@Sea Dog Did you get a photo taken of you and Linda in your best attire to commemorate your 25th onboard ship ?

And not pictured Three Lobster Tail and Four Lobster Tail. Yes I was a pig. I normally don’t eat that much but in a effort to give you an accurate reporting. Yes!  you can have as many tails as you want. I’ve heard of people eating 6-8 tails no problem.

 

 

I generally do 3 or 4 Lobster Tails without all the extras on the plate. No sense wasting those items. One time, (and one time only),  my record was 9. I was definitely a pig.

My average weight gain is 10-12 lbs. per 7-night cruise and I'm not a big guy whatsoever.

 

🐷 OINK OINK!

Navigator.

 

Here's the odd thing on our Mariner cabin. If the partition to my left is open, it blocks a good portion of my slider. And FWIW, my door only opens about half way. 

 

Not an issue with Laura's cabin because the door slides the other way

Big line for the start of Bingo. Someday I’ll play.

Who all plays Bingo? Let me know.

 

We used to when it was cheaper and you could win good prizes.  I won a nice sculpture.  Now it is too expensive, there are not enough games, too many people play.

You mentioned you were going to Sabor for dinner my hubby is a big fan of Mexican food me not so much. Could you post a copy of the menu so I see if it's doable for me.  Thanks

Texas Country Music Cruise

 

 

You heard me mention early on that this cruise was also a Texas Country Music Cruise featuring country artists that played a series of concerts for guests who obviously paid a fee for entrance.

 

 

Today a couple of the artists played out by the pool area.I have no idea who they are as I’m not a country fan. I do however respect good musicians who are good at their craft.

 

 

 These musicians were very good

 

 

and the crowd was into it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a video clip I strung together.

 

From what I hear the concerts were lightly attended. I don’t think the promoters got the number of people they wanted. Or the people found out there is a lot you can do on a cruise ship in the Caribbean than just sit in a room and listen to music.

Yes, they can be opened. They cannot on Voyager, Explorer, and Adventure.

Partition door on Navigator can be opened.  They are exactly like the ones on Freedom.

I have been a fan of some Texas musicians even before I moved to Texas 40 years ago . Attended dozens of Jerry Jeff Walker concerts who was best know for Mr Bogangeles . Another great Texas songwriter is Ray Wyle Hubbard , his last single had Ringo Starr and Joe Walsh backing him up , I sometimes wear his Screw you were from Texas T-shirt on my cruises out of Texas😁.

We saw are one and only production show this whole cruise this afternoon. Saturday Night Fever. A hour and half production of the story and music from the hit movie. The Cast was fantastic. Due to licensing restrictions no video recording or photography is permitted . I squeezed off a couple at the end.

 

 

I highly recommend this show. The two Puerto Rican dancers were unbelievable with their acrobatics.

 

Fantastic show!!!!!!!

[Luckynana]

Safe travels tomorrow, Greg and Linda.  Thank you for taking us along!  Jim and I will be on Liberty at the end of January, so I appreciate seeing the pictures of the ship!

 

Remember to drink lots of water on your drive home.😉

Thank you Maryann! I think you and Jim will love Liberty. I think she is still in good shape. The crew fantastic. And the food really, really good.

 

Yes I will be taking my blood pressure Med first thing and carrying a couple bottles of water with me.

She has already said that I’m not to drive hardly at all. She’s the boss so I’ll do what she says. No trying to be a tough guy here.

We have seen this a couple of times , definitely enjoyable.

Our final night at Sabor

 

 

Ever since Linda ate at Sabor on Harmony she has loved their Guacamole and Avocado Margaritas. So tonight on our last night it was time revisit.

 

 

Yummy Avacodo Margarita 

 

 

Even more scrumptious is the made from scratch Guacamole. I could eat this and nothing else.

 

Starter was a chicken and bacon pepper.

 

 

For mains, Mexican steak so tasteful and delicious.

 

And pork burrito.

 

 

Add some Cheese Quesadillas.

 

 

And a sampler dessert.

 

 

All the food was great and we are stuffed. Time to go back to the cabin and pack. And some final cocktails on Linda’s balcony. I hope the stars are out again tonight.

I had one of those avocado margaritas once and thought it was kinda weird. Love the one with spices on the rim though.

We we’re on a Polka cruise on Liberty once. Hardly knew it was going on but met some really nice polka people in the SL.

Our family of 8 (6 adults) reordered these on Harmony 3-4x for the table we liked them so much! Big fan of the jalapeño margarita too & of course the guac. Ate so many chips/guac & apps that I didn’t care that I didn’t love my burrito. Would get the steak if there’s a next time.

 

Thanks for the food porn. 😋

I only know one other Jerry Jeff Walker song and it may or may not have anything to do with your t-shirt 😇 😂

One of Jerry Jeff’s most requested songs had a similar title to Blowing in the wind , I had a chance to ask him about that song once, definitely miss him he passed about a year ago .

I just added the Sky View Lite app to my iPad. I took it outside to try it out. Interesting to identify the constellations and planets 🪐  Way back in my high school days I was very interested in astronomy but haven’t kept up with that interest over the years. It was fun to get back out there and know right away exactly what I was looking at. 
 

I’ve looked at the idea of booking separate cabins for us mostly because DH is a morning person while I’m a night owl. We would probably use one cabin for sleeping purposes and the other one for when one of us is awake while the other is sleeping. It hasn’t worked out for us financially yet. A suite with it’s suite benefits has been the better option than the two cabins so far but I do like the idea of the two cabins so I’ll keep looking.

[Sea Dog]

All packed up. Luggage tags attached. Sitting on the balcony one last time with cognac in hand . It’s been a fantastic week despite injury and pain. Liberty of the Seas is still a great ship to sail on. Great crew who take pride in what they do.

 

My only disappointment was the bourbon selection on board and my inability to connect with one bartender all week. This is the first cruise where I stayed out of the Schooner Bar. The main highlight excursion was Stingray City.

 

Unfortunately we never saw our adopted friend Elaine after our excursion together. I hope she had a good time.

 

My fears of a wild drunken crowd from the Country Music Cruise was quickly put to ease. This was one cruise we’re everyone was polite and respectful. I met some really nice people.

 

I’ll post a few more for our trip back home. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Sorry I didn’t get any Compasses to scan. I pretty much keep up to date in the app. No need for compasses in my book.

 

Thanks for following along. This was my most viewed review yet. I hope you enjoyed more of a personal story. I was a story teller professionally for over 40 years until retirement. I like telling stories that are personal and ones that people can relate . It keeps my head in the game. And if I can make someone laugh or cry, give them some information they might find helpful or just plain entertain then my job is fulfilled.
 

Good night friends. I’ll be up early getting some breakfast and making sure I take my meds and drink plenty of water.
