It's amazing how Amazon reads your mind and just delivers your dream. -

Yesterday I was doing a micro inspection to see if I could notice areas of Solstice aging and not upgraded The normal first signs of rust is seen in the glass railing supports. They are touching up daily and I saw no visible rust. Solstice still have the sodden deck chairs on 5. I personally like them compared to Kelly’s impractical cloth sofas and ceramic cubes. There isn’t a Patio or Grill Restaurant. Glass show still in place Finally the still have Silk Harvest. -

I'm really enjoying myself. There are lots of new staff and seeing lots of orientation tours going on. Even with the new staff we haven't noticed any service failures. -

That would be a great cruise. The flights are really expensive to South America. We were scheduled for a Rio to Lisbon but was cancelled due to Covid. -

LOL -- I should proof read a bit better. Honestly I didn't have Rats either. I also realized I identified the Captain Incorrectly. I think it is Caption Theo but have to verify. I have to dig deep on the TV to see for sure. -

I have to admit we are addicted to Jeopardy. Been watching it every evening for over 10 years. -

It is looking better and better. This morning is sunny and I have a short sleeve T on and am comfortable. -

I'll definitely check it out. I usually like to purchase a couple future cruise certificates. My understanding it they are now allowing up to a year to book as oppose to the previous 60 days. -

In a SS and CS you get one account per person. You can have unlimited devices on each account but only one at a time. In RS and PS you get 2 accounts per person. When you sign on via a device if you are already logged on will offer you the opportunity to bump the other off the air. -

We have a friend that owns a Condo in Cabo but are currently in Cozumel. They told us the area they purchased in and say it is really nice to get out of the area the ship ports in. They said it is about a 15 minute Uber ride so we may go and explore. -
A quick google will usually help find a quick answer. Found a site that lists the top 10 drinks to order on a Keto https://liquorlaboratory.com/keto-mixed-drinks-to-order-at-a-bar/

Wow - we missed it and I love sunsets. I was sitting in the dark while Iain napped. We also missed the Retreat Captain's Reception. Oh well, I know he will be disappointed. Maybe next week. -

I think they also de-thatched it which might of left it looking that way. You could see on the other side of the ship on the putting green with the Young Tiger that the grass was quite green. -

OK. Iain just corrected me on what the Captain said. All ships tender in Cabos but Princess gets the premier spot next to the Arches, but once she leave we get the spot as we will be overnighting. That's why I keep him around. -

Our chips were freshly cooked and still warm and crunchy. I ended up eating half of Iain's that he wasn't going to eat. Did you like the Crab Cakes? Was just what I was in the mood for From Memory they have the Chicken Giros tomorrow - not to be missed. One of our favorites. We also often have the Cobb Salad but ask them to drop the Pork Belly and Substitute crispy Bacon (which is what is on the MDR menu). We also ask them to add Blue cheese. -

I only took a 30 minute cat nap. Iain on the other hand didn't get up until 5:00. He does lobe his naps. It gave me the opportunity to do some HOA Business and update here on CC. I have to say the Black Bass last night was one of the best we have had. No complaints on food. I did take a reconnaissance mission to Ocean View to check out their Cheese Selection. Very impressed on first sight - Big Block of Blue and a variety of both soft and hard cheeses. -

See what I can find out but usually the Future Cruise staff only know about the schedules that have been published and maybe a week or 2 before release of new schedules. -

Pretty straight forward. I use a firestick. First plug into HDMI of TV then use the instruction I posted on shifting Sources CC - Menu - go to bottom item press enter then go to bottom - Sources and select your source (using room remote). Then on firestick Go to Settings and select Celebrity Guest Wifi - It should pop up a captive portal to log on. We cut the cord years ago and use YouTube TV. You can access both live TV as well as your "VCR" virtual recordings. I just record all episodes of our favorite TV shows and watch when we want. Because Monday Night Football pre-empts Jeopardy it is usually captured around 11 PM so we are usually a day behind. Depending on ship you may need a VPN via Firestick to spoof your location.
