That cheeseburger (from Day 1, I think) looks really good.  I don't eat much red meat these days but I do crave a good cheeseburger on occasion.  I don't really eat much sweets.  I'd rather waste the calories and carbs by having another beer or glass of wine. 😁

 

Looking forward to Coco Cay.  Was rather alarmed at the prices X wants for some of the beaches and to rent a decent chair.  I'm not really a "beach person" (sounds silly when you've been to Caribbean islands dozens of times), so I'll probably just walk around and check everything out.  Stop and have an over-priced beer somewhere.

 

Is the casino open when the ship is there?  Seems some lines keep it open when they're at their private islands.

 

I like the drum slots.  And the one I call Money Pit.  And usually some that have dragons.

The burger at lunch is really good. Don't bother with the one at mast grill.

 

Pricing on the island is insane but that is a Royal Caribbean dynamic pricing policy in play. I've actually found the prices cheaper today than a typical day with two mega ships in port. Lots and lots of free shaded lounge chairs.

 

The casino is open and a great day to play without the crowds hogging the fun machines.

Free and available at 1145. In front of a nice view of the ships but not really a beach if you wanted to be on the beach.

Best included lunch on Royal or Celebrity

Funnel cake and a brownie...because I had to 😉

 

 

[jam19872016]

That funnel cake was delicious. So was the brownie. All the food on the island is so good. 

 

The heat was starting to get to me after consuming all those calories and so I headed back to the ship. 

 

Cooling off in the room for a few minutes then will head to the gym and heat back up to get in today's exercise.

Almost that time 😀

Today's al bacon is read only I am still so full.

 

 

I did grab another coffee.

There she goes

 

 

 

Our departure is delayed an hour due to a medical emergency.

Had a relaxing afternoon alternating between the gym and the sauna.

 

Then the casino had a $5 freeplay promotion so I stopped in. Their motive to suck me in worked as I ended up playing a little and did not do great. Was trying to stick to video poker as it is less volatile than slots but there are only four to go around so nothing was open. I didn't do so great so I will wait until I can get on video poker again.

 

There has been a lot going on at night and I have had to pick and choose what I want to do. Tonight there is not really anything catching my eye. There is a magician in the theater, a comedy magician, maybe he's great but I don't think I can sit through that. Abba singalong looks good, but it is in the foyer at 8pm and you already know how I feel about that. I may still give it a go.

 

Not sure about dinner either, I am so full I don't know if I want to do the dining room. I may just pop into the buffet but I wasn't really drawn in the first night when I passed by so I will probably still end up in the MDR.

 

Not going to fill up the mobile bar tonight, I need to crack open the carry on bottle. I think I will stop and have a couple drinks and then just drink my carry on after happy hour.

[jam19872016]

Buffet drew me in. 

 

 

And what's that behind the ginger ale? My very own salt and pepper.

[jam19872016]

I told myself I would skip dessert. I lied to myself.

 

I have no idea how to pronounce or spell any of these....except the pineapple upside down cake which I felt was sending me a signal.

No lemon or chocolate tarts? Those sandwiches are taking up too much space. You may not like it but I thought their marble pound cake was really good. But nothing compares to those tarts.

 

Thanks for the picture!

Looks like a fruit tart today. I missed the chocolate tart yesterday. I hope that it will reappear tomorrow.

[jam19872016]

I don't say it often, but dang that was a good buffet tonight. Everything I had was really really good, not a single bad bite in the bunch.  I had to restrain myself from getting more. 

[jam19872016]

I think I am gonna go dip my toes in the casino 😬

[luvcruzing]

Good luck!

[jam19872016]

Was going to eat and call it a night but maybe I will rally...let's open the bottle. I may need it if the casino doesn't play nice.

Casino was too crowded...saved me from myself.
