There's another production show at two70 later in the cruise. Spectra's Cabaret.  

I saw it on my last cruise so don't know if I should see it again. 

Waiting to watch Live.Love.Legs.

No idea what this show is about. 

I'm guessing this is a Royal Genie...

It rocked so much that stuff just fell over in the Windjammer. As usual people flock to see what happened... 

She's been rocking all day... I guess no matter how big you are... you're bound to get motion on rough seas.. I can only imagine how bad it is on the smaller Radiance and Vision class ships..

Dinner on Night 3.

Shrimp cocktail... underwhelming as usual. Probably Frozen shrimp..

The Spag Bol again was nice, but was a bit salty...

I also had pork enchilada. That was fine I guess. My least favourite dishes of the cruise so far. 

Tomorrow is UK night...

They are loaded on to your sea pass card and I usually just mention I want to use it just to be sure.

For casino cash you can log onto any slot machine using your card and transfer the money to your casino account.

the Internet is much more expensive than pre-purchasing in the cruise planner so I would not use that on the ship.

Thank you! Yeah probably better to mention it. 

Someone tell me how the discounts work. Do I have to tell them or is it automatically loaded onto my SeaPass card?

No worries! lol

Me too! 

For me yes, for the freeloaders, not so much. 

It doesn’t affect me as I was not going to get off the ship anyway. The kids are a bit disappointed because they got rained out the last Labadee day when we sailed OY for NYE. Hubby is somewhat relieved as he is a bit tired and sunburnt from PDCC and flowriding. So a day of rest is good for him. I am sure he will be back on the FlowRider tomorrow. Regardless, safety is most important. However, does anyone know if we get our port fees back? 

Get your genie to go down to guest services to ask about the port fees

I can't remember the last time I went to one of those. But hey, you got a glass of really cheap champagne, right?

No, I got a samosa.. which tasted disgusting but also... I don't drink either way.

But good news is.. Star Wars Trivia is happening atm. Bad news is. I've not seen a single Star Wars film so know absolutely nothing about the franchise. 

Okay that was anti-climactic....

A couple from Brisbane whose favourite ship is Ovation.... not Quantum?

Two new Pinnacles.

Next 3 people are at 1050 points

Apparently 23 is a high number of Pinnacle...came to see what this is about. 

They don't even check your SeaPass card, they literally just let you walk in. 

How many non C&A members are here

Omg I used the wrong post... sorry

This is cute... but $15 for a cocktail....

Does the Music Hall on Wonder have a bar?

OK, so not all that different. It's 2 stories on Wonder too but nowhere near the casino and just looks different from your pic. They do have certain trivias and name that tunes there but the others seem crowded no matter what the topic.

They also have Game Shows and other trivias here.

I've never been on Q-class (and know very little about it)... Music Hall on Wonder looks nothing like that. Do they do a lot of trivia there?

One of my few complaints is that the venues used for trivia on Oasis class (usually the bars or Karaoke place) can be extremely overcrowded.

Trivia on Q-class is usually in the Music Hall or Schooner Bar. (At least on Ovation, not sure about other Q-class)

It can get pretty crowded depending on the trivia. If it's something like Harry Potter - you bet everyone and their grandmother will show up for it. Or if it's something like Star Wars/Game of Thrones.

The Music Hall is 2 levels on Ovation (probably the same on other Q-class) and is connected to the Casino Royale.

Waiting for the morning trivia in the Music Hall.

I take back what I said about Mike.

He's pretty funny but he is also very enthusiastic, but in his own way!

It's not bad at all if you're there early. Same goes for embarkation day lunch. I'm usually there as soon as it opens and it's not remotely crowded. It takes time for people to board, wander, take care of certain things, figure out where everything is if they're new, etc.

I'm not trying to convince others to go there; a lot of the time it is very crowded... just not always like some believe.

Yeah I like to go really early in the morning when they've just opened or at night around 8:00pm when everyone is getting ready to wind down. But I only go at night to get fruit and desert cause by 8 I'm already full from dinner in the MDR.

I'm eating breakfast in the WJ right now!!

It's honestly not that bad when it's early and there's not many people. Lunch time is just ratchet and I avoid it like the plague! Alas. Maybe during the repo next year I'll book Star Class..

Speaking of genies... I think I saw one yesterday. I was lining up to see the Loyalty Ambassador and some guy dressed in a nice shirt, pants and a suit jacket was talking to a passenger and handed him what I assumed was a WOW band... interesting to see one in real life

Speaking of speaking of genies - are they considered crew? I would assume so?

Day 3: Rough seas again. Tonight is Mexican night. The Windjammer during lunch times is absolutely ratchet!! I do not recommend it. Top Tier event soon... let's see how many Pinnacles on this cruise. I wasn't feeling too well yesterday so I didn't really do much. 

Another observation: Not too many children on this cruise, I guess cause it's still during school time so most? Kids should be in school  

PS. I am slowly migrating from being an interior only cruiser to still an interior only cruiser but willing to splurge on an Oceanview occasionally depending on the destination and maybe will book balcony and suites one day type of cruiser

It's been so nice having natural light come in from the window and being able to see the ocean! Feels less claustrophobic. Destinations like Alaska, New Zealand (epsecially the Sounds) and Scandinavia are definitely places I would say a Balcony/Oceanview is worth it. Other times, I'd personally just book an interior
