I ordered a Lemon Drop in the steakhouse there and got vodka with a chunk of lemon

we had decent drink luck at the steakhouse (and everywhere else), but she swore her lemon drop

In the MDR was 90% pure lemon. There was a lot of puckering going on.

If this holds, looks like we’ll have Frankie again on the Pride next summer

Dr. Frankenstein’s Lab. At this point, I’m resigned to the fact we will never hang out here. 🤷🏻‍♂️

a little pre dinner Remedy in the Alchemy zone

This was like a “lemon dill chicken comfort” soup

 

 

B got the Steak Ale Cheese soup. She won. 
 

[TxTeach79]

One last bottle before we say goodbye 

 

[TxTeach79]

Chicken tenders. Really. That’s what they’re called. 
 

 

I went with the etouffee. No, I’ve never seen etouffee look like that either.

Cobb salad 

 

 

I went jerk pork. It was fantastic!

 

 

B went short rib and dug it

I found out yesterday that Frankie is scheduled to be on the Pride for my 10/30/22 TA and was wondering about him since I haven’t heard anything. I don’t interact with any CD much but still enjoy hearing about them. Any thoughts?

he was fine. I don’t have anything negative to say really. Wasn’t very intrusive with the announcements, was visible around the ship. Not the best I’ve had, but far from the worst.

Sounds perfect for us😀

[TxTeach79]

I hate this part.

So the captain, during his noon announcement, made the comment that tonight would be particularly rough. We’d encounter large swells, and to be aware of thresholds and use handrails. It spooked B a little bit, and you’ll see evidence of it at tonight’s show, but for the most part the Miracle handled it well. I think the worst of it came round 3-4am, as I do recall waking up to wind whistling loudly through the balcony and some creaking and rolling - but honestly I love that and went right back to sleep like a giant baby. In the meantime, if you look at the horizon, it’s definitely moving…

The computer terminal area just outside the casino aft of Skybox

It’s 80’s night! This would be a “rough seas so we’re gonna sit on stools” singalong instead of the full show 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Frankie was in the spirit. I wish 80’s night wouldn’t have been on the last night! There were all sorts of cool activities and stuff around the ship, but that last night energy had set in and we needed to pack/rest/etc.

[TxTeach79]

One more late night chance to be a gluttonous oaf before going back to the real world. (they had the jerk pork and steak ale cheese soup in the buffet!)

This flight…. Is late. You can’t even check bags until four hours out, and I really don’t like the idea of spending all day in an airport…
