Also, does anybody else fill out their room service hanger while eating their late night snacks from Cafe Promenade and Sorrentos, or is that just a me thing?
Always gotta think ahead or you might starve on a cruise ship..just sayin'.

In case you were wondering...CVS receipts are a mile long, even in Puerto Rico.
The haul...just to assure the stinky pits won't happen again, got plenty of options
And since the UDP is cutting into my sit in the Diamond Lounge and squirrel away cans of Coke Zero time....
It tastes better in a bottle anyways.

Does anyone else still squeal like a kid when they walk into the room and see a new towel animal or is it just me?

Now it's time for the latest round of photographic evidence of my gluttony!
Chops bread in special exclusive Thanksgiving turkey leg shapes for our holiday sailing
Tuna tartare artisically turned as to not see the bite I took before I remembered my faithful followers
Shrimp cocktail -1..dang my mother is quick.
Meat party!!!
Bone in ribeye
Filet with meat tartar sauce, photobombed by asparagus..dry, no salt, no butter, no fun. Thanks mom ?
They haven't started decorating for the holidays yet. I helped.
Also, found the butter for my aspargus.
My steak tasted faintly like a Christmas tree. Otherwise it was decent; more impressive than my prior Chops experiences. Not saying much as we got the special @WAAAYTOOO treatment with barely lukewarm food. Still on #teamGiovannis when it comes to the best filet. Coastal Kitchen didn't get a fair shake as we are in genpop this sailing.
No dessert for me as I couldn't finish my steak and thus I don't deserve dessert.
My mother didn't finish either as she didn't gnaw off all the meat from the bone. But she doesn't play by the rules.
Warm chocolate cake
She forced me to order a dessert so she could try two..but buttered asparagus is bad for you ?♀️
Key lime pie
All this washed down with the swill I affectionately ordered as the free Diamond red stuff. Merlot, Cabernet they asked...I just nodded and said the stuff that you eat with steak. It tasted like wine that people who know nothing about wine would drink. It swirled around the glass just like the expensive stuff the table next to us ordered.
This is night 3 in a row that I ordered red wine but then realized the entree I really wanted was fish. I had no choice but to order red meat as to not upset any nearby Pinnacles for wining wrong. We all know they are the experts at wining. ?

TAPAN follow-up response makes me feel good that it's going to the ship email contacts at least.

After Johnnny Rockets, I ended up at the Diamond Lounge where I ran into @Matt and his family. We commisserated on being #teamnoDX for the cruise and swapped stories of the day. We have a Giovannis reservation and Diamond Lounge snacks are serving as pre-dinner, so I'm doing it right.

The actual coaster was up a short path. You are seated in a bobsled style car that operates with handbrakes. Kids have to be older than 12 to ride solo and they can only be the passenger in a car. It's pretty simple to operate, push forward on the brake levers to release the brake and accelerate and pull back to engage the brakes.
I had an absolute blast. I ran through it once to get a feel for it and then ran through subsequent times to take photos. Rules are you have to have everything tight enough not to fly off (hats ans sunglasses) and you can't take bags with you. You leave them at the start platform.
The coaster takes you up a long hill that ends right next to where the zipline starts.
And then you're off!
It goes through twists and turns and gives you sneak peeks of a great view of the ship. I imagine that's the view the zipliners get.

Last time in Nassau (Feb 2019), we needed to have photo ID in Addition to our seapass cards to get back to the pier area from town.

That's way to healthy looking food for a cruise, ha.

The food order is just a show to justify the pot of goodness. I would show you my Windjammer plate but I tripped over a table and it accidentally all fell in my mouth before I could take a photo.

For this to make sense you need to know that we have recently been on Adventure of the Seas.
We were sat watching the TV last night, our eldest little girl who is 9 was sat watching videos on YouTube, all of a sudden she takes her earphones off and says “mam, dad do you know that Allure of the Seas, Oasis of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas and Symphony of the Seas are much better than our ship” the reason she gave was that they had a robot that makes you drinks, made us both laugh.

On our first cruise, I actually lost 3 pounds.
As a man of girth, I'm ashamed.
