Lol yep I made mine too tight and I can't take the damn thing off at night. I don't have scissors to cut off the excess either. 

Guest services cut mine off then gave me new one then cut off the excess after I got to the looseness for me.

Ordered a pain killer and Elvis asked if I wanted it the Royal caribbean way or the original, he recommended the original and it's real good. 

[colesc15]

Definitely got some sun burn today. Getting ready and heading to dinner in a bit so more food porn coming. Tomorrow we're in St Maarten and we have Bernard's tour booked!

Always the original.  Preferably with Pussers Rum and a bit of fresh ground nutmeg.  Years ago we spent a couple of weeks on a 54' Cat sailing and diving in BVI.  Back then if you island hopped, collected so many of the Pusser painkiller tin cups, they would give you a painkiller pirate flag.  Those cups and flag are still around the house somewhere.  Fun times 🙂

I may have to take a nutmeg and grater!  One of my favorite drinks!

The boardwalk at prime dinner time. Extra quiet. There's 2 other tables occupied at Sabor

WOW!  Real sad 😒to see the lack of Paxs and activities in the Boardwalk area. It's like a ghost town.  Usually noisy and crowded.

Holy moly!  It must be almost creepy quiet being so deserted!  But I could handle that kind of creepy!!  Enjoy!

I was thinking the same thing. The porters move the suitcases maybe 10 ft from the curb onto one of those rolling carts and that's it.

At the new terminal A in Miami they have a conveyor belt like in the airports. The porter walks 3 feet if even that and puts it on.

…Hope your luggage always makes it on board.

Trying to use scare tactics? 🙄 If someone doesn’t want to tip the porter why should you care? IMO the crew on the ship really work their a$$ off for their tips.

We got a Margarita Machine for Christmas, now we can make frozen Margarita anytime we want at home.  We use plastic straws 🍹🧉

You should try a Vitamix blender. We love ours and worth every penny. Most bars use them.

“We use plastic straws.” Why did you even make that comment? Never mind, I know why. No need to answer either.

Passengers who are traveling with no unvaccinated guests get the wristband and must be worn at all times so you can enter vaccinated only areas. Word of advice, do not tighten it too far so you can slip it off when showering or sleeping.

Why does anyone even need the bands? In the past it was because vaxxed folks could go unmasked in vaxxed only venues. Now everyone has to wear masks everywhere inside the ships. The vaxxed and unvaxxed are treated exactly the same.🤔

LOL!!! I wonder how many of us got the 🐝 reference? Haven't seen anything as entertaining on CC since those threads!

I did. Guess she/he got tired of changing their screen name back and forth since they haven’t posted lately.

Go to guest services to have it done.

Omg, please disregard. Posted in wrong thread. I have also asked the mods to delete so this doesn’t derail this thread. Sorry.

Yes and yes

Dinner was decent. Nothing to write home about. Your typical Mexican food. More great service though. The guac was very good

No. I was going to make the posts in the tipping thread when I was on it. Couldn’t remember which terminal had the conveyor belt so I texted hubby who is in South America to get the answer. While I was waiting on him I opened another window with CC. Was reading that and then saw I still have the 3 quotes waiting for me to take care of. Forgot to change back to the correct thread and ended up posting them here. Asked the mods to remove it so hopefully they will.

Do they still have Negra modelo at sabor?

 

I agree. Food is decent there.  Nothing to right home about, but it is good.  However, I love the atmosphere at sabor and given the current Covid situation it is nice to have a completely open air restaurant.  It is a great place for lunch too and a drink (or 3).

No aqua show tonight because of the rocking ship. They brought out the cast to say hi so at least not covid related. We asked for the championship game to be put on but they said they can't due to the chance of a 10 pm show which we know isn't going to happen lol

[colesc15]

A "packed" formal night promenade 

[colesc15]

On air is the only venue showing the national championship and its full so this is the other option. Kind of lame but it'll do

If it's wall to wall people in there best to stay out of there  or you may end up on deck 3.

Wr went to family comedy show.  Pic shows “the crowd.”   Even less in balcony area.

Wow. You’d think with all the restrictions they have in place they could find SOMEONE who could turn the game off IF they decided to put on the 10:00 show!  Thinking they would want to make those who were willing to cruise with them during Covid extra happy, but…

Main dining from our table.  Pic taken at 5:45 during our 5:15 seating, as I wanted to make sure late arrivals could be included.
