    Pookie got a reaction from SweetPea in Oasis of the Seas - Star Class - Royal Genie   
    My thoughts were caught by the mountain of food entering the suite while I was blogging and also distracted by the fact that I was ravenous and wondering How Could That Possibly Be, which caused me to forget to add some visual bling to the last post.
    My focus is now back to its laser sharpness having had breakfast and a couple of bellinis.  I did ask they they ease up on the amount of food.  I hate to see waste. 
    Here are some shots from yesterday and a few from this morning:

    Recap of day two:
    Pure unadulterated FUN.
    Breakfast and Starbucks brought to suite. Went walkabout, shopped, inspected several bars for alcohol content throughout the day, swimming, lounging on the afterdeck ( suite sun deck, which has been changed to only include sky, star and pinnacle members, had a Super Mario sighting, Playmakers lunch, hot dog for second lunch, lounged on our balcony with cocktails brought to the suite, and dinner at Giovannis where Allan came to chat, then another cake showed up for Delaney.  The waitstaff all greeted us by name.
    WHAT A GREAT DAY!

    It is all fixed!  And it looks more pleasing to the eye than the knife and fork?

    Never underestimate the power of redneck ingenuity.  The divider to the next suite squeaks at incredible decimals.  Waiting until a decent hour to let Allan know and see if something can be done.  
     
    It sounds like a nest of about 27 baby pterodactyls chirping in hungry angst..

    Currently rocking back and forth gently.  Awesome for sleeping. The divider between us and the next cabin was squeaking extremely loudly so we went out there and stuffed a towel between the handrail and the divider. Problem temporarily solved until they can either weld or replace?
    Royal has gone above and beyond our expectations at this point!
    i had asked that the room filters be changed and they assured us 3 times, different people each time, that they were down. Daughter has severe asthma.
    Pre cruise I had asked for two feather body pillows, granted.  They are awesome!
    Asked for binoculars, 3 were waiting!
    i did bring a hammock, we asked if we could put it up and were told no.  No big deal to us..  I’m sure it’s for safety reasons but also they probably don’t want their ship looking like the Clampets have moved in. We already look like Jed, Granny and Ellie May....?
    Being as there are three of us, we asked for a third lounger and they brought one of the ones from the pool area.  
    Allan asked if we wanted snacks for the Aqua 80s show and they brought an entire tray of SunChips, Lays and Doritos?
    Everyone was all seated in the Aqua theatre and then they cancelled the show.  If we would have been in the crowd, I probably would have been irritated by that.
    breakfast will be here within the half hour.  I’m STARVING???

    Because I am already in a self induced food coma (still good for more 
    alcohol though), my last post today will be a highlight reel of sail away . 
    I can tell you currently we are rocking and rolling with strong winds and high seas.
    Pretty confident there will be no Aqua 80s show tonight.

    Got him to do a selfie with me

    middle of magnified circle is my hubster waving at the Port of Miami camera..?

    lots of money sitting idle

    We were set up for Uber this morning.  Two drivers cancelled because the cops wouldn’t let them through to the hotel.  One persevered and made it through. Had to loop around and come through the tunnel. Made it to the terminal at 10:03, hubster fought off any and all porters trying to make off with our luggage, stating he was under strict orders from me. ?Made the guy who ended up as our porter show identification and swear on a bible under penalty of some slight mutilation that he was indeed a star porter.
    We turned down Joyce taking us aboard wanting to wait for Allen and to also absorb some of the ambience of the lovely suite lounge in the terminal.  Two minutes later Allen was there and he just awesome!
    Guess what was waiting in our room!

    Day 7:
    Time for the suitcases to show their ugly mugs again.?
    we decided to forego breakfast and just have coffee and bellinis this morning.
    All access tour was very good.  Different from on the Allure.  We liked that one better.  This particular tour started in the dining room(each stop someone from that area gave a speech) , then galley, I-95, laundry, then the bridge.  2 1/2 hours
    Izumi for lunch.  Very good as always!
    Back for more packing.
    B-I-N-G-O - I was down to one number for the free cruise.  I’m not that lucky.
    Tried the pizza at Sorrentos.  Not too bad.
    Lazed on the balcony for awhile watching a glorious sunset.
    Dinner on the balcony, a menagerie of our favorite foods from Chops, 150 Central and Giovannis.
    Dispersed tips to our room attendant Paolo, Room Service attendant Carlos, and most of all our Genie, Allan.

    And we’re back
    Suitcases lined up in our suite for pick up at 7:00
    As soon as daughter gets around we will head to Coastal Kitchen for breakfast and Allan will pick us up and whisk us off the ship and back to reality.
    The Explorer went cruising by this morning.  Cannot remember if I mentioned we had Next Cruise come to our suite on the 2nd day and we booked the ABC islands for January 2021 on Explorer ?

    Day 6:
    We had breakfast and drinks delivered this morning then off to the Dolphin and Manatee Encounter.  There we had a ton of fun. I kissed a girl dolphin and a boy manatee.  I preferred the girl dolphin, so I don’t know what that says about me ?
    Would not recommend lunch at the encounter. ?
    we purchased the photo shoot and it turned out awesome!
    grabbed a taxi and went down town for a real lunch and shopping, taxi back and port shopping.  Had enough of the shopping
    back on board, drinks and cookies waiting for us.
    cleaning up for a CK dinner!
