first no Aqua, no CC in the room,  no escargot until day 5, not so great entertainment AND now NO Makers? Bulleit? or Buffalo Trace?. They better be ready to rebate me some of that very costly drink package i purchased!!!

I have found Bulleit and Makers at Lime and Coconut on pool deck. Got the last shot of Makers at Schooner bar, don’t know if they replenished. Solarium bar has Makers.  Haven’t found Buffalo Trace anywhere. 
 

Every bar has less than usual, Schooner, Boleros, Pub, Suite Lounge, Suite sun deck, Studio B, Casino bar, Solarium bar. I have a few more to check😜. 
 

If you like Gentleman Jack you got it made, it’s everywhere.

Can't wait to see pics tomorrow. Great change in venue and use of space since the Aqua show is a no go.  Phoenix packed the Music Hall when I saw them in September on a non-crowded ship. I can't even imagine how packed the Music Hall is now when they play.

We went to the show in the Music Hall on day 2. It was mobbed. Personally, I think the sight lines in the Music Hall are horrible unless you get right up front on either deck. You can hear fine, but there is a high percentage chance that the poles or other people will be in the way. On deck 8, the seats are not oriented towards the stage. Other than the seats right up against the  rail up on deck 9, forget it—- it’s a “hear only” show. 
 

Aquatheatre will be better if the weather cooperates, which it certainly isn’t so far today.

Found same thing on Anthem.  Music Hall is not a great venue.  We tried to go to one of the fun adult shows but it was packed and there was no where we could sit (or stand) where we would be able to see....limited seats for that.  So thereafter, we just didn't bother for the evening shows, where we would have gone otherwise if it was in the theatre or elsewhere.

Music Hall is a strange set up.  There are a lot of poles which blocks the view and the seating is more like a club type of seating.  It was packed last night when I walked by and I didn’t even bother to try to squeeze in.

yay!...ok maybe they are going to redeem themselves... now how are they doing with that bourbon issue?still no Makers? Bulleit? Buffalo Trace? its entirely possible i missed an update! Any idea if second "formal night" is 5th day or 6th? still lobster?. Also, do you happen to know which FB group posted the cruise compass? I tried one group but dont see it. Thanks for all you do!!!!

I know they are probably being squeezed by the cost but it’s a bad time for them to raise the price if they can’t get the stock to satisfy the drinkers on the drink package because next time they might not buy a package.

 

If you scroll through the pictures, I post the compass every day on here.  I don’t know which group posted the compass on FB.

 

Thank you for checking in!

What store sells the Louis Vuitton's? 😮

“The collection” opposite the liquor store.  There are signs everywhere that remind people that video surveillance is in progress.  I don’t buy LV even when I can get employee discounts because the price is insane for a bag.  One tiny small bag is like 2 cruises 😂

Thanks. Yeah, I have bought LV items in Bermuda so duty free but I am sure they cost a lot. Still going to look 😉 lol

What are you hearing about Covid on the ship - crew or passengers? Are many passengers masking up inside?

 

Can you check how many passengers are expected on next week's cruise?

 

PS - The weather is rainy in NJ today too!

No announcements that I can hear about the Covid numbers at all but I don’t rush to open my cabin door when I hear the chime either.  Perhaps @mac_tlc can help with that!

 

I will ask about the passenger count for the next cruise!

 

The sun is trying very hard to come out and play!

There may be more availability of liquor today. They usually get their supplies in Port Canaveral. At least they did when the Anthem was doing this run.

Now you just gave @mac_tlc something to investigate further… he might have to retrace his steps!
