We have a pair of deck 6 hump balconies

Starboard side

 

 

Some cabin descriptions

 

Checked in weeks ago, and got 11:30 arrival.

May show up closer to 11:00. Pinnacle perk gets us on an hour early 👍

 

John what a riot.  Jill and I did this same itinerary in September and we went with 6326 (Perfect location) for our room. Easy to find coming up from guest relations to find the statue on the staircase. Great minds think alike I guess.  No royalup success this time around.  No luck in the casino but saw several payouts of over 10,000.00

The bank of machines in the center that are all the same paid out all week.  Also saw a 10,300.00 pay out on a minimum bet on the single machine with the red, gold, and silver balls that pop up.  Say hi to the wife and have a blast.  We were sandwiched right between two hurricanes.  Going over was pretty rough but felt ZERO on the way back.  Did a day pass at Pompano Beach club for our full day in Bermuda and HIGHLY recommend it.  Make some money in the Casino will ya!?!?  Dan

Hey John, not sure if anyone mentioned it but your full name is on your COVID test photo!

It’s also on his concierge letter. It hasn’t seemed to concern John much in the past but I know I would not want mine posted. Everyone is different. 🤷‍♂️

I don't think Mr. Durland cares at this point, he is way beyond worrying about that issue at this point.

 

When you become Pinnacle you can  leave your last name. It's part of the perks you get.

Starting to really get worn and creased

 

Might need to laminate it next time and bring a hole punch.  Hang it around your neck from a lanyard.

Laura thinks I'm missing a few checkmarks, or god forbid, repeating

 

Looks like you have an asterisk next to a few things.  Are those repeats?

John is both different and special. 😉

Lots of us know John's last name but I wouldn't post it on purpose in here.  I doubt he really cares but just MHO.

Y'all, John already included his last name in his CC signature - on both his Insta link and his email address. 🙂

I believe that I made a prediction earlier about these checkmarks.

He posts his full name on these boards all the time.

You gotta go where everyone knows your name - Cheers!

I honestly thought it was gone 

 

Surprised to see it here tonight

[John&LaLa]

So now it's tomorrow. Where is the time going🤔

 

Last nights dinner. BTW, pretty sure the MDR is the Sound of Music theme.

 

Kenny and the Von Trapps

 

We wanted to hit the 8pm show, so we rushed thru dinner.

 

Calamari was a little crispy, but I liked it

 

Coq au Vin. 

 

And a Whisky Sour in a tall glass

 

 

[John&LaLa]

Royal Theater. Always fun to see the different curtains

 

The headliner was The Alley Catz. Doo wop group. Theater was packed. A good show both singing and corny jokes

 

Laura helped the singer on the left in WJ.

He asked us to come to the show

 

And off we went to the Promenade for 70's night. Crowded, but fun.

 

Grabbed a Black and Gold at Playmaker's.  A little late on the picture. It was very good. Gonna have to trust me

 

Next up Schooner to escape the crowds

 

[John&LaLa]

Hanging out in Schooner

 

Miriam with the wig

 

Duck face Laura

 

Espresso martini makes a good dessert

3 beans for luck. It's an Italian thing

 

More Miriam

 

And the Curacao Cosmo. Really not sure why its a Cosmo. Suoer sweet

 

Finished with a Woo Woo. Made as a cocktail instead of shooter. At this point I'm out of vouchers, but they cut me some slack

 

@irishgal432 let us know she was doing duet with piano guy. Paradise by the Dashboard Light. She was awesome

 

I did ask if I could post these. Hopefully she remembers

 

Lyrics were tiny

 

And that's the end of Monday.

Yep, but I rarely type it out 

[h20skibum]

Seven pages in, and I don’t know how I missed the start of this.  Oh well, I am adding one more LIVE that I can’t keep up with.

 

 I like the drink list.  It is great to have a goal.

The Avon Trapps are on the ship?  Had I known I would have found them for a photo a few weeks ago. I’m guessing it is artwork. 

[Ocean Boy]

That wig has been on way too many heads for me liking.

 

 

[Lady Hudson]

Great job, as usual, John.  Looks like lots of fun.  How was the “Cheers with an Officer”?  I am always amazed at the different menus per ship.  Katherine

They were on our Adventure sailing in May.  Some of the younger ones tried stand-up surfing, and the old one on the right did Boogie Board.  I wonder if they have improved?  The one next to the old one sang well.  Not that any were bad.  Not our kind of music we left half way thru, but they were good.
