Ha, you are braver than I !!. We also went up the mountain to the Fort but thankfully our tour didn't give us time to ride the camels. (Or pet the snake 🐍 another vendor had).

I thought I passed John in his '70s gear last night at the '70s party. Not sure if it was him though

A couple of pictures from Morocco.

We went to Rabat which is the political capital of Morocco, a beautiful city.

Port info sheets

Thanks for posting the port sheets.  We'll be stopping at Barcelona, Valencia, Cartagena, and Malaga on the Odyssey TA in the fall.  Was recently at Cadiz, Malaga, Alicante, Valencia, and Barcelona on the Oasis TA.

We’ll be on that cruise with you and I also kept the ones for that cruise that was posted.

Tonight we celebrated my 1750 point level and John's 1400 point level. Complimentary dinner at Chops. 

 

John says Bee would like the Mac n cheese picture. The cocktail is lemon sorbet and 2 shots limoncello

You folks should try a Hotel Nacional at Boleros. It is a lemon tasting drink. I really looked forward to them when I was on Odyssey.

No Boleros on Serenade, but I'll see if someone knows it. Thanks

I've got my 24 hour diamond Internet so can post a few pics of last few days.  Just left lovely Vigo as we make our way in the fog through the Bay of Biscay towards Cork.

Random question but I am curious, is it noticeable that some cruisers have gained weight? I feel like that would happen to me. 

Speaking to some full world cruisers, they have not.  They don't eat bread and rarly have puddings. They also try to just eat two meals a day.  

I on the other hand,  after just 10 days, have definitely put weight on 😲

 

I think you would have a different mindset on a very long cruise than if it were just a short holiday

Sea conditions have rapidly deteriorated this afternoon. A little rock n Roll going on

Felt sorry for the pool attendants outside in the blustery cold. This was taken this morning.

The pools and upper decks were closed a few hours ago. It has definitely become more rocky this afternoon.

John says he's put on around 4 pounds recently. He was about even for most of trip

Something wrong with that persons boss for having the lifeguard stand out there looking over an empty pool. At least the lifeguard was provided an umbrella. 🙄
