Back onboard for a trivia marathon session.

Good morning everyone. Today we are in beautiful St.Maarten. St.Maarten holds a special place in my heart as it allowed me to take my first cruise in nearly 16 months back when my own country still would not.

Left with $401. With my money from last week all my expenses have been covered by obc or casino winnings. Except for this week's internet bill 😒. Not bad though for 33 days. Off to bed now. Next stop, st.maarten.

I've got $525 in free play to burn through. If it's not stupid crowded in there I'm going to go test the fates now.

I pull the edges off but then I lose some of the sauce. The pineapple is one of the best desserts and it is no sugar added/lower calories. Highly recommend.

We had a code alpha a few minutes ago on deck c, incinerator room. Yikes. Captain came on 5 minutes later and said everything is OK and no need for alarm.

Last ones.

More more.

More.

Sail away pictures from earlier.

Dinner service started slow tonight but quickly recovered. Everything was good except one dish, the linguine. Fried mozzarella. BBQ wild boar. Salmon Coulibiac Linguine with italian Sausage. Not good tonight, it was like they had a pile of random vegetables laying around and decided to throw them in this dish. It was a bunch of random nonsense and not good. Double roasted pineapple for the win.

We've just sailed away from Puerto Rico. I love sailaway from here and I'll have some pics to post later. Heading to dinner now.

I sailed the Fantasy in 2019 three weeks after it came out of dry dock. It was due for another it was so tired looking and just "busted". I booked ecstasy this summer just to sail her before she was retired and I expected the same. I was very impressed how well maintained this ship still was. Glad I got the chance to sail before she reached her final port of call.

Second place. No medal for me. I have one but it would be nice for one more since I donated mine to my mom. Off for one lunch now.

Time for game shows trivia. I was a huge game show geek as a kid I might have chance unless they consider reality shows as games shows. They are not.

Agree its great to explore. And I forgot about Belize it is a very close second on the unbearable heat scale lol.

San Juan continues to be what I have to imagine is the hottest place on earth 🔥. We did some walking checking out the goods for sale. I made a pitstop In CVS for a diet coke to cool me down. I like PR because it has some character instead of just a tourist trap beach spot. My mom was less impressed simply because she couldn't find any good deals on cheap souvenirs lol. We're back onboard now and hopefully lunch is in my near future because I'm getting hungry.

Good morning. I slept much better. I guess the trick is ro be exhausted. Getting a late start but we just arrived in San Juan at 10. Off to explore.

The internet worked well for a whole 24 hours before it started going slow again. It's sad that is noteworthy. No luck in the casino. Going to bed now. Puerto Rico in the morning.

I'm so sleepy. Stayed up for the 11 pm drawing. On my way now to try and get my name drawn to Dodge The Bull.

Dinner was very good again tonight. I enjoyed everything I ate and service was quick. It was also less hectic tonight now that we've gotten past the first night and lobster night. BBQ pork slider. Grilled tilapia. Weiner Schnitzel. Chocolate Panna Cotta.

I could never keep up trying to post in their thread lol.

Off to dinner. Internet still hanging in there. I wonder if it is really fixed this time.

I'm considering it but don't worry....two of the most prolific live reviewers will also be on that cruise. It will be very well covered 😆🤣.

They are having happy hour in the red frog at 2:30. First time I've seen that this cruise.
