island lady

LOL...you first!! 😄 🥶

Me too! We are now one hour ahead of Florida time...so technically it is 10 minutes to our usual 4 pm happy hour. Now I have to get your bro up, who is snoring happily behind me on the bed. 😄

Pretty sure the LA on Jewel was still up there six months ago...but I could be wrong.

They were pretty gross. I am assuming the individual packets are sealed...and waterproof hopefully. But they were indeed apparently exposed to the elements for quite some time, with just a few sheets of plastic laying loosely over the bins.

Another of the cheaper changes that RCI made. A very trimmed down, limited menu for first day lunch in CK. You can still get the kids food, just have to ask for it. Bucky ordered Chicken fingers and a banana split on Wonder first day lunch. 😄

Indeed, when I visited her on day 2, she told me she has just completed the move to that spot. Was she by the pool tables? I can't remember which of the Radiance ladies had the LA there on 6, or up at where the new library is. I think Jewel had the LA on 12?

I peeked inside as soon as I saw those mysterious crates. 😉 OK...I will stop killing you all now. Not really sure what the Protective aid is though. 🤔

They are??!! 😮

I thought so as well. When the LA was behind that wall near the pool tables on some of the Radiance ladies...thought it was too hidden, as was the one on this ship that had her/he on that small floating deck 12 island. The LA is now very visible right next to the Next Cruise desk on deck 5.

Nope. Something the pax on the Titanic probably wished were passed out when they hit that iceberg though. We will be touring the ice bergs in Antarctica...hopefully will never need these things. They look like large packs of MRIs. 😉

Probably hoping to never use them...and send them back for return? 😮😉 Hint to everyone else. There is a reason they are on the life boat deck. But I hope they stay where they are. 😱

OK...everyone put their thinking caps on. Little tour on deck 5 Promenade deck (life boat deck) outside. Found these fully stocked crates all the way forward on port side deck. Any guesses what they contain? Also, a picture of the "washy washy" going on just over the railing (same deck) in these high seas.

Quite the challenge stepping out with the ship rocking back and forth in these rough seas. 😮 One thing I love about a GS cabin, I don't have to take my collapsible wash tub along with me. With the 2 sinks, I use one side for wash, and the other for rinse. Roll up in towels on the bed, then hang to dry on my hook magnets. Method has worked great for me for years now on longer cruises. 🙂

Not this one. Though indeed there are still books (looks like various old donated by pax books) right next to the pool tables. The ones in the picture are brand new on deck 12, where the LA used to be. They put in new comfy chairs and stocked the new circle type library shelf with various novels, all titles with 5-6 duplicates. Must have been quite the Amazon order. 😉

Ran into Laura while we were walking around to find photo ops. 😉 She told us she finally got some well deserved sleep last night too!

A couple of favorite art work prints I found around the ship. I think the ghost couple really know how to enjoy the after life! 😉 The other one could be typical of the bar lizards around the ship. 😄

I feel like I need a step ladder to get out of the high based tub/shower in our bathroom. Yikes, not for shorties like me!! 😮

No idea. Guess I should ask John how his laundry visit went this morning.

Yeah, uggg....I just found one on a work out shirt from being fried on Wonder recently. 😮 Tough to peel off.

Haha!! Hey...Yeah, I want it all. 😄 😄 Actually Allure not staying long...sigh. And I still need to cruise with that ship...would love to see Momma Mia. My sister just returned from being on board, and loved the show. 🙂

Yes, boil and fry one bag per Pinnacle per week. Not much difference for us, even though offered as WC "perk". We always received that as Pinnies anyway. And WC deluxe drink package?.....we already get the six drinks a day per person. Pretty much the only real difference for perks for full and quarter cruisers are the prepaid grats...though we always tip in extra cash on top of our normally prepaid grats anyway.

IMHO....it's simply typical of the whole ship. We are far from sold out. The MDR, WJ, lounges, etc. are never packed up. Elevators easy to grab (even though there are only 6 of them mid ship). Theater never packed either...always easy to find seats.

Wash and Fold sent out this morning, which we fondly call "boil and fry". 😬 But is good for exercise clothes, cotton undies, t-shirts, socks. We don't send out anything that we really care about. 😮 The rest I hand wash, which I just finished. There will be times we will send out wash and press and dry cleaning also. But the wash and hang method works for me, and something to do on a sea day. 😉 Self serve laundry machines in keyed access and only for full WC pax. There are actually very few of them available to the over 600+ full cruisers.

I think there is one with that name on Marathon Key as well. Not sure if they are related.

Beautiful!! 🥰
