D'oh! That's what I get for trying to jump in and hang with the big time posters.

 

Hi Ellen. My bad. 🙈

 

I can also attest to Ellen being a super sweet lady.  Have had the good fortune to sail with her in the past.  🙂

Now I’m waiting to hear that “John” is a goldfish & his name is really Bill. 🤣

 

LOL...then he has a goldfish on his gold sea pass card.  😄 😄

Wasn't that due to BBQing her whale tail stack?  😉

She looks naked.  Like many of us, that's not a good thing.

You must have celebrated your birthday onboard - looks like you "aged" !!  😄

Based on yesterday, it does seem multiple restaurants per day works.

 

Still gonna follow up with Miami soon

It is good that you plan to take this up with corporate. People have a right to know what they are buying.

[Arzeena]

Thanks for this. Loved the pictures and notes.
Have a safe trip to Atlanta. Hugs and kisses for Felix.
I am on my way to FL this weekend. Some working and a lil bit of cruising😁

I weighed yesterday and was up 8 lbs from our 8 day cruise and while cruising felt like I was being pretty responsible and only had 3 slices a day of the yummy raisin bread which found out on the last day they toast it in the coastal kitchen which made it beyond yummier than it already was! We foolishly packed our work out clothes and never put them on all week 😂 Next cruise is in November so I have a little time to get back down!!  Safe travels back home and thanks for sharing your adventure!

I think I guessed 6 pounds so I was close. That’s actually not bad at all unless you calculated for a 7 night cruise. Could easily top10 pounds.

 

Thanks for taking me along.  It’s helped pass my time while Linda was in Chicago and it was just me and the pups for the last 4 days.

Agreed. I average 10-13 on a 7-night cruise although some of it is water weight/swelling so it's slightly artificially high.

 

Almost lost back all the weight from my 5/29 7-nighter in preparation for 7-nights on 7/15. The concern here is the grilling on July 4th. I am not skipping burgers and dogs! May lose the rolls at some point to go carb-free though. Our family usually grills way too much and I'm the garbage disposal.

I didn't do too bad-  I only gained 3 lbs by following this thread and food porn pics this weekend 🤣🍔

I didn't gain weight but a few mornings I woke up with a hangover. 😁🥃

[purduemom1]

John, don’t worry about the weight gain. It will all “go away” once you get to ATL Felix will gladly help you out!

 

Thanks for taking us along.

I agree but she can be hard to find some times.  😆 worth searching to find! 

Tell Bucky I say hi.

LOL....your bro says "hi" back at 'cha!   Happy you two found each other!   People find him a lot quicker than they do me...I am more "incognito".  😉 

 

Well...until John exposed my face on the Odyssey.  😄

I just read this to him...his reply:   "That's because you found my face in the post office first".  😄

Back in Ocala decompressing. And Laundry😉

 

Easy drive. No hassle in Pt Canaveral 

 

Grecia led us out right at 8:00. Exited ship through the fire doors. Then merged into the long line. Folks, keep your seapass out. Big hold up while a lady searched for hers. SMH

 

No idea how far this stretched. Think they got into line from the Deck 4 MDR.

 

Nice to find my Q5 still there.

 

No exit line.👍

 

Not to hot, but humid. Trip to car was under 15 minutes, and that included chatting with folks at confiscated goods table and waiting for elevators

 

FWIW, I thought parking at east elevator was a good idea, but line was long. 6 of one vs half dozen of another.

Had the UDP on Odyssey in March.  We used it at playmakers or the compass bar at lunch and again at night somewhere else.  Also lunch at embarkation and dinner.  No issues.  We didn’t try but others commented they got a meal one place and dessert at another in the same evening.  
 

You did well and those few pounds will come right back off!  I didn’t find find I ate more, just enjoyed it more.
