Just know that the show days and times could be different.  Ours are different from the last 8 day one on this itinerary. 

 

Yes, indeed, thanks. I'm keeping track! Is it obvious I'm an obsessive planner? 😂

[h20skibum]

This morning started out like every day, with a worout on the track, then to the gym for sit-ups and weights. 

 

it appears I beat my previous day record.  When at sea, they just call me Usain. 🤣🤣

And yes, I did the hour and half workout and had a shower before I took the map photo.

No, today is a sea day.   We have Aruba tomorrow, and we get Labadee on the way back. 
 

Beautiful sunshine today, and everyone is out enjoying it.  10:37, and still lots of open loungers in the solarium.  Must be due to the number of kids onboard.

Day drinking has started. Can’t believe it is day 3, and this is my first kraken colada

Looks like Daryl is enjoying his sea day a lot....since he hasn't been back here to check up on his fans!😁....in one whole hour! 🤣

I also think we are going to need a Friends of Daryl thread by the time this cruise ends.😄
And I suspect that this cruising llama has a lot more cruises written up in his future.

They are not dating or something, right? Wedding at sea......not just yet, we are not willing to let him get hooked just yet.

Kids found a “duck”. This is a good find.

stowaway piano is very good

She also twists balloons. She stood in line for ballon animals and asked for an untwisted balloon.

I was thinking of making a sign for Daryl that says “I am not a duck!”

Loved it!!

We really enjoy hiding tiny ducks and frogs on our 

 cruise, and of course finding them.

Last cruise we found the tiniest ducks, the size of a 

a small pencil eraser by the elevators.

Mark,

 

As they say in the Caribbean - “YOU DE MON” in setting more track and field records daily. 

 

Maybe the Captain will acknowledge your accomplishments at the next daily noon time briefing from the bridge as RCI is honored to have a world-class athlete in you sailing with them.

 

Looks like you guys are doing the steady 18 knots daily southbound.  I think the Odyssey will probably be traveling at a similar speed as well as we are all scheduled to be docking at 8 AM on day 4 (be it Aruba or Curacao) so no need to speed up.

 

The difference in the speed might be in the northbound sailing as the Odyssey is leaving Aruba at 10 but getting to Labadee earlier.  Maybe it has to do with Aruba being more west and closer to Labadee compared to Curacao and that accounts for the 4-hour difference in departure time and 1-hour difference in arrival time.

Wow!  That'll make a great tree ornament, and one that will always remind you of this cruise!

[Dan83]

I told my wife that we shouldn’t do the usual balcony clothesline since we had a Central Park balcony this time. She immediately pointed out that everyone else is doing it. I don’t have a counterpoint, so I guess it’s happening.

My previous three cruises in the last year or so were Allure, Harmony and just a couple weeks ago Symphony. The Solarium was not crowded pretty much at any time of day. Nice picture!

[perfect match]

I’m definitely enjoying this review, and Daryl! 🦙😀. Thank you. ☺️

Yesterday, we walked by the beach pool in the morning, and this was the scene. 

 

Then, a couple hours later, they had kicked everyone out, roped off the area, and started draining the pool. 
 

 

Hmm, just wondering if there was an incident?

 

 

 

[h20skibum]

Yesterday, we ventured to Windjammer for breakfast. 

 

After gaining a pound on the first cruise day, I weighed in and found I actually lost a pound since boarding, so time to remedy that. 

 

 

I think the flow in Jammer is better than the earlier O Class ships.  

 

Got there around 9am, and it wasn’t crowded, and plenty of empty tables. 
 

They did have a nice gingerbread house display outside, near the entrance. 
 

[h20skibum]

Daryl, quick, look at the sunrise.   We are almost to Aruba. 
 

 

Daryl says he is glad he is not home. 
 

 

And if the elf would get out of the fridge, it might not be as cold.

I love this time of the year with all the

decorations.  

 

Have a fantastic day in Aruba!!

Pink Bunny has a little bit of a crush on Daryl.
