Patti is feeling tired so she heads back to the cabin. I head to the casino to play blackjack for an hour or so before heading back to the cabin. I wound up even for the night.

Here is tonight’s turndown service and our invitation to the Diamond brunch. I had neglected to tell you that our room steward for this cruise was Jacinto. He did a fine job…..

Looks like you have just about managed to hit the entire fleet, all that is left is the Ecstasy, Insperation, Imagination, Spirit, Freedom, Valor, and the newest ships, Vista, Horizon, and Panarama.

It also looks like when you cruise, I am close to your dates as well, so I know I have a Jamman review to look forward to.

Just courious, have you all concedered going on a diffrent line again?

 

Thanks for doing this review, It is nice seeing an old freind(Conqiest) and seeing a future freind(Paridise)

Did you frequent the Serenity area on Paradise? Your thoughts?

 

With all the beach and pool time on our two cruises, no we didn't. It is the same on all Fantasy Class ships though. :cool:

That’s funny...the band in the 2nd picture is my daughter’s middle school band!

 

That is funny. Small world! :D

Glad to have you along for the ride! Don't know if we'll ever get to sail the fleet, but half the fun is trying. :D We have sailed on the Ecstasy and we have the Inspiration and Valor booked in the future. Patti and I just talked recently about sailing on some other ships on some other lines. Stay tuned! :cool:

Day # 2 - Fun Day at Sea

 

We were up at 8am to a beautiful day with calm seas. Here are the views from our balcony looking forward and aft…..

IMG_0653-XL.jpg

Here are today’s Fun Times……

This was going to be a nice relaxing day for us. Since the next four days would be beach / pool days, sitting out in the sun didn’t appeal to us. We decided to skip breakfast since we would be going to the Diamond brunch at 12:15.

 

Around 10am I decided to head up to the Red Frog Rum Bar, while Patti did a little shopping. On the way she stopped at Cherry on Top……

We met back at the cabin around noon to get ready for the brunch. Here is today’s towel animal. Our chocolate treats have also arrived……

The Diamond brunch was held on Deck 4 of the Monet Restaurant all the way in back. There were 15 Diamond members on this cruise. They set up three round tables, and several senior crew members sat at each table. We were seated with the Hotel and Beverage Managers.

 

We ordered off of the regular Sea Day brunch menu and of course the drinks were free and flowing freely. We had a nice time with our table mates for about an hour or so, and then Captain Claudio Cupisti came to each table to take a picture…..

Afterwards, Patti and I posed for some pictures in the Sunflower Atrium…..

The slot tournament was today so we decided to try our luck. Here I am ready to go!

IMG_0673-XL.jpg

Neither of us would get anywhere close to qualifying for the final round. I sat down to play blackjack for a while, breaking even, before I went back up to the Red Frog Rum Bar.

 

Patti went to try her luck at bingo, but first sat and watched Suess-a-Palooza….

IMG_0687-XL.jpg

 

CD Mat told the story of "Horton hears a Who" with the help of some audience members……

For dessert, Patti had the malted chocolate hazelnut cake, which she thought was a little too rich for her liking…..

IMG_0754-XL.jpg

I had the coffee cream cake…….

After dinner we walked the Promenade and then made our way back to the cabin. There we found tonight’s turndown service and our platinum / diamond headphones…..
