Royal Caribbean Cruisers -- How Are Things Where You Are? (was "Routine" ​ 😁 ​day in lockdown... how was yours?)

[Ocean Boy]

OK, another design issue with this ship. If you go outside on deck five you not only can't get to the bow like O class but you can't get to the stern either. You run into bulkhead going forward and aft. I don't like that. 

[Ocean Boy]

Oh @Sea DogGuess what this is. It is very good but I give the edge to Baileys. It has a smoother taste.

Sorry @Sea Dog, but it looks like there is someone rooting against your Chiefs. 

 

Meanwhile, I cracked open a new bottle, and used something bigger than those tiny glasses Royal uses.

Here is a question that probably has no answer. After building a bunch of ships with no balconies having views obstructed by lifeboats, why does RCI design a class that has the obstruction issue again? I would not book deck 6 on a Q class ship though I realize that not every Cabin on that deck is affected. I can't remember for sure about R class but this is not an issue on V/F/O class ships. 

No idea why designed this way but we have had some great cabins on deck 6, some with 0 obstruction and some with only minor obstruction where you cannot see straight down to the water.  We actually prefer deck 6 as it's an easy walk to decks 3, 4 or 5.   We like to stay near aft elevator on Anthem.

Thanks Arzeena!  Just out of Ft.Lauderdale, 4 night to Coco Cay and Nassau on the Liberty..we just need 6 points more for Diamond, so we're booked on an Aft JS.😉

Sounds like a perfect getaway.   I hope you have perfect weather and enjoy your JS. 🥰

Bon Voyage🍹🍹🛳

 I wish you luck but not that much luck.😉

I really like a Kraken Dark & Stormy.  One of my go-to’s

Good morning.  Wet day in Sydney.  We managed a bushwalk between the drizzle though.

I really wish C&A would stop sending me cookies, or anything else, that I can get for free, in the WJ. 

 

In another note, I was originally unhappy that I get a block on this cruise instead of the last one on Allure. Now I'm really looking forward to my Odyssey block. 

I don't pay for the cookies sent to my cabin, and they send chocolate chip cookies, which haven't available for a while in WJ.

@Momof3gurlzhave a great cruise, Deb!

Bon Voyage today!🛳️

 

We sail tomorrow ☺️

Wishing you and Jim the most wonderful cruise with smooth sails and sunshine.

 

@Momof3gurlzDeb same to you and Andy.  I'll be curious what you think of NCL.

 

@dani negreanuDani, what can I say?  Your grandsons are totally matoke (sweet).

 

@Ocean BoyOB, keep enjoying your cruise.  Did you ask for the footstool or was it on your balcony?

[Ocean Boy]

Just saw Showgirl. I didn't like the first part at all. Reminded me of old Royal Caribbean Singers and Dancers stuff. The middle part was OK. The last part was really good.

It came with the balcony. Two chairs, two foot stools, and a little table.

@jagsfan great comparison photos.

After lunch, we walked down to this beach.  Had the beach entirely to ourselves.  Hot, humid climb back.  Car said 33C.  So many dragonflies as we drove back out along a dirt road.
