The flying Scotsman just came on and said cabins were ready. 😬 Not sure about that. 

Hope this isn’t indicative of the rest of the cruise. I love the new big ships but the understaffing, the long lines at every venue really made us go back to the smaller ones. I really wish they would build new smaller ships. Looking forward to your review Megan, always happy to see you and Mr. Megan cruise!

Made it down to the cabin. It’s ready now. Did not see Stewart. Got our suitcases put up and under. Grabbed back up battery, and we are headed out.

Today’s fun times

And to Latitudes. Had to have a sakoura. Nataliya is bartending. She was with us on Mardi Gras at Fortune Teller bar. She’s fantastic.

Went to the bathroom and the whole handle came off. And there’s no handle on the inside. Guess I’ll use another stall. 😬

 the vendors bring a new meaning to the word persistent. 

Certainly not as bad as Jamaica.  Want your hair braided lady?

The bed looks so odd without a skirt. Is that a thing of the past now?

[MeganGC1983]

I’m not sure. Glad you said that. I thought it was odd.

That does look odd, sort of like moving day.

Great pictures @MeganGC1983

I think these two cared more than Franco and Ashley. And they weren’t having natty lights. 😝

Were they wearing pineapple shirts?

[MeganGC1983]

Here’s my gripe about the bigger ships. There’s so many people, it’s hard to make a bartender connection. That’s why “my guys” stay on smaller ships. Arias would love to be here only because they keep sending him to Australia. Anything but Australia. 😆 He thinks he’s heading out on the Freedom from Barcelona next.

This was a convo from The Tribe thread. Ashley and Franco were @blarko’s neighbors on her last cruise. They decorated their door looking for options but didn’t care enough to turn their pineapple upside down. We decided they were lazy lovers based on their door decor. 😆

Chris, the flying Scotsman is saying gooooo to Mustard ppl!!

[MeganGC1983]

I feel like we’ve been on the ship a long time. Current view…

[MeganGC1983]

Now Captain Stephan saying “GO to mustard” but with an Italian accent. So it’s serious. 

[MeganGC1983]

Now Chris for the safety briefing. BAR IS CLOSED. Insert horns.

We got cold fries☹️

When you get a fresh batch right from the oil, they are better than the fries at Guy's.

If you happen to be taking pictures when you are off the ship and it is docked in the correct position, could I ask you to please get pictures of the cove balconies on the port side?  I have heard so much about them, and have our first one booked for the October 1 sailing. But if you don’t remember, I won’t be heartbroken!  Your review is just perfect timing for me. I will go back to Jamman’s review also before our turn to cruise. 

We had one a few months ago and loved it! It was very quiet (except for when our neighbors were on their balcony - they had a very, VERY good time out there!!)

And headed down to mustard. It was fast. Faster than it took to upload these photos. 

Was it spicy brown, honey, stone ground or Dijon?

[MeganGC1983]

Tried to be smart and ran to the Watering Hole for a sail away cocktail… they are 4 people deep the whole way around. RF is the same. I’m about to find a bar waiter and make his day.

Posted up by a palm tree for sail away. This guy was getting it.
