Dinner Night 2 in CK: 

Once again, the main menu was the same. But there was a new item that I have never seen before, lobster Mac n Cheese. 
 

 

 

How was the lobster Mac and cheese?  I love a good lobster Mac and cheese.

I would sail in a shoebox..I'm the wrong person to ask

 

Me too!!!!  As I said before, but nobody would take me up on it, I could be the 2nd guest for those traveling solo and just sleep on a bench in Central Park

Hubby is off to flowriding soon, and I plan to chill out for the rest of the afternoon. 

Will be interesting how bad the lines for this are on this ship with only 1 of them. Hoping with their being so many other things it won’t be too bad.

This live blog is dang exciting. I love seeing the pics and the impressions from y’all . Keep it up , this is good stuff. 

Agree. And I think we will have a record for number of pages for a live blog. At 10 already and not even halfway through the first sea day

Some serious royalcaribbeanblog heavy hitters on that cruise. It would be cool to be there to meet y’all. 

yeah I agree.  I was so close to booking this cruise when they first were released and ended up not doing.  I am so mad at myself.  instead a couple months later I booked a cruise in August.  I blame my wife because she said we had to take the kids and the inaugural for all of us was just too high for me at the time.

Is there a car on the ship like on the Oasis classes? 

No car. Instead there’s a dog peeing on a hydrant. Maybe not as good for family photos

@Matt did not do a very good job of hiding

She will get to it it after first lunch.

I saw her in the Windjammer with my own eyes

Well we need the picture of that for sure. 

Exciting day for you all!!!  Have fun and don’t forget about us sitting here anxiously awaiting to hear all about it. 

@Matt just listened to the podcast.  Sounds like you have extra space on your cruise since the wife isn't going.  What time should I meet you at the terminal

Me walking around Miami later tonight in case @Lovetocruise2002 is somewhere around 

Good thing you’ve already been on the ship and know where the good hiding spots are. You have a full week to avoid her

The luggage tags usually aren’t available until about 21 days before your cruise. Check again on the planner under view more details as it’s closer. The health questions you won’t need to print anything. Just a quick answer on the app the day before.

Aside from my extremely good luck in the casino the first night, my subsequent luck has been abysmal.  I will go home with $4k but I should definitely have just stopped when I won the first time and called it a day.  Frankly, big gambling at this point in the casino year is a complete waste of time and money since the points are going bye-bye at the end of March and there is -0- chance that will reach Signature before then.

so I'm new to the casino royale program and have a question.  I went on a cruise late last year and got about 1900 points on that cruise.  I was given a free cruise certificate which I am using Mar 1.  My expectation is I will get the 600 points needed to reach prime on that cruise.  I know the point reset April 1, so while my points reset to 0 then, will i still be considered prime from the point on the cruise on Mar 1 I reach 2500 and then all of next year as well?  And then how exactly does the free cruise for being prime work?  Can I book that free cruise on any cruise within the year, or is it from a list of select cruises like the one I got for the March cruise?  Thank you in advance for any insight you can provide.

About that…I think I got permission today for that

 

The plan is working.....

We never made it out of Miami before rush hour started so it has taken us a while to drive back to Fort Lauderdale. This is the real reason Hubby wanted to return, not just for La Bamba 

Gotta keep him happy for when you break that news to him about the S2S booking

Going to rest up and hit the all access ship tour this afternoon. Should be really interesting. I've never done one before, has anyone here?

I did the All Access tour on Symphony before and it was interesting.  Me being in the restaurant world getting to see the kitchen and coolers and just the shear amount of product they had on hand was quite amazing.  Also thought the laundry room was interesting.

Just landed!! 

Let the Shenanigans begin!!!  La Bamba, here she comes 

Who is this concert that you are seeing so much?  Sounds interesting.

Hubby, as you can probably guess is 0% packed. In fact, he has hit an all time low.

Hubby looked at us and said, “Wait, you mean Friday morning right?” I kid you all not, I cannot make this stuff up!

 

He sounds exactly like my wife. I actually gave her a spreadsheet with all the days she needed to request off for work this year so she could put in the request. My guess is she will still miss some. 

Nice win on that cabana!! 

When going to book a 3 day thermal suite pass for my wife it is asking me to select a time on day 1.  Is there something that happens during that selected time?  I thought it was just a 3 day pass that you could use at any time during the cruise?

My boarding day JOY !!!

 

YIPPEE !!!!  I scored a Royal Flush on Ultimate Texas Hold 'Em on the first night !  This is only the second time I have ever had one.  Dan has NEVER had one.   According to the internet (must be true, then) the odds of getting a RF on UTH is 649,739-to-1.  Here's the truly interesting part.  The LAST time I had a RF in UTH was ALSO on LIB a few years back !  I guess this must be my lucky ship !

The payout on this baby was ~$5500.  I was playing minimum bets.

I have a photo which I will try and upload.  I am having trouble toggling between browser windows so I will try later.

seems like you should be going on liberty more often then!

Hubby came home from work and I broke the news to him.

The conversation went like this:

Hubby: How was your day?

Me: Good. I have great news!

Hubby: You booked the S2S?

 

If this isn’t permission then I don’t know what is . And smart move telling him the RUB got him closer to the flowrider. After that he probably didn’t hear anything you said. That would have been the time to say you booked the S2S
