Rare sid_9169 Posted December 8, 2022 Author #1301 Share Posted December 8, 2022 This girl just came up to the Alchemy Bar beside me, and I assume that she was looking down at my phone while I was typing on Cruise Critic... She says "oh, are you Sid? I've been reading along with your adventure"... We talked for a bit, and she said she hadn't commented, but had just been "lurking". Of course I told her that I love the lurkers just as much as all the other readers... Hopefully, she'll chime in for real at some point... Ramon is about to get his turn at the tequila mix off... (Actually, I'm drinking his drink right now, but I'm behind on typing) I can say that he knocked one straight outta the park on his first at bat!... 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lady on my left (with the HEAVIEST Southern accent I've ever heard, and I'm from the South) hasn't stopped talking for five seconds the entire time I've been here. She even talks while she's chewing... The two other guys to my right also haven't stopped for even a single second, and I'm nowhere near drunk enough to take it... I almost want to just ask for the rest to go... ***I don't mind listening to people talk, I just can't stand hearing about gambling... It's something that's just foreign to me. I'm not judging people who do it, I just would rather not hear someone go on and on and on about it... On my Flight Sunday to Louisiana the lady in front of me was the same. She NEVER stopped talking, to the poor stranger next to her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I can't provide the names or ingredients of any of my drinks other than the tequila. If you ever sail with the two Nikolas, just tell them to make you some "Sid drinks", they'll know what you're talking about... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 8, 2022 Author #1307 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Wow, day number four and only three more to go... I've gotta make it count, which likely means an early night for me tonight. Not that I've been up past 11:00 all week... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 8, 2022 Author #1309 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Miss Alabama just walked by. I could hear her from twenty five feet away, and knew exactly who it was... *** For the record, I don't have a single thing against people from Alabama. She just would not stop. I remember back when I was a kid, there was this puppet show at Six Flags called Buford the Buzzard. Remember, this was the 1970's wayyy before political correctness. He used to rip people from Alabama left and right, right there in the middle of the amusement park. He would say stuff like: "Georgia is the peach state, Florida is the sunshine state, and Alabama is the moron state. I can't even repeat some of the things he used to say in front of us "innocent " kids. The World is such a different place now, and not for the better... 23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 8, 2022 Author #1313 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) I just saw the guy from last night who I thought was Cruise Life Rick... It's definitely not him. He's standing up now, and he's definitely taller than Rick... Not that Rick is short or anything, but it's definitely not him.

I'm pretty sure anytime dining is free for dinner, but assigned dining can only dine there after a certain time.

jshell2202 Posted December 8, 2022 #1321 Share Posted December 8, 2022 4 hours ago, sid_9169 said: So, the drink arrived and I continued to wait. I didn't have anything better to do, but I didn't want to be there all day. Eventually, my fish arrived, but there was no seafood side. I just started digging in. To be honest, it did turn out to taste good, and it was a pretty decent size fish. The fish dish was $29 and the seafood side $10 extra. Hopefully it would eventually arrive. By the time it did, I was almost finished with everything else. Ahh yes, the struggles of a Gringo in PR. Waaayyy back in 1999 I once waited 25 minutes for a bud light. It was my first cruise and we went to the new San Juan - it was clear me and my friends were not wanted in that area of town. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
