Apparently we are $550 away from Chris, the flying Scotsman shaving his chest?! I guess he’s gotta be clean when he goes home tomorrow. 🤷🏼‍♀️😆

Ohhh Groove shirts use to be $10. That’s a $12 and no wrist band. Still a good cause.

So at the casino bar, I met a “couple”. They met on embarkation. He’s all ready planning to move from Port St. Lucie to NY to be with her. Fun time. 

Reminds me about a story on a past cruise about a man named Sid....😄

Thing I noticed more on this cruise… definitely more people with Bluetooth speakers, walking around, sitting, playing whatever music loud and singing. 

I hate that!

Megan - Will we be happy with our Havana accommodations in January??

Nowhere near as nice as the 3 Vista Class ships.  The Havana area on the Excel Class was an afterthought.  The Vista Class had a great aft view, a pool, 2 hot tubs and two tiki huts.  The Excel gives you a starboard view with a postage stamp sized pool that is smaller than the hot tubs on the Vista ships.

The bean counters were more concerned with generating revenue with Loft 19.

That was fun!

That's unfortunate.  Live and learn

Done. Played last night and won! 

Our strategy is to accumulate the chips, after our B2B, we'll have 4 plus 2 from our last cruise.  DH will put 3 chips or 75.00 on both red and black.  If it comes up green, we lose it all.  If it comes up black or red we win 75 and then pocket the winnings and do it again, placing 1 chip on black and red.  If green doesn't come up, we pocket the winning chip and then do it again with our two remaining chips.  As long as black or red come up three consecutive times, we will win 125.00.

Don't forget to head to the Watering Hole for a Watermelon Crush. 😎

And a Chambord with the fresh lemonade 🍋.

But I love the pork tartlets. Get Emeril on the phone. If we can get Flaming Tomato Soup back…

Alas, I don't think it'll be anything like shrimp gate was back in the day.

He's going to start his new gig as a Chippendale.

[MeganGC1983]

The last sea day you can always catch me absorbing sun and heat. I’ve got to store that vitamin C & D for those winter months…. I’m pretty sure I’m part bear. I could hibernate all winter and be good. It’s the WORST to me… I rather get into a wish dot com Havana bar fight and get drive by fruited. 
The line dancers though.

That’s way too much strategy for me. I put it in a slot machine and literally press my luck. 

[MeganGC1983]

One of the line dancers just slipped and fell in his water shoes. Who says cruising is a no contact sport?! 
also, I’m eligible for the cruising Heisman this year. Make sure to cast your ballots. 
😁😆

Indeed

[MeganGC1983]

These line dancers won’t be deterred by ice carving set up. 

[MeganGC1983]

The Banana boys are here. Feels like they might have a post-ice carving shuffle with the pineapples. 

[MeganGC1983]

Anyone order ice?! Seems excessive.
