Lisa would love to see the Packers game on Friday. It could be in our cabin TV.

Position report.

I guess now that I’m retired, I am just going to stroll in everywhere late! 😬

 

Just sat down with my espresso, and lo and behold, an @A&L_Ont adventure to follow!  How have I missed this so far? 🙄

 

Thanks for sharing, Andrew! 😁

It only streams on Peacock. We are going to be in Fort Lauderdale at a hotel waiting to board Freedom on Sunday, so we made sure our tablet has it installed so we can at least watch it. May try to hook the tablet into the hotel room TV so we have a bigger screen.

 

Even here in Wisconsin it is only broadcast in the Green Bay area on regular TV.

There is a good chance my “Cheesehead” wife will be disappointed on Friday.

I get it for sure. If I were home I could watch it on my big screen but even if I have to watch it on my phone I will. At least I will be able to see it.

 

Not a fan of showing games on streaming services only.

A magnet for this one. I used a suction cup for the sail away video.  As Owen would say - hi risk, hi reward.

 

I like the size of that it looks smaller than the heavy duty mount i have. The only problem with the some ships is ones that have the non metal glass dividers on the sides. I couldn’t use the magnets there. I either had to do a gorilla pod on the rail or suction cup on the dividers.

 

Have a great day today

I’ll put in a request with our Capt. to stay in Bermuda a few extra days.  You request a small intinerary change to Bermuda and we’ll all just hang out.  What do you think?? 🤔 I don’t see any downside.  🤣

Totally agree - total money grab IMO!

[A&L_Ont]

Off to the wave. 
 

[A&L_Ont]

A few random things were in our cabin last night.
 

Not sure if the mask is to spice up 20 years of marriage?  If so, what are the slippers for?
 

 

 

[A&L_Ont]

A couple photos from the balcony. The air temps are warm but showers are pacing us. 
 

 

We will soon leave the freighter behind. Hopefully the showers too. 
 

 

Kankle report, all good. 

 

 

Macaron report. They’re good too.

I asked our Genie and he said that not all wishes come true. Your photos there look amazing. Lisa and I will get there one day.
 

@Yorkvillain we might have to join you next time.

May be a couple of hours until you guys squeeze in that gap between the storms east of Myrtle Beach...

Lunch at Playmakers with Lisa, Tim and Courtney. Food porn to come.

We are just south of the NC/SC border and it's been raining on and off since last night and expected to continue here all day.  Was hoping you were further east to stay out of the storms.   What is your first port stop?

[A&L_Ont]

Onion rings, 40+ wings, nachos, and fries times two. The girls were hungry.
 

Dinner at 7pm at hibachi tonight.

Lisa and I will be taking a bite out of the Big Apple tomorrow night, before we board Symphony on Sunday morning at Cape Liberty. 

 

One of my favourite groups, the Beastie Boys, called NYC home and I’m going to live vicariously through their lyrics for the next 8 nights.  I’ll be…

 

Waking up before I get to sleep 

'Cause I'll be rockin' this party eight days a week.  

 

Any references I make to their musical work through my review I will note in bold text.  Now at my age, I highly doubt I’ll survive a 7 night cruise by waking before I get to sleep.  But, to quote the B-Boys - No sleep 'til Brooklyn.

Can’t believe I’m 3 days and 6 pages late to the party

 

@A&L_Ont’s reviews are some of the best. !

There is a Romper Rom bar crawl going on. Have to love their spirit.

We got a chicken sandwich and hamburger. Also the poutine. I mean, what’s a Canadian to do.
 

 

 

Too bad they didn’t have Nanaimo Bars for dessert. These are amazing. It consists of three layers: a coconut crumb base, a custard filling, and a chocolate ganache topping.
 

Notice, no raisins. Just saying. 

 

Poutine with a the greatest food ever invented. 

[A&L_Ont]

Trivia. Not first. 
 

[A&L_Ont]

This was waiting for us in our cabin after trivia. Shane is the greatest.
