Big Chicken for our first meal, of course! Paired it with a Tequila Punch. 
Our room wasn’t ready, so we dropped our stuff off and went to Muster, then lunch. 
Now I dunno…we shall see what the day brings!

Sounds like a great start. I only cruise from Manhattan (or Red Hook or Bayonne) now. Please ask captain if he’d bring ship up here so I can cruise on her. 🤗😉😎

Lol I’ll see what I can do, I can be very persuasive! 😉

Where did I leave off? Ummm…oh yeah, after lunch we just kinda meandered around. We went to the spa and I did end up getting a thermal suite pass for the week. I’ve had an injury to my right arm, and I’m hoping the Tpool in there may help. I remember back in 2017 (or was it 2018?) when I fell and really screwed up my shoulder the night before we embarked on Magic, the Tpool in the spa felt SO GOOD on it. Also, crazy fun fact: during the “massage demo” the therapist with the hot stone went to work on my right arm, and I never said anything but when she got to the spot the injury is, she goes (and there is no outward sign of injury, it’s all internal) “something happened here…you’ve had trauma.” Yes ma’am, if you only knew…

So, after the spa, we meandered to the Pig & Anchor and met Shervin. He’s my friend right now. He made me the blackberry bourbon fizz, but since I don’t like Benchmark bourbon (ugh it’s ICKY!!) he subbed Woodford. He told me to keep it a secret tho, so shhhhhhhh! It was delish, so I got a 2nd. 
We came back to the room at 1:46 and started unpacking. We are in 9374, an extended balcony. So far, it seems like a good cabin and location. I do miss my kick

butt bathroom and shower on my previous cruises this year tho!

This is our first one. I love that I have an overhang for shade and if the weather gets icky! And I love the extra room. Location seems handy too…2 decks down to Alchemy 😂

Perfect! They are the only balconies where you can look straight down to the water. 😎

Last post for today: there is a bottle of hot pepper infused vodka at Alchemy….Angel made me a cocktail with it earlier, and holy moly, I love hot stuff and that was HOT. Is he REALLY an angel? My tummy is now questioning it…time for some Tums!

Chris will do a dive excursion at Anthony Key.

We did that from Mardi Gras two years ago. It was a great. Wonderful dive sites were only a 5 minute boat ride away! We even headed back to the dive shop in between dives.

Can you share how much the spa pass was for the week? And do they sell them daily as well? Hubby and I will be on the ship in 4 weeks and he wants a pass for a few days.

Thermal suite pass for the week is $159. Not sure if they do daily passes or not.
