That mascot is kind of cringy and I won't even mention why.   lol

Ran to make sure everyone was good to go to Camp Ocean. It starts at 7pm tonight. The kids are ready to go. I’ll post the schedule when I switch over to wifi. 
Now we are back at WaterWorks and pizza pirate smells so good. Mr. Megan is napping. Sail away happening soon.

I love the Ecstasy, I've been on newer and bigger ships but for me personally I'd just as soon be on the Ecstasy as any of them. It's sad she will be gone in just a few months but such is progress. These ships aren't museums and time marches on.

I feel like everyone sailing is a blue card. Safety briefing under way.

Tried to sneak in some Pizza Pirate before sail away. Doubt it’s gonna happen. This line has t moved in 10 minutes. 
Also, here’s the buffet menu

Alex is the cruise director this sailing. He’s leading sail away in a freeze Macarena. 

[MeganGC1983]

Alex invited us to the Welcome Aboard show. My middle child is very concerned that they won’t make it because they have Camp Ocean plans.

Wondering what the over/under is for :

-hearing Sweet Home Alabama

-someone/anyone yelling ROLL TIDE

 

Outlook hella good.

We sailed away and it started pouring. We headed to the room to get ready for dinner. The string duo was warming up in the atrium. 

[MeganGC1983]

Reserved a table and it was ready in 30 seconds. Anytime dining is in the Wind Star Dining room, 8  forward. We passed the piano bar on the way.

I love that "CAT CAT CLUB" neon sign on Ecstasy.

[MeganGC1983]

Tonight’s menus and they have a list of things the kids can eat. The actual menu isn’t anywhere. Mac and cheese, cheese pizza, chicken nuggets, hamburger or anything off the adult menu. Only differing desserts are vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, butter pecan ice creams or the fan favorite, banana split. 

[MeganGC1983]

Calamari is very good tonight. The kids love the strawberry bisque. But the tomato soup had zero flavor, very watery tasting and sad. 😞
