I think I would have rubbed the owners nose in it, just to be sure he didn't have doubts of said accident.  Especially when he chose to ignore the whole event.

At my work office there is a service animal for a ex-Military person connected with a PTSD issue. The dog is very well behaved to the point that you really don't notice the animal at all. A very well trained dog that never interacts with her people but is around people all day long.  We had lawyers come and talk to us before the dog was brought up and we were told not to interact with the dog. It was more for the comfort of the service-member who wouldn't want to talk about their service related injuries. They told us to no pay attention to the dog and just go about our normal duties. It's hard for me because I am such a dog lover and the dog is really cute.
When you hear about these kinds of events you know the dog is not a service animal and is not trained; it is just a pet that someone is trying to pass off as a service animal. And, that person is already a very selfish person just by their actions so that he didn't respond to a dressing-down is of no surprise.
 

Oasis in November, lady very over weight in a powerchair which was extremely big, she a had a very small dog on her lap, while in the schooner bar she lowered the dog by its lead to the floor where the dog did it’s business she then pulled the dog back by the lead chocking the dog and drove away not even informing crew, people were discussed and some actually confronted her, she started to rant and rave how she had a disability and the crew are there to tend to her every need and should clean it up. ? we live in a world where people pretend to be something to get extras and real people miss out..

And finally.......That BODY PILLOW we ordered from the pillow menu......
 
the thing is hilariously massive.  Pumpkin and I felt like we had a third person in bed with us....(which might have been fun a couple decades ago haha!)
kidding!

Well I do need a place to spend my retirement years

I went to Key West last year and really liked it. It's a very small community of locals surrounded by a lot of people that go for the weather. And, then there Kermits Key Lime Pies - oh my the best I have ever had. The only problem I had was it was not enough time. We arrived at 0700 and left by 1400 (2PM)...just not enough time but I will be back.

I have a cruise the latter part of April and just put in my bids for the Royal Up program. Looking at my cruise it doesn't show any suites available so I am not thinking I have a high chance of getting one unless someone drops out. I have read where it has worked for some and not for others. I just plan on going into the room they gave me, and if that changes and I get a suite, then that works too.

Your children look so happy in all the pictures. As an older person now I think it would have done my heart proud to see the children having an awesome time with smiles  on their little faces.

I have really enjoyed this blog and I have come here daily to look what your family is up to. I'm not sure I will ever travel at the Star Class level, unless I do it as a my retirement cruise, but that is still a ways off (7 years).  I am impressed with your Genie, and I am not even there daily to see all that they can do; however, I think you have provided valuable information to those that are contemplating doing this on a cruise and what to expect. On the downside for genies, maybe yours is one of the best, and the others better up their game to get close to yours abilities because this blog will be seen by anyone that googles Royal Caribbean Star Class or genies.
I am leaving on a Cruise the end of April on Independence of the Seas, out of Ft. Lauderdale,  and this blog made me think about my cruise every day, as if I wouldn't have anyways.
Glad to see you guys had fun on your cruise. I hope your children know how well they had. Again, now the downside they will expect this every time for a cruise. ?

We get hair dryers?!?!   Score!!! ?

All I can afford is my C&A cookies heated up using the hair dryer that comes with my interior cabin.  Does that count?

As a person who consumes these blogs I love the detail as it makes you feel like you are there.

I have a cruise in March 2020 out of Puerto Rico. I originally booked the cruise in late 2018 and have thus far rebooked the cruise three times and now I'm up to $400 onboard credit (OBC) and the cruise has dropped about $600 in total price. All this was done through my TA at MEI, Michelle Cunningham (she's a gem) and kept my same room and nothing has changed but the price. Working with a TA is so much easier than fighting RC, and who ever answers the phone that moment, when I used to call for answers.

Hmmm ... started to tie the stripper pole and the BOGO theme together and decided the result may not  be safe for a public board .... will revisit when not drinking and see if it feels safer to post then.

You may want to call Royal Caribbean's Advertising Department and sell them on this new terminology  - Stripper Pole Room of Adventure...it may be worth a free cruise for you 

You had my attention at stripper pole. I was reading this early in the morning, 0450,  just minding my own business, when I read stripper pole, wait, what is SpeedNoodes up to now? Then I went back and looked at those room and yes, there is a pole in the middle of the room, stripper pole, hmm...I wonder if the wife would oblige me...oh, what am I thinking, that's not going to happen ?
