Love your reviews, John, thank you.  I have started reading the world cruise roll call just for the heck of it.  Have you decided who is watching Bell?  Have a great time in Bermuda.

I am reading the world cruise roll call as well.  Can't wait to read the blog.

John, if you get a chance in between bar hopping to find out where there is a piano that a guest can play, I’d appreciate it. Thanks

Ok, I have a couple of goals on this cruise. Other than relax and have fun.

 

1) use a voucher for a pitcher of beer at Playmaker's 

 

2) get some night photo's  of the ship docked in Bermuda 

 

3) try 48 different drinks. 8 days, 6 vouchers. Maybe 9 days if I can use vouchers after midnight on last day

 

Here is the roadmap

 

Got tip money at Wells Fargo😁

That's quite a roadmap, John!!!  Slainte'!!

You should have extra time and extra money(tip well so you aren't waiting for drinks) now since you won't have to worry about taking time to catch the Braves Games on TV. You have Laura's vouchers to use too so I'm  hoping you can a least hit the 60-75 drink total.

Bon Voyage, Laura and John!  Smooth Sailing!!  🛳️

 

Great Itinerary😉

[Missusdubbya]

Looking forward to this, especially your pitcher mission! Bon voyage @John&LaLa!

Wishing you and Laura smooth sails and happy times. Bermuda is my favorite port.

Not much action so far? Lost luggage?😉

Think someone spiked the Lemonade in the Wind Jammer? Royal may have got a heads up he is going to try to drink them dry this week..............

I'll try and find out

 

I think we have a pop up piano player

[John&LaLa]

Sorry I haven't kept up. It was a long day

🤣

 

Stuck to the standbys.  The Green Tea was modified. Star Lounge didn't have Midori. So I called an audible and used Apple Pucker.

 

So 6 of mine, 2 of Laura's and 3 in casino

 

Will catch up in the morning

Betty Ann @sweetpotatoqueen is delightful, isn't she? And she really was the Sweet Potato Queen. We miss cruising with her. ☺️

[DoctorWhoGirl]

Always enjoy your live reviews, have a wonderful cruise! We just got off Mariner yesterday after another amazing vacation, she’s our family’s favorite ship. Miss her and the crew already.

Still can't get used to the rename from Beeline.  I think that happened about a year before we moved. 😐

 Just call it the “B-line” and be doubly right 🙂

 

i think they they were trying to influence the change when I was at UCF in the early 2000s, when I used it to go to Cocoa beach with my school friends more than I went the .5 miles from my house in Fernandina Beach (AI for the ones not in the know haha) when I actually lived there.....that beach park was awesome.....

They did when we were on Mariner in July and August. We are looking for one where an accomplished young pianist can play occasionally.

I can actually see my wife taking pictures of your ship as you passed. You are probably in her video as well.

Was it located up the the crown? That is where the ships had them until the card room became the Suite Lounge. I used to enjoy playing and the view wasn't bad either.

Moonlight Sonata was her piece
