Had a wonderful dinner in Cagneys again. Double shrimp cocktail and baked potato soup only. Need to cut down definitely gained some weight [emoji3]

 

Beautiful evening as I try to procrastinate final packing.

Not sure how many updates I can provide tomorrow but will try and see this through to the bitter end with me kicking and screaming trying to stay on the ship [emoji16]

 

 

Either way, I enjoyed updating everyone and I thank everyone for their kind words and encouragement all week, made the effort worthwhile

Seadog - Thanks for all the effort and time you put in on this review. It was just like being there with you. You unselfishly used your vacation time to entertain all of us. Get home safe and thanks again!

I think you're on the same cruise I am! Did you join the Roll Call? I don't remember seeing your name there.

I just may [emoji3] i never realized there were different mojitos until yesterday doh!

 

When someone asked if they had a tasting earlier this week ( i forget who) I first thought there is only one mojito, now I see i was a babe in the woods lol!

 

The flight it will be, thanks for the recommendations!

That was me :) I fell in love with the mojito bar and all the varieties on the Getaway last summer and couldn't have been more excited to learn they added a mojito bar to the Gem. Hope you enjoyed them!

Did you notice at all the past week if they had any Cold Soups? They use to be something I looked forward too but I'm not sure if they brought them back.

 

 

Thank you so much for this Awesome play by play review of your Cruise.

WOW - gratz to you!!! I paid for a cruise/vacation once with winnings at the 3-card poker table.

 

 

Thanks Nycruzzer and pamster! Have a great time NY.

 

It is a great feeling pamster paying for a cruise with winnings [emoji3] as you know it is not usually like that lol

Thank you very much for your time and effort to post all your pics and commentaries. I'm sitting here looking at our suitcases and anticipating getting aboard tomorrow even more because of you.

Seadog thank you so much. This has to be one of the best reviews/ live from's I've ever followed. I can't sleep for anticipation of boarding the Gem today. I know you are already feeling the stirrings of post cruise blues but your cruise will stay with all of us for a long time. Thank you again for being such a generous soul. Safe travels home.

I sure did! Now I have something else to drink instead on my gin and tonics! Thanks juvesgirl!

 

 

Wonder what a balcony cabin on that ship costs [emoji3]

We did not eat in the main dining this week. I do have a few photos of the menus from Magenta so I will look to see if they offered any and post it.

 

Thanks for following!
