Live on Odyssey - January 29, 2022 - 8 Night Southern Caribbean 🚢

[John&LaLa]

No stir fry, pasta again. But I really enjoyed it

 

Laura's haf a little to much heat, but I liked it

 

Windjammer was quiet. Spoke with Executive Sous Chef. Nice guy

 

Since Laura didn't eat much, we headed to El Loco for nachos

 

Pretty day for al fresco dining

 

Now we want chocolate chip cookies. Been hard to find. Jammer only had sugar free. Laura wanted to go to CK, but I said Cafe two70. And yep, no luck, just white chocolate, so we got a Kummelweck. Yes, lunch #3. It was fabulous

 

Watched them practice aerials for The Book, then headed to Cafe Promenade. Nope, none there either. So back to CK. And of course they didn't dissapoint.

Back to cabin with our ill gotten gains.🍪

 

Started to crop pics, and I fell asleep 😴 

 

This is why I was on radio silence for a bit😉

I doubt that you’d Jeff Gordon see as NASCAR is starting up again on Sunday with The Daytona 500. 

 

Is he still driving?

Had to use doorbell.

Don’t you just love those doorbells.  😂 The last night on Harmony some kids were going down halls, ringing them then running.  When I opened the door security was coming down the hall and told me what happened.  I might have to try it next cruise!

Definitely creatures of habit. Headed back to SL for Happy Hour. Starting to not mind the walk

 

When in Rome😉

 

Nice sunset

 

This might be an option for a close beach break. Not sure if they have day passes

 

My Curacao Cosmo was nice, but sometimes I just want a Cape Codder. Tito's of course for M8

 

These are easier to carry😉

Ours sounds funny🤣🤣

[John&LaLa]

In my Happy Place now. I'm becoming a barfly.

Ellen would be proud of me.

 

Blue Hawaiian for Curacao 

 

Espresso Martini never dissapoints

 

How about a Mojito

 

Ray doesn’t muddle the mint. In Ray we trust.

 

Checked off the Boleros featured drink list

 

Vouchers don't exist in here 😉😁

 

But truth be told we are way under 12 for the cabin every night.

 

Never mind, they just know my cabin number🤣🤣

Guess what dinner was😇

 

Decided to visit Pinnacle Lounge before the show. 

 

It pretty much emptied out around 6:30. The orchestra was doing mike checks for their 7pm show. Really loud

 

So we went to casino so Laura could use her earned credits. She ended up winning $200 on Dancing Drums and she didn't give it back👍

[John&LaLa]

Off to the show

 

Moved forward a few rows

 

Still next to the wall

 

This should work for Effectors tomorrow night

 

Aerialist does balancing as well

 

It was a good show, very loud 

 

And I did catch Oceanides in the two70 experience. This is view from center balcony

[John&LaLa]

While trying to decide how to use our $25 food vouchers, I found this🤣🤣

 

Looks tasty @Ocean Boy

Day 6 - Curacao

 

Off the ship around 9:30, slight chance of showers, but it's cooler now, so off we go

 

Parked at the far pier😪

 

Construction on the waterfront path to the fort forced us to make a detour, but no biggie. Hope its done in mid May

 

Made it to the bridge, no rain 👍

 

Hard to get this picture when wind is on your back🤣

 

I love Laura's colourful tops and dresses.

 

Thanks for doing another blog, its a bright spot in our gloomy winter. Three years ago this week we were in the Southern Caribbean on Jewel OTS

Wonderful cruise

Now Quantum ships are different than Oasis. Podium outside the door. 

 

Make friends with the hostesses 

Or, in your case, marry her.

It was good to have the Tito's flowing amd not a bottle of New Amsterdam to be seen.

 

Those glasses are easier to carry around but because we couldn't walk around without masks, I reverted back to regular Cosmos rather than on the rocks since I had most of them while sitting in a lounge.

That is funny. In the Champagne Lounge they stopped taking my seapass. They would just say they knew my cabin number.

Race announcing was his last gig. I’d think he is still doing it this year.

I got to tour his race shop HQ in Charlotte a few years ago.  Spectacular would be the correct statement. I could only imagine how big it would be.

I was trying to figure out how Jimmy Hendricks had a yacht in Nassau.🙄

All this talk about water in cans... I'm abut to order a new travel water bottle to take with me on my next cruise!

 

I would myself, but with all the left over empty water bottle I end up with, I am simply "recycling".  😄😉 

 

I do always pack my reusable coffee travel mugs.  Fill them with the paper cup, transfer to mug.  Works for me.....drinking a Latte now.  😋

We just booked a JS on Odyssey for March.   This is an out of the blue booking for us.  Can you tell me about the JS booking situation for CK dinners?  Any idea if we will have a chance to book for all nights at the beginning of the cruise?  Will there be someone outside CK during embarkation lunch to do reservations?  I would hate to have to go begging each day for dinner reservations, but we do enjoy CK.    

 

JS (and Pinnacles in a non suite) need to make reservations each day on an available basis with the host only after boarding.  The host stand is outside the door, which we love...since it is not a keyed entry and don't have to "beg/knock" at the door. 

 

Cannot book for the whole week, it's day by day.  We were happy to snag 3 dinner reservations, but could only do so on non popular nights (not steak night or lobster night).  

 

It's a nice size restaurant, but more than half of it is blocked off for social distancing.  It could change by March, but I doubt it.  Plus March is a very heavy cruise month, spring break...families, etc. with many traveling in suites.

Probably enjoying their cruise.

 

Yup....only 3 ports of call on this cruise, took advantage of shore leave.  😉

 

Kept very busy today, and really enjoyed "Tap Factory" show last night, after a great happy hour in Music Hall and our favorite dinner of seared Tuna in CK.  🙂 

 

Knew we had time today and tomorrow with 2 full sea days.  Time to catch up.

Upstairs at Steak and Ribs is where we had lunch.  Hard to see at that angle, but you go around the corner on the open deck with that great view.  Highly recommend....and not busy at all.  Great food!
