I can't eat like I used to, even if you can't tell from the amount of food I consume 😆 Yes and that's what I was expecting just with teardrop tomatoes and some other veggies thrown in. What I ended up with did not match my expectation in my mind at all.

She does seem to chat a lot but it's always been a hit and run approach as you described. It hasn't been the acts booked but rather the actives planned or rather the lack of activities. The musicians have not been my style, nor the shows, but I'm not the target demographic so i understand that. But the parties they have put on have been odd choices and not much going on past 9 most nights. That karaoke thing ended up being very fun last night. It was a nice sight to take in. And just as quick as it rolled in, things outside look beautiful. No fog, no dark clouds. Sunshine and calm Seas. Incredible.

For the first time since probably 2015, I don't have anything booked 😪 😲. Even during the 16 month hiatus, I still had cruises on the books just didn't know which one would sail. I'm intending to book 1/24/25 on Adventure of the Seas but I'm having trouble applying the cruise next certificate I bought so I am going to place a call on that when i return. If I can find a quiet time at the next cruise desk I am going to see if they can assist. I will probably sail before then, my birthday is in October and my friend wants to do Utopia of the Seas for her birthday im September but nothing on the books at the moment.

I think most things done by the FDA, or any large agency for that matter, are done out of bureaucratic automation instead of common sense.

I definitely need the button as it still is not holding a charge even after wiping down the connections. At least it is still under warranty.

This had a lemon vinaigrette so it didn't follow that recipe for sure. Based on the description I was expecting something to a tomato and mozzarella salad which it was not. It did have tiny pieces of mozzarella which is not listed in that recipe either. At least the croutons were supposed to be stale.

I've not been. Even on Cunard I found it okay but not great (the breast not the confit cottage pie that I didn't care for) so just assumed I didn't care for it after trying it several times. Three out of the four preparations I've had on here have been excellent. The teriyaki duck at sea day lunch was the only one that was just OK. It's usually the most filling dish on the menu just due to portion sizes 😆

Seems like we are past the worst of it. Things got real nasty real quick. There was thunder amd lightning and fog even rolled in and the captain was sounding the fog horn. I found a sheltered spot on the back deck and enjoyed the show mother nature put on for me. There was a bit of a waterfall effect from the deck above as the ship swayed from side to side. It appeared the back deck would be flooded soon as the drainage was not keeping up with the flow but then the fog started lifting, the rain slowed, and the wifi returned. I have not been back inside yet, but noticed leaks in the ceiling in a few spots in the buffet. Not sure how it held up inside after sustained rain.

Wifi is back but we are in one heck of a nasty storm so if I dissappear again that is why.

We're doing some rocking amd rolling this morning. Scale not working in the motion.

Good morning everyone. We have paid back the final hour and are now back on Eastern time. A harsh reminder of reality waiting just round the corner. Last night ended up being a lot of fun. Tonight is an 80s party, but I'm afraid I will be behaving myself and retiring early but that is a shame this was saved for the final evening. The only plan today is packing and of course eating. I may spend a little time in the casino.

Back in the room for the evening and turning in. Tomorrow is our final day on this 12 day cruise and I'm already sad it is ending but happy for the opportunity to enjoy the past nearly two weeks. Good night.

Last stop before bed.

It's like we got a piano bar onboard Piano man 🎶

Berry smash X 2 Runaway sue 🎶 Edited to say I think she is a run around Sue not a runaway but I'm berry smashed right now and misheard the title.

I'm taking back my criticism of this, at least it has a fun drunk party bar vibe... Sweet child of mine 🎶

Trying a drink. This is a sweet berry smash. Brown eyed girl 🎶

The side of mashed potatoes is the worst. It is like a potato purèe. Feed me! Of course my scale would still say I've had plenty to eat 🤔. Shut up scale!

Second session. Brave choice for karaoke. Don't stop believing 🎶

Oh no Sweet Caroline 🎶

I can't help falling in love with you 🎶

Bless her for being brave enough to get up there....but this is why I don't go to karaoke. Jolene 🎶

Yea it is detachable so we will give that a try. Thanks 👍

A song from the last twenty years. The volunteers are pretty good too. Rolling in the deep 🎶

At the theater for the show. I'm flying solo tonight.
