OCSC Mike

For future reference, this varies by ship. There is an omelet station on Wonder but it’s also been very busy most mornings this week.

Think we’re ok now. Server named Mike came over & said he thought someone else took our order & apologized like 5 times. Got my goalpost margarita… Sorry, kinda dark in here.

I think we’re experiencing the poor service at Playmakers you mentioned, @GatorCruiser. Got sat by a friendly server pretty quickly… now been sitting here for quite a while waiting to place our order. It’s busy but not crazy. Not many people paying any attention to hoops so it’s not that.

Pretty much my go-to frozen drink. Usually pretty heavy on the kraken too if that matters.

Cooling off with frozen drinks (kraken colada & strawberry daiquiri) then going to Playmakers for dinner later. Hoping it’s not too busy with the NCAA tourney starting.

Chef’s gift or whatever it’s called.

Just got back. Pics later when I get them from my wife. Dolphins, turtles, and stingrays… oh my! Had a great time just like our first time 7 years ago. Perfect weather while on the boat but felt a lot hotter on the walk back to the ship.

Western omelet & blueberry smoothie from Solarium Bistro.

Waiting for chocolate croissants in the CL. Almost 7am, no one here but me. Weather looks beautiful through the virtual window. We’ll be gone most of the day on Captain Bob’s speedboat snorkel excursion.

They didn’t flinch or skip a beat. I’m sure they rehearse that but it was still incredibly impressive. We said that was our new favorite ice show the 1st time we saw it but after tonight I really think it’s on another level from the others I’ve seen.

No cookies for us. Sitting in Studio B waiting for the ice show. We really liked it in June. They let us in 30 mins before the show without reservations.

Churros They had warm freshly baked soft chocolate chip cookies in little dishes but can’t keep up with the demand, lol. Wife is patiently waiting to see if more are coming. This is as busy as I’ve ever seen a WJ & Wonder’s is large & well-designed so that’s really saying something. I’m sure many of you reading would want no parts of the chaos but we have no plans for a while & my wife wants her cookies, lol, so no biggie to us.

WJ is crazy busy. I’m thinking it’s b/c we were in port so late that people missed/skipped the MDR. Tons of managers in suits helping to bus tables.

Grey Goose sour from WJ bar. Normally comes in a rocks glass. Who knew I should go to the WJ for drinks? My butter chicken pic won’t upload. @Neesa & @Lovetocruise2002, just saw Vinay again. Told him the butter chicken was a little better in CK but still good. Will try to upload dessert pics later. They look good.

We have reservations on night 6 but may go standby tonight.

Decided to call an audible & skip Mexican night in the MDR. I would have gotten butter chicken that I’m sure is in WJ & there was even less than usual for my wife. She’s napping & we’ll worry about dinner later. In the meantime I went back to ELF before they closed for more tacos (I still won’t eat the guac, aka green sludge). Then got a lime & coconut on the way back to the cabin minus the souvenir bucket. Still not sure if I like this drink or not.

Picky person pizza…

Yeah, I won’t go on a rant about the FL education system but my wife is supposed to max out at 18 (she’s been a little over before but nowhere near 28). Pretty sure 28 in K violates state law.

Lol, no, us poors can’t be bothered with what the elite are doing… The genie guarding the seats dealt with it. I mostly only heard “but we’re in a suite!”

Starting to slack on the food porn, sorry. Unless I want Indian food from WJ or we have plans, I think I’ll be eating ELF for lunch most days. Had 2 tacos & 2 quesadillas (with cholula chipotle of course). Wife went to special order picky person pizza at Sorrentos (sauceless & well done, it’s actually good, kinda like crispy cheesy bread).

Wife’s favorite drink hack… asking a solarium bartender to add a banana from WJ/Park Cafe to her strawberry daiquiri. She usually winds up with a little extra b/c of it…

A genie guarding the seats.

We sat next to a K teacher from Jacksonville at comedy last night. She said she had 28 kids at one point and just “got down” to 25. No assistant teacher, just her.

Solarium time

I think we saw 80-100K at one point. My FIL wouldn’t go for it though. Not sure if it was the money or sharing one suite with the fam though.
