Rare Lionesss Posted September 10 Author #227 Share Posted September 10 Good morning. My first sunrise in years. Also a picture of the print of my night gown. Purchased from a sale at Walmart. Definitely good for cruising. Definitely won’t be out of cabin sporting this one. Why did I buy them??? Close out sale. If I opted to leave them behind, the $4.98 cost was nominal Ok. Grand Cayman today. Waiting on room service delivery. Be safe. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mapleleafforever Posted September 10 #232 Share Posted September 10 10 hours ago, Lionesss said: MDR for dinner. We were seated at a table for 2 by the window. Very happy with arrangement. The waiter and his assistant introduced themselves and asked if we had any requests or needs. Besides asking for calorie free food we requested no added salt. When we selected our dinner off the menu we gave the order to them. Including dessert. In less than 5 minutes we had our appetizers. If you ordered 2. They came back to back. Note; Shrimp cocktail not on menu every day. Portions were smaller than CK. Food was presented very hot not just the plates. Bread delicious as always. Dining hall was very clean. So clean a spider was on the ceiling, just hanging out. We were ok with everything but missed CK. We do not do specialty dining. We said we made arrangements when constantly being asked to buy a 3 day dining experience. For others who asked us about doing specialty dining—- We just said thanks for offering. And just let it go at that. I re do not know how they decide to use the empty tables in 5:15 seating. yesterday and today there were at least 1/3 off tables remained empty. I thought families with kids would want early seating. I betcha some would want a guaranteed time. Total time always less than 45 minutes. Be safe. We chose 5:15 seating for our Freedom cruise next April mostly because we'll be there with our 7 and 5 year old daughters who are still learning appropriate restaurant behaviour. They're getting there but on our last cruise we dined exclusively in the CK and we let them watch shows on their tablets at dinner so as to not be disruptive to other guests so this will be new. Enjoying following along, keep it up!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received a response email yesterday about our window table request and it shows us at table 176. We'll be sailing on Freedom the week after next. Glad to know you're happy with the location. We'll be sitting there in 12 more days 😁 Enjoying your review. We are doing the stingrays and beach as well. Hope you have a great time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don’t like taking pills if I do not need them. I take everything prescribed by my doctor. . But procrastination in full swing. Tomorrow is a Jamaica day. So can help them (in drought) by donating of fluids. Later. Let the steps begin. Ne safe. Edited September 10 by Lionesss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always remember WINE is always a great drink for all legal ages. But WHINE is a trait that follows retirement. Yes my mom was fixated on her blood sugar readings. (RIP).

Rare Lionesss Posted September 10 Author #241 Share Posted September 10 (edited) A short story presenting the Pros and Cons on ; RCI. Stingray— Star fish excursion. PROS 1. The vendors that transported us was EXCELLENT!!!!! 2. Safety was their major concern. 3. Provide water and punch 4. Interactive was great with stingrays 5. The transporting boat was new, clean and they keep the number of guest to minimum. CONS: RCI YOU FAILED in your planning. We were to meet in theatre by 8am to get our sticker for excursion seating area. So they knew who went where. That’s where it got interesting. We waited waited 8:00am came and went 8:15am………………… 8:30am……………….., 8:45am……………….,. 9:00am…. We went down the steps to tender. Our directions were to proceed to white tent. We did Unfortunately the tour was waiting for us at red tent. 9:10am went to red tent 9:15am waiting. 9:30am we went to bus. 9:40am arrived at marina got our tour boat. 10:15am. -12:15ish. Stingray /Starfish 12:38 pm. Back on board. So my point is RCI. Why oh why did we have to wait 1 hour to go to tender. Then direct us to wrong tent POOR TIME MANAGEMENT!!!!!! I will present this at shore excursion desk. NOW PICTURES. Spousette Spouse Edited September 10 by Lionesss 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoying following along, keep it up!! Picture of our table. But the numbering system can change cruise to cruise. When they rip down and terminally clean. If I were you I would request a table by window as soon as you can. If in a suite ask concierge. If not the minute you board before people get sea pass cards go to mdr deck 3 and make your request. Good luck. . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue, I’m just thinking out loud as I type this to you. If you ever decided to stop casino gaming to help cover your cruise fare, you could always start a fans only page for “cruise cankles”. Just a suggestion. 😜 Edited September 10 by A&L_Ont 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
