That is where the ships had them until the card room became the Suite Lounge. I used to enjoy playing and the view wasn't bad either. The pop up piano player can show up just about anywhere on board. The last time he was in one of the elevators, and then he set up in the middle of the promenade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lounge didn't have Midori. So I called an audible and used Apple Pucker. So 6 of mine, 2 of Laura's and 3 in casino Will catch up in the morning I did not know there is a frozen drink called Blue Hawaii. What is the flavor like. I am learning a new frozen almost every cruise. 😌 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal may have got a heads up he is going to try to drink them dry this week.............. No luggage issues at all. In fact it was waiting for us when cabins opened at 1:30 But I digress 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlight Sonata was her piece Freedom had a Samick, I'm pretty sure, and it actually was not a bad piano. It had a bright sound. Some grands sound muffled when the cabinet is closed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am learning a new frozen almost every cruise. 😌 A lot like a pina colada. Very creamy. Laura found it overly sweet. It was my first drink Laura went with a lemon drop martini, sugar rim, but in a rocks glass. Safety first at the pool. It was strong. Drank it dowm a bit, then went and had some sour mix added. Much better Might as well finish pool. Went there after lunch to wait for 1:30. Packed swimwear in back pack, so we changed in rest room. What should I wear 🤔 The lovely LaLa. Today she's rocking a Lilly bikini Trying to keep backpack in shade. Some chocolate in there. Gorgeous afternoon I headed down to 6 at about 1:20.

Rare John&LaLa Posted October 17, 2022 Author #84 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Forgot to mention the blue mats at the pool. Anti slip I guess, but very cool on the feet. Nice improvement 👏 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamon Posted October 17, 2022 #86 Share Posted October 17, 2022 John--- A few weeks ago when we were on the bermuda 8 night sailing, Pinnacles could not use the suite lounge because there were too many. So are Pinnacles allowed to use Suite lounge on your cruise?? Is Mikhail Gonsalves still the Concierge??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted October 17, 2022 Author #87 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Boarding Day Lunch, Jammer style. Since we got there early, no crowds 👍 Food was ok except for roast beef. Way overdone, but that's typical. Apparently you are supposed to remove paper before eating the wrap. Oops Waldorf. The red apples were a little squishy. And no raisins @A&L_Ont Bean salad. Hoping to find the corn and black bean salsa later Laura secured piping hot frites 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted October 17, 2022 Author #93 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Our cabin is a typical balcony. A little dated, but functional. Plenty of storage for one, I'm sure it would be fine for a couple. The fridge is definitely a thermo electric cooler. Put a Corona in yesterday, and it seems cold enough to drink. Forgot my thermometer. Sorry My C&A goodies. Laura's I used to get 3 wine's as well, but some time ago it was reported that linked solos on same sailing only get 1 set of ammenities. No biggie Opened the divider, Laura's balcony is a little smaller since she's on tail end of hump. Have the nice reclining chairs, but no stools. Actually a little crowded in my opinion. And the doors need a little TLC. They don't slide easily Nice view aft. VAB in background Some paperwork, but not all. Hate to bore you This is neat. Please don't order any towels for me Moved to Bermuda time last night 😱 $75 OBC from my favorite TA Laura got it as well. I also got $100 shareholder OBC. So $250 total And we get a block. 1540, I believe. Now we both got the form. Doubt we get two blox Suite Concierge letter Diamond Concierge letter Loyalty Ambassador letter. Odd that the notice about Chops breakfast is here 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll load up my snacks in the morning😉😁 Thanks for coming along My kind of snacks. Sorry I’m late thanks for permitting to come aboard. I’ll probably re read everything when I have more time.

Ocean Boy Posted October 17, 2022 #95 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Have the drink prices gone up to $14 like is being reported on other ships and if so are the C&A vouchers covering the increase? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted October 17, 2022 Author #96 Share Posted October 17, 2022 After unpacking, Laura wanted to turn her milestone request in to LA, so I said I'd meet her in Schooner. Ran into the Back to the Freedom crowd. It was a cruise in 2017 where Laura got adopted by a fun group. Visited with Mary, Mark, Amy, Tina, and Paul. Saw Terry on pool deck earlier. Off to Cafe Promenade for pizza. No line, good pie, but no seats. So off to the Pub. Lots of seats. Bad lighting, good pizza Scratch Newcastle off the list. Bottles in pub, draft in other venues. Weird Moscow Mule. Very gingery. Curious what ginger beer they use. Kinda burned back of throat Time to sail away and change for dinner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If $14 is their lowest price for a drink now and you get vouchers for the drinks, I would sure hope it still covers Royal's cheapest drinks at least. If not we got real trouble. I'm sure that letter John got is just a generic letter stating the $13 price. It will be changed I'm sure.

You know, I don't know. I'm just looking at my list to order. No surcharges yet. I do have a couple tiki bar drinks on my list. Those may get surcharges Is anyone else sailing now noticing an annoying pop up for Icon reveal when they use the app. It sux. Thinking about voicing my opinion to anyone who will listen. Once is fine, but every time is not Also don't see any drinks in SL last night. Might be on Laura's account Edited October 17, 2022 by John&LaLa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
