You can on Harmony. Until I found the extra latch/deadbolt to double lock it, my young nieces were just letting themselves into our cabin via the balcony, lol.

 

Our family had 3 suites in a row and had the balcony dividers opened.

 

Ah - the innocence of children !

Back in Playmaker's for a Black&Gold

 

Seriously good cocktail

 

Give it a try. 

Do you happen to know what they use for the sweet and sour mix portion?

Not a bourbon drinker but I'll try anything once, especially when it's free. Looks/sounds good.

Not sure if I missed it.  Did you ever take the Unlimited not really Unlimited to any higher management and/or show them the website description?

 

No, I've had my fill and then some.

 

Will follow up for clarification with shoreside

 

In Giovanni's now, and I did Playmaker's for lunch, so I guess I'm good for now

Probably need to ask. 

I'll report back

I'd die. 

 

Carbonara is fairly heavy

Yes, yes you did. I might have been tempted to go with the gnocchi. My grandmother was so good at making it. I don't have it much since she left.

[John&LaLa]

Appetizer 

 

Yes, very good. Nice Florida tomatoes

I always get the carbonara, usually with the filet but you'll tell us.

 

In the past I've also asked for the fried calamari from the the lunch menu as an app and it hasn't been a problem (much better than what you posted from Fish N Ships no doubt).

 

Cannolis sometimes wind up as a to-go dessert after all that.

 

Giovanni's has always been the one specialty restaurant we pay for when it's available. As a frugal cruiser, we used to always eat there on night one when RC had the "first night done right" BOGO promo.

Still at CocoCay 

 

Freedom left at 5:00. Odd, we obviously have further to get home.

 

BTW, the newest Disney ship arrives in PC early tomorrow. Should be a zoo

[Ocean Boy]

This cruise is way to short. I'm not ready for it to end.

Actually, I'm looking forward to going home.

 

Everything great, for most part, just lonely.

 

Do you usually sail solo?

Was going to order filet, but Grecia suggested the Osobuco. 

 

I had stopped before dinner to find out the departure process. 

 

I will meet her in Boleros at 8am. She said self assist will be crazy since it's Monday. But it is a holiday, so who knows

Captain Gus blew the horn and we're off.😁

More so lately. Cruises used to be a family event but I love it more than others. My parents really like it but they are getting older and with their medical issues they are not really comfortable travelling any longer. I can enjoy a cruise either way.

Father's Day in the Jammer 

 

Chocolate fountain set up in Plaza Bar

 

Got in before they opened again😉

No crowds

How can you be lonely, we all are here sailing with you? 😁

Thanks for taking me along and saving me some money as well.  Feels like I am right there with you.  I have 2 weeks to go until my next one. Looked at making it a b2b possibly so I could go sooner  but not much available at this late date.   That feels like a lifetime😢  I better pass my Covid test this time

Yes, I wonder what it would be like without y'all keeping me company. Thanks for coming along

Exactly how I feel but I'm 26 days out from a B2B on Indy. Also still waiting on official GTY assignments and RoyalUp bids for both halves... and of course the covid test.

 

I need more live reports to help fill the time! What ship you going on, Molly?

And I saved you some calories.

 

BTW, every time I took pictures of bar stools, I thought of you. This ship has tons of them.

 

Star Lounge seemed the most unlikely to score one

Thanks for bringing us!

 

Greatly appreciate the specific info I may have asked for along the way btw. I've been on Oasis-class for so long, I felt like I had forgotten what Freedom class was like.
