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.

My mom's scooter is not holding a charge. I am trying to tell her she is going to have to check it because I can't carry that and my stuff too. She is being stubborn. Hopefully it will resolve itself but the fact it says fully charged but will not turn on, I don't anticipate it miraculously working.

That dessert was unexpectedly delicious. It looked sad but it was very good. The green was I think the marzipan and was so yummy. Gonna make it to the theater much less busy on a regular night.

Strawberry cake 819. Still had some green food color left I see.
