Harmony on Tuesday. Laura was betting $2.50

 

Major alone wad $576

Amazingly I won $2500 tonight playing online slots playing BETMGM.  I have actually had more luck online in the past year than at any casino, which is really sad.

Low 70's and sunny as best I can tell.

And light to calm winds which to us this week is the most important part.

Well to make you feel warmer, the temperature in PA is going to be 13 degrees tonight. ☀️ 🏝 

Hope it’s a beautiful day for you!

Been following since we are from PA too. Hoping to get home before the snow storm starts and have the Eagles game set to record.

If you go in the casino, could you see if Joan, (a cleaner in there, wears glasses, very friendly) received notification that a cruiser personally mentioned her in a comment in December?@colesc15

Thanks

Got back to the cabin after contributing at the casino.  Will be interesting to see where we are in the morning.  TV tracking map looks like we headed toward Nassau but turned back and are now near Coco Cay again.   Hoping that’s the situation and we get another shot at a perfect day.   Crossing my fingers that is what actually happens.  But we shall see what the morning brings.  No matter what, this has been a fun week.   The crew has done everything humanly possible to make our trip safe and enjoyable.  Just got to go with the flow and remember life is like a box of chocolates.   That’s what makes it interesting.

There has been some day time trivia.

We have arrived and cleared in Nassau! Captain announced that we ended up going back to Coco cay last night around midnight and did another crew swap which took about an hour and a half and then headed back to Nassau. 

[SMN]

Yup.  Whisked more crew off ship.  From what I’ve seen I think RC is doing all they can to make for as safe a cruise as possible. They are vaxxed, double masked. Constant cleaning. Spacing.   Routine testing.  If test positive they are put in quarantine.  I can’t imagine what other steps they can take.  I have felt as safe or even more safe here as any place back home.

For as much hate as a lot of people give Nassau (me included), it sure is gorgeous

My future yacht getting delivered to me, clearly!

Just did the scan the ole SetSail pass barcode trick to see if my guarantee OV balcony room for our Allure OTS cruise on Feb 27th was assigned yet, and low and behold. 12566.

Not to bad! right by the elevators, near mid ship, not below the pool deck. Looks like a room I would pick if I wasn't in the saving money mood. Now for sure, I will not go overboard with the RoyalUp bid. (Pardon the pun) 

What did you mean you did a scan. Can you please walk me thru this??

We love Nassau but we’ve been lazy on our last two visits (Nov & Dec) and just spent the day relaxing on the balcony, enjoying that view!  It was disappointing last week when we were forced to skip Nassau due to high winds.

Sue, you use a barcode reader on your cellphone to scan the QR code on your ticket information.  The QR code contains the cabin information if assigned.

I like Nassau. I'm hoping to be there next Sunday.

If you are in western PA, snow is predicted. Here in south central, snow to mix to rain.  Safe trip home. Fly 🦅 fly!!

Carnival ship joined us and Disney dream. The huge Utopia IV was there my guess getting repaired because the front end was all kinda of damaged.

@suesnake2002What @Funky Fusion FoodsJ is correct, but sometimes some phones have a hard time picking up bar codes from computer screens. You can also screenshot your barcode and send the image to an online barcode reader website. Which is what I did. you will see a number something like: XXXXXXX-XXXXX The numbers after the hyphen is your room number, if assigned. Now since we are a guarantee OV balcony, I fully understand that this assignment can change, but its nice to know that is where we will be as of right now.

I am pretty ticked, but Flo has my back.😉

Walked around a bit and got back on. We asked our waiter friend if we could get him anything since they aren't allowed on land and he asks for body wash, fish oil and body spray so we found those at the shops and gave them to him a bit ago. He originally said no we didn't need to but we insisted. 

 

If you have favorite waiter or staff etc, on top of cash tips, ask if they want or need anything from land. Many haven't stepped foot on land in many months and don't have access to some random things they used to be able to enjoy like what he asked us for. I've heard of many random things like Nutella and body wash.. Stuff they can't buy in their crew shop onboard. They're overworked right now and doing everything they can to keep us passengers happy all while never allowed on shore.

@colesc15This makes me smile. What a wonderful thing to do.
