Let’s talk bathrooms. They got a weird situation going on at the bathrooms in here. I don’t know if it was this way on Mardi Gras or if I just never used the bathroom in the p&a on Mardi Gras. But this is the situation.

 

I see what looks like gender neutral bathrooms. Great whatever. All the rooftop bars in new York have them. That rooftop bar last night had them. Whatever. I saw someone go in each one. Fine l’m waiting. 
 

 

 

After a few minutes a man and woman come out of one. I think…alrighty then…and proceed in. I find that these are not two gender neutral bathrooms. These are two outer entrances to the bathroom area. Both doors take you to the same place which are entrances to men’s, women’s, and accessible restrooms.

 

 

 

 

yes i had fun seeing the look on women's faces whenever i came out the main door as they were going in lol

Heck. Are they going to let me stay here since this game could go to 7pm.

This is what’s happening around me.

 

 

They are even placing items on the table I’m sitting at. I feel like I shouldn’t be here.

 

 

yes they change over to dining and everyone has to clear out and then you line up to be seated if your having dinner there

@BlerkOne did they have inaugural books? I have Panorama and Mardi Gras and assumed I’d be able to get Celebration and Jubilee as well. But I haven’t seen or heard about them.

 

They are mailing them to us as they didnt have thier supply in when we sailed.

One other thing about the Celebration restrooms I found odd..not a single one that I went into had a wastebasket.

I signed up for the brewery tour. I guess this is as good a time as any since I have a lot of OBC.

 

We did the brewery tour on Horizon in August and you get pitchers of each beer at each table, plus a souvenir glass and certificate of completion.  It was worth it....plus you get a discount if you have Cheers.

Delayed. They are supposed to mail one per cabin (allegedly) within two weeks of our cruise. Pierre the hotel director sent a letter to everyone. I would have thought they would be on your cruise. Ask Guest Services what's their excuse now?

Delivered this morning

Were they maybe outside the door, and you missed seeing them?

Loving your review!  Will be on Celebration in July and we can't wait!  Where did they have the praline and mango ice cream?

I am on my third one over many years. The blue light no longer works, but I am just using it as is.

Those small cans outside are there for dropping the small squares of paper inside the bathroom door that are used to cover the door handle as you exit. It's called a door tissue dispenser and looks similar to this and the used door tissues go in the can outside as you exit.

Not good when they’re selling this as their sports bar.

They don’t have paper towels or the things to open the door since the doors are automated.

Gelato stand in back of lido between sea dogs and shwarma. They rotate flavor so it won’t be there every day.

Do you know if they are selling the Beer Taps, I've picked up a few on previous cruises, looking to add to the collection.

 

I haven’t seen any for sale but I’ll keep an eye out.

9:28 Pedro informs us we will have 41 people on the bus. Right now we have 28. He must have found the others quickly because we left at 9:30 and the bus was packed.
 

[Saint Greg]

I got stuck with a hump seat and the guy in front me was a recliner so I was packed in.
 

 

[Saint Greg]

They gave us stickers so they could identify the group members. There are a total of 180 people doing this tour in four different groups.

 

[Saint Greg]

On the way Pedro mostly talked about languages comparing English, Spanish, and Mayan words.

Tourism is the number one industry here. They have no factories or farms. They can’t grow plants because of the humid weather and the fact that the island is made of limestone.

Everything comes from the mainland even electricity comes through a cable in the ocean.

 

We arrived at 10am. We were told we could leave our belongings on bus and they requested we keep the same seats on the return trip (yah!)

 

The first thing they want you to do is take a welcome photo. Then we were given 10 minutes to use bathroom and get drinks.
