I think Daryl would do a fine job of watching over your day bed.  He'd make a good watch dog...watch llama?  What exactly is Darly anyway, other than a photo hog?

Yes, Daryl is supposed to be a llama.  He was disappointed there were not any of his kind at the carousel.  He had to be satisfied with a horse.

It is so nice when luggage gets to the cabin early and you can get unpacked.

My thoughts exactly. 

[h20skibum]

We got out of the dining room in only a little over an hour. So, of course, that left some time to make a donation to the casino.  We tried our best to channel the luck of @Lionesss but we failed horribly, and I am now the proud owner of a $0.39 voucher. 

 

Daryl, on the other hand,,,,,

We had reservations for Hairspray, but we had a little time before the show, so we played visual trivia of holiday movies. 

 

 

We did pretty poorly, but I did guess this one. 
 

 

A Miami Vice was nice. 
 

 

[h20skibum]

Hairspray was kind of “eh” for us.  It ain’t no Mama Mia. 
 

A couple photos from the show. 

 

 

 

 

[h20skibum]

Bad caretakers that we are, we left Daryl in the cabin, because he didn’t want to see the show.  
 

Got back, and he was lounging in my robe.

I’ve been looking for Daryl. I’ll let you know when I spot him. 

[h20skibum]

No sunrise at sea photos this morning.  This is the best I could do.

Looks like everyone including Daryl is enjoying themselves so far.  Did you get a passenger count at top tier?  Are you at full capacity?  Cheers 🍻 Mark

[h20skibum]

Spent the morning on the track, doing 4 minute miles. 

 

At least that’s what Apple Watch tells me. 
 

 

And the tracking looks almost like a straight line, although it tells me my pace was 4 minutes 33 seconds. 
 

 

At least steps get counted correctly.

Dennis, the cruise director said it is a full ship with 6,500.  I think he may have rounded the numbers.

Makes sense.  Marine Traffic says you're doing about 16 knots, or roughly 18 mph.  If you're walking at 4 mph headed toward the bow, your watch thinks you're doing 22 mph.  When you turn and start walking aft, your watch thinks that you've slowed to 12 mph.  Sir Roger Bannister would be proud!

There aren’t.  Probably why the Diamonds can go to the lounge at happy hour.  That said, there wasn’t a seat to be had when we stopped in at 5 last night. 

[h20skibum]

This was a sad sign this morning. 

 

They did open up after we got past a little storm.  
 

Now, I can’t see anything but skin in the Solarium hot tubs. They are packed.  

 

[h20skibum]

I think this is the first cruise that has had a packed gym.  Every machine was in use this morning.  I was in for a good workout after the track miles. 
 

This is the first time I have brought one of these along. 

 

It says yesterday’s food and drink bumped me up by 1.4 pounds.  I can’t keep up that pace. 

 

[h20skibum]

Here is something for @harryfat1  

 

Our speed and position this morning.

Daryl may need a Spa day soon.   😘

It was nice to see that our OBC posted right away. In the past, it would take a couple days to show up on the account. 

 

WOW, this is great, I love this.

I HATE it when they close the outside decks. I thought Symphony has an enclosed solarium.🤔

There are enough open ares in the roof that it soaked everything.  They were even drying out the bar before it could open. 

[wolfcathorse]

Could you please ask the concierge (or Guest Services) who the captain is and when did he sign on? I have a new spreadsheet I'm trying out for the Current Captains board I keep up.
