And a good way to give the crew some time off - when few passengers onboard. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 30, 2022 Author #602 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Every time I thought about getting up, the dreams kept coming on fast and furious, so I was like "well, I don't want to miss out on this"... Next thing I know, it's 7:45 in the morning, and I've been in bed since 10:00... Anyhoo, I'm on vacation, so what's It matter? I might need two big to go cups of the four dollar Americano to get me going today... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds wonderful. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 30, 2022 Author #605 Share Posted May 30, 2022 It's foggy out this morning, and looks like it rained. Hopefully this coffee will make me half way human again... Okay, I'll settle for one third human... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 30, 2022 Author #606 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Omelette on the way... You don't stand at the omelette line here, you just sit at the table and order. It's convenient, but sometimes I like to watch them make it too. That's the weird thing about The Galley. You can walk around to all the different stations, but you have to order from a waitress / waiter... Sometimes I think it would be easier to just walk up and say "give me one of those". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 30, 2022 Author #607 Share Posted May 30, 2022 One thing that they don't have, or I haven't found, is a ship tracker. Usually there's one somewhere around the ship, or even on your cabin TV. Other than a selection of free movies, the only TV channels are news. (CNN, BBC, Fox, and MSNBC) that, and one Virgin Voyages channel. Omelette is here! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 30, 2022 Author #611 Share Posted May 30, 2022 The big red firey marble has yet to make an appearance today, but I think it's going to break through the clouds eventually. It is a little hot and steamy out, nonetheless. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 30, 2022 Author #615 Share Posted May 30, 2022 This little area here gets packed around mid day. These are the most popular hot tubs on the ship, but also the dirtiest. I saw a bunch of guys drinking and eating pizza in the one on the right yesterday, and I walked by just now and there are still crumbs in the bottom. I don't think that they drain and refill these every night like Carnival and Norwegian. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few minutes ago, there was a guy and his girlfriend on it, and let's just say that there was NO WAY that he was ever going to win... I'll let you paint your own picture in your mind of that situation. 2 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 30, 2022 Author #618 Share Posted May 30, 2022 This back area, where the triple net is, goes mostly unused. Maybe due to reduced capacity, or who knows. I can tell you that they're going to have to re cover these cushions before long. They're not holding up top well to the elements or the passengers walking on them. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 30, 2022 Author #619 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Going down the stairs from where I just was, is a covered area looking aft... Nice little seating areas, and a covered view of the wake... It's also just aft of The Galley, so a lot of people being their food out here to eat. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 30, 2022 Author #621 Share Posted May 30, 2022 That first cup of four dollar coffee didn't do it. I had to go for another round. In other news: I'm going to have to go sit somewhere else to drink it. If you sit anywhere in The Galley, people will come by one after the other to try and take your order. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 30, 2022 Author #623 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Accounting to my calculations, I've still got pretty much a whole week left on board... Today, a sea day, tomorrow Bimini, and then the second leg of the back to back begins on Wednesday. From what I understand, we'll meet somewhere to take another corona virus test, before debarking briefly. A quick check of our passports and vaccination card's, then we'll be the first ones back on board to enjoy the entire ship to ourselves for awhile. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 30, 2022 Author #624 Share Posted May 30, 2022 This little ipad thingy in the cabin does all sorts of things. It creates different "moods" using LED lights. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 30, 2022 Author #625 Share Posted May 30, 2022 One of the moods is called Get it On, which unfortunately I haven't needed yet. It turns the main lights down and turns the red LED lights on... 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
