That pretty much sums up what happened 😂 I will say though, Shane is truly one of a kind. 

Scroll back a few posts. I think that was it lol
No. He is going home in a few weeks and then headed to SY in May. 

Shane won't happen to be on Harmony in July will he? 😍  What an amazing surprise!

Afternoon report:
With lunch done, I headed to Starbucks for my daily Strawberry refresher. Then Hubby said he was going back to the FlowRider, D17 is reading on the suite sundeck, D15 is chilling with her books in the cabin. 
I had to go to the suite sundeck to grab the sunscreen from D17 to bring to Hubby at the FlowRider (see, still playing home genie) so I grabbed some pics of the crowds on the suite sundeck. Not bad. Perhaps it got too hot for everyone . I will try to go again earlier over the next two days. 

This blog is amazing, I can't thank you enough. The joy this last photo gave me, just wow!
Congratulations to YOU the parents and your amazing high school graduate D17. I'm sure this young lady is destined for greatness. 👩‍🎓🎓
It is an honor joining your family on this oh so special sailing. 
Cheers to you, what an incredible family you are!!!!

I think we definitely got the “genie special” this afternoon! I have to say, I am not easily surprised but I did not see this one coming! 
When getting drinks with @recogneyes, she asked me if we had been to the pub. I said no and that we are not huge fans of the pub in general. She said we have to at least pop by for a  visit to see the pub signer because he is really good.
Later then evening, we ran into @recogneyes again at playmakers, and Stephen, the pub signer was there. She introduced us and we said will try to find time to see him. If you are wondering where I am going with this, keep reading…
Today is a sea day, and Shane overheard us saying last night that we might do El Loco today. He suggested that we do a delivery because it might be busy and our kids never get anywhere early. When we came back to our room to eat, this is what we found. 
 

So great getting caught up in person…love our conversations. We cover a lot of topics in a short period of time. Lavender martini in the schooner bar can be our tradition when we meet up again…hopefully not too far in the future. 

Also, alpha, alpha, alpha deck 7 stateroom 😕

Proof that I do leave the room lol

Current situation:

This text was a nice way to end off the night. We don’t always do genie gifts. But when you and your genie go back to 2019, you cannot show up empty handed. We gave this to Shane on the first night we arrived. He sent us this tonight.

(Note: that genie lamp is not from us. Neither is that mouse lol)

After dinner we went to see Frozen in Time. I got a good laugh at myself here because I now know that I spoke too soon when I said we don’t encounter shenanigans.
Shane had reserve two seats beside D17 and whoever it was for did not end up showing. Towards show start time, Shane removes the SC banners. Like hawks, two guys swoop in and ask Shane if they can have the seats. Shane tells them go ahead. D17 later pointed out that these are the same guys who did this at Aqua 80 try #1 a few nights ago.
Anyhow, this is where it got crazy. So the two guys sit down and another guy behind them starts yelling at them. The two guys start yelling back saying they have every right to sit there because they asked (which they did). Then all sorts of swearing and name calling begin. We told D17 to get ready to duck down lol.
These 3 guys caused such a commotion and neither would back down. Everyone was now watching. They basically did not stop swearing and name calling until the show began. So extra and such an overreaction on both parts.

Dinner was at Chops tonight. I love Chops. I think about the mushroom soup and lobster all the time. My soup was delicious! Something was slightly off with the lobster. I am not sure what? Almost tasted like it had sat out on a warmer? It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t great either. Dessert was delicious as always, but my Bavarian coffee was odd too. This is a hot drink. It is always served in a glass mug with a spoon. Mine came in a plastic cup with a straw. Very odd. Freeloaders loved their plate of croutons though! 

Where did I leave off? Oh yes, just before dinner they made the announcement about Labadee being a no go. Then while Hubby was getting ready for dinner, we lose water again. I cannot remember if I told you guys that part already? I have no clue what is going on with the water system on this ship, but 2 days in a row now where the water is just gone at a time when all sorts of people are trying to get ready for dinner 😬

I have no idea, but I can tell you that was the exact line that caught my attention too! I am going to ask around and try to find out. 

I am 99% sure I will never get a chance to sail in this suite again either. Trying to soak up all our moments. 

Captain just made an announcement. I did not hear it, but Shane texted. Labadee is cancelled tomorrow. Safety/security. Day at sea instead. 

I'm here waiting to find out what the Genie surprise is! 😁

After the SC session, I met up with Shane for another coffee at Starbucks. Then we headed off to Izumi for lunch. Izumi was yummy, a bit slow, but not a big deal cause it’s not like we have anywhere to go.


SC food coma has finally set it. Everyone is stuffed, and napping 😂

You and I both! But now he says it might happen at any time 🤷🏻‍♀️
So when Shane saw D15 at lunch earlier he asked how her day was going. She said she grabbed breakfast in the WJ (cause my kids cannot wake up early enough for CK). I caught the look and thought of you right away! We all had good laugh. Then hubby asked Shane if he could reserve a table at the WJ. He said he certainly could but perhaps a delivery of WJ food would be more enjoyable 😂

I'm here waiting to find out what the Genie surprise is! 😁
