Harmony Aug 4, 2019 - We're not on Empress anymore.

[MrsKC08]

As always...thanks for taking us along for the ride. Hope you are faring well with the impending weather. I know you are set to sail out Sunday or Monday?

Bella just needs a big pink bow around her neck to match her ears:) I love it when people dress up their doggies, especially the cute ones like Bella.

Hope They Don't Move It To Tuesday Due To The Port Being Closed.

Day 6 - Cozumel, MX

 

Formal Night is still alive and well on Harmony

 

Still Hot, Hot, Hot

 

Columbus at 8pm. It's no CATS, but much better than Grease😉

I doubt we'll make it to Crazy Quest. It's not much fun in Studio B anyway

At least the CD isn't hosting. 

 

[John&LaLa]

Actually, I use my pill container to tell what day it is vs the elevator.

Not many pills left. 😥

And yes, I forgot Monday morning

 

On the way up to CK, I ran into this little accident waiting to happen.

I know, kids being kids. 🤣

 

Truthfully, this is more typical of the week before last

He was much higher up before I got the phone turned on

 

One of our errands this morning is to get Laura's new ring fixed

Based on it's current condition, we've nicknamed it Vision 

# EndGame

 

The Effy store in Cozumel is sending their jeweler to the store by the pier.

They take good care of us

Edited August 28, 2019 by John&LaLa

[John&LaLa]

Our other errand is to get more Zpacks

So we'll kill some time waiting for the ring to get fixed

Our destination

 

Our objective

 

Now, Mexican Zpack is Azibot, the dosage is just three pills

They don't wait around down here, kill it and be done with it.

They also have stronger stomachs than us Gringo's

 

Back to the ship

 

Decent breeze. Typically on Oasis, there would be shade from Liberty

 

Probably should have stayed here for lunch

 

Mixed grill in WJ tonight. CK for us, Lamb and Lobster

 

[John&LaLa]

Since it's formal night, Laura rescheduled a wash and blow dry. 

Jeric in the spa is a wizard with flattening her mane

 

This is indeed a natural color

 

Watching late arrivals, must have been a ship's excursion, they were 30 minutes late.

 

Lamb was better than last night, this is a chop from Laura's plate.

 

I got the scallops with a side of lobster.

Scallops were as wonderful as the lobster was dreadful. so overcooked. I heard the same from some others

 

Now it's off to the show 🦈🍔🥒⛵

Killing time before the show

 

Second best seats in the house

 

Showtime

 

Up close and personal

It's weird, don't ask

 

Note to self, Johnny Rockets tomorrow.

 

Apparently Fiona is back

 

Overall, a fun show. I got chastised for taking to many pictures. 

Apparently I should just sit back and enjoy the performance. 🤣🤣

Day 7 - Saturday - At Sea

 

Forgot to grab a compass or shoot the elevator floor.  

It's been a long week.

Beautiful morning though

 

Really close to Cuba

 

 

Laura ran out of yarn, so she's Crushing it.

 

Slight Sprinkles

 

BTW, the Living Wall cabins in CP have loungers. 

XX229 and XX629 if you want to book one someday

Going to be a busy day

 

Our Host, John from the Philippines

 

The bar is the first thing you see when you enter the galley.

It's locked up like Ft Knox

 

Remember the Mustard Incident on Day 5?

They slather the meat in mustard before they roast it.

I do the same with pork butts when I smoke them. It burns off, used to hold the seasoning on.

Somehow it got on the lamb after they roasted it.😱

Laura also got a big blob on her mashed potatoes

Ship happens

 

Prepping hot dogs for the Dawg House

 

Our pizza gut from Sorrento's, does great work up there

 

Smells devine down here

 

Here's how to load a bread basket

 

No ticket, no food

 

Off to my next tour

 

[John&LaLa]

Bridge Tour

 

The infamous skooter

 

For his other ride.  I saw it on deck 2, but no pictures down there

 

Swag from the President's Cruise last year

 

Biggest bridge I've ever seen

AKA Wheelhouse

 

No more sitting in the big chairs

 

Don't touch anything.

In reality, I think these controls are disabled

We're on autopilot

 

Dorian is on the weather chart

 

Bridge cam. It's a Cannon, well at least the lens is

 

Former smoking area?

Pinnacle Lunch

 

Invite wasn't clear, but we met in Dazzles for a photo op

 

Meat Plank (Jaimees)

 

Bruschetta (Jaimees) and seafood tower (Chops)

Lobster was tasty, but super hard to get out of the shell

 

Filet and Lobster Thermador (CP150)

 

Fried cheesecake is the star (CP150)

 

I mentioned in my survey that they should do this meal earlier in the week.

On the last day is silly

I don’t know how you can stand to leave her!

She is so darn adorable!

[jagsfan]

Do you remember if Costa Maya, Roatan, or Cozumel had trams from the gangway to the land end of the dock?

 

[John&LaLa]

And back to the Spa for Reflexology

I packed before lunch. 😉

 

It was nice, but I think I'll stick to Full Body Swedish or Hot Stones

 

I'll definitely be back here in February

 

Johnny Rockets for dinner.

 

It was fairly busy, I enjoyed it. 

But it was $10 plus tip.

I miss when it was a BOGO coupon for Diamond's

And it was only $4.95 back then 🤣

 

Stopped in the DL for a night cap.

They had better hot apps than the SL

We had quiche almost every night. 

 

I'm done for the night, will wrap up tomorrow

 

And then try and figure out if Mariner sails on Monday

Goodnight

Costa Maya did, the other two don't really need them

Cozumel did have folks available with wheel chairs

[perfect match]

Thanks, John. Hope Mariner sails on Monday as planned.

 

Enjoyed the gratuitous picture of Bella. 😀

[molly361]

Hey we didn't get invites for  the galley or bridge tours.  We have gotten them in the past when we were in balcony cabins but no invites this time.  Sad, so sad😇

Thanks, John. 

Sometimes I can manage two blocks,  but more often, I can’t. 

I have a Rollator, but it can be a PITA  to get through the door and to find a place to keep it without having to climb over it.

Mail was a mess. We didn't get a form to fill out, so Laura notified Breno, the LA. 

 

The Concierges should have asked as well.

 

Never got invitations either, they were on the TV message system

 

Our tours weren't very well attended. Around 7-8 for galley, and twice that for bridge
