Shade thrower and the shark attack from the Lemon Post down on Surfside. More fun, different drinks that you won't find on other ships.

I would want to try almost the entire list of drinks from Surfside (then get the heck out of there)!

LOL we're doing basically that. Thankfully the end of the bar is tucked away a little from the gremlins and the bartenders pay special attention since we don't have any kids with us. We'll be back because these first two were delicious. 100% a positive to icon is these different drink menus compared to the same ol on the rest of the fleet.

Agreed. If I haven't mentioned it in your live blog, I actually have very little interest in Icon except for the new included food venues and new drinks... I would love to try those.

 

We'll try Icon class eventually... most likely Star since I pretty much stick to PC and the one hour drive. It just won't be for a little while.

Last week, we learned that she is usually on the port side of the jogging track around 8am every morning.

Her potty box is there.

Can you tell me if the escape room is open yet?

I don't think it is. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere

Hung out in the casino for a bit this afternoon. Bartenders in there are great, and since it's not an easy cruise to get comped, it's been pretty quiet. 

 

They have 1942 tequila at the casino bar and normally the casino program includes all liqueur but since it's top top shelf, it requires host approval. I found that interesting since I've never seen top top shelf at any royal casino bar before. This isn't a huge gambling trip for us so I didn't even bother asking the host.

First of the trip finally

Host on duty approved the 1942 for me. The additional charge that prime normally doesn't cover gets charged back to them I guess. I'll take it. So smooth.

If she's anything like our Buckster, she'll be grown by OUR cruise in September.

Wizard of Oz is so good. I'm not a Broadway guy at all but the show is phenomenonal. The show is currently on pause due to technical difficulty with the robot screens but man is it good coming from a guy who hates Broadway shows.

Comedy time

2am so I guess it's time for bed. Boleros was a blast and then music hall. Far too much too drink. I love cruising. Lol. Time for sleep. St Kitts tomorrow, but not getting off. Empire supper club invite was waiting for us as well.

I like it on St. Kitts.

[BecciBoo]

I need to know all about Empire, we're booked.  My DD and her hubs and mine are all doing a flapper challenge, dressing up, guys may wear tails, we ladies are wearing the feather headband and beads...thought it'd be so fun for that evening.

Good (late) morning from St Kitts 

 

[colesc15]

Mostly quiet main pool spot. Full shade since we got a little too much sun yesterday

You're betting $250?? Your payout is the equivalent of $5.00 on a $1.00 bet!

Buy a bonus feature so not the same. $250 buy a bonus is equal to getting the bonus at $6 bet.
