Will be having a tasting of toasted marshmallow OF later on.  Problem is they don’t have the Buffalo Trace that supposed to be in most of these drinks that call for bourbon.  Had to get Wild Turkey 101 in the Southern Belle yesterday.  Gentleman Jack is the other option or a Rye - Texas/templeton 

Schooner on Quantum this week is the same, although they did have BT but no 101.  I’ve ended up getting my OFs with the Texas Rye mostly.  The Toasted Marshmallow OF isn’t bad.  A little cocoa hit on the back end.

All good picks at 4.  My league that I’ve been in for 20 years is a four keeper superflex (but players can only be kept 3 years before they go back into the pool), so every year it’s always a balance between drafting for this year vs. drafting the young possible keepers to replace the players you’re going to lose next year vs. drafting the middling QB so you’re not caught without a decent 2nd QB for your lineup.

Oh wow sounds like a fun league.  Those are definitely a bit different strategy than re draft leagues.

Curious know if you heard how many guests did not show and took the refund.  Half thought about calling my rep and seeing about joining you on this sailing but when I mentioned it to Vikki I got the death glare.

I find it interesting when I see the menu and it say's Buffalo Trace and I know good luck having that onboard. Any Maker's Mark on board. I don't care for the Balcones and the Texas based bourbons. Always good if they have Templeton. One of my favorite Ryes.

The rumor is 1400.  Capt. confirmed 3000 are onboard if you have the original number expected you could back into it.

 

That would have been fantastic!  Meet us in Halifax - i’ll arrange for your pickup 😂 cheers 🍻

Some places have BT but not many.  

Tito’s is actually pretty limited as well which is really cramping my style.  

Im pretty sure I saw Makers in the pub.

Lol. Halifax is a much longer drive than Bayonne.  I kind of figured between 25 and 50%.  Enjoy the ship, like sailing during startup except with a full crew.

spotted these bouys as we passed by.  fishing bouys?  just random lost bouys?  don’t know.

Hit the Jammer for quick lunch

The steamed rice and beef/olive stew was really good together.  Potato spears and veggies done perfectly.  

 

Lemon fish wasn’t that great though.

Beautiful sea day  today 😎☀️

Spent some time in the solarium.  Much hotter than I expected.  Didn’t last too long.

Since you got me to try one of those last year when doing a live on Ovation I think I have been able to get it on every single cruise I have been on since.  I'm surprised you have had trouble getting it.  As an FYI since you're getting on her in the future... I saw Maker's Mark on Navigator.  Sorry I should have taken pictures.

You have to attend the top tier event.  Usually on first sea day.

Platinum+ are invited

I've never seen a Top Tier in Studio B.  That's awesome!

[SteelCityCruiser10]

Gotcha , that makes sense , I have never gone

Kinda funny that "Top Tier" starts at loyalty level 2...of 6 .

[SteelCityCruiser10]

We’ve entered a foggy area.  It’s a really weird mix of sun and fog.

yes maybe called that because they recognize the top 3 cruisers with the most C&A points.

Looks like Nantucket weather when the fog rolls in ❤️

Had a pre-draft ice cream cone and heading to post up in a bar somewhere for my online draft.  This kills our MDR ideas for tonight but we’ll figure something out.  We are very “go with the flow” kinda people.

Wi Fi test looking good 

 

This was taken while on the balcony.

 

 

 

That's nice to see.  Have you had any problems with it anywhere else?

[luckyinpa]

i tried looking online at multiple sites when i heard about the cancellations but i couldnt find any way to book. wondering if anyone did.

 

but 1/3 down on the passengers means no waits for anything

No actually I’m glad you asked bc i was going to comment that this is by far the best wi fi i have experienced in recent years.  Wi-fi is great on the balcony which has NEVER happened.  In fact it’s non existent on the balcony every other time.  Only time it’s been slow or locked up has been deep inside the pub sitting at the bar - it’s kinda like a little cave in there.  Have not found any other bad spots yet.
