A couple of years ago, I was cruising in the Caribbean.  The seas were so rough that the captain announced that he had to pull in the stabilizers. This was done to prevent the stabilizers from breaking.  The ship was rolling so bad, I could not walk a straight line.  I just bounced from wall to wall.  LOL!  I had to kid my sisters, who had only cruised in the Mediterranean.  They tried to convince me that I would not feel the ship move.   Fortunately, I did not listen to them and brought my motion sickness medication with me. 

Steve from Canada just announced that we're expecting rough seas ahead for a while due to the weather.. hoping it gets better when we get to Hobart

I've missed the towel animals... and there's no in room magazine for you to buy stuff anymore, but you also can't buy/rent movies on your TV anymore...what's up with that

No teleportation

Yikes. I mean the seas here are rough, but they're not that rough, the captain hasn't announced anything about pulling the stabilizers, it is pretty hard to walk in a straight line  

Day 5... sea day

Hoping to get out and do more trivia... 

Parked in port right now enjoying dinner...

Night 4's dinner menu. Would recommend the Asian

Gonna go to the side of the ship and see if we can spot pier runners

Fish and Ships is honestly so underrated!! Same with SeaPlex Hot Dog House! I do want to experience the Royal Promenade on the Oasis class ships one day....

Heading back on the ship now, there wasn't much to see or do in Adelaide if you've already been there before, still it was nice to get out and stretch my legs. Looking forward to the next port of call!! Oysters and Wine!!

Honestly didn't realize how big she really is. If Quantum-class ships are this big, I can't imagine an Oasis class...

Day 4...

We've finally arrived in Adelaide after two sea days. Hoping to get out and explore a bit  Maybe now is the best time to go for a swim/do other activities because everyone is getting off the ship

Just came back from watching James Bustar!! What an absolute beast!! Normally I don't mind kids, but the kids were ruining the show, it was still entertaining though!

Next stop.... Adelaide

I've been a few times anyway, so seen everything there is to do in Adelaide.  Might just walk around Rundle Mall...  Also am I the only one who can't be bothered waiting for the lift? I'd rather just use the stairs.... 

We did see a rainbow, it was pretty cold outside, I think it got down to about -2°C

But I'm glad it's not so holiday season here in Australia yet, otherwise there'd be A LOT more kids. 

One question, I know on Port Days, North Star is free, but let's say by a twist of fate, we can't make it back in time, will they charge us $25?! Or does that only apply for sea day bookings

The casino has changed a lot from what I remember! Looks like they added more machines.

I just want to thank @Matt and all the other RC Blog staff for all their tips on making a cruise vacation better!

I don't drink alchohol, but I thought I'd treat myself to something else... I know I know, Lemon & Lime Bitters is incredibly basic, but I enjoy it

Night 3 MDR menu... looks like it wasn't Greek/Mediterranean in the MDR

I normally don't like risotto, but this one is actually quite good...

Night 2 MDR menu... looks like the menu did change. Tonight is "Greek" Mediterranean? Night according to the Cruise Compass. 

I've walked by the pool deck many times, and surprisingly I've always been able to find a chair by the pool and some were even empty....

It's actually 16+ with the exception of the Bistro, where any age can dine.

Oh Well then.... I guess I was wrong

I thought the Solarium was 18+.... Why are there kids here

I've missed having breakfast at the Solarium. It's a lot more relaxing without any screaming kids or all the chatter!

Watching the beautiful ocean. We're almost at our first port.. but she's started rocking again! Rough seas all week...I swear... are her stabilizers legit broken or something? It wasn't this bad last time I sailed on her. 

Rough waves

But also... just saw a Diamond Plus lady use her status to push in while queuing for something!!

Battle of the Sexes Trivia....

Diamond Lounge/Club

That I can't get into...

Sitting inside Sorrento's waiting for the art auction to open so I can get free champagne!

Looks like I need to reach Pinnacle to get a Gold card

Nevermind, I found an article on it
