also i’m not sure what he was doing there.  they were much more full glasses than that 

I think they "fill" them, wait for the fizz to go down then another pass to top them all off.

Possibly Razzle Dazzle  breakfast in the morning.  We’ve got a ride reserved for 10 am to Naples area for a visit.  Then heading back to FLL to fly back to PA.

 

Casino treated most of us nicely on the final night 😁

 

Got burgers and pizza for late late dinner and heading to bed.   5 Cheese was the special pizza of the day 👌🏻👌🏻

 

Got some Big Lebowski on the TV &  Loving it!  😊  My fav.

 

Weve got another cruise to plan 😃🍻

Today we don’t have a planned excursion.  Our group plans to get off the ship after breakfast and wander.  Likely Duvall Street.  

Rumor is it’s national margarita day here?  Isn’t that everyday?  lol  

When we lived in KW one of the fun things to do was to go to Fat Tuesdays for a drink. Get the bar stools facing the street and watch all the crazy tourists. It was free entertainment. 🤣

Walking track deck 17 

 

Ugh, I was hoping it wouldn’t be on the top deck in the full sun.

No, you watch a video on your cabin TV and then report to your muster station for a 2-3 minute demonstration on how to put on your life jacket.

Thanks, that’s sort of like Royal, but it can be done on your phone. Love the new way. I thought I read somewhere there is a cruise line still doing it the old way, but I couldn’t remember who it was.

Maybe ended up being mimosas?

@SteelCityCruiser10 Thanks so much for the comparisons. The info was great for our first cruise on VV in 5 days.

Yeah, no more life jacket demo. It was the same on Valiant at the beginning of this month, only video and check in at muster station. 

Same on Resilient Lady - video then very quick check in at muster station.  No lifejacket demo.

If you get up at the time that I do then you won't have to worry about the sun.😊

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this thread. You provided so much info on a cruise line that many of us, or at least I, no little about.

 

Safe travels home.

Those top deck tracks give a whole new meaning to…..

 

Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin' against the wind

 

That is one advantage to Royal’s Oasis class tracks.

Safe travels home.  Thanks for doing this.  I may want to look at these, but it would have to be at least 7 days for us.

I'll take the wind, along with the view, up high on a V/F class ship over an O class ship on deck 5 any day.

 

Remember when V class ships had that gimmicky roller blading track? Half the time was skating into a wind that was pretty hard to over come.

It would have to be at least 7 days for me also and 8 would be better.

For the views, then I am all for the upper decks.  But, when I want to log a few miles on the track in the morning, deck 5 is better because you don’t have some wandering coffee sippers to slow you down.  Or, at least you have more space to avoid them.  
 

That track on VV looks narrow.

I will confess to being one of those wandering coffee sippers at times.☺️

Also I didn’t talk about it much because I wasn’t working out on this cruise other than morning walks exploring and logging some steps before DW was ready to get up but fitness is very forward on the ship.  By that I mean there are tons of workout classes, workout equipment on the pool deck, peloton -like bikes and big gym, boxing ring and heavy bags, ab & cardio classes and plenty more I’m not remembering.  Much included and some cost extra.  I know it was all there and available but don’t have any first hand knowledge experience in that dept.

It’s really nice - I love taking a stroll up there and seeing the water all around (or an island if one is in sight or we are at a port).  
 

I think you can walk all around deck 5 if you don’t want to be in the sun… a few obstacles but that makes it fun! Haha 

[SteelCityCruiser10]

 Went down for coffee around 8 past the gangway and there was absolutely zero madness going on.  I’m still sitting on my balcony drinking coffee at 9 am.  Not even possible on RC.  👌🏻
