So close, and yet so far. I blame the alcohol 

 

So down the stairs and cross over I go

 

How long till I do it again?

What were they thinking when they built that deck?

Cauterized.

Glad us gals can't share.

I'm so late to the party but I'm so glad @John&LaLa sail alongs are back!! Enjoying the ride as always John 😊I was so looking forward to hopefully meeting you and LaLa on the Mariner Bermuda cruise next year but a wedding made us change plans (is it really that bad if the matron of honor doesn't show up, I ask you? apparently so...)

No bar seats at Trellis

 

Makes no sense at all.  It's outside.

I changed my cabin on the Allure in December to one of them, also.  Appreciate the tip!

We have one on Allure 12/23-12/30!  Can’t wait! We have always had an interior or promenade view

Thank you for bringing us along on your journey!  If it is not too much trouble, could you tell me if the video game arcade is open? Pre-pandemic, it would be listed in the cruise compass as open 24 hours but I don’t see it now. Much appreciated!

Vintage deck of cards

We always bring our carnival cards on our cruise as a joke.

Who is the captain this week and is Captain Ron Holmes still doing rotation on Allure?

We have one of these on our 12/12 Oasis sailing - I hope we can get a couple more chairs since there will be 4 of us in our group. Hubby looking forward to checking this one out - he & our son are in this one while son's girlfriend& I ate in an oceanview down the hall.

Can someone give me an example of a full cabin number so that I can tell exactly where this is on the deck map?  That balcony looks great.

Pretty sure we had randomly had one of these or similar on my first cruise for our honeymoon. Was definitely nice to have so much extra space.

Looks like I saw someone sitting there when I was at Chops.  Will look again tomorrow

Yes, Cpt Holmes. I hear he has lost some weight

I've seen 4 chairs on one, and we've asked for loungers before.

 

On the TA we have two cabins, so I hope the balcony opens. No idea though

Chops dinner 5pm

 

Had a great time at Chops, other than being stuffed. We had our breakfast waiter, Jorge, serve us.

 

Espresso and Lavender martinis

 

Cheers to Lala and Lilly @dani negreanu

 

Colossal shrimp cocktail, extra horseradish 

 

Crab cake. Ask for extra aioli😉

 

Mmmm, pork belly. To be truthful, my sous vide version is just as good I've decided. 

 

Big ol Rib Eye. Barely dented it. Perfect medium rare

 

Laura had rack o lamb. And she shared😁

 

Mac n Cheese for @Beeline Cruiser

Broccolini came from CP150, I think

 

Finished with Key Lime pie. It was just OK

[John&LaLa]

Back to Dazzles at 7:30 for Karaoke. 

 

I started with Bailey's,  Laura brought in a Beringer, then switched to her Lemon Drop

 

After 45 minutes, got the nerve to participate.

Needed a Jaeger Bomb first. I sang I'm a Believer. It was fun. Laura likes it, it's a good sing along, and it's kind of the theme for Allure's godmother 😉

 

Laura has video, but they're big files.  May take a while to move them. I hope I didn't embarrass myself to much.

 

Cut out of Karaoke a little early to catch 9:30 comics. Grabbed another Jaeger Bomb in casino. Laura got another Lemon Drop, but waited till we got settled in Comedy Club. To hard to carry.

 

[John&LaLa]

Got heckled by second comic for checking my watch. 😱

 

Luckily he had bigger fish to fry with a group from Maine. 

 

Ended the night at Sorrento's with pizza. 

 

St Maarten tomorow. No evening activities to speak of, so may sneak off and see Wanpen.

 

Probably need to do it before Beatles Name that Tune at 8:30.

Proof of Life photo of Bella popped up tonight

 

She looks wore out

As mentioned earlier, there are two pups onboard. But this isn't a place for Bell😉

Is your old friend Marion onboard that one?

Mario is on the Odyssey right now. He was at the Top Tier party this morning.
