are inside due to the windy weather on deck. Still no mini bar. Room safe still not working. But we do have bath robes! Arts and crafts today was a lifesaver ornament. Space for 40 people. We got in line 15 minutes prior and were able to do it. Some behind us were turned away. Cruise staff are not very visible so far - haven’t seen the cruise director at all and only noticed one staff at arts and crafts - she seemed nice but no idea of her name.

Split pea soup, chicken korma, Philly cheesesteak and pear strudel
