Excursion today was plane spotting at Maho Beach. It was really cool seeing the planes come in overhead and Sunset bar and Grill was really cool. We then hit front street where I went to my favorite bourbon place in the world Guhlomars and purchased some bourbon and cigars. 

DS is packed and DD is not. She says, "I put some outfits together in my head."

Western omelet & blueberry smoothie from Solarium Bistro.

Waiting for chocolate croissants in the CL. Almost 7am, no one here but me.
Weather looks beautiful through the virtual window. We’ll be gone most of the day on Captain Bob’s speedboat snorkel excursion.

Picky person pizza…

Hello! Just wanted to update on this.
When it got cancelled I sent them one email, and Later when I did not hear anything I sent a new one. 
About a month after cancellation i got a final NO from RC Norwegian customer service on refund for my flight, even if KLM and travel insurance said RC should refund me. I was not happy but I put it away, however 2 weeks ago the US customer service replied to my 2nd email, and confirmed that they had talked to KLM and that RC would refund me 3900kr (380$) for my flight, and today I got the refund. I must say (sorry If I am prejudiced) that I never thought US customer service would be more pro customer than the Norwegian one, taking in regard we have one of the worlds strictest customer protection acts, however they proved me wrong. And this has definitely made me view RC in a totally different light, and made me look forward to my upcoming cruise with Oasis a lot more than I did, and I am sure I will spend way more than what it cost them to refund me in the future, and ofcourse talk good of them to followers, customers etc. so It will definitely be worth it for them. So a happy ending to a sad story! 

Just think... next cruise, you'll be included in the D+ figures! 🥳
Is it today or was it yesterday that you hit the big 175?

If that's the 12th of April, Coco Cay already has Icon and Mariner, so you definitely wouldn't be going there. 😕

I’ve been to NOLA every few years since 2012 and always stay in the quarter at the Hotel Monteleone (family tradition passed down from my parents). It’s a gorgeous, historical hotel and is home to the famous carousel bar! The quarter during daylight hours is just as grimy as it’s always been but I tend to do my sightseeing by day so we only do the rounds after dinner for entertainment purposes. Frenchmen St is the best for live music! 
If you’re gonna traipse out to a plantation, make sure it’s Whitney, as it’s the only former plantation site in Louisiana that is presented from the perspective of the enslaved people, not the slave owners. May I also suggest the 1850 House Museum off of Jackson Square. I think it’s only $5 admission but the house remains set up as it would’ve been in 1850! Super cool.

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.

Have a wonderful and beautiful memory cruise. I have said many times before, this blog is expensive. Now I have Symphony on my list for 2026.

Breakfast this am. Windjammer special brought back to enjoy on balcony. Food was fine but view was sublime 

Got my first sea day T-shirt ready for action. 
 

Glad to see you've got your appetite back. 😋
But does this mean you didn't get 🍦 and chocolate chip 🍪 at Coco Cay??? 😭

Hi Fiona,
I read your live blog and found your photos and ratings very helpful, thank you for that! I actually posted my question with your post in mind, to see if other people may have tried different dishes.

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

Hooked tonight. 
apps: oysters Rockefeller and raw oysters 

me: blackened captains platter 
Wife: surf 🏄‍♂️ and turf 
interestingly the filet here was better than Chops
