Your Sorrento's pic looked like mine. Pizza under that blue light from the promenade.

Breakfast at the Windjammer was good. Had a little bit of fruit fruit and thought I would try the  mueslix.

 

It tasted exactly like what you think it would. To me, that would be sadness in a glass cup. Needless to say, I didn’t eat more than one spoonful.  
 

 

 

 

I used to love the muesli but then they added diced bananas  😡. I like bananas but not added to anything..ever..not even banana bread.

Andrew, you have mentioned eating a few times already. I don’t see a Sorrentos on the deck plans. Where can my wife and granddaughter get pizza? Also, I know some smaller ships have a Park Cafe, does this ship have one

They have it at the Cafe Promenade. It makes for a bit of a line but it went quickly.

It didn’t make it taste any better, but the alcohol and time of night did.😁

I had the same thought. LOL

That actually looks comfortable.  Any chance she got that through Amazon ??

Yes.  She bought it in 2020 and uses at the pool at home. This is the link from Amazon Canada but you can fin it from there. It self inflates, and rolls up into a small bag for travelling.

That would almost be as bad as raisins in anything.  🤢

Back from the wave. Solid riding after 3 years. I took a good fall but otherwise all was good. 
 

I can back though and Lisa gave me the mid morning pool report.  The port side pool was open for 45 minutes then closed.

 

It Is closed for a “cleanup in isle 2”. Someone left a dookie.  Operation cean up has begun.

Good reason to never go in those pools on a cruise ship, when you want to cool off just use one of the near by showers on the pool deck.

Is the tiered section reserved for suites?

They are and the honor system seems to be working. Security came by while I was riding and Lisa said a couple people had to move but that is a small ratio compared to the seats.

That’s what I just did. Lisa went in the still open pool and she said it was probably 80F but full on sea salt water.

Sorrento's wasn't invented until they started building the Freedom class ships and then the pizza was moved there from the Cafe Promenade. You can still get pizza there on Voyager class ships.

[wolfganghowell]

All is right in the cruising universe now that you are back on the high seas.  Have a great time.  We loved Mariner when it was based in Texas.  Voyager and Freedom class are my favorite.  We're giving Harmony a shot in a few weeks - and she's headed to Texas to 2023 so we're going to have to get used to O class.

It's kind of like White Castle Hamburgers. They only taste good after a long night of drinking.

So you avoid the pools on a ship🤔

I love a good pool so I guess I’ll take my chances!

Just like same “street meat”, hot dogs after a night of drinking.

Yes, followed by peach, mango and strawberry daiquiris.

We have been too.
 

Holidays are often about calculated risks. Judging by the dancing at the worlds sexiest man earlier some here might need to bathe in sanitizer.  They sure had fun though.
 

Some photos might be posted later, if appropriate.😉😂

Thank-you @maureencruiser

There was a sprinkle of rain so the band took a break but are back at it again. The seas are calm and the breeze is nice. 

Ruh Roh….

 

Breaking news….

 

The second pool was just evacuated to a 4 short and 1 long blasts of a whistle. Must be code, for one type of long blast.  🤢

 

edit: hope it wasn’t a mudslide. 😂

The band is now playing a reggae version of  “Another day in Paradise by Phil Collins. 
 

The irony is not lost on by me, with what is happening feet away from them.

Late afternoon report from the cabin. It got too hot by the pool.  Yes, I said too hot. remind me about that in January.

 

We don’t have to do it all in one day, and we have to prep for our stop tomorrow.  After all, it’s going be hotter in Haiti. 😉
