Random observations. 
The ship is packed so it should come as no surprise that the ship is running hot and the elevators are a nightmare. It’s still annoying. Instead of up charging for holiday menus Lindsay said they should sell express elevator passes. 🤣 Maybe this idea should GITCC @SweetPea 😆 
We have spent more time on our deck than any other cruise.  We didn’t go to the royal theatre Christmas singing show at 9pm because we had a feeling it would be hot from the 7pm show. 😨 We are grateful we can spend time in our suite and on our deck. ❤️❤️

Let’s catch up. 
Lunch was at Izumi’s. We tried all our favourites; dumplings, udon noodles, California rolls, spicy shrimp and crispy tuna.  It was all really good.  I have noticed service has been a bit off.  Servers distracted, rushing around and looking overwhelmed at times. I imagine the full ship is a factor. 

Supper was at Chops.  It was very busy in there and it showed in service and food quality.  I was doing recon on the holiday menu and noticed a surf and turf option with champagne.  
The sides and my lobster were lukewarm, my ribeye was just ok. The server took my baked potatoe and replaced it. You know it’s bad when the butter doesn’t melt.  It was all ok but we felt rushed. In and out in under 75 minutes is not the norm.  Berty said he hasn’t seen Chops that busy and will pass my feedback to the manager.  

Ok not to try to one up @WAAAYTOOO but check this out 🤣🤣 Honestly who would wear these 

Good morning from somewhere in the Gulf. The view may look the same as yesterday but it definitely feels different. Way more humidity. 😬 My hair!! 😩 
Will check back after my steam. 

I love waking up to morning GIFs from Berty ❤️ #itsthesmallthings

Good to know. Definitely not done right. They tasted like normal fries.  

Here it is !

Thankfully the AC works great in our suite. It’s nice and cold in here. But the public spaces are another story. Bodies generate heat but this sailing seems particularly hot. 

Adult comedy show 
This was a different experience. There was very little laughing with the first comedian. It actually became a bit awkward. He was funny but not funny enough to laugh if that makes sense.  The second guy was slightly better but I don’t think either comedians left the stage feeling like they put on a great show.  It was not at all what we have come to expect with the adult comedy show.  But we enjoyed the popcorn, drinks and our seats.  Berty put us on the couch which is a perfect location.  Far enough back not to star in the comedy show.  😆

Christmas Cake 
Another cake ❤️❤️ Even if we don’t eat them all, I always enjoy trying a slice. 

😂 embarrassed to say that I know a few who might 
Yay!!! I literally think of that soup all the time. And if you did not taste the truffle oil in the fries, then they did not do it right. That is usually what sets them apart.

Oh @Lovetocruise2002 I forgot to mention Lundsay tried the mushroom soup for the first time.  He loved it.  And for the truffle lovers I got the truffle fries but what am I missing.  @asquared17 They seem like normal fries.

It’s a beautiful day. Currently 25C and sunny.   I didn’t check the temperature this morning during the flowrider session but if I had to guess it was around 19/20C at 7:45am. Flowrider water is warm and yes people are in the pools.
