Another tip... don't know if you enjoy the Production Shows or not (RC singers & dancers). Don't miss Showgirls especially... this cast on this ship have the best 4 singers I have seen in a decade on Royal ships, and all the dancers are excellent as well. One of the best overall casts I have seen in a while. And the older guy on the ice cast is incredible... he hit 2 triple jumps during the ice show!

Rare Sea Dog Posted Sunday at 07:32 PM Author #254 Share Posted Sunday at 07:32 PM Don’t Hate Us!! The only thing better than a sea day is a sea day with your favorite NFL team playing. For us it’s the Kansas City Chiefs….I know…..I know…. Believe me I hear it but I remember going 50 years before we won our second Superbowl. Now the Chiefs are trying to 3-peat which is a very difficult thing to accomplish. Today’s opponent the 49’ers who the Chiefs beat last year in Superbowl 58. I have a close connection to the Chiefs. For 12 years I was a sports only cameraman who covered the Chiefs on all their games home and away. Since we had the coaches show on our television station I traveled with the team in all their home and away games plus games in Germany and Japan. I worked closely alongside my dear friend the late great Hall of Fame Chiefs Quarterback Len Dawson. I don’t miss shooting video of all those games. It was hard work, physical and dangerous. I got laid out in Denver on Monday Night Football when Chiefs Running Back Larry Moriety came towards me on the sidelines on an end around run. I could see with my other eye ( not looking in my camera eyepiece ) covering the play that the linebacker was headed straight for me. Quickly I triangulated in my head the trajectory of Larry plus Linebacker (L squared) equaled ME. I tried to get out of the way but the linebacker pushed Larry into me. I went flying, the camera almost left my hands but I held onto as it went crashing into me. Larry recognized me after I hit the ground and asked “You ok”? I groaned “Yeah I think so” after the game on the team plane I was in so much pain I had the team doctor give me a pain pill. I ended up with bruised ribs and a sprained wrist. The hazards of the job. So I have a deep feeling for the Chiefs. I’ve given blood, sweat and tears with this team. It’s nice to see them winning. I will take that because I covered them all those lean years. It’s safer now to watch them on television. The only thing I will have to watch out for now is the waiter to take my next drink order. Playmakers was the place to be. It was crowded and lively. Sorry I will be preoccupied for the he next 3 hours. ”May I have another beer please?” 32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the old nfl ticket on direct tv , YouTube versions you must watch in live with commercials, I bought it , might skip next year since Buffalo games are on regular tv about 70 percent of the time . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Schooner Bar has some interesting bourbon based cocktails including a toasted marshmallow Old Fashioned. I am trying to remember the others but most of the bourbon cocktails in the Schooner are quite good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sea Dog Posted Sunday at 10:19 PM Author #264 Share Posted Sunday at 10:19 PM Line of the day! @taznremmy and I were talking about watching the football game and I remarked “ I usually don’t day drink unless I’m watching football.” Pat replied “I usually don’t day drink unless I’m on a cruise.” said the Pinnacle with over 1400 points. We both cracked up really good! 1 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only drink during the day in days that end in Y, congratulations to Chiefs on being the only undefeated team , definitely think they’re beatable but they’re a great team . Bills also looked great against a weaker opponent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted Monday at 03:06 AM Author #272 Share Posted Monday at 03:06 AM Dinner in the MDR. A Taste of France tonight. Escargot Roasted Beef Tenderloin (medium rare) Cappuccino Chocolate Cake. Dinner was very good and even though the portion sizes are now smaller on everything I did not have a problem with it after a big meal at Playmakers during the game. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not getting NFL sunday ticket!) We’re in central FL, no NFL Sunday ticket here. We were able to watch the Chiefs game on one of our local channels. I don’t remember if it was CBS or FOX. That’s probably because the Jags played in London, the Bucs are playing on Monday, and the Dolphins had a bye week. All that opened up some TV time slots so we saw some different teams playing. I was thinking about Greg enjoying the game on Navigator as we watched. Sorry you weren’t able to join the party. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
