Following. We are going on the Harmony on February 3.......2019!

Thanks for the invite up to the suite last night! It is a real sweet suite! Got caught up in the crowd of Eagles fans so did not make it back up.

By the way the couple I told you we met good thing we did not return with them, talk about beer drinkers!

 

Enjoy the cabana today, going up top while all are off the ship!

 

Thanks again!

Enjoying reviews so far, we will be on Harmony for first time in 61 days! Will be on deck 10 in back next to suite, hopefully will be good one.

How is your daughter enjoying the ship? Any not-to-miss things for teens?

Still alive, more posting to come later as the sky is pissing on us today. Right now wearing my nice baseball cap for lunch at Costal Kitchen.

Fun! Following!! If you find a chocolate espresso martini somewhere let me know! April can't come fast enough!

So, apart from my brief lunch post, a lot has happened since I posted before the Super Bowl. We had our small gathering in the room, Genie had a bunch of food, beer, wine, etc delivered. Of course, how hard is it for kitchen staff to know the difference between Buffalo Wings and wings with BBQ?!?!?! Look up the recipe online. Hell, I'll do it for you here from memory. A couple sticks of unsalted butter melted in a small sauce pan. Add a cup of Franks Red Hot. Put in a little bit of cayenne pepper, a dash of garlic powder, a drizzle of Worcestershire sauce, and a couple slashes of white vinegar. Put it on some low heat and mix it all together. Don't use BBQ sauce. I bet this was probably Heinz BBQ sauce that came from a gallon can or something. Just no. Just don't do it. It made me sad.

 

But, the Patriots lost! w00h00! We didn't end up watching past half time tho, we decided to make friends on Deck 15 at the Pool Bar, starboard side. You know the place, it's where all the drunk people hang out in a cloud of carcinogenic particulates. But it's also where all the fun drunk people are! I love fun drunk people! Seriously, it's one of my favorite parts of cruising. Hanging out with drunks from all over the world having a grand olde time. And the bartenders there rock, some of the best on the ship. Love them! Except at like 10am, those guys suck. I guess the other guys do have to sleep at some point in time.

 

Wife went back to the room early to take a little nap. Decided to get pizza at midnight, some idiot person knocked into her and her pizza fell on the floor! And they laughed. These ladies, I use this term loosely, no, not like that! Get your mind out of the gutter! They laughed. At. Knocking. A. Pizza. On. The. Floor. Do you have no dignity? It's not like it was something unimportant like a piece of pie or something. Pizza. At. Midnight. Some people.

 

Eventually she made it back up to 15 to meet all my new friends!!!! Eventually ended up in the casino. Decided to boost RCCL stock by hitting the blackjack table. The dealer was nice enough personally, but I swear she is getting kickbacks from RCCL on taking all of our money! I even tried bribing her with a few dollars here and there when I eventually got a blackjack.... Didn't help! Oh, by the way, did I mention that blackjack pays 6 to 5?!?!?! Seriously, 6. to. 5. What freaking bean counter in Miami decided that they would change the universal standard of 3 to 2 to be 6 to 5. $10 bet and you win $12. It should be paying $15. I want my three dollars! (picture me riding a bike chasing after the blackjack dealer yelling "Three Dollars!!!!", if you don't get the reference you are seriously lacking in your 1980's movie knowledge. Fix that.) Helen, one of the aforementioned deck 15 friends, I will now refer to them as "15'ers" decided to try to bring my luck by sitting by me. She's British, I'm pretty sure "luck" must mean something completely different in Great Britain. Thankfully casino was closing shortly, yes, we closed the casino. I'm not sure if I should be proud or sad, or, maybe a little bit of both. But, the bed was calling my name.

 

Speaking of which, oh man. The bed in this Star Class Suite. It is SOOOOO comfy!!!! The sheets are magical. So soft, like they are made of 1,000's of smooth baby bottoms. Every night before I go to sleep i literally (yes, I know what the word actually means) rub my hands up and down for a good 30 to 45 seconds because it amazes me how silky smooth and soft they are. Not like actual silk/satin sheets where you slide off. I think that would be really bad on a cruise ship doing a little rocking at night. Could you imagine how many times you'd slide off? But I digress, those sheets tho. Did I mention how soft they are? :) It's the little things in life that tend to make me so happy.

 

More to come later, I'm just chilling in the room now drinking beer from the mini-fridge working up a good buzz for hitting the FlowRider in about 45 minutes. If you don't hear back from me later, it could be because I'm getting fitted for a full body cast. But, as long as I have one free hand I hopefully can fill folks in on yesterday in wonderful Labadie. Yes, that is the actual name. But RCCL decided that Americans are too stupid to properly pronounce a French name and they changed it to Labadee. Probably the same people who decided to put Heinz BBQ sauce on chicken wings and say they are "Buffalo Wings".

Forgot the obligatory picture to go with the story! Me as a 15'er drunk after the Super Bowl :)

 

It was windy. My hair looks like crap. But I'm on a boat! *Breaks into singing The Lonely Island song*

Speaking of beer, our room is so stocked!!!

 

Sadly I was told by the wife we must also keep water and soda cold. I cannot turn it into a beer fridge. Thankfully I was able to have them remove all the bottles of Heineken. That junk is so skunky. *Shiver*

I never want this review to end....it's hilarious, somewhat informative, but truly hilarious.

 

(seriously, you did not watch the whole super bowl? It just goes to show that the wrong wings can spoil the fun - what a game it was.... loved every moment, especially the final score.)

 

LOVE this review, my favorite ever! Hope the full body cast is not today's outcome!

Back in the room while waiting for the ladies to get ready for dinner. Going to hit Izumi Hibachi tonight. Nothing to say about Hibachi since we haven't been there yet.

 

But, since I'm in the room and have access to my bluetooth keyboard, I'll try to type of some of yesterdays fun.

 

But first, I almost forgot about about getting lunch at Johnny Rockets on Sunday. We were sitting by the window by the boardwalk. Wife hears someone elses spawn crying outside the window. She looks over, the kid was just being lifted up by her dad, sees my wife, and screams at her. It was like the kid was possessed by Satan. Her face like grew several sizes. Was almost like one of the lizards that make themselves look larger when they hiss. I took a picture of the kid despite my wife's better judgement. Posting the picture of the kid here.

Another random note. The elevators. They have this chime when they reach a floor. I'm a big James Bond movie fan. The elevator does this little "ding-dong" two note sound. Maybe I'm tone deaf, ok, yes, i actually am tone deaf. My wife can't stand when I sing, but, I digress, I swear the following is true.

 

For Your Eyes Only, 1981, Roger Moore as James Bond. The theme song is by Sheena Easton. There is a 2 tone "ding-dong" in the song and they have it throughout the movie. I swear the tone is the same. I want to break into the theme song every time it dings.

 

I leave this link to YouTube that will hopefully work. You can't miss the little two ding-dong thing in the song. If you're on the cruise, or have been, I dare you to tell me I'm wrong.

Good move! My husband seems to be watching it every day! He will save that on the DVR for all time I think.

Out of context over heard in the elevator quote of the day, aka OOCOHITEQOTD:

If you see anything about Harmony hitting a large rock or plowing through a coral reef, no worries, just me doing the bridge tour! :)
