Heading down to happy hour. If anyone wants to find me, I'm the guy with the mermaid purse who smells like fish.

First off, thank you Twangster for all the information (and photos) you are bringing to this thread. Will be on Radiance PC next year.

I don't think the "A Taste of Asia" menu is available on the (usual) 7-nighters?? Just the long cruises.

We are also on the Radiance PC cruise next year so all this information has been fabulous. Thank you @twangster

Have you tried on the earings? You will look fabulous.

There once was a man with a purse

To the lounge he was about to traverse

It's made from a mermaid

From NextCruise he just paid

But that fish smell was beyond perverse

No, that's smokeybandit original.

Bard however gave me this.

A man with a mermaid purse
Whose scent of fish was quite a curse
Went to happy hour
With a smile so sour
As if he’d swallowed a fish hook.

The other patrons did stare
As he ordered a drink with flair
“What’s that smell?”
They asked with a yell
“It’s my mermaid purse, it’s quite swell!”

The man with the mermaid purse
Drank his drink and then he cursed
“This purse is cursed!”
He said with a smirk
“It smells like a fish, it’s quite absurd!”

The man with the mermaid purse
Left happy hour in a lurch
He went home to bed
And dreamed of a mermaid
Whose scent of fish was quite a charm.

The spa didn't have any ear piercing appointments. Waiting for the engine department to change shifts hoping one of them has a drill.

Sunset

It was a beautiful evening on the helipad.

Then a flock of birds appeared...

I think it was my fishy purse.

With sunset comes moonrise.

The moon is larger in the Pacific.

Off to the lounge for a coffee. For those Diamond and above the coffee machine menu in the DL/CL:

Thar she blows!

Oops, wrong saying.

Unlike the moon, it looks like a full sun today.

twangster · May 1, 2023

Through the morning haze we start to see land.

twangster · May 1, 2023

Huatulco is a new port for me and if I heard Captain Rumen correctly it's a new port for him as well.

Looks mountainous.

I'm taking in our approach from the deck 11 public deck in front of the spa.

twangster · May 1, 2023

I've got to head down for breakfast but here are some pics as we inch closer.

I'm hoping for at least one good night to try some star pics. I wasn't very good at first and learn a little with each attempt. Some attempts leave a lot to be desired even to this day. 🤣

I have complete faith in you, you're the best photog on these boards!😁
