Last night was the first Chic Night.   With all the OBC I bought a unlimited photo package.   Very reasonable and you can view them on your PC and download them at will

 

Iain wasn't big on the idea but with a great photographer he got into it.    First we reposed for the photo that was taken for my Icon. 

 

 

 

 

 

Great photos!

Great photos of you and Iain!!!!!   As always, thank you for taking the time to share as you experience life on-board..... Great information and pictures of the ship/food!  Certainly helps to ramp up the anticipation for our next cruise!  Have a wonderful time and looking forward to continuing to follow along with your journey 😊

Two handsome men!  Great photos!  They will bring back good memories of this incredible trip.  Photographer did a great job.

20,000 steps!  Impressive! 😍 My goal after zumba and pilates reformer is 10,000.  I need to "step" up my game! 

 

I've been doing 20,000+ steps a day for about 2 years now.     10,000 steps is the halfway point to my Starbucks.      Iain's goal is 10,000 but been over achieving lately. 

 

If I didn't walk I would really put on the pounds.    I'm a terrible grazer at home.   If I see something yummy it ends up in my stomach.

You are correct we had about 6 done by a different photographer and pretty much tossed them in the bin.

I shot some pictures of the retreat sundeck on day one.  Glad I did.  We got a cryptic message from the Retreat Hosts and they said it would be closed for maintenance.

BTW, thanks to comments about books earlier, I have read one Lucas Davenport Prey book and enjoyed it, and am now reading a Virgil Flowers book, which I am really enjoying.  I like the main character a lot.  
 

I get “twitchy” as I come to the end of a great series if I don’t have something else lined up.

My biggest problem is figuring out what to "Read" next.    I have 42 unread  books loaded.  Sometimes I like to read a complete series other times swap between a couple different authors so I don't burn through Davenport Series to quickly.

Awesome pictures of you both.

I've heard of the Alcohol Free Spirits but have never seen them as of yet.   I read that someone had inquired and they said no.   I'll ask tonight.

 

I get mine online.  https://drinkmonday.co/

Casino question for all you gambling fans. 
 

How do you put money from your OBC to your card for slots.   I tried today and failed. 
 

I tapped my card and it had a screen for Account or Casino.   When I pressed account it asked for a pin but no where to setup a pin.

Jim, I think your pin is automatically your birth month and then day.  Mine is April 8, so 0408.

I had to ask for help to set that up!  Easy peasy when I got help from one of the staff that wanders around the casino.

Nice picture of Anthony on the Retreat Sundeck.

 

He is a wonderful bartender who is also a great conversationalist. It takes an instant for him to get your drink(s) of choice committed to memory.

 

We had a blast with him.

 

Hope the maintenance doesn’t take long.

Hi Jim,

 

Great pictures and great thread, as usual!

 

I’m hoping you can answer a weird question for me. For the health questionnaire, do you remember, are the questions for whether you have tested positive or been a close contact both 10 days now or is the close contact one still 14 days?  Thanks for any help.

To me, Iain's smile says. "I'm getting away with something" and Jim's says, "I'm onto you."

 

I love the picture!

Great blog, keep it coming..safe travels. 

[Mcgeneseo]

It's been several months since I did the cruise with the obscene amount of OBC, but the person at the cash in window told me what to use for the pin and then how to change it. And she will explain how to get the OBC onto your account. I learned the hard way....but you can insert all your "tickets" when you're done and cash out one. We would put $30 or $40 from the OBC in the machine then cash out when we had made some money and then do it all over again. I was able to get my OBC, make some money and have fun. And I brought my husband over to the dark side, as he wasn't a gambler. Until he started playing with my money....

To be honest we have 4 pair at home and just got another 2 last night,  we've never tried them on.      The ones they delivered are marked Large/XLarge so suspect they are on the large size.  

I wish they would go back to the robes.  So far, we've given 3 sets away and have one waiting to find a home.

Game on!  20,000 steps a day (or 5 days) starting on my vacation! Currently do my classes, zumba and pilates reformer 5-6 days a week. Now with spring 2-3 doggie walks each day. But need to walk

alone to get to 20,000. 😉

Thanks. We aren’t big pj people but thought it might be convenient. Reading your posts I think we should move to Europe bc we eat at 6 every night.

watching you dock in Bermuda.... a little breezy and cool..
