Rare Mycykfamilytime Posted September 7, 2023 Author #176 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Getting home was a bit of a cluster. We walked up the Horseshoe Bay hill and I looked past the 7 dollar taxi vans with longing, but we had bus passes darn it and we were going to use them. After about 35 minutes, the first bus came but the driver claimed he was not the correct bus. Finally, the right bus came and it was packed. It let off two people so it would only let on two people. We argued with the bus driver to at least let on the poor local women who had been waiting with us and had to go to work! I called it at that point and we started walking back down the hill to those enticing seven dollar vans. One drove by as I was a quarter of the way back down the hill and I started waving like a crazy person and they pulled over. I guess another couple wanted to go to a different beach and hopped out so we could hop on. After that, the trip home was uneventful and we came straight back to the top deck for something boozy caffeinated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the fun things, but not quite as big as the Oasis Class. Here are the 2 classes (Oasis vs Voyager) side by side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mycykfamilytime Posted September 7, 2023 Author #178 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Dinner was lovely! We did the pesto pasta and the cioppino for starters then the chicken Kiev for mains. Snuck away for the sunset but clouds just coveted the skyline. Chocolate soufflé and rum cake for dessert. (Eaten before pics) We seemed to have the dream team for waiters with Law, Joseph, and John… (supposedly a chef and fitness trainer—according to the Maitre D).

Rare Mycykfamilytime Posted September 8, 2023 Author #180 Share Posted September 8, 2023 A little birthday card from our Butler for my Mom. He originally said he wouldn’t do anything, but I know for sure other Butlers did. She’s been celebrated to the max so it’s no big deal. He’s been fine. We ordered cappuccinos the first morning and then he reminded us we had our own nespresso machine and that kind of set a wrong note… but he could have been trying to be helpful. He hasn’t really done anything we haven’t asked, but has been quick to do anything we ask. We aren’t great “askers” so we haven’t really interacted with him all that much. I will say some of the other Butler's have been super lovely. The MaitreD and the waitstaff have all been lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Mycykfamilytime Posted September 8, 2023 Author #191 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Oh I didn’t do great at dinner ate before taking pics. We had the Chinese dumplings, the duck paparadelle and the butter chicken. All were good. I think the duck was the best. Chocolate duo and coconut cake for dessert. The chocolate duo was the better of the two. I’m slowing down folks. Major lifestyle changes needs to be made when I get back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Mycykfamilytime Posted September 9, 2023 Author #193 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I lost internet last night but I seem to be back this morning! The show was Rock… something. I was just there for my girl and she was as good as ever! A big electric guitar riff that the audience really enjoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mycykfamilytime Posted September 9, 2023 Author #194 Share Posted September 9, 2023 My Mom and I did our best to stay up for White Night. The crowd was really into it. You don’t see much of the cruise director, but the head of the entertainment team, Graham from South Africa, is everywhere and he’s SO tall you can see him from everywhere! He put so much energy into the party that the crowd had no other choice but to follow. They did dance songs and dances from around “the World”. Nothing super authentic or anything but fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mycykfamilytime Posted September 9, 2023 Author #195 Share Posted September 9, 2023 High recommend the Mango Tropical drink. It’s blended and minty. Sun was bright today despite the glass guards. I think that I just barely kept myself from burning. I tore myself away from the Sun deck to go to afternoon tea. Finally, we spent the late afternoon packing and getting ready for our last dinner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Mycykfamilytime Posted September 10, 2023 Author #200 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Last show. “Journey” My girl must have had the night of which was sad.. (maybe she heard she had a stalker in the audience) I thought it was cute though. An around the world theme. “Time to Say Good Bye” MSC loves a good flag parade.
