Quick and simple pizza lunch. Saving our appetite for La Bamba. Now walking it off. 
 

Looks like a solid half of pie with the pepperoni, mushrooms and ham!!

Hey.That might be us… Deck 7 port side balcony…No action on the 7/11 RC… Might as well chime in here…

J&S

Nope. We are on deck 12 starboard balcony

So some review videos I have watched on the Utopia some people walking around show the destination elevators and it seems on the Utopia when you pick your deck it doesn’t ask how many people are in your group like I’ve seen on the Icon. Wonder why they don’t have it set up like that?

Looking at some newer videos of the Icon looks like they took that off their too.

Well I didn’t say we wouldn’t let Cindy on

Sounds great… and a bit more practical than double all-you-can-eat pre-cruise dinners in the Disney area.

They were just prepping for the cruise. No harm in that!

It will fly by at the end (at least it does for me). It seems far away with 2-3 weeks to go then suddenly it’s a few days.

12 for me (your countdown helps with the math) and I’m gonna be pretty busy after today. Sone fun July 4th stuff & some less-than-fun stuff to take care of. Either way I’ll definitely be ready for a cruise.

Oh it will be here before I know it!!! Just can't wait to be on board!!! 

They also use to give double points to JS but they changed that I believe.

15 more grueling days to wait

16 more days till whoever in my cabin needs to get move out of my way!!!

Or key chains... and the ones we won last time were actually a different color/style than ones we have from before... huge win there!

One more trivia rant... we always get off on CocoCay early and usually stay there until sometime after lunch. Somehow Royal always seems to schedule trivia we think we'd be good at on CocoCay day. I like riddles and was in high school and college in the 90's... but haven't done whatever the riddles one is or Name That Tune 90's yet. Why can't Broadway or Taylor Swift trivia be that day instead?

Yea I sometimes find RCCL planning times a little off and don’t know how much they go back and tweak the times for a better turn out. The day we are are in Coco Cay will be my son’s 11th birthday so we will probably be out there the whole day hopping around.

Of course not, lol... I knew you were looking forward to it and I didn't want to look stupid after assuring you it would populate long before embarkation day. I was also keeping an eye out for it even though it's 100% identical to the 4N we already took as I expected. I still like adding stuff to my calendar too.

On a related note, one downside to repeat sailings on the same ship... the trivia we would normally go to isn't really an option anymore. I mean, we could cheat for those really high end prizes, but I have morals.

I mean you can never have to many RCCL pens

Thank you sir…are you just trying to get rid of me. lol. Good thing I have short Fridays!! Let the planning begin!

Already done. I have the speed of a mongoose!

That is Carnivals scare tactic that will back fire on their cruisers to stay loyal. It’s like they are holding it over their heads, which is not right. I doubt Royal will do something close to that. They changed the points for the tiers which made it harder to move up, but not as bad as Carnivals.

The app finally populated... hopefully that keeps you busy for a little bit.

It's not usually our thing but after we had our fill of shows and the Schooner Bar guy's comedy we did sit just outside the pub for a few songs and he was pretty good.

I should be there every night, but this will be my kids first cruise, so it might be more family activities this time around. I know they play late, so maybe catching him after they go to bed.

I’m excited to listen to Samuel Napier in the pub play music. Found some videos on him and he is good!
