Here's a picture!

Later today, we had a bridge tour! Jenny (2nd officer) explained everything and answered all of our questions.

The view was amazing and the technology was very cool.

We left very impressed! This was the best of the tours we took.

Today has been really fun! We took the theater tour and got the full behind the scenes access.

We were able to speak with the stage manager and dance captain. It was especially interesting due to one show being cancelled (a piece of the set broke) and another stopped mid-show (safety).

We were able to hear more about what happened and how the cast and crew reacted. Very interesting!

The launch was great! We were able to see the launch pad from the ship, so we saw the rocket from takeoff to through the visible sky.

Luckily, we didn't go to KSC. Some people say in traffic for 2+ hours trying to get there.

Heading back to port... the last day never looks as good.

We had another great breakfast at Coastal Kitchen. It's one of our favorite places on the ship. DS has ordered the French toast everyday... it is delicious!

We ended the night with Spectra's Cabaret. As with all of the other shows, the singing and dancing were amazing.

The casts of every show have been impressive.

The theme for the shows, though, seems to be weird. The plots aren't traditional and can be hard to follow. That being said, we all enjoyed them.

Dinner again at Chops tonight. Unlike the first visit, where the steaks were average, the steaks tonight were very good.

Service was excellent, too!

The whole week everyone on the crew has talked about how technologically advanced the ship is... and it seems to be.

Then, you see the temperature and speed glitch, or this screen, which has been stuck the entire week. Somebody re-boot it already!

Funny you should ask!

One of the boards has been showing the temperature as 45 degrees all day (and that we are traveling at 0 knots).

In reality, today was beautiful, if a bit windy. I would say the temperature was mid 70s. We were all wearing shorts.

We enjoyed the escape room. It was larger than I expected and fairly challenging. We have not done this on any other ships.

On land, we usually escape in 45 minutes, but did it in 30 minutes here.

The escape room didn't have any high tech effects, but the puzzles were good.

One thing I would say is book right away. Without a Genie, I don't think we would have been able to get in.

Just finished North Star! It was very high up. I'm slightly scared of heights, but made it. [emoji3]

It's a windy day, so it shuddered a little, but the views were great!

Yes, they were making bread. They make all bread on the ship except the gluten free bread.

A busy day so far.

First, we took a galley tour, which I found interesting.

Then, we did the iFly. Marcus, our instructor, was very fun.

Next, we did the escape room and made it out in 30 minutes.

Next up is Northstar!

Bye, Nassau!

Thanks! That goes back to my wetsuit question [emoji12]

We spent a couple hours at the beach. The beach was not very busy... we arrived at 1130 and immediately found chairs.

The beach was very nice, although the water was slightly colder than I expected.

Chef's Table last night was fun... the service was excellent, the wine very nice and the food good.

It wasn't the best meal I've ever had, but I'm glad that we did it.

Best. Excursion. Ever.

We went to Blue Lagoon for the Royal Dolphin Swim. [emoji227]

The dolphins and trainers (Dave and Keva) were amazing. We all had a great time and were able to do a lot of tricks with the dolphins.

Blue Lagoon is a little further than I would have preferred, but the island and beach were beautiful.

Pretty much any activity / show we want to see, our Genie has booked for us.

I'm a planner, so it's been different not being in control of the schedule, but it's working well so far.

Tonight, we are doing the chef's table restaurant.

Just using my cell phone (LG), no filter. The colors here are just that vivid!

Mom.to.2, I did have some Coco Locos today!

They were delicious! [emoji484]

The water was cold, but the sun was hot. I didn't snorkel, but did go into the water. I didn't see anyone with a wet suit, but I could imagine having one if in the water for a long time.

We rented a kayak and took turns going out in pairs. I was able to get a nice picture of the Anthem.

Genie service has been great since then, more like what I expected.

Today, we are stopping at Coco Cay. The weather looks perfect, so tendering shouldn't be a problem.

We're planning for a relaxing beach day, definitely including some fruity drinks! [emoji295] [emoji484]

We had a nice night with dinner at Coastal Kitchens and then seeing the Gift.

While the story was weird, the singing and dancing were excellent.

One unusual occurrence, they stopped the show in the middle due to a technical issue with the set, where they wanted to maintain performer safety.

Everyone handled it extremely well, and the show went on 10 minutes later. As the cruise director said, it is LIVE theater!

Just finished a couples massage, sooooooooo relaxing!
