Yeah - I did too. Miami pulled off the win so we are officially out of the playoffs. Oh well , honestly didn’t think we’d even be in the conversation at this point of the season.

Steelers game was not on but casino and tavern had bengals game and bills game.

Black coffee from CL now heading for Baileys 🤪🤪

Izumi dishes - sorry, forgot to take the pics beforehand so presentation was better until i messed it up. I had totally forgotten that Izumi on EX does not have hibachi. No worries, still good 👍🏻 Izumi freezer is broken so waiter said desserts were chocolate lava cake or sesame balls only. No mochi and a lot of melted ice cream he said. 😱

Izumi and view from our table

DLounge. Happy to report coffee machine working well ☕️ Nice lounge with outdoor seating and views are spectacular. very much like DL on Mariner.

Not much in the way of plans for today. Heading to Izumi for lunch soon then mostly gonna camp out where ever I can find football games. Last night they had Jags/Titans game on in the casino. hoping to see Steeler game somewhere. If not, ZOOM will be getting a workout from me steaming it on my phone. Little sluggish today from beating up my drink package in the pub last night! i’ll power through though. Here we go Steelers Here We Go!

More the Merrier! I will scope out the D lounge today. I need the Eagles to win today for a survivor pool so I’m onboard with go eagles. but only for today! hahahah

Good morning everyone!

Great! In Aruba we are doing the UTV tour and Hato Caves + Mambo Beach in Curaçao.

Side note - met and visited with several pinnacles who were some of the nicest most cordial fellow passengers we have ever encountered in the concierge lounge. Very much enjoyed them and their stories/experiences and hope to see them again each night. I know it’s somewhat of a hot topic with pins being in suite/concierge lounge so i hesitate to even comment but just a side note. Crowding was def not an issue. We are just Diamond but hopefully “baby pins” lol 😂 one can dream right??

🙄 Die hards Thx for following. I’ve acquired lots of useful info/tips along my way on this forum so it kinda my way of continuing the tradition and sharing the experience.

I can officially report royal has NOT won today on the drink package front. Sorry NOT Sorry haha

Yah buddy let’s roll!

We have usually opted for the Batch Gastropub terrace seating but i have heard good things of the oriental restaurant nextdoor. The drink vouchers may be a hilton honors perk (?) not sure on that. It’s a free draft beer or house wine for each guest at the hotel lobby bar. I’m not a wine person and the 2 draft option were bud light or goose island IPA - went with 2 IPAs. We’ve had that each time time presented to us at check in. There are little cards they give you at the check in desk. It was our pleasure to take down the Ravens 😂 You’re welcome 🍻 Hopefully we can keep it up and take down the Browns as well 🤞🏻🍀 coincidentally i was seated next to a couple from OH going on a carnival cruise in the shuttle to the port. When they asked me where I was from and replied Pittsburgh. They obviously had to respond .. i’m sorry to hear that. Rivalry is real!!!! LOL Actually very nice couple and we had a very good chat.

The winnings…

Chops dinner was great as usual Fantastic filet made it to 80s name that tune trivia and won in a tie breaker. We’ve always been competitive but never won. woo hoo …small things 🥇

Thank you - i fully believe i’m winning right now Titos is flowing freely cheers

Old Fashioned- crown & kettle pub

I’m on speaking terms with excel but we aren’t friends haha pkg was in the neighborhood of $72/day. black friday purchase

I considered attempting to keep score on the drink package like you did in one if your reviews …too much math though

Rooms were ready on time about 1pm. all unpacked and ready to wear out my drink pack 😂 All UDP lunches and dinners are scheduled and ready to go too ✅

they’ve been free and included every time i’ve been to barefoot. thx for the tip on walking 50 ft

you’ll be going back 😜

Finally- suite check in was blazing fast.
