Ok, i had to look up where you're from because i was genuinely worried for you. I see in your case CPS stands for Chicago Public Schools (at least i hope!). In my neck of the woods  ... CPS is Child Protective Services. 😅

Biscuits were good. 
dinner at chops. Place was dead. Awesome . Service and food great. Servers descended on our table to cut up my youngins’ steaks. Caught a couple mins of intense (seen it before) my goose is cooked for the day. Coco tomorrow. Thrill water park; will Check out hideaway beach. as always this website provides a service. Someone mentioned about asking room attendant for a fan. Didn’t know that was an option before. Asked, for a box fan for the room. Got one. Thanks y’all.  
. Seacrest out. 

Watch for the 10 Drink Card.  We had it on the cruise before you....popped up around day 3, which is earlier than I remember in the past.

I’m supportive, but not crazy! He was out there on his own for most of the time lol
That about sums up my feelings for the next few months ahead. 
 
We did. The letter was very non-specific. It said because of “inconveniences while sailing this week”. But I will gladly take it! Let’s see what they actually send.

Make sure you let us all know when that happens!!  😜 

What a great week of information and pictures and entertainment!  If I didn’t know any better I’d believe I just got off a cruise ship!  😉 
Hope your trip home was carefree and on time!  Enjoy the next few months as your daughter moves along the path of maturity, adventure, fun, sadness, and the future!  The best is yet to come for all of you!  XO

Just lost a post. 🙄
Short version… You probably won’t hear from me again until the morning. I’m playing internet package shenanigans with our Diamond discount b/c the Black Friday sale wasn’t any good for one device (which my wife & I share).
We plan to see the aqua show tonight followed by the headliner. Wife is currently napping otherwise she’ll never make it.
Be back with more random food pics & thoughts tomorrow. Thanks to all who are following along. Can’t believe this cruise is only 5 hours old, lol.
@GatorCruiser can take over until then.
 

this is so exciting!! we are going in our first grand suite ever in december. 😍
i have done a CLS with my parents but the GS is just for me and J. we are very excited. 
i love your close proximity to CK too! 

Random stuff…
While I was getting my drink at Mason Jar my wife ran into our server from June (we loved her so we told her we’d see her on day 3). I’ll feel better ordering half the menu now. 🤣
While I was getting my quesadilla my wife noticed our CK manager from June that I raved about (Vinay from India). @Neesa and possibly @Lovetocruise2002 know who he is. Anyway, he said he remembered us, asked where the fam was, and told us he is now the manager of Wonderland, ELF, & Sprinkles. I think his talents are wasted in this role, tbh, but at least we get to see him this way.

It’s a mere grand suite. I can’t keep up with the star class ballers on here like @Lovetocruise2002. It’s cabin 1714 a few steps from SL/CK. We booked it back in December 2022 at next cruise. The balcony is quite large actually. The room is gorgeous. My kids don’t deserve this but you can’t leave them at home, I guess. 🤪

For the record, I also went to Park Cafe but didn’t get anything. And I had a ranger cookie on my way out of WJ.
Cabins were ready at exactly 1:00 and our luggage was waiting for us! We also met our cabin attendant within minutes. He quickly introduced himself & said he’d be back at 3:00. We told him no rush but asked if he could bring us extra hangers when he returned. He knocked on our door 5 mins later with a dozen hangers. Great first impression!

Lunch at Mason jar. Was very good. Had the Nashville hot fried chick Sammy and Cajun fries washed down with Bourbon mule. Wife had salmon avocado toast. 

Last snack for now. Cabin should be ready soon. Still think it’s better than it used to be.

 

For @Lovetocruise2002’s hubby 
 

St. Patrick’s Day decorations & themed balloon drop at midnight tonight (we’ll likely be asleep).

Quesadilla from ELF was so much better this time. Hot & melty.
 

1st drink, Mississippi Moonlight from Mason Jar bar. More moonshine, less lemonade this time, still good.

There’s nothing better than getting on early. It’s like free vacation time!  I love getting on early to take care of things like dinner reservations and such, and then grab and early lunch(usually in WJ) like @OCSC Mike to beat the crowds. That was I can be enjoying things like the flowrider by noon when everyone else is still getting on and getting lunch. 

Room pic. Stateroom door was open FYI. 

See ya during the week @GatorCruiser!
First meal from empty WJ as it just opened. Beef curry that was actually spicy & fried rice. Went back for more curry. Not sure why the Indian food in the MDR is so mild compared to WJ.
 

Pool deck is nucking futs. Out here cause kids want to do slides. Oh lawd help me! 

Onboard prices , lmao !
