This makes me very happy. I suggested improving this process on my post cruise survey last time. Do you know if you can select photos and create photo books also?

This will be so much easier than running to the crowded photo area to try and view them.  This will make my wife happy! 

His restaurant was one block from me. I miss his biscuits with honey butter.

Yes, that’s him.

Is that Art Smith that was Oprah’s chef? He had a restaurant in Hyde Park.

Me too! More like the Disney app where you can view your photos almost immediately. 

Love this new option!!!

You can view your photos on the app now. @Matt not sure how new this is.
 

We have one similar restaurant in Disney Springs (Art Smith’s Homecomin’) with excellent chicken n biscuits & sides like mac n cheese (maybe make hubby take you there if he needs another Star Wars fix).
We also have a good bbq place with a few Orlando locations (one by us).
We have nothing like the Mason Jar brunch though.

There are many on the Royal Caribbean Dining group that share those very sentiments. I think that’s a valid point. We have no southern places to compare it to so to us it’s great! But if you are comparing to land, I am sure there are tons out there that are better. 

HOOKED!!!!
BUCKLE UP. (i say with love and forewarning 😂)

I have to pace myself. We have Hooked tonight and I have never been there. You know what that means right? Lol

First things first, Happy Anniversary 🙂
We were running around doing senior year stuff, yearbook photos at the studio as per the school, (nothing like in 1984 when I graduated!) So I'm so glad I could catch up! What an amazing couple, love the picture with the swans! 
 CK was amazing, I actually returned home and sent an email to Jason Bayley naming Vinay & Shereen  along with our server and concierges. Just because my sailing was not really great, I couldn't blame the aforementioned crew. I wanted to make sure I recognized this team which made me feel like family. I never heard anything back I hope Bayleys office gave them some positive feedback etc. Shereen was the best CK host we ever had! Hands down!!
Okay please don't judge but clearly I'm the only person on planet earth who did not enjoy the Mason Jar, phew....okay I said it. We have 2 local family southern kitchens within a stones throw away, and we just kept comparing and I guess we are very lucky, our southern crushes MJ. Sorry, so sorry but wow, I feel better now, lol!!
I love that you guys are relaxing, that balcony begs to be utilized, yep I'd be all over that as well. 
I am so enjoying your blog, Im living vicariously through you, but the good news is my new lawn mower leaves amazing clean lines......great cut🙃🤪

You phrased that like you’re only allowed to choose one lunch venue. Bizarre. 🤣

As someone without kids…
Solarium, food, solarium, food… excursions they wouldn’t like… solarium, food, solarium, food.
And I presume you could drink more without them if so inclined.

It was a really good meal. CK has been excellent on everything so far this cruise. It literally feels like they took their best CK crew members from hostess all the way through to the chefs in the back, and put them on this ship. 

You and the boss are going to sit and chill on that giant balcony that you are going to have 🙂

Now I'm really hungry.....these look so good!

After lunch, I went for a walk on the jogging track again. Feels better to move after a meal. 

Now back to enjoying the room. Tried to chill on the balcony but it’s way too windy out there today. Hubby went to the Flowrider again. I might take a nap, read a book, or just sit…

I don't think I will know how "to cruise" when we go without our kids in April.....I'm so used to planning the day around them that It will be such a change to not have them there......What am I going to do with all my free time?

Because we are in St. Maarten today, our options for lunch were: WJ, Park Cafe, Sorrento’s, CK, or room service. We ended up in CK because we like their lunch menu today. Like many of you already know, CK varies between several lunch menus, it is not the same from day to day. 
 
Today we had Spinach Salad, Mushroom soup (same as Chops, I love this soup!), Royal Chicken Sandwich, and the Seafood Linguine Alfredo. 

Thanks for following along! 
Like all things we have had ups and downs, but like my mom always says, each passing year is a true blessing, never to be taken for granted. 
 
It’s taken on a chill vibe because that is literally all we have been doing. Which is awesome! I am not complaining at all, especially with the craziness of how this vacation started. Remember one week ago today, I was sitting at DTW wondering if I would make it MCO or not? Lol
I gave Hubby the option of Mason Jar on boarding day but he did not even think he would like it there so we went with what we knew we would like, which was Playmakers.
