John&LaLa Live B2B from Symphony 10/26 and 11/2, Great Expectations 🎂

[John&LaLa]

Hairspray - 10:30 😱

 

This is actually a very fun show. My only complaint is I couldn't understand a lot of the lyrics 

 

We got there fairly late but still got seats right behind the folks who paid $50

First off the drones to start the show are the coolest things ever on Royal. So mesmerizing,  I didn't even take pictures. Might do video next week. 😎  I actually enjoyed them more than the sand artist on Oasis 

Drones??  Oh yes please video next week if you can.  The sand artist was very talented and entertaining.

I don't see it either

 

Ok. I thought with not being able to delete pictures and the double quote, my new iPhone w iOS 13 was the culprit.

I got side tracked while editing 

 

This scene usually has more wedding bells I'm told, I think they are down a few performers here as well

 

Mama is played by a man. Devine originated the roll in the original movie, and John Travolta did Edna in the remake 20 years later. 

 

This is Tracy's BFF transformed. She was a total wallflower thru 90% of the show.

 

And here's the shocker, for the most part, I enjoyed this as much as CATS 😱

 

I just wish the sound was better. I'll ask about that during theater tour tomorrow 

 

I'll be back

About 50 of them with LED lights. Sit down low so they are above your line of site

Got back to the cabin around midnight.  

That's crazy late for us. 

 

Comp drink count tonight was about the same as yesterday.

 

3 or 4 beers, 3 Cape Codders, 1 fake Bailey's 

 

Goodnight from Symphony

Personally, I'm fine with dark chocolate 

 

Me too. White chocolate is like eating "pure butter"...

They added the drones to the ice show on Navigator too.  Very cool!

However, if you sit down front, wear a jacket. It actually shows at one point. Brrrrr❄🌬

Soap snow that is.  Jacket,  LOL.  We wear shorts, t-shirts and flip flops.

One way to stop photo quoting. 😉

It depends where the white chocolate is made and I agree some can taste like that.

I have 35 years experience of selling chocolate and sugar confectionery.

Day 4 - Costa Maya

 

Almost halfway thru leg 1😓

 

You all saw the spa statue earlier, I ended up with a 75 minute hot stone massage with Maria from the Philippines.  She was very, very good. I will be back.

 

BTW, the doors to deck 17 are always open

 

Another observation,  Windjammer has twice the washing stations as Harmony does. Both sides of each entrance.

 

No washy, no goody

Don’t mean to stereotype, but could anything be more Florida vs Canada?!  😆

I was thinking the same thing.

 

Here's a potential factoid. Something like 70% of Canada's porpulation lives south of Seattle.  Ontario is practically balmy. 🤣

 

Or so I've read. 😉

I'm afraid if I had your job, I would weigh like 600 lbs and my A1C would be like 37.

FYI - Put me down for Milk Chocolate.

I weigh 204lb.

I give away most of my samples because with my sweet tooth  I would be well overweight otherwise.

I like the milk chocolate dipped strawberries and Pauline likes the white chocolate dipped strawberries.

The plain chocolate dipped strawberries on board ship are not very nice

I agree, however it's not all that different than our condo most every day.

Come an visit in a few months time and find out first hand. That cute Bella won’t step a foot outside the building.  
 

Another interesting factoid.... residents of CoCo Beach call it porpulation.😂

 

Last interesting factoid for today, then back to John entertaining us. The most southern latitude point of Canada is lower than the most northern point of California.  That point is more southern that 27 states. 
 

 

 

Now back to the regular scheduled material... John time for you to entertain the masses. 🙂
