Here’s a hint. 
I guess I posted the pics prematurely; he’s in the editing phase now. 🤣
 

Yes but when the officer doesn’t stand or leave his seat it’s not a very engaging experience so I feel it cuts down on questions.  
 
Wienies. I will repeat what you said. SMH

The new changes to the photo process are great! I selected my 100 pics and was immediately able to download them in the app.  Here are some highlights of our shenanigans or as @WAAAYTOOO called us #starclassbehavingbadly. 🤣🤣
One picture is not obvious, so let me know if you see it.  It took me a minute to see what was going on.  🤦‍♀️ I knew something happened because the photographer was laughing.  The 3 photos we now call “crouching tiger hidden dragon” started off with good intentions. The photographer asked Lindsay to crouch and then crouch more. We all assumed our legs wouldn’t show and then we see the end result. 🤣🤣 Pictures can get boring night after night so this kept the guys happy and cooperative.  We have laughed more at some of these picture's and will for years to come.  Our group, has become very recognizable to the photographers. 🤣🤣 A few stopped by as I was picking my 100 just to see them again.  





 

 

Bingo! If you zoom in it’s easier to see. Who carries around Chiclets with them. 🤦‍♀️

Yup!! 🤣🤣

Chiclet teeth?

We definitely need to do star class at the same time what a blast we would all have.
 

Would it be teeth?

Yup 😒

Shane did ours. He too did well, and then the bridge crew answered any technical questions, of which i had one so was glad of the opportunity. Did they have any one to pass of technical questions or were you SOL?
We GITCC'd embarkation and disembarkation too and told them if it was a CBP issue, they needed to negotiate better. I see it did a lot of good! 

Maybe since it’s a paid excursion they bring in an officer to do it. Just another star class downgrade IMO.  

Star Class Bridge Tour 
Another change; the genies are now required to do the tour. The officer no longer does it.  There is a 3 officer minimum on the bridge and taking one to do the tour, could lead to distraction/safety issue. Berty did a great job but there is obviously technical questions from guests he is not able to answer.  

Debarkation Process 
Well the tumors are true; the star class debarkation process has changed. Berty said their team were told the change came about as a result of a CBP requirement.  Something about large amounts of luggage should go through the crew gangway vs guest gangway. Who really knows 🤷‍♀️ but it’s GITCC. The policy requires star class to put their luggage out in the hall by midnight tonight. Berty said we could put ours out by 6:30am tomorrow before heading to CK for breaky.  It seems strange that self carry is still allowed but star class luggage with porter isn’t. Whatever….we will get it out by 6:30am.  Berty will accompany us through facial recognition and to the luggage collection area before handing us off. 

Just to clarify, the 3 officers manning the bridge never left their assigned stations.  The 2nd officer in charge answered a couple questions while seated in his workspace.  

On past tours we had access to behind where the officers sit and they would take pictures with us and answer any questions.  This time that space behind the officers was blocked off. The 2nd officer answered a couple questions but they remained in their chair, interactions with guests were limited and the officer didn’t engage with us like they use to.  It was a different experience than what we were accustom to, but ok.  It’s GITCC

Backtracking a bit…..
The day started off quite lazy. Everyone slept in, D17 slept the longest as usual. I spent a lot of time in this chair by the window this morning. It’s a great little space to just chill and look out at the water. 

Other random stuff from this morning…


Around noon, we finally made our way to walk along the beach. 

As you know from my previous post, we got stuck at Surf Style for quite some time. 

Lunch consisted of a small snack of Pizza and fries from 411 South Bar & Grill. 


Now back to relax a bit before heading back to La Bamba 😋

I believe it was a detailed review of the WJ.

You bet! 
I have proposed the idea already! 🙂

Does it mean another Mexican dinner  tonight after Hubby's shopping expedition?

I was thinking it means a trip to the Next Cruise Desk tomorrow 😂

We have ventured out of the hotel. Happening now 😳

I finalized my 100 digital prints and should be able to upload some of the “starclassbehavingbadly” ones without the watermarks.  Widdling down pictures from 250 to 100 is not easy for me. I wish they would have left it as the unlimited photo package.  Another thing GITCC.
