Thanks for the tip. Good to know there are good options in Ensenada.

 

Another tip... don't know if you enjoy the Production Shows or not (RC singers & dancers). Don't miss Showgirls especially... this cast on this ship have the best 4 singers I have seen in a decade on Royal ships, and all the dancers are excellent as well. One of the best overall casts I have seen in a while.

 

And the older guy on the ice cast is incredible... he hit 2 triple jumps during the ice show!

Hip, Hip Hooray!

 

Went to the Top Tier Event to see our beloved @taznremmy be honored as the second highest point total on this cruise.

Pat has over 1400 points. She has been cruising since the 1970’s and her first cruise on a Royal Caribbean ship was Mariner of the Seas in 2012. She has sailed practically all over the world and is a valued Royal Caribbean Pinnacle member. More importantly she is a valued member and dear friend with us at Cruise Critic.

 

 

She was on Navigator last week, this week with us and then next week with our good friend @Tree_skier

 

Cheers to our @taznremmy !! 
 

 Congratulations on the many adventures you have sailed and to the ones you have yet to begin.

Will be following along and esp for the Niner game; sounds like you have more options to watch the game than we do in FL! (not getting NFL sunday ticket!)

Don’t Hate Us!!

 

 

The only thing better than a sea day is a sea day with your favorite NFL team playing. For us it’s the Kansas City Chiefs….I know…..I know…. Believe me I hear it but I remember going 50 years before we won our second Superbowl. Now the Chiefs are trying to 3-peat which is a very difficult thing to accomplish. Today’s opponent the 49’ers who the Chiefs beat last year in Superbowl 58.

 

 

I have a close connection to the Chiefs. For 12 years I was a sports only cameraman who covered the Chiefs on all their games home and away.
 

 

Since we had the coaches show on our television station I traveled with the team in all their home and away games plus games in Germany and Japan.

 

I worked closely alongside my dear friend the late great Hall of Fame Chiefs Quarterback Len Dawson.

 

I don’t miss shooting video of all those games. It was hard work, physical and dangerous. I got laid out in Denver on  Monday Night Football when Chiefs Running Back Larry Moriety came towards me on the sidelines on an end around run. I could see with my other eye ( not looking in my camera eyepiece ) covering the play that the linebacker was headed straight for me. Quickly I triangulated in my head the trajectory of Larry plus Linebacker (L squared) equaled ME.  I tried to get out of the way but the linebacker pushed Larry into me. I went flying, the camera almost left my hands but I held onto as it went crashing into me. Larry recognized me after I hit the ground and asked “You ok”? I groaned “Yeah I think so” after the game on the team plane I was in so much pain I had the team doctor give me a pain pill. I ended up with bruised ribs and a sprained wrist. The hazards of the job. 

 

So I have a deep feeling for the Chiefs. I’ve given blood, sweat and tears with this team. It’s nice to see them winning. I will take that because I covered them all those lean years. It’s safer now to watch them on television. The only thing I will have to watch out for now is the waiter to take my next drink order. 

 

Playmakers was the place to be. It was crowded and lively. Sorry I will be preoccupied for the he next 3 hours.

 

”May I have another beer please?”

 

 

[juanrod]

We will be rooting for the 49ers, but hoping for a great game   Enjoy playmakers and your beer @Sea Dog

I miss the old nfl ticket on direct tv , YouTube versions you must watch in live with commercials, I bought it , might skip next year since Buffalo games are on regular tv about 70 percent of the time .

@Sea Dog Great story about your history with the Chiefs and your coverage of them. That is an awesome story and history so thank you for sharing those stories! Great job on the live as well, really love living vicariously though all the reports on this site!

Ty for sharing. 
 

It is nice to hear about the friends you mentioned as frequent CC posters. 
 

It is nice to hear about these cruisers travels!!!!

[topanga49er]

Wow Seadog, what an amazing history you have with the Chiefs!  Such great memories!!

 

[Sea Dog]

Enjoying Playmakers. The food is fantastic and the company even better with @taznremmy and our new cruise friends we met Jodi and Richard from Arizona. Pat and them are rooting for the 49er’s.

Yes it was good.

 

Yes but my doc only prescribed for 7 days so I started on day 1.

 

 

I’ll try anything once.

Was there a scorpion aftertaste? 😆

[Ukigirl]

From one bourbon lover to another, any great bourbon based drinks you would recommend? We will be on Freedom in December and since I won’t be getting the drink package this time, I need to choose my D+ drinks wisely

I don’t think so but then again I don’t know what a scorpion tastes like. I think it was more of a visual thing than a taste thing.

I have always loved a good Old Fashioned. The  Schooner Bar has some interesting bourbon based cocktails including a toasted marshmallow Old Fashioned. I am trying to remember the others but most of the bourbon cocktails in the Schooner are quite good.

Line of the day!

 

@taznremmy and I were talking about watching the football game and I remarked “ I usually don’t day drink unless I’m watching football.” Pat replied “I usually don’t day drink unless I’m on a cruise.” said the Pinnacle with over 1400 points. We both cracked up really good!

Sea days with football are the best!  I’m listening to the chiefs game on sirius XM radio while I wait for the Steelers game later on.  Lots of injuries.  Getting interesting!
 

Congrats @taznremmy 🎉

I only drink during the day in days that end in Y, congratulations to Chiefs on being the only undefeated team ,  definitely think they’re beatable but they’re a great team . Bills also looked great against a weaker opponent.

I chuckled out loud on that one!  Congrats @taznremmy Pat on your big achievement!!  Can't wait to cruise together again next year!

I think the Chiefs beat the 49'ers in the 2020 Superbowl, too. 😏

Will you watch Chiefs game against 49ers should be a good game.

 

Unfortunately, from what little I saw it was a one sided game with the Chief's dominating. 

 

[juanrod]

@Sea Dog congrats on the win

[Sea Dog]

Dinner in the MDR.

 

A Taste of France tonight.

 

Escargot 

 

 

Roasted Beef Tenderloin (medium rare)

 

 

Cappuccino Chocolate Cake.

 

Dinner was very good and even though the portion sizes are now smaller on everything I did not have a problem with it after a big meal at Playmakers during the game.

We’re in central FL, no NFL Sunday ticket here. We were able to watch the Chiefs game on one of our local channels. I don’t remember if it was CBS or FOX. That’s probably because the Jags played in London, the Bucs are playing on Monday, and the Dolphins had a bye week. All that opened up some TV time slots so we saw some different teams playing. I was thinking about Greg enjoying the game on Navigator as we watched. Sorry you weren’t able to join the party.
