Back from a nice walk and swim at our secret beach. Just us and ond couple snorkeling. I think we will walk it tomorrow morning as well. Pics are on Chris’ phone so I’ll post some later. Now my big decision is where to have my pre dinner drink. Only had half of that Bloody Mary so I’m thinking a martini might be in order this evening.

This is kinda next level. If this product is sold on Amazon, I’m already thinking of my review. This was the second set of this product. The other ones didn’t even have a book. Just the “lounge saver”
-
Thanks for understanding the aim of the post. People can’t help themselves on this topic. I figured it would maybe take that turn.

It was the second night. The captain introduces various officers. Free drinks and canapés. menu was very nice.
-
Here’s a view of “the cut” to get to St George’s. Understandable why wind prevented them docking here last trip

Chair hogs in effect today. Tons of stuff but zero in hot tub and one in pool. Saw the most tacky thing..a sleeve over the top saying “lounge saver” with we are in love or something else cringy. Empty when we walked to breakfast and still empty after. Wouldn’t expect to see that on an almost luxury cruise or luxury light. Seems like big ship nonsense

Since it’s early and the internet is fast, let’s catch up. We were in the casino early and heard a woman yell. She won 12 thousand. Since it wasn’t open yet, I told her friend to call for attendant. Big excitement! The captain’s welcome party was well attended and we enjoyed the canapés and show band. Did two dances and got quite a few compliments on the way to dinner. We enjoyed our first MDR dinner. Gravalax, Serrano ham, and an awesome plant based salad! I love seeing the plant based dressing at lunch and dinner since that’s how I cook at home. On vacation, no rules. The show was also well attended. The comedian was very good and got lots of laughs. Went up to Horizons for dancing with the show band.

The pool was the place to be yesterday after lunch. We wanted to go but zero seats…sun or shade were open. We did find loungers on deck five though which had a great view of the ocean. On the luxury lines, I’ve always found chairs by the pool, maybe not the best ones but a chair.

Another great dinner I’ll talk more about but one of our topics we discussed was what was the menu before the “cutbacks”. Did they fill the pool with caviar? Quality has been great to us. I’ve wanted to nitpick them and I’m struggling. I’m becoming a believer that they do spend more per passenger than any cruise line. Day two and I’ve had lobster three time plus some great canapés and starters tonight. And dessert…wow. Time for comedy with Cory Kahaney

Had breakfast at buffet today. Food tasted great. My eggs Benedict was very under (white was soup) but the quality of ham was lovely. A little miss in technique but they were busy. Played trivia and joined a fun group. Second place!! Lunch was a home run though. Ate in MDR. Shared Taste of World Mexico and loved it! Chris had grouper and I had power bowl. We also sampled the Elvis the Fat Year ice cream. Followed by some writing, shuffleboard, bean bags and putting. now I’m trying the Big O

Great dinner last night in Polo Grill. I had reservations about it due to reviews of how they cannot seem to cook a steak to desiring temps. Not the case for us…both a fine medium rare. We had a sharing table with a very nice couple. I’m glad because the service was slow. It took 30 minutes to place our orders. We were seated at 7:30 and left at ten! Didn’t get to see show but we will hopefully make it tonight to see the comedian. Tried three times to upload pic. No dice. But I will post tons of pics and more stuff in general on blog. Just wrote first day but might have to wait to post that due until better connection. Alpacamybagsblog is where you can find that.

We both upgraded and it was our plan
-
It was Sunny Riviera but he not have mango purée so he used blueberry. It was a very sweet drink but very fresh tasting.
-
30 a day and they asked how many in cabin
-
My husband and I give this grill the edge over Crystal. In addition to steak and lobster…quality bread, fries and sauce.
-
On a positive note. Passing around drink specials. NY Special. According to the bar waiter it has “mysterious whiskey”. Sold. Pool side with Sinatra. Life is pretty great!!
-
Yes. Two. I have some suspicions or it’s due to increasing numbers in general. But I got four bottles of hand sanitizer on my last cruise on celebrity in June. Not sure if that’s standard but it was the week following a noro outbreak.
-
But did they give you ones in cabin?
-
Super hot by the pool but had a nice dip in pool and found some shade. The pool feels about 90 degrees! I love the loungers though. 10/10!!! So comfortable
-
Thanks! We had four bottles of hand sanitizer on our Celebrity cruise in June. Not sure if that’s standard but they had a noro outbreak the week prior so buffet was full serve. It’s just making me wonder….
-
Just embarked Insignia now and found two KN95s in our room. Is this standard for O? We had them given to us on cruises in 2021-early 22 on other lines. I read reports of low service on other sites and now wondering if there’s been some outbreaks. It won’t dampen my cruise but I’m curious if they always give them. So far it’s been great!
-
I stayed in my house lol. We live 2.5 hours from NYC so we drove
-
Ok question for my Oceania experts…are KN95s standard issue? I saw reports of low service last cruise on the “face site” and I’m curious if that was due to crew being sick? Or have they not stopped giving these as an amenity? Please no debates on efficacy of masks. Just want to know if it’s their standard. And a cocktail pic
