Just want to clarify this. I can skip the long lines and just go to the outdoor bar to get a drink and sit out there and be able to hear the music? 

 

The door between inside and outside is shut down and locked during the show. They have speakers outside playing the show from my understanding.

Listening to the tunes at Shakers Martini Bar. I might have messed up ordering the flight...🤣

 

 

 

[CTCruiser001]

Moved on to a Chocolate Martini...

Oi...Just saw two boys...Couldn't be older than 18 or 19 years old nursing Michelob Lights. Parents must have signed allowing them to drink beer and wine. They thought they were the hot s***...

 

I totally was ready to take them under my wing and teach them the ways, but the DW told me no.

 

Sorry boys...Fly free...

Made it back to the Haven bar. Small group keeping it open. Some simple last drinks of the evening, Gin and Tonic, Crown and Coke. Plus two bottles of Aqua. Must stay hydrated!

We have Maya Chan booked for next week and I've been worried about this happening too. I wish our port arrival was earlier. 

lucky! we'll be on the same cruise and we tried to get a spot at maya chan and they're booked solid.

Good morning cruisers! Going to visit Kim at Starbucks as soon as I can function...

Thank YOU!! That is great for a backup plan. I am hoping they may have TV monitors out there as well.

Good morning! Another day, another sunrise! Royal coming into port with us. 

 

[CTCruiser001]

Well...The DW met Kim this morning. We each ordered a drink and I give my card on request - She still needs to see the DWs card too. Oooooook. Annoying but not worth my time. Kim needs retraining.

Breakfast at O'Sheehans...Keeping it simple...

Oh wow. In that case I won't complain about the port times and I will just be happy that we were able to get in!

@CTCruiser001 I don't think anyone has asked yet, so sorry if I missed this question.  How is the internet service and what plan do you have?

 

BTW - Thanks so much for the live updates.  Me and the DW will be boarding on 4/2 so this is a great help.

Internet is ficky. There are times I struggle to post because the page doesn't always fully load. But it generally works well enough. We've been able to communicate via messenger on the ship. We've also done some video chats with family back home. I expected more from Starlink, but it's working well enough. We have the Free at Sea Plus package, which among other things, gave us unlimited wifi access. Signing up was easy enough.

Spending some quiet time in the Haven hot tubs and pools.

We found the same thing with the internet when we were on the Breakaway the week of February 5th.  I wanted to so a semi-live review and just wasn't able to get the internet to cooperate.

It hasn't been bad. We feel the motion, but no where as bad as some previous cruisers described.

I discovered going into settings and clearing the browser's cache every few times you load pages helps a lot! It's annoying to keep having to do this, but doing this lets me continue posting live. 👍🏼

Very strange, I just got two email messages from CC. - on for this post and one for number 273, asking me to write a review. I've never seen that before. Has anyone else received messages from CC liek that?

Sorry, CTCruiser, I didn't mean to steal your thunder, but the emails had your two posts attached.
