So I ended up going to this show last night. Totally different vibe than the first show. I still enjoyed it. I went down after this show because today was rough. Dinner was back at Test Kitchen. As i expected, they haven’t changed the menu over to the 2nd menu. My wife tried to get the Vegan menu but unfortunately her allergies prevented her from getting most of the options. I feel bad for those who have glutten or nut allergies and go vegan. Gazpacho is the only thing different.

I have found that they only allow you 2 per person and not 4 per cabin. Yesterday, they charged me for my extra coffee but i had gotten them not my wife. My wife did not get coffee. Someone else onboard had an issue that only one of them had DBE but since the non DBE was scanning the bracelet, they were charged.

I do. The pour overs actually have a charge as i scan my thingie but not sure how much it actually costs as I don’t see it on my wallet. Thats why the shocked face as my coffee problem is pretty much solved. I actually prefer good brewed coffee vs espresso drinks.

Last Test Kitchen was over 2 hours and I had to be dragged back to the cabin because of the wine pairing 🤣

Oh thats THIS Thursday!! I have Test Kitchen at 8:15. hmmmmm

Dang it. I totally missed this. Its at 10 both showings and i had dinner both times 🤬

Trying the espresso martini. This is smooth. It could mess me up.

Today’s Glance.

I missed the Untitled thing the first day but haven’t seen it since

Is there only 1 production show?

The soonest i can do another is 2026 and they are not out yet. Had I known how incredible this cruise was, I would not have booked a January cruise on Royal. Such as it is, the January cruise would preclude me doing another TA. Plus i have probable weddings next year that would also make it difficult. 2 out of 3? We’re not done yet 🤣

Interesting find. Praline Marshmallow. It’s like nutty peep. I wanna hate it but it’s strangely compelling.

They are having a coffee tasting thing again. Got the picture of the whole table this time

@vanman Missed Loose Cannon

@vanman I think I got most of them. Draught Haus Sip Lounge Dock House

Regardless. You know how i feel as we keep losing hours on this trip. I’m looking at the schedule with 7am activities and I’m like what masochist gets up that early after losing an hour. My next TA is going westbound!

I hit brunch alone at Razzle Dazzle. Wife was like she’s not getting out of bed yet. Mushroom Frittata Blueberry green tea cheesecake Brunch was a little light. I am making a pig of myself. I feel like this is my theme on this cruise. After brunch, I’m still walking around in a fog. I needed stronger hit. double cappucino (4 shots of espresso, small cup).

After Dinner is the Legendary Scarlet Night. I had not realized that my dinner would make me miss most of the pregame. I just caught this as I headed towards the Octopus Garden Octopus Garden. It was a nice 15 minute musical, but I still didn’t get the story. When we got out, most of the 7th deck seemed empty. Why? Because the main party moved to the pool deck. Just wow. I have not danced like this in years. I keep saying this. I have not partied like this in years. Me personally, it takes a certain groove or energy to get me dancing. Most times, I just chill. I’ve become particular when it comes to partying. This party and this cruise keeps me going. Carnival is known as the party cruise, but they can’t hold a candle to this energy. I mean, the deck could not have been 65 degrees with a wind blowing over the deck. At some point, people went into the pool during this party. Not one or two. It was a giant splash. I had texted a friend and she said “Thats not a pool, thats a water feature” and I responded “And they still went in!!!” The after-party kept going until the wee hours of the night. This was about 1:30am. Did I mention we lost an hour after this. Unfortunately, I am now suffering as I’m not in my 20s or 30s anymore. At this rate, I’m going to need a vacation from this vacation.

Good Morning from Last night I we attended the Acapella group Moonshot. This group is TALENTED!!! The guy on the left. Absolutely mindblowing. He did a solo. He pulled off Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean’s musical riff with his voice alone. He provided “musical background” and Bass with his voice while the others sang. He reminds me of Michael Winslow of Police Academy fame. Dinner, my first repeat is back at Pink Agave. Got some new stuff. Chayote. Simple veggies. Good for what it was. Papas con Chorizo. I thought this was a side dish of potatoes. It was not bad. Bistec. This was delicious. Maybe the best steak on board. Its hard to decide. I made a pig of myself with dessert. Bread pudding. What was I thinking. I hate raisins. But still had to try. Milhojas. This was yummy Not on the Menu. Coconut rice pudding and other stuff?

I’m gonna try all the Floats. Whiskey Dream. Bourbon, Whiskey, Crema, Coke & Marshmallow.

This tiny little issue on Scarlet Lady or maybe Virgin in general. Most of the public sinks in bathrooms. Notice the lack of knobs. Thats because its not there. Total motion sensors. I’m finding a fair number of them kind of broken. I now know why. These motion sensors don’t work. You can get the faucet to work when they stop by tapping the faucet. You can see where this is headed. The faucets are loose because people are whacking at the faucet to get them to workz.. Its frustrating as if it doesn’t start, you whack it! Multiply the number of whacks and impatient passengers and now I can see why so many are broken. More to come

The avocado toast was considered Elevenses so the Tuna Poke is considered Luncheon. Not sure if i like the Salmon from Earlier or this one. Oh, I forgot about the Pizza. So that should be Elevenses and Avocado toast was 2nd Breakfast

This was the matinee show. I wouldn’t say I was disappointed in this show than I would say I expected more. This was a one person show for the most part: I thought that there would be an ensemble of drag queens. I got one. Nonetheless, it was a fun show. The thing i noticed with entertainment, Virgin seems to do more with less.

I forgot the activity from last night. It was a live band in the manor These guys were smoking last night. Unbelievable show. They had a lot of energy.

You lose your hour during the day? Here is all of our relative positions if you’re interested. We are behind…. If this is accurate. They don’t always show this. Its actually on the wall of the Casino here.
