Arrrrrgggg!

 

This Pirate Dog is not happy Apparently YouTube/Google thinks I’m uploading too much to YouTube so my identity has to be verified. They asked for a screen shot of my drivers license. Not so sure how I feel about that but did it anyway. May take a day to verify so I apologize if I can’t post as much video. I’ll try and upload directly from the phone but I don’t like that some with non Apple phones may have trouble viewing.

@Sea Dog  What a great day you all seemed to have. Great choice and from what I figure well worth what you all did. 
 

Great that you and MoandFran hooked up. 
 

Hopefully the weather and seas aren’t too bad today. 

Great write up and videos 😀😀

Thx

Cheers!

Partly sunny with 3-4 feet swells. We are rocking and rolling. Fun ride.

Breakfast in the MDR

 

 

Nice window seat watching the swells as we are still rocking and Rolling. I went with my favorites.

 

 

Eggs Benedict. This was the worst order I’ve had all week. No hollandaise sauce and eggs over cooked. Razor thin Canadian bacon and a tiny weeny hash brown.

 

 

French toast was good.

 

not pictured was my espresso served Luke warm. I forgot to go to the Diamond lounge first and get it there. It comes out nice and hot out of the machine.

 

 

Other interesting note. Remember when the waiter used to come around with a tray full of donuts, danish and muffins. Now you practically have to ask for them. Also no mention of donuts. So I asked them if they still made the chocolate donuts and they said yes and asked me if I would like one. “Of course” I said. I wonder why they don’t just bring them around….oh yeah I know….cost cutting. Out of sight out of mind philosophy. Helps with their bottom line of food cost. Kinda sad it’s gotten to this.

Let’s Get Caught Up

 

A few more things from yesterday. Captain Jaret came into the Diamond Lounge and talking to us. He showed me a nice app that he uses on his phone to track weather and seas. He told us the ship would be rocking and rolling last night and boy did it. Luckily I don’t get sea sick but I bet some other passengers did. The app is called “Windy.”

Take off the sunburn and glasses and you could be twins!

You don’t want them spending more than $16.91 per person, per day on food do you?  Me, borrowing that number from CC’s #1 bean counter, @harryfat1 in his recent report on Navigator.

And, of course, one of those non-Apple phone users would be.... me.

For me those mini croissant sandwiches in the wee hours are my highlight. They probably don’t have them anymore.

That  hot sauce was like dragon's breath, leaving a fiery trail that even volcanoes would envy. 🌶🔥

My eyes started to tear up, I started to cough. I tried to make it better by taking a napkin and wiping some of it away. Then I learned a very valuable lesson. Do not and I mean do not after getting maybe a little of that sauce on your fingers, rub your eyes. “Yeeeeowwww!” Then go to the bathroom to pee. OMG, now my family jewels were on fire.

 

Growing up in Buffalo and eating wings slathered in hot sauce, I've learned this same lesson, including eyes and jewels.  For your mouth, dairy products (e.g. milk, yogurt) and bread helps.  I substitute beer for the milk because...we'll because it's beer and not milk.  Beer doesn't work nearly as well though.  You're on your own for the other body parts.

 

Sounds like you all had a fantastic day.  I'm so glad that it all worked out for you to enjoy each other's company, and that the private charter gave you enjoy extra time there.  I kept checking the webcam and the weather looked great.

 

My first Painkiller was at a now defunct Pusser's restaurant in Cruz Bay on St. John in the early 90s.  It was so good that I took home a drink coaster with the recipe.  I've used this recipe ever since and will sometimes make a pitcher full of the pineapple/orange/coconut so that I just put rum in a glass with ice, top with the mix, and grate some nutmeg on top.  Very easy and very delicious summer drink.

You were the first person I thought of. I was able to upload to YouTube on my other account.

I could easily eat a 4 or 5 of those in one sitting.  Now that I know it's $16.91 per day to feed me, I'll make sure to eat more to get my money's worth.

Thanks for the recipe Bob. The bartender at Heidi’s Hideaway said they use:

Goya or Bluebird Pineapple Juice

 

 

Goya Orange Juice

 

 

And Coco Lopez Coconut Cream

 

 

The Pusser’s was a lot stronger but was really better than the Soggy version. The Soggy was perfect for drinking a lot. Pusser’s for the flavor and enjoyment.

White Rum right?

If you're asking about a Painkiller, then no.  The original uses Pusser's but any gold rum would work.

Greg, off topic but figured this was a good place to catch you.  If you can get into your celebrity account they have are having good sales on the drink package upgrade.  Go into the drink package category in your planner.

A Windy Adventure 

 

With 3-4 foot swells from the outer remnants of Hurricane Tammy make for a fun day. Feels good not to have hair today.

Just did the premium upgrade for the drink package. Decent price. Upgrade on Premium Wi-Fi is still a little pricey. I’ll wait and see if it goes down.

Going through some rain showers. Glad our balcony is slightly enclosed.
