Then fortunately, you won't be the one doing it.

We are all thankful, but then we shouldn’t be because there is zero chance he would

Can only imagine the snark you deleted.

Actually what I said was this..." I believe John is doing the whole world cruise, all 4 legs."

 

Cruise Critic was acting up and wouldn't allow me to leave my post below the quote  I was answering. Could only answer the post in the quote box.

The post below is what I was answering.

John-

I’m assuming you are speaking about the RCL world cruise?  If so, are you planning to go on all 4 legs or just 1 or more and which one/s?  Thanks for taking us along on this cruise!

If you are talking about me, you are correct. I wouldn't want to be on a cruise ship that long.. Two or Three weeks would be my limit but for those they want to do longer cruises no problem go for it.

 

@xpcdoojk are you going on the World  Cruise? Doubt you would go on  it with no Flow Rider on Serenade of the Seas.

@John&LaLayou should try an espresso martini with Bailey's and see what you think. I got hooked on them.

Did you observe and see what the amounts of each liquor is in the Crescendo? Equal amounts, or more of one of them? Inquiring minds would love to know. 😁

 

According to Melanie in SL

 

1 1/2 oz vodka and 1/2 ounce everything else

Peach schnapps 

Sour Apple schnapps 

Midori

Triple Sec (I may substitute Blue Curacao)

Pama pomegranate liqueur 

 

Shake and strain into martini glass, garnish with maraschino cherry

Why are you spacing the cruises out so much?  😂

This one got added last minute. It's our 2021 casino prime free cruise. I forgot we hadn't taken it. Use or lose. 

 

Next cruise should have been March 5 on Symphony.  My plan was one per month until summer

[John&LaLa]

Wow, we broke 1000 posts. Thanks everyone  for contributing and coming with us. 

 

I'll post the rest of compasses tomorow night.

 

Cue obligatory sad picture

Stopped by two70 looking for Alejandro. 

 

He's part of the turquoise vested social distancing police. Most upbeat guy on the ship. Laura wanted to thank him with a small gratuity and a big Thank You.

 

All you future Odyssey cruisers should look out for the Happy Mexican

[John&LaLa]

Well we eventually ordered room service. I was impressed with the quality, temperature, and timely delivery.

 

Should have done this earlier.

 

Oh, and Laura tried out the jacuzzi tub. Sorry, no pictures. 

 

Good night

It isn't too late if you are still on the ship.

Hi John,

 

Just came across your thread tonight. We were on the Jan 2 sailing and stayed in 9634. There were 4 of us. Our 2 young daughters slept on the pull out couch. 

 

We also did the L&S and wished we thought ahead and booked a second cruise under that promo. We hit Diamond after that cruise but not sure we will ever be able to afford the Suite Life under regular prices.

 

You thread brings back so many memories for me. Loved our stay with Mohamed, Louis, Melanie and Jo-ne.

Just received the email from testing.  We are now officially feeling good about being negative.  

 

Nice...now I don't have to pack my bags.  😄 

 

 

 

So happy you're negative.  But you ARE a positive person. 😉 Sounds like you're having a great cruise.  Carry on!

2- did the do the Love and marriage show (I know old and cheesey, but we always like it.

When we were on at the end of October they had it in two70.  They had some pretty impressive prizes, compared to past shows.  Of course in that sailing, fully vaxed venues didn’t require masks.

 

Maybe current protocols drive what shows and activities they do.

I think RC should pay you for a blog, or at least comp the cruise 😉

Did john say above it was a casino cruise, use it or lose it ... or maybe he meant the next one. Lol

 

Between pinnacle cruises and casino, I suspect he is making out quite well. Hahahaha. 

 

Though I'd be a no on the cauliflower steak.

I was actually talking about the world cruise 

I remember years ago when travel blogs were quite a new thing  someone I knew went on a chartered aircraft world tour. She blogged about it and the company who organised it invited her foc on  two more tours as the official blogger
