I would also eat a dinner at the P&A I believe they have a steak on their menu I totally forgot to go try. 

Saturday is 7 oz filet.  Sunday is 10 oz strip steak.

I think that my best strategy for getting back online tomorrow is to leave my phone turned on while charging tonight with the volume turned to zero in case of an alert... That way, there's at least continuity of connection... Yeah, that's the ticket...

You can't be too buzzed if you were able to come up with an intelligent game plan like that.

It's looking like a beautiful day here in Costa Maya... No real game plan here, but to possibly head over to the Malecon to have a swim in the ocean. Leaving the phone on was a solid plan until about the middle of the night when a loud "Droid!!!" sound awakened me... I turned the ringer down, but apparently the alerts are a whole nother section... Anyhoo, at least it works this morning... Carnival Pride about to pull in beside us.

Nasty neighbor's...

Coffee aquired at Bar Della Rosa... I did finally find Java Blue yesterday, but this is closer and never has a line. Right next to it is an exit to the outer deck, wherein you have to use the dreaded green button thingy, but I figured it out yesterday. I'll demonstrate. Place one of the flat edges of your finger against the button, and hold it there... Of course, you could just press your thumb or other fingertip straight down on it, but this teqnique is for those of us who are a little more "careful" with trying to avoid whomever might have been picking their nose or who knows what...

I think that this area is called The Summer Landing... Two massive hot tubs, a bar, and a nice looking little infinity pool...

Shaq's chicken biscuit with egg...

 

I'm definitely loving this new venue.

Talk about having to swallow your pride... They're leering over here at the magnificent new Mardi Gras, thinking "dang, would you look at that!"...

Junk mail followed me all the way to the Caribbean... Says something about washing the balconies tomorrow in Roatan.

I guess that I won't be getting any towel animals this week... I told the room steward all I need is to exchange whatever towels I use for clean ones. Other than that, I don't need any kind of service. I'm a naturally clean and tidy person, and I know these guys are worked half to death, so he didn't push the issue when I told him that... In fact, he seemed relieved...

They made an announcement saying that you should bring your vaccination card or at least a copy on shore with you today. They said a lot of the restaurants here won't let you in without it.

But I love crawling into a beautifully made-up bed at night. I only use half of the king-size bed, so only 50% needs to be made up. 😀

Me too! And I toss & turn all night so the bed is a complete mess in the morning! Not to mention I'm nowhere as neat as Sid!

I sleep sideways across the entire bed, so I'm getting my money's worth...

I think that I may have decided to just stay on board today and call it a sea day... It'll give me a chance to get caught up on my ship pictures. Plus, I have the Chef's Table tonight, so going out and drinking tequila all day probably won't improve my enjoyment of that...

[sid_9169]

[BohJang]

Have a great day Sid.  I love sea days best of all.  Relax and enjoy the ship.

[stellarose]

have a great day!!!

I went down to guest services to see about transferring the money from my second reservation at Rudi's for the Steakhouse on Friday night. A couple of phone calls later, it looks like they were able to do it. No offense to Rudi's, there was nothing wrong with it, I just wanted to enjoy as many dining options as possible... Speaking of that, what's for lunch today?

 

 

 

[sid_9169]

While I was down that way, I checked out the Heroes Lounge and Pig and Anchor BBQ... Will probably try to have dinner there tomorrow, since it's included. I still have yet to eat in the MDR...

Food selection seems to be slim pickins' until noon... Pizza is open.

 

 

The sandwich place next to that not open.
