Have you cruised out of Texas before? Texas has some kind of dumb alcohol rules while in port. Which is funny, considering my city has drive through margaritas and daiquiris. Though those drive thrus are nothing compared to the liquor barns in Mississippi.

I didn’t remember at first because I order Grey Goose which is on the list. 

[Denversail]

We kicked each other off devices all last week. It was very entertaining considering Dupable and Good Sport struggled to get back on. Since that entertainment factor is gone and I have two devices I did go to the Voom desk to find out how to do this properly. Mom, it is Voom not Boom like we kept telling you. 🤣🤣 It is pretty simple you just type logoff.com in your browser to logout. Easy peasy.

Order a Grey Goose Godmother!  Equal parts of Grey Goose Vodka and Disaronno Amaretto. Add a cherry and a teaspoon of the "actual" cherry juice.  Awesome, and it kicks!

Oh man I’m not sure what is wrong with the crew on this ship. I was smoking in the casino and a dealer just told a woman she couldn’t smoke in there until the casino opened. She complied and put her cigarette out and left. I laughed and told him he needs to lighten up. I moved away a little bit and just finished my smoke. I don’t really get what is going on. 
 

Anyhow… I just found a duck. Dupable is gonna be upset. She didn’t manage to find one the entire cruise and she was very upset about it. 🤣🤣🤣

[Denversail]

Dupable is pretty upset about that tiny little duck. I’m trying to convince Wolf that he should make it his mission to find as many ducks as he can this week and send her pictures.

I think some readers might not have a grasp on what Dupable is really about. Those ducks dominated the cruise. Good Sport didn’t know how to hide them right. The rest of us didn’t know the proper duck protocol. Remember if someone immediately found it we messed up. We weren’t allowed to hand them out. She actually stayed after hiding a few and questioned folks on what they’d be doing with the duck. It was really exhausting. She even went out multiple times to hide them only to come back saying it just wasn’t possible. She actually took some back home with her. That is my mamma folks. I hope this explains a few things.

Weird and annoying rules. I’ve never sailed from Houston.

Going to bed now. We had a fun day. I booked an overpriced spa treatment for the morning.

[Denversail]

I enjoyed my outrageously priced spa treatment. It was a nice way to start the day. I did not like how they started the appointment. At those prices I would expect a more comfortable wait. If you can’t accommodate everyone at the same time don’t book that many appointments.

 

I’m not going to lie I just don’t care for this ship. I’m still having a good time but I can already tell I will never step foot on Harmony again. I think this ship has the worst most uncomfortable pool deck in the fleet. Just my opinion. 
 

We have lunch at Chops in an hour. We will try and hit up a few Trivia’s after that. They are currently holding one in the Royal Promenade. No thank you.

Bummer on the ship.  What spa treatment did you get?  Hope you WIN trivia!!

I did a 50 minute facial and 50 minute massage. It was nice.

We did a B2B on Harmony and the ship never felt right to me.  We had been on Allure and Oasis and loved both of them.  Just don’t know what it was about Harmony.

[Denversail]

Dupable picked up Wolf’s dog last night. She immediately declared her a royal pain in the ass. She is doing well. Dupable also stopped by to spend some time this afternoon with my pup pup. Missing this guy.

In my opinion 150 has the best bread in the world.

We did a Star class on Allure for the first (and maybe last) time last fall, which obviously includes the Unlimited Dining package.

And OMG, that thing is so good! Might be one of the best things we ate all that week!

[perfect match]

I may have to book 150 at some point - for the bread! People keep talking about how great it is and I love great bread. The rest of the food sounds pretty good, too!

 

Your little dog is really cute!

Very interesting reading your thoughts about the Harmony. We cruised Harmony for the first time 3 weeks ago. The biggest downside/ difference we noticed is the crowds, as we are used to mostly Radiance class.

I normally love Oasis class ships. I’ve been on Symphony, Allure, and Oasis and loved them all. I’m just not a fan of this one. Even the activities on this one are off in my opinion. The only Royal class I dislike is the Freedom class. It is just an enlarged version of the Voyager class which I love. 
 

[Denversail]

I made some terrible choices last night. Seems I misbehave when Dupable isn’t around. I was actually kind of sober well let’s call it not drunk early in the evening. I told myself I was going to got to bed by 10. I think at exactly 10 I decided to start drinking instead. The details are a little foggy but I closed the casino last night. I woke up thinking I must have lost all my money I had on me until I remembered I didn’t leave willing which meant I probably have cash in my purse. Just like that it was like a morning win when I looked and found a bunch of dough. Yep folks it was a full on blackout. 
 

I do remember getting pizza last night to take to my room. I think I was two rooms away when that greasy slab of deliciousness just slid right off my plate onto the floor. This means I woke up hungover and starving. I don’t like the grab and go options so at about 8:45 I attempted to go to Johnny Rockets. I was rejected. You need to be seated before they close not just there. I let that roll off and headed to the dining room. I think the line was about 400 people deep. That was strike number three. 
 

Now I just wait until my next feeding at Jaimie’s @ 12:30. Just two hours to go. 

[Denversail]

I always see folks playing that push quarter thing in the casino. I figured out this morning where they get the quarters. I’m obsessed! So much fun. I even got Wolf to play for a while. With my money of course. Now at Jaimie’s for my feeding. Having a great morning so far. 

[Denversail]

They just called an Alpha Alpha Alpha to the pool deck. I hope the person is okay.

[Denversail]

I can report that a god awful smell has developed in the starboard hallway on deck 6 in the last hour. I’m hoping it is just temporary and not the start of something yucky. 

[Denversail]

We had another alpha alpha alpha in studio b a few hours ago. Hopefully just a sprained ankle.

[Denversail]

We had dinner last night in 150. That was our second dinner there this week. Both experiences were good. I was exhausted from the night before so I went straight to bed to catch up on sleep. I’m starting to bruise from the hard bed. Will need to talk to my room steward today to see if he can fix it. 
 

I tried to go into wind jammer this morning for my OJ but it wasn’t meant to be. They choke everyone into one entry point with 4 sinks. This causes a very long line just to get inside the wind jammer. The other food options don’t open until 7:30. This ship is full of bad choices.

 

I think we are about an hour out from docking in Roatan. We have no plans today. Wolf wants to get off for a little bit. I’ve been here multiple times but don’t remember the pier area for some reason. I think I’ve always done an excursion of some kind. We will see once we get there if we want to explore anything. It is cloudy and looks like it is going to rain soon.

Right! We experienced this also.  😞
