Have you taped up your mailbox yet? 

 

Havent needed to yet. But they’ve changed up mailboxes. I need to get a pic of that.

Good morning from the Gulf of Mexico!

I saw where Caroline Picard is one of the comics on board.  She has been among the funniest I've seen on any of my previous cruises.

I got a good 8 hours of sleep. I needed that. We hit some pretty rough waters this morning. It woke me up at 5:30am. And we’re still experiencing some no though not nearly as bad as it was a few hours ago.

 

its been awhile since I’ve been on a ship where I’m not 100% sure where everything is. I feel like there should be a hot tub where those tables are in the above pic. The screen with the location maps by the coffee shop I usually take pictures of... not there. 

 

They’re having some sort of a breakfast buffet in ocean plaza

Day 2

It’s the little things. On other ships this door opened into the middle of the room.

Oops forgot

I had read that you need to buy tickets for the IMAX as soon as you get on the ship.  Do you know if that is true?

I doubt it the ticket counter wasn’t even open then. There was a kiosk. And the screen showed how many seats were left. That reminds me I got some pics to post on that.

I know in the past room temperature has been an issue. I think that’s another thing they’ve worked on...and I suspect that’s why I lost my third closet.

Morning show. To what I was saying about the rough seas. Matt just said what we have going this morning is as bad as it will get.

As for my seating in the back of the lounge...it could be worse...but I’d like a full bar in front of me so I can lean on it with both elbows...especially with the ship rocking like this. It’s like I’m riding a mechanical bull trying to stay on this bar stool.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

You’ve got the love seats in the very back. I bet things get interesting there.

It was pretty quick. I got there at 11:18 and they sent me to the early arrivals line...but there was only like 5 people in front of me. They gave me zone 10 but when I got upstairs it was open boarding. I basically walked on the ship. The only delay was security going through my bag looking for alcohol. Let me check what time I filmed my boarding video. 11:32. So 14 minutes between getting in the early arrival line and walking on the ship.

Wow, not too bad!

[Saint Greg]

Internet check. I can still stream YouTube TV

Probably the best I’ve had. If not for the security check it probably would’ve been 10mins.

Some photos I took yesterday I don’t think I posted.

Looking for another spicy Bloody Mary. Returned to the atrium bar but they’re down to one overloaded bartender and it’s not the one who made me a good one earlier so I’m trying the casino bar where they have two bartenders.

I stopped by the imax at 10:30 to check it out. They had 140 tickets for the 10am showing which was already playing and 160 tickets for the 11am showing.

I try to get into the muster last or close to last. I once got sandwiched between a couple of rotund strangers and ever since then I try to get in when those seats are full so I can hit the bar seats in the back. In this case they were filling some aisle singles so I was good.

I could totally use one of these today.  I'm at work.  There is a blizzard blowing outside.  our provincial police are telling everyone to stay off the roads.  ...Did I mention I'm at work?
