I did online...before I left the house. Not sure it was needed...but I did it anyway. 😉

Wow...no calories in that either. Will have to try it ...thanks! Did not even know there was such a thing as toasted marshmallow syrup! Learn something new everyday. 😄

Remember when we were kids and ate "Fluffernutters"? Peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwiches? Or err....maybe that was just a Michigan thing? 😁 Oh yeah, no calories in that eh? Wonder if they make a Fluffernutter drink? 😄

MMm....so many ways to enjoy a good taste of Peanut Butter. 😉 The drink they had listed in the Schooner bar was a "Tropical" Peanut Butter with Pineapple juice. I do like it just straight on the rocks too.

Nice day to just relax at sea....and one of my favorite things to do on one....read a good novel. 🙂 Rain this morning has passed us up and given everyone a beautifully sunny day. 🌞 Bucky somewhere up on one of the quieter decks in a lounge chair reading, while I stay out of the sun and just read in the cabin. Thinking of signing up for the always funny egg drop contest for tomorrow...just have to get creative with a contraption. Have never entered one of those before, but always love watching it. 😄

Not many pax out and about this morning. Not even our cabin attendants are working yet, and it's 9:30 am. Many sleeping it off. 😉 Enjoyed our usual breakfast at 8 am...Ellen was her usual bright and cheerful self. And she did not steal my hat!! 😄

Was very happy we were lucky enough to be on Starboard side. I did walk up to open decks 12 and even 13 aft to check it out before the start of the show, but it was too nuts up there with pax (and crew) stacked deep along the railing. Then found we actually had the perfect (and more comfortable) spot to view the fireworks from our own balcony. 🙂

They actually had a totally different drink listed on the drink menu for combo with the whiskey. I gave the bartender instructions on how they made it for me on Wonder. Skrewball peanut butter whiskey, Chambord, splash of Cranberry juice on the rocks. Yummm! Not sure why Schooner bar is only one that has Skrewball...but gives me excuse to bar hop a bit more. 😄

Yeah, we left pretty fast. Earlier than they had listed on the compass.

Yup...could not be in two places at once. 😉 Logically well planned out. 🙂

Happy New Year!! 20231231_221311.mp4

Have set my alarm...just in case I fall asleep. Bucky on duty outside to watch. We are lucky, being starboard side...should be front row seat. 🙂

Ellen (Chops hostess) playing with my hat. 😄 My NYE drink of choice....a "peanut butter and jelly". Anyone know what that is? 😉 Was introduced to me on Wonder (CK) and only Schooner bar has it.

Balloon drop...crowded centrum.

A bit of a swell out here....great for wondering if it's us...or the sea making us pitch and toss. 😉

Yet another Costa ship moved into position next to us. Yikes... hope they don't sink this one. 😄

We are definitely starting to assemble.

It is 8:56 pm here right now. We are much east of Miami where we departed. So yeah...later. Sorry. 😉 But we are indeed in an earlier time zone. Sun comes up way too early at 5 am. 😮

Starting to turn into position and the band/balloons in the centrum.

Hey, I live along the space coast...I have to pass by his over the top facilities on the way to get on a ship at the port in PC. Talk about way too much blue!!! 😉

OMG...bad boy as usual...and you know I adore you. 😄

Gosh no sweetie...there is no reason to "kill the messenger". I thank you very much for shining a light on the idiots. Thanks again, and thanks for following and reporting. 🙂

8:34. We are still 2 hours earlier than EST.

And stupid.

Influencer? Of what...pot stirring wanna be without a life of their own? 🤣
