I bet after three Diamond lunches you are fine with an intimate gathering but if this was my one and only cruise I'd be disappointed that there was no lunch.

 

If one is Diamond how would it be the one and only cruise?

[jam19872016]

Grabbed some BBQ.

I meant that if I wasn't on a B2B2B2B but a regular one and done cruise and I boarded this cruise and found out the Diamond lunch wasn't happening, I'd be disappointed that's all.

And then I watch "Below Deck" and see passengers act like idiots and they have paid $100,000 for three days on a luxury yacht.  I think people have lost their sense of respect for others overall since Covid. I think the ones at Mustique will have their share of idiots as well.  Ugh.

I think that is likely dramatized for entertainment purposes but I get your point.

 I cannot answer your question about the process, but I did hear the captain’s announcements on the Vista.  
 

We slept through the rescue of six people and found out about it when the captain made an announcement the next morning. We noticed a security guard sitting outside the cabin two doors down from us, and found out from our/their steward that there were three of the rescued people in that cabin and the other three were on the other side of the ship, on the same deck. The Captain later announced that the “other six” people had been rescued by the Coast Guard. When we left our cabin yesterday morning at 7:40 to debark, there were three people who appeared to be a staff member, a security guard, and a uniformed policeman standing at the cabin door.  It was well after self-assist had started, so apparently they were not taken off the ship before the passengers could leave. 

That makes sense. The timeline works as that was when the officer became stationed outside the room.

They are both nice in their own way. The small gathering you get a chance to mingle with the officers and the drink service is much much better.

BBQ was served inside at Ocean Plaza today due to the weather. It was a little off today. I thought the location was a smart idea utilizing the space no longer used in there.

 

[jam19872016]

M just hit a handpay.

 

[jam19872016]

Mango daiquiri. 

 

[jam19872016]

Pulled her out before she could give it all back for some bingo. 

 

[jam19872016]

Didn't win.

 

Listening to music in the lobby now. 

 

 

 

Budapest 🎶 

[jam19872016]

Lido is pretty full despite the ugly day out.

 

 

Looks like deck 12 has reopened as well.

[jam19872016]

Dropped off M at the casino until dinner. Don't really have time for a nap so gonna try to power through with my daily coffee fix.

 

[jam19872016]

I have to say, despite the grey sky it is absolutely lovely out. Nice gentle breeze, cool temperature, and just a slight swaying from the waves.

 

We are definitely lucky to have gotten out of Miami yesterday instead of today. 

[jam19872016]

It always amazes me how quickly the weather can change. Now we are sailing through a huge pocket of wind and rain. 

 

Getting ready for dinner then going to go pick M up.

[jam19872016]

Checked in at 549 with under 10 minute wait. 

[jam19872016]

Table ready at 614.

 

 

[jam19872016]

I'll have dinner pics later, no wifi where I was sitting. 

 

At 88 keys now.

 

 

Pianoman 🎶 

[jam19872016]

Piano man on the schedule but he's not here.

 

 

Didn't think he would be here since he's doing the show in the main theater. But it would be nice if they could keep the app updated.

[jam19872016]

He didn't show up. Moved to steak house bar for a couple drinks.

 

 

Now we are at punchliner

Next is trivia after dark. Gonna let M do this one alone so I don't accidentally win again.

Celebration just now heading out at 11. Long day for them folks I imagine.

[jam19872016]

Yikes, yes that is no bueno.

[jam19872016]

There is a reason why so many of the live reviewers are solo. It's hard to keep up when you are traveling with someone 😆.
