I forgot to ask if he is returning. I'll see if I can get that answered. 

 

@garnetpalmetto he leaves Saturday 

[John&LaLa]

Back in Jolly Old England. 

 

They just asked us to turn our phone screens to low intensity. I probably won't take very many pics. It annoys my neighbor. 😉

She's actually very nice. As I recall she hit 3000 points in September 2017, right before Laura hit 700

I hope to have a chance to meet her some day.

Thanks Sherri.  I am waiting until first of next week to finish up my TP for 2021.  Right now I am dead ended in Honolulu.  😉  Would be cool to have Symphony in PC as well.  Still would love to see third ship come there.  

The 2021-2022 deployment thread is speculating that it might be Indy filling in at Port C with HM in Europe over the summer.  Then HM comes back to Port C in the fall. I still think RCCL would not want to not have an Oasis class ship in Port C as it is such a lucrative market.

I was going to take some pics at Grease and also the Ice show but was concerned about my phone's brightness, especially being in the the front row of the ice show. I did not think of turning it to low intensity. Good tip!

4000 seems like a super incredible number ... hence why I said that was insane when John first posted it.  I am sure Super Mario is way beyond, but that is simply for me an unimaginable number and I have a strong imagination. 😂

Lisa is the same.  For shows I’m always on the lowest light setting. Thankfully there aren’t as many people taking iPads nowadays.

Day 2 recap - Day at Sea

Meet & Mingle, Top Tier, MDR Lunch, Hooked

 

 

Ship is very quiet at 5:30, and dark

 

Scuba class is bright and early.

 

Poached Eggs with Farro, were just ok. No ship makes them as good as Oasis did. 

 

We may have crashed M&M, I thought I signed up, but we didn't get an invite. Held in Jazz, hosted by Activity Mgr and Bingo Lady. 

 

Mic passed through the room to shout out our  CC screen names 

Not a lot of prizes, but there were two cheap wines 😎 We didnt win, but Laura missed by 1 number. Johnny Rocket dinner. But we know the winner, so we're going there Day 5

 

I did get a chance to meet @klfrodo , he thanked me for getting him an Allure shirt for his granddaughter last year. 

[John&LaLa]

Top Tier was well attended. I gave the pertinent numbers earlier. We were treated to a short performance by the aerialist from Hiro. 

 

Luckily she wasn't dumping water on us

 

We chatted with her after the performance,  she seemed very nice. I guess we have to see Hiro now.

 

First sighting of Mr Pop Up

 

Laura enjoying some sun

 

This is @Bluewaterman he won the Johnny Rocket dinner earlier.  Nice guy

 

Laura hanging out on the cabin window seat with her new wine goblet. Recent gift from @Blizzard54 aactually from his wife Marilyn 

 

Another completed baby set for Cape Canaveral Hospital. This one has a Thanksgiving theme. I think it looks like candy corn. She started it on the drive down

 

[John&LaLa]

Lunch in MDR. Sorry no pictures, phone was charging. 

 

We dont go for Tuti Salad anymore. It's all about the hot stations now. It's usually pasta or stir fry, but today was nachos, and fajitas. It was fantastic. Also had a great hot buffet. I dont know why anyone would go to the Jammer on a sea day. 

 

I ordered off the menu. Chilled strawberry bisque, potato soup, and shrimp risotto.  Grabbed a big chunk of chocolate bark leaving the dining room. It never made it back to the room. 😁

 

We also stopped by El Loco for some pork. Long lines, but it moved quick enough. One flaw here is the bottleneck at ice cream and El Loco impact the path to FlowRider and other Aft activity areas. If going there you might want to take port side route

[John&LaLa]

Headed up to SL for coffee. Ta Ta for now

[Tee & Chilli]

Thanks for the excellent review.

Are the cold soups back?

Not really as far as I can tell. Banana rum was my favorite.  I have seen them in Windjammer as well

[John&LaLa]

I need to tell the Captain we are in Cozumel, not Costa Maya.  Gotta love Google Maps

Deleting photos seems to have an issue. Oh well. I wanted to say the Piano has been downsized from Harmony. Sorry for the double post but I couldn’t delete the text in the other one???

I can't figure out how to delete photos when using my phone. It isn't a problem on laptop.

[suesnake2002]

Tell Laura thank you for her crochet gifts. They are really appreciated like you can't believe. 

With my first son I was separated from hubby while he was serving overseas with the army. Went thru pregnancy and birth alone. After birth contacted red cross to contact hubby. 

The red cross sent me a home made goody bag. With crocheted blanket. Sons 35, still have it. Things like that are just so cherished

Let's pick up the pace a bit.

If I need to delete sometime, I just write something different.  I seem to always have an opinion on something. 

 

And yes, the pianos are getting smaller. I'm told these new ones are real pianos. The bigger one is electric
