Woo! Nice win. Glad it worked out. Now enjoy some free prime drinks and some music somewhere! Man am I ready to board Utopia next weekend. 

Enjoy it looks nice from what I've seen 😀. Hopefully it will be my turn one day.

Maybe I will go see Darla later. Someone just came up to me and asked if I was going. Maybe she has my song? Can I do a sing along bar sober?

[jam19872016]

Better start drinking.

Glad to see you’re doing better in the casino. Hope it continues. 

I see you’re enjoying another performance by Darla. Excellent choice. Enjoy the show

Turned a small profit today. Still looking at four digit losses for the week with one more day to go. Maybe I can squeeze out one more day of profits. I'm not going to reach Utopia, but I can see Liberty at least. Needless to say, I could have paid for that cruise and come out ahead. I could have paid for Utopia and come out ahead for that matter 😅

 

They have a different menu at the pub than what is in the app. Not a big beer or gin drinker so their menu in the app does not appeal but they have some nice looking cocktails on the physical list I may have to sample them next cruise. The one I ordered was very good.

 

I'm going to lay down and watch some videos till I pass out. We lose an hour tonight so that we will be back on EST but that means one less hour of sleep tonight. Good night everyone see you all tomorrow for our sea day on the way back home!

Showing off my plating skills.

 

 

Hmmm, I know you have manifold talents, but I think they possibly lie elsewhere.

Yes, sometimes I get up in the middle of the night and walk out on the balcony to see if any lights are visible... islands or ships. That is also the first thing I do when I get up in the morning.

Yes, me too. I’ve no idea why, particularly if we are in mid ocean, but it is always the start to the day.

Interesting. I understand that is normal in some cultures but would not expect that in the Caribbean. Outside of Orient Beach.

Here in Bournemouth, people generally make some sort of effort to hide behind bits of towel while changing, but a bare top would go unremarked.

Here is something I didn't think still existed. 

Not much of a deal at that price - though newbies wouldn't know that.

Hopefully the newbies are smart enough to not use it to buy beer.

Good morning everyone.

 

Today is our final sea day as we sail back to Florida. It's been a great trip but like all great things, this too is coming to an end. 

 

But not yet 😄

 

I don't have a whole lot on the agenda just a nice lazy sea day with some exercise thrown in for good measure.

I will keep making plates of food until I get it right 😄

Not a great deal but not a bad one if you don't drink enough for a drinks package. Or are a group of folks who can pool the drinks. Certainly don't go for the beer, but with most drinks priced $13-14 you can get some value.

 

I'll never forget the time I paid $31 for a coffee card. I could not use it on my blended drinks. So I sucked down iced coffee. If I wanted a large it was two punches. It was cheaper to buy the coffee than get hit with two punches for a coffee I did not want in the first place. Now that was a poor value.

Depends on what you're drinking.

No worries at all Jam.  Please don't go to a huge bit of trouble for this.  We will find out soon enough!  

 

So sounds like it is not a very full cruise by the looks of the Who's On Board?  or is it more newbies?

Hugs,

P.S.  Did they serve vino at the officer lunch?

Hotel director's name is Sean.

A little patience is required on a sea day.

 

 

Enjoying today's coffee in Viking Crown because the library is full.

 

 

Overhead music is a little loud. May need to go in search of the volume knob 🤔 

[jam19872016]

Much quieter inside the Diamond Lounge. 

[jam19872016]

Very flat waters today.

Lunch menu.

 

 

[jam19872016]

Pulled pork sandwich and roasted Atlantic cod.

Everything seems to be up to standards.
