Turns out handcuffs was my favorite person on the cruise .  She's a casino degenerate and was at over 9000 points for this cruise.

i’m literally just here for the gems like this

i just figured it was utopia’s version of the empire supper club. 

looking forward to seeing more about this concept!

Overheard in the Crown Lounge tonight: "If I die, I want to die on a cruise ship. Throw me in the furnace and get another mile out of the ship."

Not sure that's how it works, sir.

oh my SWEET LORD.

GOODBYE.

apparently there was a Pool Bar fight yesterday that sent someone to medical. And those involved in the fight are going to be kicked off in Cozumel today

holy what the!!!

also the person talking about being regular… i had to read that several times. 

i still can’t figure out if they’re talking about their duck hunting abilities OR their bathroom habits. 

….what a time.

clearly i am missing a lot by not being on FB

the people watching on a cruise trumps all other vacations I have experienced. 

this, the sunshine, and the champagne are what sell me on a cruise

Handcuff lady is not the biggest fan of chatty Alaska. Alaska is one of those that has a story about everything. Handcuff lady told me she is going to try to come up with the most outrageous thing she has ever done to see if Alaska can one up it. I can not wait.

and this is why we are all here!!!!

I LOVE THE MARIO PICTURE!!

also i can’t tell if time is passing or i am getting older (probably both) — but your kids look so much older to me this time around???

gosh. time is FLYING.

I'm feeling dumb for not realizing that the outside is also metal but I also have those awesome super strong clips you recommended and we've clipped a few things to the back of the chairs (which are SO much nicer than the deck chairs on Allure)

there are a few random places outside that aren’t magnetic — but you’ll figure that out pretty quickly. 

obviously if it’s hella windy/you’re at sea (or they’re doing cleaning) maybe don’t put EVERYTHING out there. a lot of times i will hang my dress for the night so that the wrinkles will release in the humidity.

and now there are raisins to worry about

AT WHAT POINT DOES THE MADNESS END. 

i usually hang my items outside to dry… with magnetic hooks to hold them down if it’s particularly windy. otherwise they’d be wet forever the way we keep our cabin icebox temps

i LOVE your ducks!!!! how cute!!!!

now i am off to check out the magnetic dudes. 

curse you, bezos!! (jk we love it)

once on board, head directly to the schooner bar and order a red stripe. 

BAM!

you are on vacation!!

Don't talk about my homeland beer. It's better with spicy food.

i love red stripe as my traditional “you’re on a cruise!” drink!! i always have to get it from the schooner bar to kick off our cruise

Then he'll be lugging 5 suitcases along every trip!! 

ah but he won’t be paying suitcase fees with the airline, so it’s a wash
