Live … Ovation of the Seas …Alaska … May 13 - May 20, 2022

[Ozark_Kid]

We went almost 2 whole hours eating something!  I need to watch it!  We went to the Windjammer and I filled the plate with a combo we all usually eat for lunch.  Salmon,  Jimmy Beam BNQ, beef curry, etc.  Great view.

If you have reservations in the MDR can you bypass the line and just straight to the maî·tre stand?

I believe all that where in line had late time reservations.   I did see a few that were set to the side but not sure why.  I thought, but not sure, Mytime was on Deck 3.  I think they had it closed to all until they opened it up a few minutes before reservation time.  The line was long but moved quickly.   I am guessing it will be even quicker tonight.

@Ozark_KidI found a duck last week too. I kept forgetting to look, and just by chance, found one by a cabin door, as I was doing deck laps. Mine didn’t have a fancy necklace though 😢

I found one last week on the Carnival Pride TA.  Gave it to my MDR waitress who was so sweet.

@Sea Dog Greg, I am glad that at least you saw the humor in my daughter thinking more of a baby.  BTW, she has been fighting a kidney stone again.  Earlier today she sent us a pic showing she passed it!  So thankful.

Thought it was hilarious. I'm so sorry she had to deal with a kidney stones. Those are the worst. Thank goodness she passed it. Mine had to be zapped by ultrasound. That stone gave me the worst pain I had ever felt.

I think this will be the first live Alaska thread that I have followed. Have a great week!

Can you post a picture of the bath shower/ soap?  Sister in Law is sailing soon, and wondered if it was the same as here on Allure. Thanks.

We are in an OVB this time. They call the soap 2 in 1.  Same soap for the hair and body.

I have lost count how many I have had.  Had to have a few removed but thankfully not blasted

I will try to remember.   Not sure if I will be able to find it.  Right now we are sitting out I  the cold watching whales pop up.

If you are into seeing ocean activity,  sitting inside the 1st part of the Solarium on the ocean side is the place to be.  Perfect view, not crowded and the temperature is perfect. We have been seeing whale blows, fish splashing out, etc.  It comes and goes.  Maybe I will be quick enough to catch some action. 

 

The pools and hot tubs are filling up. 

I sure hope you get pictures of the whales and other sea life.  You always take and share such great pictures.  Enjoy!!!!

We have been seeing whale 🐋 spouts and other movement but I have been to slow so far.  We are back at our Solarium spot but haven't seen any more movement.   Tomorrow we will go on a whale watching excursion.   I am hoping they bring us close to some.  Should ha e an opportunity to take some pics to share.

This was our location as we were leaving the room.

You might remember when I tried to take a pic holding a Miami Vice in a hot tub.  Much easier while settling into a lounge chair.

With 5.5 maps upload on cellular right now, here is a couple pics.

It would be nice to have a house on the hill.

 

Pick of the OVB.

 

And for my friends that like pics with their feet in it.

Long pants on a cruise. I don't think we are in the Caribbean any more Toto.

Earlier we walked pass the pool.  Guess what they were watching.   Warm audience.   😆 

 

 

 

I watched that movie on the pool deck of Freedom.🙂

[Ozark_Kid]

I am guessing you were not dressed as warm.

[Ozark_Kid]

Random picks.  Formal night.

When Sharon found the duck I remembered the pics of ducks you posted awhile back. Was it you that mentioned the deck out from the Windjammer? Great spot.  It,s blocking the wind and its sunny.  So nice. We walked out here after eating inside.

Yes, that was me.   This is a great area.   There should be a staircase to go up too.   Nice easy way out of WJ if weather permits.

Weather looks nice😃
