Yea, you can go to the counter and order a shake with your drink package or diamond voucher. I did it yesterday on Adventure. However, it does NOT work for ben and jerrys (at least the diamond voucher doesn’t) I heard that if you wanted just sides like a chili cheese fries and drink, they could charge you 1/2 price for that. I had the UDP, so i could just get the snack today and not worry about it but the table close to me inquired about the snack.

Ran out? Never got the supplies? I was just informed before ordering that it would not have a bone in it. Maybe they shipped it here? 🤣

We got to see the ice show tonight. Cool Art, Hot Ice. Its not bad. I just don’t know what it was about. After the show, was Chops’ turn at dinner. Menu against my better judgment, I got the crab cakes. Umm, yeah. Not good. Yeah? i maybe biased being born in maryland but i didn’t think crabs could be overcooked. It was really dry and flavorless. So i sent it back. Tuna tartare. This was great. I wish the fish at Izumis was this good. Black Peppered Bacon. I think its the same thing they used in Giovanni’s pork belly except they put BBQ sauce on it. Still good. Ribeye. They warned me it was not bone in. Still great. And with that, I’m stuffed and done.

This is a royal Caribbean excursion. Bermuda drive by minibus. Or something like that. This was a mini-bus, we had 18 people on our bus. Not too bad. Pretty much filled the bus. It wasn’t too crowded. Made plenty of shorts stops

Most of it. We made it all the way to St. George which is on the other side of the island. The ferry port is being renovated so the ferry service has been suspended since July. The residents are mad because they are losing half their tourist season and they initially said it would take 5 weeks in July and its still shut down.

I hadn’t planned on stopping at Johnny Rockets, but when i got back from the tour, i hadn’t had lunch. As i said, the tour didn’t give quite enough time for a proper lunch so i didnt eat until i got back on the ship. The UDP gave me an option for a snack there. I love me some chili cheese fries. Just enough to tide me over until dinner tonight. Afterwards we went to the Diamond Lounge. Forgot they had some food too. One thing i found thats awesome i never had before. They had a rice krispie treat mixed with fruity pebbles. Genius!

I have not been given any notification yet. I already completed Arrivecan. My wife is going to the room right now. If there’s a notification, she will tell me, though i forgot two days is tomorrow, not today. I’ve already forgotten what day it is.

I am not the best person to ask. I can ask, but not sure where as i think some bars don’t stock everything. Also, they get supplies after each cruise so what we have now may not be true when you cruise. Or are you asking about the actual liquor store onboard. I can’t check that until tomorrow as the store won’t open until we leave tomorrow.

Oh, I should add it that I saw very little Fiona damage. Had i not tracked the storm like i did, I wouldn’t have known the island got hit. They’re that good. Friday Morning, 70% of the island lost power. Sunday morning, pretty much everyone got their power back.

Today’s adventure was the Bermuda Island by Minibus tour. The worlds smallest drawbridge. It so cute… Hamilton Hamilton Hamilton Found this bookstore in Hamilton. This sign is both me and my wife. We made our willpower checks and did not buy a book. Black Watch Pass Found this in St. Georges. Disappointing. No Dragons whatsoever St, Georges town hall From Gibbs Lighthouse Gibbs Lighthouse This was a great tour. Got to see most of the island. Spent about 45 minutes wandering around Hamilton and St. Georges. Not quite enough time to enjoy a lunch unfortunately. Because of the Ferry, St. George was quiet. It was great.

part of the minibus tour. The ferry is down, but is still access by cab and bus.

Found wifi in St. Georges. Quick shot.

Because we have to follow protocol based on our depart date, not arrival. Royal will take care of my requirements as I’m on a b2b.

Good Morning from Bermuda. So from this view, they are like “Fiona who?”. Looks pretty clear. It almost 80 degrees out here. We have not cleared customs yet. My tour begins pretty much soon after we open the doors.

So this ends Day 2. Tomorrow and the next day is Bermuda. I don’t have net access in Bermuda so i won’t be as active. So apologies in advanced.

Now that my stateroom attendant knows, I get it now. Here is day 3. I swear i don’t know why adobe scan sometimes does black and white. O don’t change the settings. Even though its the same scan, some are in color. It still works better than taking a straight photo. Adobe scan automatically crops it correctly.

So apparently, this cruise, the paper cruise compass is by request. I didn’t get day 2 last night and i was able to get it later. Here is day 2

So far today’s been an interesting day. I expected breakfast in the MDR, the only time on this leg i will eat at the MDR to get the best value. I was confused because i thought it was an open an hour earlier, but we set our clock ahead so i lost an hour without realizing it. Also, i went down hard last night so i was a little groggy. This morning we had a brunch. I’m not sure i’ve ever had a “brunch” on Royal ever. It might be because we lost an hour on a sea day, but the menu had both breakfast and lunch, but nothing special really. Afterwards, I made the wife coffee before our scheduled lunch at Chops and let her get caffeinated. The loss of an hour messed me up here, but i intentionally did not eat a heavy breakfast so that helped. I won’t repost copies of food I’ve aready had or menus. But I had the mushroom soup Filet Mignon. Warm Chocolate cake. the menu for is a bit small, especially when the other two specialty restaurants are not available for lunch really. Giovanni’s was open today for lunch, but we are going for dinner the same day. Izumi’s has sushi making class on both sea days and not open. I wanted to take the wife to the Sushi and Sake Lunch but its not available. I heard they didn’t get sake delivery, but at the same time, I got my She’s a Geisha and that has sake. After lunch, I just wandered aimlessly here. What we found was the Taste of the Caribbean event. Pretty much a class on making these drinks. You should known I’m an absolute lightweight on booze. This knocked me out. We barely made out dinner reservations at Giovanni’s. Menu Mozerella di Bufala Pork Belly Ossobucco Tiramisu I like Giovanni’s way better than Izumi’s. Just a better flavor

Its Fast and Furious, cruise ship edition. We are racing Carnival Magic to Bermuda.

the letter is different. Doesn’t mention much outside the 4 free drinks.

I’ve gotten 5 mbps on Grandeur before. Overall not a great improvement, but on non O3B its amazing 😃

Its my first B2B too.

I talked to guest services. They will take care of all requirements for Canada they say, it including the required testing. They said tomorrow. I was worried because check in was checked out and I had not completed that portion of it. They said that will be taken care of at the same time. Masks are in rooms, but i do not believe i saw sanitizer.

This was my internet speed today. It isn’t that bad considering. This morning it timed out and was worse, but it seems to have leveled out.

I am a coffee snob. So earlier, I posted the picture of my coffee stash. I bring an aeropress with me to make my own coffee because i feel that al cruises have subpar coffee. I should note that the spill above happened because my hot water not arrived and I was explaining to the table next to me how I normally spill. Seriously!!!
