The straws AND spicy ketchup in the safe... Like a boss...

If you look closely enough the passport was in there as well. But I leave the wallet and cash on the desk.

I moved outside to the other side. Some would say port to starboard.

Looks like a beautiful evening.

I can’t remember seejng this contraption. Am I supposed to hop the fence? Or climb up where my beer is at?

That looks like a good Christmas tree right there

Good place to go Christmas tree shopping

Get out 

[Saint Greg]

I’m going to head up to the room. Start on my packing. Need to make sure I get in for the early stage show so I can have the late dinner.

Looks like you had great weather today. Interested to hear your take on NCL since this was your first with them. I've done most of my cruising with NCL, 2 Royal Caribbean, 1 Princess and 1 Celebrity. Did you end up buying any Cruise Next certificates?

Just to clarify the NFL situation, all of the games are shown on the ships, either in the bars (District Brew House, The Local/O'sheehans, depending on ship), sometimes on the big screen at the pool and in your stateroom. Thursday Night, 3 games on Sunday and one on Monday, On my Prima T/A last October, the games were on around 2am as we crossed the Atlantic. The Sunday day games are the ones that the network consider their main game of the week, with their national broadcasters, So if you are looking for certain regional games, you probably won't get them, 

And as far as the carpet fish, they removed them from the Jewel on it's last drydock but I believe the other Jewel class ships still have them, and possibly the Breakaway and Getaway (haven't been on either of those for a few years). The Prima has the new 'arrows' pointing forward on their carpet. 

Aha! I was on the Getaway too. That's where the fish were. It's good to know I'm not totally crazy...yet. 😉 
And thanks for clarifying the arrows. I knew I saw that somewhere. I still don't know why it's not on every ship. It really does help.

Everyone got the word today and made sure they got in before the early show.

The front row that is usually empty is full today. I snuck under this railing for a second row seat wirh nobody on Easter side of me.

And I’m wearing the “don’t sit next to me shirt.”

 

 

[Saint Greg]

And it’s just so they can do this crap in the aisle

People on NCL are unfazed by your attire. Freestyle is where it's at!

The end is near - thanks for bringing us along and sharing your awesome pictures.

Thoughts:

The carpet is strange - I do not see either pattern as pointing in one direction or another.

Odd and even numbers on both sides is just not right, lol.

The kids running, jumping , playing ball - whatever their activity - above me would have me saying something to someone.

 

Impatiently awaiting your final thoughts and pix.Safe travels!
