Haha. My Dad wore size 15. He was 6’ 5”.

With all that good looking food I don’t think I will be able to float in the pool … I will sink like an wet Oreo cookie in a glass of milk.  Oh time for Oreos while I take a break from virtual cruising.

Enjoying a little balcony time here on this next to last day of the cruise... I guess that it is better than being at work. (It most definitely is) I was thinking back to yesterday, and my harrowing journey across the island with a total stranger. Out at the bar over the water, drinking and other stuff with the locals and American ex pats. The one guy that was there on his dirt bike, says "hey, jump on it, and take a ride"... I certainly would've liked to, but I was already drunk and high, and the last thing I needed was to go out and wreck some total strangers motorcycle, being fifteen miles from the nearest civilization. It was for sure an adventure for the books. I'm sitting here trying to calculate how much I've spent on stuff other than the cruise itself.

 

The day in Port Canaveral, at least $160... Cozumel, $120 for my driver, and about  3,500 pesos eating and drinking... Roatan, $180 for my driver, including gas money and tip. Another hundred or so at La Sirena. A hundred and thirty for the Hennessy Pure White, which I'll get back and then some when I get back home... I guess that it costs to have a good time...

 

My next cruise isn't for over six more months, on Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady, for a nine night journey. I can't even remember where it's going now...

I believe a prior post said 5,000

So they are sailing at 100% capacity?

No the fact sheet says full capacity is 6631, so they are at 75%.

I don't think so not yet maybe 3/4s

The great debate of cruising... What to eat and drink next?...

[BennyBrun]

Scoop of vanilla ice cream with a shot of Bailey or Irish cream poured on top of it!

You should try one of the pepper olives.

[sid_9169]

I signed up for some kind of cocktail making class at Alchemy Bar tomorrow at 12;20... No idea what that entails, but I'm stretching to find stuff to do at this point... Still no idea what I'm having for dinner tonight. Maybe Cucina?...

[meatball_nyc]

That smoky drink reminds me of a Sid review where he was invited into the Haven and got a smoky drink there? Can’t remember which ship.

Any ideas on how to ride Bolt free ? Do you need a wristband ?

No wristband. It’s all on the app. You ride by appointment. They scan your sail and sign and you must check in during your scheduled time. Your account is charged when the appointment is made.

The people at work are going to wonder why I don't have a better tan when I get back... I'm going to have to tell them that I was using SPF Alchemy Bar...

The BEST SPF 

[sid_9169]

I've been checking back all day, and my gratuities just now hit my account... Not a bad bill for an entire seven day cruise with as much as I could eat and drink...

 

 

[sid_9169]

I'm gonna have to do this sooner or later, so I'm about to attempt the switchover from one phone to the other... If I don't make it back, you'll know that it didn't work... 

[Hogladyrider]

@sid_9169 it's only Thursday you still have tonight, all day Friday and Saturday morning to ENJOY!

[ZoeyVictoria]

Sid, I was hoping we would be able to compare our experiences on the Bolt.  You still have time!
