On the AoS July 10th sailing and we just found out we’re staying moored overnight tonight…. But they’re removing the gangway and Coco Cay is “closed” tonight.
 
Back ashore tomorrow at 0800!!  ? 

According to two of our Insiders, @mpoole3 and @Big Dawg Ron, Adventure did the same thing last Tuesday night as well when they were on.

The Beach Club was fantastic. I echo@joshgates  sentiment on how phenomenal the friendliness and how crazy good the service has been everywhere.  We are looking forward to heading back tomorrow morning.

What a fantastic morning.  Most of it was spent on the pool deck just reading and people watching, with occasional bouts of wandering around the ship to stretch my legs.  I can not overemphasize how amazing the service is.  The weather's perfect, maybe a little hot but what else can you expect for The Bahamas in July.  With a nice breeze though you don't even really notice it.  Going to grab a quick shower and some coffee before heading to a couple of spa treatments. 
Nice view off the balcony this morning
Grandeur is docked next to us, I hope they're getting her into shape for the December trips
 

Having a pre-pre-dinner drink at Blue Moon.  ?

Didn't end up taking too many pictures yesterday, well, didn't end up taking too many pictures that I'd subject you to that is.  
Checkin at the hotel was the complete opposite of the airport, they have it down.  I showed up at 11:50 and by 11:55 I was on the bus headed to the pier.  It still hadn't really hit me that I was getting back on a cruise until I was at the pool bar getting my first drink, but it finally did.  Woohoo!
Overall yesterday was pretty uneventful for me, went and made dinner reservations for the week, grabbed a quick lunch in Chops and started exploring the ship. Ok, I started trying to get a drink in every bar I could find.  Grabbed dinner at Izumi with a friend and then just hit up the Schooner bar for the rest of the night with some people from the FB group.  
I can honestly say that this is one of the strangest but best cruises I've been on so far.  The service is insane, there are no lines, no waits, everyone is extremely friendly and happy, and they're so proactive about it.  It also feels empty, it's a different vibe with only about a third of the people on, the noise and energy of the venues is different.  Not in a bad way, just different.  So far though, loving it.
I'll have to check what I've got stuff set to with Flickr, but till I figure out how to get a better quality version to show here clicking through to there gives a higher res copy.
Today I have nothing planned.  We're in Freeport, I'll probably spend most of the morning/afternoon reading and just enjoying being unplugged for awhile. 

We’re working to have a drink in every bar this afternoon…. Schooner now!!  Goombay w/Kraken!!  ?

We’re in Boleros now.  KrakenColada for me!!

I’m not a Gin guy….  But, anything else works!

And if anyone wants to keep track, according to my account the current gin and tonic is number 12 for today.  They will regret selling me this drink package one way or another.

Thanks! I wasn’t sure how it’d go over, but I love black and white photography, for the last year so so I’ve been shooting it almost exclusively. The camera I brought with me doesn’t have a color filter so it’s the only option ?  Anything you see in color from time this week will be from my phone.

@joshgates, that is so cool that you're shooting in black and white. I can't remember the last time I saw photos taken that way, outside of some select shots from my wedding day 23 years ago. I forgot how striking b&w shots can be.

Hahaha, same! Right now it’s a coconut mojito in boleros.  I’m determined to hit every bar before dinner though.  Not many photos yet, just enjoying being on a ship for the first time in. 560 days.
