The new mobile bar is going to take some getting used to.

 

Man, you can do some eating, here's another "good job." 😉

Yeah the Gulf of Mexico looks like rain and storms for the next few days back to Florida. Are you back in Miami on Saturday or Sunday?

Good afternoon. 

 

We are still rocking and rolling over here.

 

All decks 12 and higher were closed off last night and all furniture on 11 had been put away. Wonder if they have reopened, or more have been closed off. Walking track is 12 so hoping that has reopened. 

 

Getting ready now to go sieze whatever the day has in store.

Aloha. I respect many may disagree but I do enjoy the rough seas! Have been blessed to transit the Atlantic, Bay of Biscay and the Drake Passage.  The wife…not so much lol.

I enjoy it a little less than I used to. I have a tendency for motion sickness. The actual rocking reminds me I am at sea and I do enjoy that.

I have an identical one back home. I like that this one holds more, but I do miss my familiar friend.

Saturday. Weather not looking good for embarcation. Thankful not to be driving in that.

A friend of mine has a sign that says "Seas the day" which sounds like what you are doing!!👍  As your MDR waitress says "good job!"😃

[jam19872016]

Taking a lunch break. 

 

[jam19872016]

It's chocolate extravaganza day.

Thanks.

Nice lazy afternoon so far alternating between the gym and sauna. Almost got my four miles, will finish after dinner since I don't think I'm gonna stay out late tonight. 

 

Inside is packed on this rocky sea day.

 

Time for a coffee. 

 

 

 

[jam19872016]

I'm questioning my plan to sit outside. This wind is no joke.

[jam19872016]

Still got some OBC to burn so I'm gonna see how busy the casino is. 

[jam19872016]

Casino wasn't great, but not terrible. I'm happy with how much money I was able to cash out, especially since it was house money.

 

I went to guest services to once again get myself added to the list of B2B guests. I mentioned that this has never happened on any other ship and she indicated sometimes it happens with bookings made my travel agents. Let's just say I know my travel agent VERY well and I don't think it was anything he did wrong on his part.

 

I also asked about $87 credit still showing on my account as refundable OBC. That was the exact amount of six days gratuities and I was never charged gratuities so I wanted to make sure that was going to come off for that before I spent it on gambling. She informed me my gratuities were prepaid. I am almost certain that I did not prepay them, I rarely do even if the rate is going up especially if I have OBC to burn anyway. Again knowing my TA pretty well, I can safely say he did not pay them either.

 

It's a mystery and I hope the crew got their money but I am not going to argue the point, if they said it's paid I will go with it. They also offered me cash on the spot since it was refundable credit. Sweet.

[jam19872016]

One other nice thing that happened.

 

I was on my way through Pixels to pick up my loyalty gift and pin and a member of the crew came up to me and said she had a picture for me. I had totally forgot to pick it up again (I've always had it delivered so I don't even think to pick it up). I asked her if she happened to have last week's still. She said she did and they were together already for me.

 

Very thoughtful of her especially since I had forgotten about it again.

 

I'm trying to decide what the plan is tonight. I wanted to stay out tonight since I don't really need to be up until the last last minute tomorrow. They want us to meet at 8:45, but then we just sit for a while. I don't need to clear the room since I am in it again next cruise. But I have been pretty tired all day, and sleep sounds nice. I am not sure, I am feeling a little more refreshed now and I know that I am probably not going to fall asleep at a reasonable hour anyway. I also know when we dock in the morning the thrusters will be my wake up call.

[jam19872016]

Checked in for dinner at 716 under 10 minutes wait.

 

 

[jam19872016]

Table ready at 723.

 

 

 

[jam19872016]

Giving these another shot, hopefully they will be better than the other day.

 

Fried green tomatoes 751

 

[jam19872016]

That was indeed very much improved over the first time I tried it. Before there was no flavor but this time there was a nice sweet flavor to the tomato with a little kick to the sauce. I enjoyed it a lot.

 

Barramundi and penne mariscos 810.

 

 

[jam19872016]

Barramundi was good. Just a touch dry but not enough to detract from the taste. That tomato thing on top is so good.

 

Penne was also good. Very good flavor and very generous portion of seafood.

 

For dessert baked Alaska x2 826.

 

 

 

 

[jam19872016]

Dinner was good. Those dbl baked Alaska's is the way to go. 

 

Finished my walk and restocked the bar for next week.

 

Now I'm debating...piano bar or bed?
