Central Park

 

I am speed photographing .. trying to avoid people rushing in 😆… I shutter to think what dinner time will be like!

I can just imagine you taking speed pictures and when a crew member says “good morning” you yell “good morning!! Gotta get picccttuuurreessss!!!!” As you careen down the hallway hahahaha

Thanks so much!  Please please please as soon as you board pick up a show schedule and go down to the attic and get in line for the box office.  While you are in line make dinner plans.  Why can’t you do both?  Their system blocks out 2 hours for dinner so when you are making other reservations it will say conflict… and while you are waiting for that to be resolved shows will sell out!  

We noticed the conflict when we bought udp and wanted a certain time. I had to cancel the main dining room reservation 1st. We have the Key, so hopefully that will help get show reservations a bit quicker? Idk, as this is the 1st time with the Key. Thanks for all of the info and suggestions!

The best way is to book dinning first then the show and have the restaurant or box office to override!

Sports Deck

 

I need help CC !  Where is this pickle ball court like specifically so I can go take pictures?  I asked and all I get is deck 15… I walked all around and could not find it!

Look for the Pickelball courts where they play basketball.  Hopefully the courts are marked out there as we are cruising on the Symphony again in Jan. 2023.  We always pack our Pickleball paddles.

Turn Around Day

 

Yikes … it’s such a mess !  They really do make Magic Happen!  Take care of your room steward!  The line at guest relations around 9AM … gee wiz!

What room were you in?  You could keep the same one and not move?   We had 9196 and really liked it.

The time has come for yet another virtual cruise.  This week I will back on Symphony of the Seas.  Port stop mixed in with sea days to rest while dodging yet another hurricane.  Come along for pictures, lots of food and lots of my random thoughts 💭

 

This will probably not have as many picture as the previous review but we shall see… you never know what will happen on a Royal Caribbean Cruise

 

I am already getting withdrawal!  Thanks for continuing your pics and reviews.  😉

I was able to stay in the same room so it was very convenient

[BennyBrun]

So the last cruise we had about 5900 cruisers… this cruise is over 6000 but somehow it seems less crowded … weird!

Izumi

 

She’s a Geisha … what a refreshing drink… sweet fruity and hits you later kind of a drink

[BennyBrun]

Casino Royale

 

I need one of these so I can cut through the casino and still be able to breathe… it’s smoke central!

[BennyBrun]

Diamond Lounge Offerings 

[BennyBrun]

The never ending line at Guest Services… why can’t they put a reservation system for that… I bet that will reduce the line.

Benny - Sorry I missed "turnaround day". It took you an hour, it took me over 24 hours... lol. Glad I caught the ship before the next port.

 

"Speed photographing"? "shutter" to think...? Love the pun! 🤣

 

I enjoy your "adventures". Safe travels, my friend.

Day 1

 

Windy night … listens to the wind in the Solarium 

[BennyBrun]

Chops Grill

 

[BennyBrun]

Modified version of Hiro … how do I know?  I have seen it three times last week plus this showing was only 35 minutes long … it is still excellent due to the weather and for people never seen it before you will never know the difference

Late night comedy at the theater

 

Scott Henry & Neary Saenz 

Funny funny funny guys!  Can’t wait to see what the adult comedy will be like 😂
