LOL....you know your bro never will.  😄 😄  

 

Happy Bucky in our little corner table in the MDR...with...a favorite Stella in hand.  🍺

 

And a backup Cab. My man. 👊 And waiting for you is your SB. 👍

We have seen both that violinist and comedienne on a Royal cruise, I think Anthem. I agree they were very entertaining. 

 

Continue to have a great time, and safe travels. 🚢 🎄

LOL...yup...   Have SB...will travel.  😄  

 

As you may also have noticed...theater pretty much empty.  Really much of the ship empty, including half or less at the MDR tables.  Kinda like it that way.  😉

Just read where Devil's island port call is cancelled due to swells/weather that make it too risky to tender.  3 more days at sea.

Yeah, I kind of thought that was going to happen from what I posted yesterday. So Sorry !

Thanks!  Another interesting show to go to tonight.  Mario D'Andrea.   Guitar playing, comedy, impressions.

Show last night was hilarious.  Great comedian doing a southern style "red neck/hillbilly" type skit.  Definitely clicked with we older ladies.  😄  

 

Though if you were to look closely at her, she is way younger and much skinnier than she presents.  Definitely added padding and a scarf around her head to cover nice hair.  😉 

 

 

She was on Jewel on the Greenland Cruise this past September. She was very Funny!!

 

She had to sit down for part of the show because the ship was really rocking, kind of added to the show watching here fumble around the stage trying to stand put. 🙂

 

Did you catch her name? Want to look to see if she has anything on Youtube?

I'm not onboard. I read about it on a FB page from someone who is onboard.

She does.  I've seen her videos.  Her name is Etta May.

At least that gives them time to properly prepare and serve the food😇

So far so good indeed.  Food comes fast, hot, and mostly edible.  😄 

[island lady]

Bucky made a few of these before we left home from old wine corks, and left over scraps... to hand out to crew members.  They loved them.  🙂 

 

He also made the "party animal" magnet for our door.  😉

I hope this doesn't become a year of island sail-bys.🫥

We thought Etta May was great!

 

Sorry you’re missing a port.  I suppose that’s bound to happen but hope it’s rare for you. Christmas at sea sounds lovely actually.

perhaps.  It didn't sound familiar to me so I googled.  They were at Universal 2007 to 2021, but I didn't find anything for WDW

 

I saw them late 80s in Princeton, NJ at the McCarter Theatre when they were 'new'. They've been around for a long time. Could very well have been at Disney for a performance at some point.

It would have been much further back than that - 2002-2003 timeframe before they were all that well established.

I believe you. They've been around since 1988.

Try not to "hit" the Falklands too hard - it spooks the sheep😱🐏

Ehh...not so bad to miss a port on this long cruise.  Feel bad for how many times, recently it seems,  the shorter cruises to Coco Cay and even Nassau have been missed.  Feel it more then I should think.

LOL...would be a bit tough on Stig's ship as well.  😄 😄   Lamb chops anyone?

I thought maybe a private show for just you and Bucky. 😉

 

I like what I'm hearing.

 

Too bad about the dumb and dumber parents letting their little darlings run around and create a distractions for the performers and those enjoying the show. I bet they are a real treat to sit near in the MDR. 🤬

He did a great job!   I love the reindeer.     I wish I was as creative and crafty as some people.

Yes, the kids running amok was shocking. Violinist seemed to take it in stride

Is that family onboard for the entire WC?   I hope their behavior improves.

Yeah Couple Months ago we had 6 Seas Days straight Sea Days causing multiple missed ports on Cruise due to rough water, left us with only 4 stops on a 16nite Cruise
