Lol. It wasn’t a huge deal. There wasn’t a scene that reached your level of shenanigans or anything… they just needed to be told 2-3 times before accepting that there was a difference between Sky & Star.

Suite snob story… we’re in the comedy club sitting right behind the reserved star class chairs. Two women in Sky Class seemed mildly perturbed that those seats weren’t for them.

I promise there was no monkey in my wife’s pot pie.

MDR was mediocre but we’re still a little full from Mason Jar so it’s fine. Didn’t bother taking pics. French onion soup was pretty bad, beef tenderloin was actually on the rare side how I wanted it & not bad at all, crème brûlée is what it is. We have a 2-top next to one other 2-top & have been chatting with a friendly couple. Tonight the woman asked me if I did a live blog from Wonder in June, lol. She read it at that other site (I cross posted that one, I’m loyal you guys now). Thought that was pretty crazy. She thanked me… but no tip. Oh well. Taking some professional pics so we can get our 2 freebies then going to adult comedy later. Early dining being at 5:00 is making us wait in crazy lines. When it was 5:30 we used to quickly take pics before dinner with almost no line.

That was all my wife with her iPhone 15 Pro & photo skills. Tried this the other day for the 1st time. Royal is turning me into a margarita lover. I always liked the Goalpost at Playmakers but thought this was really good too.

Yesterday. Thanks for remembering. Mason Jar pics coming later. My wife took over (she has a better phone & takes better photos than I do) so I have to get them from her & I’m too stuffed right now.

FWIW, shorts & a polo made me more dressy than half the MDR on Wonder the past two nights.

Like others have said, it’s subjective & varies from night to night, ship to ship, etc. Lasagna was not very good on Allure in October but surprisingly good on Wonder last night as an example. I usually enjoy the Indian food. The chocolate hazelnut cake & chocolate molten cake (very similar) have become recent favorites of mine & my wife’s. Opinions can’t hurt but I’d order whatever looks appealing to you & if you don’t like it you can always order something else or get food from somewhere else.

2nd time sailing with Captain Rob.

Ya know, I’m not sure if there was a live DJ or it was just an automated music track but the music was pretty much the same as far as volume. We don’t find it loud where we sit but that sorta thing is subjective.

Waiting for top tier event. We rarely bother going but had time to kill before Mason Jar. It’s in Studio B for some reason. Thought it was usually in the Aqua Theater.

And ELF though I know you don’t love it like many of us. I’m happy with any ship that has those 2 venues.

Doubly lucky with Labadee cancelled. Some ships who were supposed to be alone now have company later this week from re-routed Labadee itineries. That said, I was there 3X with Indy/Freedom & it wasn’t bad (neither Oasis class ofc). Hideaway also helps now too. That said, love being there alone & Wonder is actually alone quite a bit. Scheduling quirk in my favor. We’re alone again twice this summer (as of now).

Crisis averted. @GatorCruiser was kind enough to offer to grab my wife some chocolate croissants from the SL but they were out in the CL today.

So many people say this. It’s bizarre that the steakhouse would have the worst filet… especially since I’ve enjoyed filet from 3 other venues & I’m not even a huge filet fan… I prefer some fat in my steak like a ribeye.

My wife did but the pic is on her phone. She added a piece of brownie too.

Might have been heat stroke. I have no explanation. MDR Italian night was unexpectedly good. Arancini (forgot a pic) was crispy & tasty, lasagna actually had meat & wasn’t mushy, & even my wife loved the chocolate hazelnut cake. Neither of us tasted any hazelnut. It was very similar to the molten chocolate cake which she loved on Allure. Thanks for the recommendation @FionaMG ! Apologies for the missing bites. Waiting for Name That Tune: 80’s and trying a “Metalliquor”

Serious lack of eating today. Heat is one thing that kills my appetite & I was too hot to stuff myself at CocoCay. I didn’t even have a funnel cake. That’s unheard of for me. We got back on the ship, showered, cooled off (the a/c is insanely strong in our cabin), & destroyed a small crowd at cartoon theme song trivia (it was nearly all 80s/90s stuff). We gave away one of the highlighters we won to a young boy & went back to the cabin to relax. I planned to hit up ELF but dozed off instead. I needed it but now I’ll be making up for lack of food with CL snacks, MDR Italian night, WJ & Sorrentos… I’d rather have ELF tbh but we’ll see what I find. Nothing really planned after dinner. Still have plenty of vouchers to use.

Missed this earlier. Tell Kenny to send some down to the basement so Alan’s daughter can enjoy her cruise!

Will do my best since @GatorCruiseronly mentioned like 2 items. Methinks he cared more about the bourbon than the food. No judgment of course. I liked it better here when it was cool in October. Feels hotter than it was supposed to be. Think I’ve had 8 cups of mango water so far.

Little from column A, little from column B? Nah, I don’t think so. I’m not a big drinker but 4 spread out over the whole day shouldn’t be a problem. We were going to finish the night with mudslides at the headliner show but there was no server nearby so I have a fridge full of strawberry lemonade Trulys now (couldn’t let my wife’s vouchers go to waste). She had a strawberry daiquiri here at CocoCay at least. Beginning to wonder what the heck we’re going to do with 10 after this but we’ll figure something out.

No food/drink pics from CocoCay, sorry. Too hot & fighting a headache from lack of sleep. It’s very warm & sunny. @asquared17 You have converted me from Tobasco Chipotle to Cholula. You’re right, it is a tiny bit thicker.

The fruit danish was mine. She got a plain croissant since there wasn’t chocolate. We usually do ask with mixed results. But I agree if there are any to be found they will get them. I’ll ask tomorrow if they’re still missing. We have Mason Jar brunch though so don’t think we’ll be eating breakfast.

Thanks. Hopefully no more bumps in the road (besides overeating which is a given). Enjoy the water park!
