Mariner - 10/13

Kevin Philip is without a doubt the best Pub guitarist and singer I have seen.  We are on the Wonder this week with him and have had the pleasure of him being on 3 other cruises.  He makes my nights so enjoyable and he is a great guy as well.  Have gotten to know him and enjoy sitting around and having a drink after he performs.

The best band I have seen on a cruise was the Rock Cover band Phoenix out of Las Vegas.  They were on Wonder during the Inaugural cruise.  Played all kinds of 70’s classic rock.

The next best was an Eagles tribute band called “The Long Run”.  Cannot remember if we saw them on the Allure or the Oasis a few years ago.

Does anyone know when boarding at terminal 18 if there are different entrances / lines for diamond level or just one big line for everyone.

Last month we boarded at a separate door for Suites, and I saw one for Key and seemed all others were going into a third one.  Next week we are on the Wonder, are Diamond as well, and not in a suite this cruise so I wish there would be a separate one too.

The Pepper Mill, the asst. waiter (usually) would come around and ask if you wanted pepper.  Also the variety of bread instead now you get a little basket with about 5 oi pieces in it. and every night it always 2 pieces of WHITE Italian type bread and a couple of WHITE rolls . Nothing in dark flour. maybe once in a while a seeded roll.  Also as I mentioned before the Savey bites

Last month on the Odyssey we ask the waiter about the Savory bites and pumpkin seed rolls and they were on our table every night after that.  

I don’t think this will make much of a difference to most people.  I am vaccinated and boosted, my wife is vaccinated but not boosted.  She is not going to get the booster just to get a test one day earlier.  If it was to eliminate the need to get a test she probably would.

She only plays Slots.  Usually penny.

My wife played with $1200 last month on the Odyssey and made almost 2600 tier points.  Granted she lost all $1200 but she has gotten 2 more free offers since that cruise.  We will be taking probably 6 cruises this year and 4 of them will be Casino Comps.
