WAYNO

And then for lunch... The Windjammer is doing a great job of covering my favorite food groups.

I did purposely try the potato salad on day 7. And as you've found, it is indeed delicious. I had a brat and a hot dog also. Both were good. Now with the previous discussions of a Chicago dog, although I could not see the trimmings available, I saw one person walk away with one. Correction... it was relish and sauerkraut.

And tonight I think I will skip the MDR.

Oh I am. The little woman is sleeping. I am eating breakfast, ever so scrumptious. I've gotta mention again, last night's lobster. Often, folks on this forum are so critical of what they say is the worst lobster ever, aboard Royal Caribbean. Even leaving the restaurant I overheard an old grump complaining of the lobster. But the lobsters my Wife and I were served were truly wonderful. Proof again, instead of professing how bad the food is, just recognize everybody has different tastes and expectations . And I will go home pleased, with memories of what is now my favorite ship.

Day 6. MDR for dinner. Steak and lobster. Both very good, and very worth getting dressed up. And our servers were delightful. Then back in the cabin, my Wife snapped this spectacular sunset.

The casino and C&A keeps us lavished with treats, including wine. We try to be good, and abstain, often giving our wine to other passengers. We have yet to find anybody who wants it, so I guess we will bring it home. There are worse dilemmas.

Our hallway is full of fun loving people, as seen by so many cabin doors. Also, this ship has had more duck hiders than any ship we have been on. This has been a fun cruise, and we have met so many fun people.

We are now steaming away from Costa Maya . That's another way to say the end of our cruise is approaching. These cruises go so fast.

Costa Maya is easy. Even without an excursion, you can swim, eat and drink and be merry without leaving the port. My Wife even got her first tattoo ever, even though it will last only 2 weeks.

I do have a question for others. The bathroom ventilation throughout the fleet has never been spectacular, but it's pretty non existent in our bathroom on Wonder. Have others experienced the same thing?

Day 6, Costa Maya. Haven't yet seen the dock, but eventually we will make it there.

Dinner at the MDR tonight... I had the coconut breaded shrimp, and onion soup, as perfect as always, and although I didn't order it, I received the tiger shrimp for an entree along with the steak that I did order. All 5-star perfect. Then I cancelled my dessert. Even I can over do it.

And I have never seen it. I will purposely look next time.

Nothing stood out, other than West End had a lot if shopping opportunities.

Actually, we stopped at multiple places. An artisan mall, the chocolate and coconut oil factory, the Rumcake place, and the West End, which is loaded with shops, bars and restaurants.

My best advice is to make sure you have an air conditioned vehicle! It was not necessarily hot, maybe 80 degrees, but the wind and humidity made it feel like a hundred degrees. We ate at the West End, a place called Booty something It was mediocre, but what it lacked in quality and serving size, it made up for in high price. Then. We were substantially over charged. I gave up trying to convince them, as I didn't want to spend the night in the Roatan jail. Otherwise, our bi-lingual tour was pretty great. It was difficult to get photos, so I have very few.

Thursday morning. Our plan is an air conditioned bus tour of Roatan. I stepped out on the balcony and promptly wilted. Then on the elevator upon greeting another passenger, he commented how much cooler it is today. We had breakfast delivered to our room this morning. I ate just a little. Wasn't in the mood for more. But I am now sipping my wonderful Americano in the Crown Lounge. This place is mostly empty.

Figured I'd better get our cups. Don't ever use them, but free is such a good price.

The Dog House... I have not been enamored with this place on other ships, but since everything else has been so wonderful on Wonder, it's only fair that I give the Dog House another try. I am glad I did. The Dog was great as was the bun. On a good hot dog I don't need condiments, and I didn't need them here. Thanks.

And apparently at 5 there will be hors d'oeuvres.

I was here noonish and again at 3PM. There was no food or snacks either time. And the vitual window to the world.
