Live from Indy with UDP - 6/17/22 - 6/20/22 🍔🍺

[John&LaLa]

Think I'm all caught up.

 

Did find a duck last night

 

 

Did I post drink pkg information  🤔 

 

So I guess about $77 plus tip

 

My trip to Izumi yesterday to secure dining reservations

You are forgetting your priorities, Come on Man !  You are drinking to much, you have the "need" to eat more Food !!

 

Kind of knew upfront this was to big a task for you. This is turning into a drinkfest........Need to change the "Name of this Tune" to " Can you Name this Drink"?

 

Then you have people on here suggesting to you to try this drink and this drink. That ain't right. 😞

Nooo this is fun, keep those cocktails comin

[John&LaLa]

Battery at 56%

Bummer.

 

FWIW, this is a 2018 S9+

 

Replaced battery a year ago, and I'm fairly good at only charging when it gets low, and rarely remove until fully charged.

 

Headed to library to check photos on camera.

 

Ciao.

Oh that sounds good  I have been trying to find an alternative to my vodka and cran

 

It was my alternative to the "too many years of Gin and Tonics".  😉

Supposedly we have 4200 guests. So why so many chairs back here 🤔 

Literally hundreds 

 

 

 

Perhaps recently arrived replacements?

This gave me a nasty flashback to the thong mankini discussion from a few years ago.  Shiver.

I'm just thankful that he didn't post a picture actually wearing it! 😁

As I scroll thru all the food porn pics, I keep wondering to myself: Where is everyone's favorite food critic BeeCruiser? 😉  No doubt she would have enjoyed this thread.

It's only the beginning of Day 2😉

[John&LaLa]

Modern problems require modern solutions😉

 

6' cord just reaches. FWIW, in my experience, longer cords charge slow.

 

Back from Library. No SD card reader on their machines. 😪

 

Afraid to use Wi-Fi to phone. Lots of other pics on the card. Would likely overload my phone. 

 

Will experiment later. If they go directly to my internal memory card I'll be fine

Order with extra horseradish. Sauce needs to be pink

 

Dry aged charred steak burger

 

Dry is about right. Only comes medium well.

Basically a hockey puck from a Bolts win

It had a good flavor, but to thick to be well done

 

 

We're on the same page - we always ask for extra horseradish. There have been a few cruises where we've actually brought our own onboard (sometimes theirs is so weak you could almost rub it in your eyes)!

 

When I saw the menu, the burger is what caught my eye - I'd be all over that. However, after seeing what they brought you - no way Jose. If they'd cook it RARE, I'd consider - but M-Well? That's sad! Heck, bring me a release form, and let me take the risk!

That's not what he CLAIMED to be there for. The evidence is mounting to the contrary.

Believe me I asked. Didn't realize it would be so thick. A well done smashburger is a little more palatable. 

 

I'll ask at Playmaker's

Hey, I had 4 trips to specialty dining yesterday

 

That's commendable 

 

And the speedo looks better at 166 than 176😇

[John&LaLa]

Fully charged, again.

 

Off to Fish n Ships

[cruiselvr04]

So did your UDP have the gratuity added at time of purchase pre cruise? It seems strange as sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t.

I commend you, just trying to add some humor and a little extra motivation.

 

Interested to hear what Playmakers has to say about burger temp. I don't need mine mooing but would not pay for a hockey puck... and we we planned on burgers there one night.

Hump balcony, 8338

Bed by window

 

Small sofa, 2 people only

 

Laura's Beringer was in the fridge

 

Only 1 Corona. That's odd🤔

Plastic water bottles

 

Raisin free cookies @A&L_Ont

Sadly, the only cookie I had last night

 

No bathroom pics, because they're all the same😉

 

Storage is decent, especially for one

 

Helps when you pack light😉🤣🤣

Is that your Independence speedo?

That likely depends on the ship and whether it uses the old planner (no grats charged) or the new planner (grats charged).

What's the deal with the ducks? Do other cruisers bring them on the ship or does the cruise staff hide them and the  cruisers find them and re-hide them? I've seen people mention finding ducks a couple times but I haven't caught-on to what the game is yet.

Cruisers bring them and hide them. Others find them and choose to either re-hide them or keep them as a souvenir.

Thank you. Where do they get the tags? Do they print those at home or can you pick them up at the guest services desk?
