Very nice guy. The staff in the lounge were awesome. Order a strong bow cider in my absence and the will know who I am

They allow glass bottles on the pool deck?

 

Yah, a few weeks ago they filled by beer bag with them. They didn't even give me a plastic glass to drink from. I would take a drink and then put the bottle back on the ice. They did give me a small glass with sliced limes. Thankfully the lime shortage of 2014/15 has long passed.

Sunil's a great guy, he helped my wife and I a month ago

when we were in a huge line waiting to board

the tender at Grand Cayman. He spotted us at the back

of the line near the street and came right over and

said follow me and took us to the front of the line

It was definitely appreciated.

Cheers,

Actually no.

My drink of choice by the pool is Corona. I can't drink it out of a plastic cup, it just doesn't feel right [emoji57] I realized if you order the bucket, they have to serve it in glass bottles..... The rest as you can see, is history.

If you order by the bottle, you get plastic glasses.....

mr. Ribeye is probably foaming at the mouth that he won't be getting a free cruise for a delay getting into belize [emoji12]

He's one of the best, if not the best Concierge I've had the pleasure of meeting. He will be taking over for Raj in the CL when he goes on vacation. The whole DL crew are top notch [emoji106]

We decided to skip formal night and head to the Windjammer instead. They have a delicious stir fry section tonight where you can create your own. Here's my yummy dinner

Robyn, did you see your chops friend in the D lounge tonight? You might not have recognized him as Mr Ribeye, he could have morphed into a mad cow when he found out there was no OBC for the delay.

 

The seas looked great today, and dinner doesn't look bad either. Enjoy your night.

They are sisters.

There are some subtle differences in the names of some of the venues around the ship. They are pretty much the same otherwise.

For me, the crew can make or break a cruise experience. The crew on the Indy are great [emoji1]

If my husband would not be upset for traveling without him, I would be begging to cruise with you gals. You sound like a fun bunch!

 

 

Stay tuned for details on girls cruise 2016! [emoji483][emoji483]

I forgot to ask this question for the first half of the cruise, which night was the formal.

 

 

The first sea day on both itineraries is formal night.

Thank Robyn! And another Q. Our promenade room 6553 and 6555 on deck 6 facing Sorrento's. Am I in luck catching a bit of an ocean view just like you have? :cool:

 

 

I'm not sure about that.....I'll take a look and see where those windows are in Sorrento's...

Now you get a perspective on the loud salsa music I hear every night [emoji126]🏿

How much is a bucket of Coronas? My DH is happy to see glass bottles!

[the_lovely_voyage]

^ I'm also interested to know the prices of a Corona bucket.

 

Also, do you think you'd be able to swing by the spa and take a picture of the menu? I'd super appreciate it, but if not, I totally understand!

It was $38 including the cooler bag (there were 6 bottles)
