  1. When we were there 2weeks ago wife did not feel well so I did the same as you walked the island, but I had a crispy chicken sandwich and 2 ice cream cones on walk back.
  2. Some final thoughts on our cruise last week: 1.Only one Casino host so things were a little dis-organized in casino. I signed up for blackjack tournament, but they stopped after the first round and said they were sorry they did not know someone had signed up for round 2 I did get my money back though. This was my first royal cruise where there was no ship sponsored slot tournaments. Casino bartenders were the worst ever. First tried a Mudslide it was terrible. The next night tried a Lava Flow they must not know how to make one because there was no strawberry puree. 2. The windjammer salad bars no longer have any meat offered except for tuna. We always had to hunt down chicken or steak. 3. They at least had vanilla ice cream in windjammer (oasis in August only had choc and coffee all week). 4. I filled out the forms for distilled water and sharps container before we left home. As usual we had to ask room steward for both. Unfortunately, I was given an already opened gallon of distilled water I was able to get it replaced. 5. We tried to have lunch at the 270 cafe they were out of 1/2 of the sandwiches shown on the menu. We were not impressed with the teriyaki chicken wraps. Overall it was a week off from work and chores and we spent a lot of time playing cards at La Patisserie with my extended family.
  3. We were on this sailing also elevator etiquette definately was lost. Especially the older cruisers they would get on the elevator before we got a chance to exit.
  4. Just off Anthem this morning did not smell weed but someone nearby kept smoking cigarettes on their balcony. Also very hard for security to do anything.
  5. We have noticed that public bathrooms men and women have not been cleaned as much as earlier cruises.
  6. We are on anthem now and get a paper compass in our room every night. Just tell room steward
  7. We are also onboard. They have fixed the engine and have added Port Canaveral back as a port.
  8. Back in 2015 we surprised my brothers on the Quantum they did not know we were joining them on the cruise. Funny thing is the first elevator we got guess who was in the elevator. What a nice surprise for all of us. This year we are going to try again we leave next Sunday on the Anthem from Jersey. Only thing is youngest brother does not have transportation. So we had to offer to let him ride with us at least he was still surprised we were joining. My oldest brother lives in West Virginia and he still does not know we are coming. We all like to sit together in the casino so hoping someone gets lucky.
  9. I was raking leaves in the back yard this morning and had a nice thought. Everytime the wind blows a leaf gets its wings. Third time this week that I raked the back yard and still got 18 bags of leaves today. We only have 1 tree but it likes to keep throwing leaves everywhere.
