Captain just announced we have a delayed departure, for 7pm for thruster maintenance

I didn't do it !!

 

Or, as Dan would say, "I didn't mean to do it !".

The announcement was made while we were enjoying the view from the balcony. Other thing we are currently enjoying is some of Lisa’s birthday cake.
 

Shane decided the we need to celebrate something, so he picked Lisa’s birthday which was February 14th. Happy Birthday Lisa. ❤️ 
 

 

Nice looking cake. Nothing like celebrating a birthday twice!

[A&L_Ont]

We have marked our balcony. 
 

 

Carnival is off.

Lisa shot me riding earlier -  filmed I mean. She hasn’t had that urge yet. 😜

Decent for the wave. I don’t think they have it heated right now as it’s so nice here in Miami. I also do my best not to fall and remained dry on my two runs.

Bon Voyage Lisa, Owen, and Andrew!  

Say hi to Harvey in Playmakers for me.  He was our waiter in Schooner last year on our Bella cruise!

Is it possible to order drummettes only or do you have to have a mixture of drumettes and flats?

Homeric--Bermuda

This might sound crazy but I am replying because you also sailed the Homeric!!! 

 

Our first cruise was in June 1981 to celebrate our 14th Anniversary sailing to Bermuda on the HOMERIC!!! Still remember like it was yesterday.

 

Seas were very rough on the return. Only six passengers (my Husband was one of them) in the MDR for breakfast. Movie for the afternoon was "Nine To Five" with Dolly Parton. Seas were very rough and everytime we hit a massive wave, majority (again not my Husband) of passengers in theater would moan.

 

Fortunately,(almost 50 cruises later) I no longer get seasick!!!!

Not sure. We were happy with the mixture. If we return all ask.

Hi there!  We were on the Homeric to Bermuda either 1982, or 1983.  We cruised around the 4th of July, huge family get together.  We had a great time, we "bought" our own horse and had fun decorating it for the horse race.  Our daughters were in the 7th and 10th grades.  They had a really fun time teaching English to some of the young crew.  Thanks for the memory of my cruise.  We had rain on our last day and pretty rough seas, but a fun time all around!😊

Time to catch up with you guys. Currently at the pub. Everything is in backward order, like that episode of Seinfeld. 
 

 

 

We went to the ice show earlier.  Unfortunately the sand artist is on break this week but the show was still great. 
 

 

Prior to that we went to our balcony for sailaway. A couple quick pics. More to come. We got to turn in the basin on the way out.

Prior to all that we had dinner at Chops. We had an express ride. 
 

For apps Owen likes the croutons so much he got just them. 

 

Lisa on the other hand prefers some lettuce with hers. 

 

Mushroom soup for me. 

 

And the warm goat cheese salad for me. The dried cranberries are delicious. 

 

Lisa and I each got the petite filet. 

 

Owen got the filet and lobster. 

I ended with the raspberry sorbet. They failed to mention that it was a mountain of sorbet.

Love that salad. One of the best out of all the specialty restaurants.

When you have a moment, how is Oasis holding up? We are thinking about planning a family group cruise in 2025 for a couple "big" birthdays that year. The two options are a 6 day sailing on Oasis and a 7 day sailing on Symphony. I love Symphony. I'm the only one that has sailed with Royal at all. So, others really won't know much of a difference if we go on Oasis instead of Symphony. But, I will indeed know that Symphony is newer and a bit fresher. Im guessing that Oasis may be showing some wear in thr csbins or some public places. The Oasis sailing is less expensive so that's where the group is leaning. How does the ship look to you? Would be a good impression for a group of first timers? Thanks

I will keep you in mind during the week. If I don’t hit it on the last day remind me after my final thoughts and I will give you my honest feed back.

Thanks for taking us along on another cruise with you! I've been following for years. Owen has really grown up! Wishing your family an amazing vacation making memories together ❤️⚓️
