Decks 10 and 11 have been closed off. Winds outside are 52mph but you can't feel it.

Wow! That's strong enough to blow you overboard!

I was surprised it's the high. The ship is barely rocking and I did my walking on deck 3 with no problem. I would prefer the walking track on 11.

Thought tonight was going to be my night to win a drawing. Sixteen prizes to give out. We were all given two playing cards. They had to have drawn about half the deck before all prizes were given out. With a card each one of us should have won but no such luck.

I'm not really tired but I'm going to try to get some sleep so we can get going in amber cove before it gets too hot in the morning. 

 

The internet is blazing now. I really hope it is still working this good tomorrow. 

[jam19872016]

Good morning everyone.

 

Very restless nights sleep. The pillows are just too flat to be of any use. 

 

On the plus side, I just did a speed test and internet is at 17mbps which I didn't even know ship internet could achieve that speed.

 

Getting ready and then heading into amber cove.

Have a great day in Amber Cove! 🙂

Thank you.

Amber cove is perfect for my mom. She loves going out and doing some shopping and then heading back to the ship. That was exactly what Amber cove was built for.

 

She made her way through the shops and we even found a chocolate store we haven't seen before. Not sure if it is new or we just haven't noticed it. They have out samples which were very good and we bought a few.

 

It was warm out and I was tired so I didn't feel inspired to take many photos but I got a couple.

 

 

 

 

Price check.

Back on the ship I went to trivia at noon and finally won a medal. A Sos would be nice but the medal is nice too. It was a whale tail on a 50th anniversary necklace. Very nice.

 

Lunch was nice. I went to the deli for a chicken salad sandwich. I asked for it on a wrap and she couldn't so it. She said they were low on wraps. I got it on the regular bread instead.

 

 

It was tasty and a good addition to the menu. It's a lot of bread and I think I will try to get the wrap again on a different ship.

OK, both chicken salad sammiches you have posted pics of look delish, so they are definatly on my list to try next month! Altho it has been a while since I had my beloved tomato and mozzarella...hmmmm, I probably need to start a diet NOW to make up for all the drinks and delicious food I am going to consume that week! After all, I have 2.5 years worth of enjoyment to make up for! 😁

I've already decided I will not be watching my calories when I do my b2b on celebration in December 😅

[jam19872016]

They are having happy hour in the red frog at 2:30. First time I've seen that this cruise.

I'm considering it but don't worry....two of the most prolific live reviewers will also be on that cruise. It will be very well covered 😆🤣. 

[jam19872016]

Off to dinner. Internet still hanging in there. I wonder if it is really fixed this time.

Just chime in on theirs. 😉 I'd say do a mega-thread, but I'd never be able to keep up.

I could never keep up trying to post in their thread lol.

Dinner was very good again tonight. I enjoyed everything I ate and service was quick. It was also less hectic tonight now that we've gotten past the first night and lobster night.

 

BBQ pork slider.

 

 

 

Grilled tilapia.

 

 

 

 

 

Weiner Schnitzel.

 

 

Chocolate Panna Cotta.

 

 

[jam19872016]

I'm so sleepy. Stayed up for the 11 pm drawing. On my way now to try and get my name drawn to Dodge The Bull.

[jam19872016]

The internet worked well for a whole 24 hours before it started going slow again. It's sad that is noteworthy.

 

No luck in the casino.

 

Going to bed now. Puerto Rico in the morning.

[jam19872016]

Good morning.

 

I slept much better. I guess the trick is ro be exhausted.

 

Getting a late start but we just arrived in San Juan at 10. 

 

Off to explore.

[jam19872016]

San Juan continues to be what I have to imagine is the hottest place on earth 🔥. 

 

We did some walking checking out the goods for sale. I made a pitstop In CVS for a diet coke to cool me down.

 

I like PR because it has some character instead of just a tourist trap beach spot. My mom was less impressed simply because she couldn't find any good deals on cheap souvenirs lol.

 

We're back onboard now and hopefully lunch is in my near future because I'm getting hungry.

Hahaha I think Belize is the hottest place on Earth....every time I am there I'm like "get me in some water NOW before I burn to death!"

 

I love PR....the old city is so cool to explore. Mom likes it there too, I think it was her favorite port on our Horizon cruise a few years ago.

Agree its great to explore. And I forgot about Belize it is a very close second on the unbearable heat scale lol.

Time for game shows trivia. I was a huge game show geek as a kid I might have  chance unless they consider reality shows as games shows. 

 

They are not.
