WAAAYTOOO

No show tonight. We’ve seen it before and did not care for it the first time. Packed all our stuff after dinner. Lissandra is going to meet us in our room at 7:45am. Making the trek back to FLL and fingers crossed for a smooth return home. 

Hmmmm....sounds yummy.  I always ask for EXTRA Sulphur Dioxide !

Isn't that "best Price" guarantee only good for a very limited time ?  Like 48 hours or so ?

None of my cruises have the genie option.

Nothing like that beautiful shower curtain that grabs you and wraps itself around you 🫣 !!!

I beg to differ. Scottish fish and chips is FAR superior to English fish and chips!! 🤣🤣
Chippies (the name for a shop that sells fish and chips) all serve up in different means. Some serve in boxes now, some still put a piece of grease proof paper on what would be newsprint (not printed on, just plain newsprint paper). There is nothing quite like opening a bag of chips and the smell of vinegar hitting you smack in the face, it’s a very comforting smell 🤣
 
Also, can I just state for the record, no matter what anyone tells you, Scottish people do not regularly eat deep fried mars bars. If you ever find yourself in chippie that sells them, run. I have reached 40 years living in Scotland and could count on one hand the number of chippies I have encountered that have sold this. It’s performative for tourists. 
 
We do batter and deep fry pizzas though 🤣🤷‍♀️

Got lost in my book and almost forgot to post this. Lunch was at Izumi today. Something interesting to note, portion sizes are very inconsistent here on Freedom. Night 2 our rolls were half the size of today’s. The people sitting next to us today got rolls that were 2/3 the size of what we got. Ramen bowl looked like it was half eaten. It’s usually filled almost to the top. This Izumi is strange….
 

yes the tuna sandwiches are for me!!! 💃🏻🥰
so the egg on pizza is a thing around here too. i am not one who is for it — i tend to be a pizza purist — but where there is truffle, i can be persuaded. at least to try it!!
(also wait are we talking about tuna on pizza? if so…. NO.)
BETRAYAL
BETRAYAL  A G A I N!!!!!!!!!!
SHE IS HORRIFIED!!!!!!!!!
😱😱😱😱😱😱

That's so true! My MIL (now 85) was born and raised in England and lived in Scotland for a few years in her early 20's before following her older sister over to the U.S. chasing those American military veteran husbands. 😃
I can't tell you how many times I've heard about how fresh and delicious the fish & chips are along the coast in England and how they used to serve it on newspaper (now I've been told it's on wax paper that looks like newsprint). Every time my wife and MIL order fish & chips here in the U.S., I hear that story and the comparison is on! 😂  If my wife and MIL like it, then it has to be good! 😄

I'm sorry, but egg on pizza is just....wrong....

Ahh, I'll be on this one too, I'll be the guy sitting at the bar (probably all of them at some point) reading a book and relaxing. 🙂

Lobster night. By far the most overhyped

Fun!
We've had armadillos (not @AshleyDillo) start to dig holes that would eventually lead under our pool deck. Fortunately we learned if you just toss some moth balls in/around the hole it keeps them away.

I boarded vision today. They actually had lanes for each boarding time.
I've never been on this class of ship before but for being old, it's quite a nice ship. The centrum is much nicer than on radiance ships.

I don't really belong in this conversation but that sounds a lot like the Sky Jr Suites that don't include internet on most ships (and all ships after a certain date next year). Why call something "SKY" and then take away something included in Sky Class that costs Royal almost nothing like internet?

I of course noticed these marketing changes when we did RGP last month. But I have to say that I am really struggling with what the point is of not including those things other than, because we just threw darts on a board and decided those are the things to exclude. I know, I know - it's not SC, but what is the point other than trying to emphasize that (which seems silly)? I imagine the overlap of people who can afford/want to do SC is similar to the people who can afford/want to do RGP, so they have to expect these comparisons are going to continue.  

Very brave of you to tag her while posting that, lol. You're such a rebel! (I'm sure there's a Star Wars joke about the rebellion in there somewhere).

Turns out Hubby was not solo in the flowriding session today. There was another family who booked the RGP at the last minute. So last minute that even the two genies on board did not know about them until they showed up with their bags at the terminal after we did. They were not on anyone’s list or anything. But Hubby was slightly relieved too because he wasn’t sure if he could go a whole hour on his own so he was happy there were two others there to split the time with. He said it would have been hard on his legs even though his back is feeling better. 

Pretty leisurely morning so far. As I was making my tea in the suite lounge, the GSM came to find me. We had a nice chat and he said he wanted to talk to me to get the perspective of someone who is familiar with star class and what they think of the program. I don’t have much of a filter these days, so I was very candid about how the reaction is mixed. Will share more in my final thoughts tomorrow.
Regarding the gratuities and laundry, it was what I expected. This program is not “star class”. They specifically asked for marketing to come up with new banners etc., to replace “star class” with “RGP” from the pier all the way to the sea pass card. Being that it is not SC, the powers that be who created this program, decided not to include some things in this program that SC has, laundry and inclusion of gratuities being some of those. He did say they are collecting feedback like crazy on this program. It’s a pilot. I heard that many times this week. They are in a wait and see mode as well. 

Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it lol. In all honesty, I thought it might have been weird too but it is good with the truffle oil and it works. Next time you have the UDP give it a try! 
….the tuna I cannot. That is something that I am not with @asquared17on, that and…don’t hate me…No cup clips!
