Live from Indy with UDP - 6/17/22 - 6/20/22 🍔🍺

[Sea Dog]

With regards to the question of being able to eat at multiple restaurants on a single night, I talked with Matt on the blog not to be named and he said that yes you can indeed eat at more than one restaurant in an evening for example dinner at one and dessert at another. He has experienced it. Now whether or not that is true on one ship to another remains to be seen. Just thought I would relay what I heard.

That reminds me - time to order another pack of $2's from the bank (that way they're almost always crisp/new). Those are ideal for our drink orders. 🙂

Nice thought....though you may want to ask some of your servers about the 2.00 bills.  I have heard they are not fond of them, tougher to redeem for some reason.   Just sayin'

I'm sure that the golf cart would be better appreciated in Georgia.  I live in more of a Florida-Georgia neutral zone, but John is deeper into Florida and not far from Gainesville.  😱

 

LOL....I think fancy golf carts are appreciated everywhere...but not in the snow up north I suppose .  😉 

We also have a fancy one, and don't even play golf.  😄   Wonderful for getting around our community.  I love...love ours!

I've heard that before - but I'm not sure what they'd be redeeming them for. Since it is US tender, I can't see places refusing to accept them. I enjoy the novelty of it - and have had a few people comment after receiving them (with a big smile) how "lucky" those bills are.

 

Now, one thing I never considered was to give dollar coins (though I love the old Ike dollars)  🙂

As soon as our Walgreens negative test e-mails arrived before the Harmony cruise, I went straight to the bank for small bills. I didn't want to jinx it until we tested negative. 🤣

 

LOL....same here.   The Walgreens we use for drive up test is right across the street from our bank...test first...bills next.  😉

Thanks for taking us along, John.  I did detect a note of lonliness and although it seems you had a relaxing cruise with delicious food and drink, I bet you're glad to be with family where you belong.

absolutely loved this review, thank you so much for sharing! I'm doing this cruise / itinerary in July with my bf and step daughter - can't wait now, so excited!

Matt has NO affiliation with Royal Caribbean. It is an unnoticeable blog.
 
 If you scroll down far enough on his site, you will see that information.   Sort of hidden, but there. 
 

His experience is just that,   “His experience” and may be different from others.

Yes I am very aware of that and I'm not implying his word is gospel. I was adding one person's experience. I would welcome others with experience to comment.

Matt has never claimed to be affiliated with RCI. He is just a nice guy with a blog who travels a lot with RCI.  He is like many other bloggers/vloggers out there, just more successful than some. Like CC. 🙂

Sort of like when Celebrity was trying to say that all reservations were basically AI - even though there were totally booking people without the perks!

Hmmmm interesting. I thought it was becoming common practice to close out one tab as you got to the limit and open a new one. Did you ever come close to the limit?
