HARMONY LIVE - Yorkvillain, A&L_Ont, CruiseLifeRick & maureencruiser (9/30/17)

[Milwaukee Eight]

I popped in the conference center on deck 3 for 4 seconds just so I can say that I have been in a conference room on a cruise ship at least once in my life.

 

Whatever religious cult was in there was not happy with me doing a drive by with my camera.

 

 

 

 

Why is that cab sitting in the middle of the room? More bad welds??

Is that a buck showing in the bucket? What is this? Donations at sea? Church? Maybe everyone will make a mad dash to the bucket. Better go back with your camera again.:cool:

Is that cash on the floor by the bucket?

Sure looks like it.

[maureencruiser]

 

We're gonna need a wide angle lens for this caption contest picture. ;p

 

I vote for the lion screams tonight in the previous contest.

Honey, that's probably Alcoholics Anonymous, that's why they're not pleased with the camera.

This is CLR's fan club from the first few pages -- without their matching shirts. They are practicing throwing money at him to get him to dance, and possibly remove his Chubbies. They'll even wear a lion costume.

[Oslo]

CT got his drink on at dinner and is sporting his finest reds for the dance party.

 

 

"Is that a Super Hero in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

[maureencruiser]

Since I'm finally awake, I wanted to go back a few days.

 

We had a few mishaps getting off in Labadee. One of us got detained by security. I don't want to reveal who, but whoever it was used my camera to take this photo.

 

 

Finally, they let m̶e̶ whoever it was, out on parole.

 

 

 

I slept my way through this photo shoot.

 

 

Our view from our spot.

 

 

Rhonda, looking pretty.

 

 

You can see me starting to fall asleep here. For some reason, Rhonda found that hilarious.

 

[maureencruiser]

We asked our cabin steward for some wine glasses, since we just weren't drinking enough.

 

 

Speaking of our steward, we have had several things w̶e̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶b̶a̶b̶l̶y̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶g̶o̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶p̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶ go missing from our cabin including my razor, a ziplock bag of bandaids and a hot pink pair of Rhonda's "drawers". ;p

 

We have decided that our steward has pilfered them and is probably sitting in his cabin in the "drawers", shaving his legs and covering the cuts with the bandaids. At one point, we also thought he had made away with a pair of tweezers, but, we found those.

 

Obviously, due to the high value of these items, we have demanded a free cruise and his immediate dismissal. :loudcry:

 

We found the roving piano man out on the Boardwalk.

 

 

 

He was playing the theme from Titanic. :confused:

[BecciBoo]

Say hello to my little red friend:D

 

[maureencruiser]

My situation with the missing razor is getting critical.

 

If you hear reports of a sasquatch on the loose in the Caribbean, relax, it's just me.

 

In Falmouth, we found a restaurant that pronounces yard, the way I pronounce yard.

 

 

They serve a mean mango daiquiri.

 

 

Back on the ship, we found the piano man in the elevator again.

 

 

 

If you awaken early, you might be lucky enough to spot the ancient seafaring giraffes of the Serengeti.

 

 

While Rhonda slept in, Heather thought the best course of action was to start drinking early.

 

 

Last night at the Red Party, I enjoyed a cringe inducing medley of White Zinfandel, Fireball and John Collins. :eek:

And, my big, red friend. :evilsmile:

Did you drive the porcelain bus? Did you worship the porcelain god? Did you call for Ralph? Because that combination would have had me doing all of the above. Edited October 4, 2017 by wolfganghowell

Not to be outdone by my horrendous mixing of drinks, Heather followed up her Bloody Mary immediately with a Cafe Mocha. :eek:

 

 

Maybe cast iron stomachs run in the family.

 

Something, or someone is calling the giraffe to the Boardwalk.

 

 

Mama, is that you?

 

 

Reunited and it feels so good.

 

 

Alas, my mission to ride the giraffe with my giraffe was thwarted. They were closing, but, she let me run on to take this picture. Life goal delayed, we went on to lunch in the MDR.

[maureencruiser]

Nope, I actually threw some 2am pizza on top of it and that kept it down. :cool::cool:

[wolfganghowell]

maureen, you are my new hero. Keep on going girl.

[maureencruiser]

Lunch in the MDR was good, I had Shrimp Risotto.

 

 

Heather had Heirloom Tomato Salad.

 

 

And, I topped it off with lasagna.

 

 

 

 

Maybe I should have had some Fireball with it? I also bought the 10 drink card, but, unlike Courtney, I understood that I didn't have to drink all 10 drinks last night. :evilsmile:

 

 

 

Shout out to Dale, Mr Fun in the Sun, for letting me know today is National Vodka Day. For anyone who misses his reviews here, know that I lobbied hard to get him to join this cruise. He was supposed to go to Cuba a few weeks ago, but, his cruise was cancelled because of the hurricane.

 

On the way out, they had some nice desserts.

 

[maureencruiser]

After lunch, my sleeping sickness was apparently contagious.

 

 

Now, back to my giraffe quest.

 

Oh, Hell, no! I will knock a bitch out!

 

 

I was close to sneaking him on , but, I kept my cool, calm demeanor.

 

 

They had actually told me I couldn't take him on, because he was a hazard. They understood he wasn't a real, live full size giraffe, right? Then, one of the attendants said "Well, people do take their phones and cameras on." Luckily, cooler heads prevailed and I was given the OK to take him.

 

I could barely contain my excitement.

 

 

When the attendant came around to make sure everyone was "strapped in". she said, "Oh, a giraffe on the giraffe, I get it". As we say back in Massachusetts, "The light shines on Marblehead".

 

Somehow, despite our hours of planning, I don't think Heather understood the seriousness of this quest.

 

 

Satisfied, we returned to the cabin and let the Giraffe take a well earned rest.

 

 

He doesn't have a name yet, we've been calling him Baby Huey, at Rhonda's suggestion, but, I'm leaning towards Fireball.

[Yorkvillain]

 

 

 

 

 

Haha! Please ask Rhonda if I have her permission to make this my new Cruise Critic avatar.

[CruiseLifeRick]

A little throw back to last night.

 

To all the fried rice in the place with style and grace.

I'm not sure who saved this lounger but when you find the guy with no swim trunks I'd say we have a winner.

 

 

 

Pumpkin spice on everything now a days. Maybe if they put it on cruises I could go on more.

If you have enough to drink it will look like a cab.

I was cut off once even with the DP. I wonder how much Star Guests must drink to be cut off?
