The oldest cruiser at 90 and a half

 

 

She said she loved the food, the service, and the eye candy.

Most days sailed at 717. They were very cute. Sweatshirts say “Yoda the best grandpa/grandma”

The staff is going to miss MarQ. He is leaving on Saturday. His next ship is the Vista.

Marq has a special moment for couples. 
 

 

A very special couple

 

 

 

He encouraged couples to come up to dance. This lady’s husband was nappin so she went up alone. MarQ helped her out.

Yes! He was very nice and said you helped him out a few times with information.

I might have crashed the 2nd VIFP party for informational purposes only. 
 

The youngest cruiser with the most sailing days was 14 years old. MarQ felt a little intimidated so he grabbed a chair to stand on. 

 

 

 

 

It’s still not that crowded.

The internet might be working against me on this one. I’ll try again later. Sorry!

This is funny because I love a warm pool but I know a lot of people don't. We have a timeshare in Key West and I've read a lot of recent complaints that they've been keeping the pool there too cold this summer. I always knew the pool there is heated in the winter but didn't know they're able to chill it also. Recent reports are the pool is around 82 (yep, too cold for me). We're not going until December so I don't think I'll have to worry about the pool then. 😂

 

We're more hot tub people on cruise ships too, if we can find a quiet one. Enjoy that Terrazza area!

I swim every day at rec center, I think it depends on use. The lap swimmers prefer it cool (81F), the water walkers/water aerobics prefer it warm (84), and when I do Ahi Chi (tai chi in water) I go to the 90+ pool.

After the second party, we grabbed some pizza and went to Motown Trivia. 
 

 

It was very hard but enjoyed the music. 
 

We saw Landry’s 6:00 pm show

We grabbed some dinner on Lido before heading to Epic Rock.

 

I have seen the show many times but always love singing along to the music. 
 

 

Quite a surprise when she popped up at our row. 
 

[TravelE]

More Epic Rock

This male lead’s 🎤 and ear piece were giving him problems the first half of the show. He sounded very screechy which makes me wonder if they use autotune. 
 

He’s not too happy here but was very professional as he kept on singing. 
 

 

By the end of the show, it was fixed and he sounded great. 
 

[TravelE]

Next was comedy with Arvin Mitchell. 
 

We passed by the Heroes Bar and it was packed for the NFL game.

Jimbo, as a teaser I'll just say go hungry! 😃

[TravelE]

Arvin got made that I was taking pictures and grabbed my phone. 
 

 

 

 

 

I gave him my best “don’t mess with me” look and he gave it back pretty quickly!

 

But that is how he does most of his shows — picking on audience members. 

[TravelE]

I went back to the room to put on dancing shoes - 👟- for the Silent Disco. 
 

Sadly it was raining pretty hard and they paused on giving out headsets. I really did not want to dance in the rain. So we called it a night. 
 

 

 

 

I wish they would close the roof each evening. It would have saved Festa Italiana and the Silent Disco. 

[TravelE]

Now it’s morning on our last day.

We found a spot outside on Deck 5 to read and enjoy coffee. 
 

 

Saw a rainbow
