I can actually totally see him doing that in my mind! lol  Love Shane.  Did you find Allan yet?  I miss him lots!

I felt like an idiot today. We were in the elevator headed back to deck 17 real quick b4 cats. Derick pops on and I ask “are you allen?” He turns around “no I’m Derick.”  oops!  Awkward turtle moment. 🤣🤣😁🤪

We were booked for Aqua tonight at 1015 but it was cancled due to rough seas 60 knots for wind gusts out here. The boat is a rocking. I don’t know how the cast of CATS performed under the rocking boat. I’ll post more later It’s been a long day and the sun took it out of me. Tomorrow is ice skating. owners box at playmakers, some comedian, Chops, and hopefully hopefully aqua we still have not seen it! 🙏🏻

Ouch, but your lashes still look marvelous so there's that! 

I was shocked by the rocking, never felt that kind of movement on an Oasis class. We ordered cans of ginger ale for the cabin, and I had to resort to my patch. I have a love/hate relationship with that thing. I hope it calms down soon for you. 

When we sailed a few weeks ago the Aqua Show was canceled multiple times. They rescheduled it a lot to make sure we were able to see it. There was no diving but it did entertain. It was an aqua show near the water not in the water, but we really appreciated their efforts. 

I am enjoying following along:)

Oh you are going to LOVE the seats at the ice show, the performers seem to actually engage you; best. seats. ever!

Day 2 (I think you lose track of time on boats 🤣

After the magic show we came back to the suite and the kids passed out on the bed watching ghost busters.  The towel animal zoo has just begun and we loved it! ok now where were we??? oh yes check this out!

I woke up to gentle rocking and swaying. I peeked out the window and saw thid! I woke everyone up and we ran outside bed head and ruffled pajamas to watch the sunrise. I felt like princess anna on frozen when she wakes up for her sisters coranation day hair everywhere 🤣🤣 People we’re out all dressed up and taking family pics and we were just waking up morning breath and all out on the balcony watching the sunrise 🤣 who cares it’s vacation day. 

So today was a day to celebrate David and I’s 9 year anniversary. we skipped breakfast and met Nityam at vitality spa for a thermal suite day. Sasha hung out with her cousins at the pool. As soon as I got into the locker room I heard “alpha alpha deck 10 starboard…. alpha alpha alpha deck 10” I immediately text our family to make sure Sasha was ok.. I could not relax w a visual of her injured or overboard in my head. She was fine and I was told i’m crazy 😝. A lady came to the dressing room and said it was a test. wohoo yay for tests and not real emergencies! C4D8D801-FE09-4127-9F1B-E6A834E9DFFF.thumb.jpeg.c2b8d1efec24a5d61ab03093985a679e.jpeg

(oh yes this was  a great picture from our room of the sunrise. 🥰oops lol) 

the thermal suite was amazing. Nityam asked for a salt scrub and the lady at the front desk said “they did not purchase this! “ he looked her dead in the eye and said this is star class mam the salt scrub mam.” oh snap she still was not wanting to give it. I don’t think she knew what star class was. he asked me to go change and he would get our stuff. He threw his genie card on the table I am assuming and she immediately said she would see what she could do. I walked out in my robe and met david in the suite and we had our salt scrub. I’m assuming the front desk lady was able to make a salt scrub from her tears real quick. 🤷‍♀️ We used the salt scrub. I used the shower to the left and had no idea what was about to hit me. It was like I was in a car wash and tornado all at once 🤣 I went back to detox more. The dry heat room was nice. My gosh the hot thermal chairs are wonderful for sore backs. We went to change. I quickly realized I was not prepared and as david had my shirt to change into and I had no bra or undies with me 🤣 oh this was going to be fun. Just then david texts me on what’s soo to meet him at the door as he had my shirt. I decided to get dressed and go comando. eventually we would get to my room. YOLO baby! 🤣🤣🤣

I snapped a quick photo before I ran to get my clothes. Look this is a preface of what I would look like after a port day 🤣🤣

I got ready and we headed to the pool deck to meet sasha and the gang, the stairs were very neat. I live the vitality area. I want to book again and just zen out for a week!

We had soo much fun at the pool. I ran to the room to change into my wet suit to hang out. I ran into our amazing room attendent. D516662A-8C62-41A9-8A6C-3DFDC0597F67.thumb.jpeg.dee5be9703b09ed129bcbd0775cda45e.jpeg

What a wonderful woman! she truly cares. She said that this cruise was all about mrs sasha 🥰 

Got back to the pool and headed to the hot tub. I ran to get a fruity drink. Huge line at the bar. ai flashed my purple card and gosh service instantly with apologizes for waiting. God i love star class!  Hot tub pool hot tub pool you know how it goes. After a while we left to go wash and change lunch at giovanies was next!

Sasha spotted another one of these and used the floor drying machine as a prop to stand on to see through. lol!5100F135-F6AF-44BF-9F50-CF7AAC70EA1D.thumb.jpeg.028ebb447229c6db302b9aed870bdfdb.jpeg

We we’re the first ones there I think lol! The genie asked if anything was wrong bc we were up soo early. I said we were late owls and late risers but we were up early. That was sort of my fault 🤦‍♀️ Susrise baby. 🤣 in case you forgot!  8327216B-7991-4BF3-88D0-49847B1C6E0A.thumb.jpeg.8844363a21273bcacd9a495ec392da19.jpeg

dessert was canoli for sasha and a yummy spiked coffee drink for me yum!  Get my irish on even though i’m not irish just look it a bit lol! 

We sent the kids to adventure ocean. Byeeeeeee We got to skip the line and drop off. god i love genies! We did the very hard escape room. I was there to write down codes and moral support! I clapped really loud every time we had a table cleared 🤣 our rocker scientist nephew joana did 90 % of this escape room. That is no lie! we would constantly say “jonah jonah over here! “ he would look at the clue flip some switches and turn the table on in seconds. FA433904-A283-4663-9AFB-C9EF89A440F0.thumb.jpeg.1c0ecca8d8503316a22c49bf559632f8.jpeg

We beat it with 9:02 seconds left to spare. I feel soo smart!! 🤣💪🏻😎

Can you find the rocket scientist in the group who really is in a NASA school?! look to the right. the family with us was star class. we got along really quick and Nityam thought I knew them. No i’m just a people person. It’s my personality Hence why I am good at my job in real life. Gasp oh crap i just said the word job. Nooo! 

ok so we got to the room and Nityam had found a razor and baby powder. No we were not stepping on drugs here. I needed a razor bc i had for got mine. aghh! David couldn’t find his baby powder. he slaps baby powered on his thighs after a shower. why he does this is beyond me. I know i’m going to catch hell for saying this but whatever 🤣 20A8187B-4CAC-4B18-AAAC-EC8D89199B75.thumb.jpeg.714934ae9710c38b36b4577e856f5a2d.jpeg

David and I picked the girls up and strawberries showed up for sasha along with virgin strawberry drinks. Sasha was happy! We got ready and headed out for a private photo shoot! 5642BB9F-4A25-4573-89D6-B4B3A98662E3.thumb.jpeg.c63a530e23192fb044a4e9251bb4edce.jpeg

We love Cami too and have requested her a few times. When we cruised on Harmony in December our suite attendant was Marijanna and she reminded us so much of Cami. I mentioned it and she told me that they had worked together and were best friends!

people are always posting once they get back home “where is my genie” I feel that I will be posting where is my Cami? I truly will miss her!

I found ALLEN!!! Oh my god! I had been looking all over for him! He was just to the right coming out of the loft! I double checked with Nityam first. He laughed and Intold him I had asked Derrick if he was Allen earlier lol! They both got a chuckle!! He sends his regards! Said he missed your family! Nityam said  “we’ll now we have a high standard to maintain.”  after I had told him that oasis right now has the strongest representation of genies. And yes they really did have a standard to maintain! I am soo relieved I found him for you! Talk about last minute too!🥰

DAY 2 continued…. Ok so moving on from when we lost connection were were we? Oh yes! We had beat the escape room. David sasha and I ran to the room to get ready for a photo shoot and then David and I had a chefs table dinner reservation. Coming into the room we had decorations and gifts 2CEE7A4B-9A5B-44E9-9EA7-162304259291.thumb.jpeg.1b6dae13e933ba31cf24e0ad52121096.jpegFCBBA254-65F3-468B-B6C4-DC55A682E816.thumb.jpeg.8935431a73ccbdecb1ae8fbc1f591534.jpeg

My gift to David was a customized photo of the star constellation that was above us on the day we got married. The genie got us Mr. and Mrs. coffee mugs. I love them! We got ready and headed to central park and the boardwalk for a private photo shoot. The shots came out amazing. Sasha was the highlight for sure. We made quite the stir. This was not a typical cruise photographer it was a professional publicist photographer. Here are some of the photos. 021FA754-5C5C-4E03-B24E-D2FB1BFE2EFD.thumb.jpeg.6803342eeaf7d92c5581f52bf3254adc.jpeg739044D9-175C-4CE0-AB10-501191E6DFF3.thumb.jpeg.1b29cdc398c816b014d5533b38ac3ed9.jpegAE2F7ACC-4796-4807-AEDF-55B5C003A6F8.thumb.jpeg.3aec3490eb4e91e3fccbccc47e0b5403.jpeg4F335E77-6C0C-431B-B840-F5A6F9487AE6.thumb.jpeg.992852d8187bb0b843d94104aa8509d0.jpeg6D5740BB-6690-4CAD-9B76-2A22B0F09707.thumb.jpeg.61eb212da6c5ad7f45cfdd62f833b0cd.jpeg

I was melting away!! 🤣 the last pic is special. Something sasha and I have always done. butterfly kisses! 🥰

After the photo shoot Aunt Ronny appeared out of no where and grabbed Sasha and David and I headed to the chefs table. I was drenched by the time we got to the solarium. We couldn’t find the entrance. A worker had closed it off and Nityam saw us running in circles and had someone open it for us. We were early and ended up being a couple minutes late with the entrance mishap. No worries! They saw my red face and gave me water asap and cranked the ac up. The sun was setting and i literally could feel it’s flares on my face lol!! Across from us at the table was another family of Nityam’s. We got along very well. We exchanged numbers at the end of the meal. ok so courses F6E5E496-CDBC-4561-8ABE-9E928DEA6ABD.thumb.jpeg.4d24c9fdcf49723cfc217889d9a42070.jpeg

standing joke was the pandemic caused them to thinly slice the scallops. 🤣 Inwas not a fan of it being cold. it’s like when you are expecting to drink water and you accidentally grab your spouses soda. The soda tastes fine but the surprise throws you off like blaghh. That happened here. I was thinking it was going to be hot and flavorful but it felt like and tasted like a soft water chest nut. Not a fan but the wine was good! 👍🏻47725CB1-29C7-4CE9-A126-8A7921555A56.thumb.jpeg.3a4b3e92b5c149a36dccfc74def1d880.jpeg980033D0-CCA6-4B1B-A2EF-8C972D28E319.thumb.jpeg.af1505f47c45ef06715d5090f3ba8024.jpeg

this was amazing!  smoky tomato soup. They poured the soup and it smelled amazing it tasted amazing as well! BAFB794B-FA70-4BD3-92BC-BD63F3E79AF6.thumb.jpeg.d7066d81ff4310276213e608ade71007.jpeg

Lobster… I love lobster 🦞 the wine was amazing too! I was pretty sloshed at this point! 5AB49CEB-C283-47DE-8E33-1B3648FE2EEE.thumb.jpeg.057953d158064166ffb6789bae2debb8.jpeg13587C0C-C2EE-4B28-9221-BD3B62FF045E.thumb.jpeg.965e729c86d533183561a304af6ca5e5.jpeg

The steak was hit or miss. Jessica in front of us ordered med and got a super dry gray steak. She sent it back and came back with a bloody mess ultra rare steak. She didn’t send it back again. They asked her to cut in and the server saw the blood coming out before the knife even cut it. I braced myself for blood splatter. She just said “no it’s fine i’m fine please don’t worry” they took her plate and we filled her glass with wine to compensate for the messed up steak. EE4BD7AD-0B21-479D-A86B-95D51F5BA11F.thumb.jpeg.ae7f2d7a838aa320f10a022a0ba594fe.jpeg

The fish was amazing. I thought it was great! Everyone kept asking why the skin was soggy as it was supposed to be crispy from flash sear. I was drunk as ever and enjoyed it very much. 45104ABF-D47E-4DA5-97F7-563084A16A02.thumb.jpeg.f8b0183fdc12064b9d7f906765aa9c25.jpeg

My godddd the world is a dream come true! Sex on a plate good! 

After dinner I stumbled to the room to wait for the family. Frozen in time! 10:15 showing. Let me just say I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING AFTER THE CHEFS TABLE! Wow what a fun trip 🤣 

I’m not sure why but I had coke and whisky 🥃 to top off the show lol! here are some pics I took. 8B307A34-935E-4225-96DC-F33741ECFA69.thumb.jpeg.f6a765552977235289424d99b7d1606c.jpeg87B95C11-FCA8-47C1-B039-62F26B13B518.thumb.jpeg.9d849208763ff3e6b9b4a37d24feafa0.jpegF9C274E7-8EC5-4A3C-8D24-2FFABD8A9AA6.thumb.jpeg.99b09e51e3f03eba4f64bc4596a9135b.jpeg06B12999-5561-4321-8065-74E7008A554F.thumb.jpeg.c6d47accdfa0d81b09d6a73f11dedfff.jpegC2F80683-7F1D-4AD9-9E20-F97C0A21B2A6.thumb.jpeg.8851e5ee31c02fa5839f1a3fef1153d1.jpeg
I do remeber singing at the top of my lungs with Josh Groben The Prayer 🙏🏻🤣  Sasha loves the ugly duckling. One duck has a face plant. No one was judging I would face plant wearing all that as well. He got up and all was good and the show continued. after that we came home to our room and passed out! What a fun day!

Wait, how do you do that? You grabbed tip money in the casino? Usually when I go to casinos I walk out with less money and not with more... 🙄

I went to the atm and it was only spitting out $50s I took my 50s to the cage and asked for $100s they looked at me like I was crazy. I flashed my star class card and they looked pissed so I left. 🤭🤦‍♀️

Day 3 Port day 

 

We went to port Costa Maya boooo! I really really really wish that Royal Caribbean would have allowed us to go to our original port of Labadee Haiti. This port was the complete opposite of what I had booked and was sold on. 🤬😡 
 

We woke up to breakfast served not on the balcony because the winds were insane. Our balcony was littered with towels and cushions etc etc. I had messaged the genie the night b4 our breakfast orders and he said that I could only order for star class only but he would try to order family style for us. I told him not to worry as my husbands family were getting on my nerves anyways. I told hubby we would go to coastal kitchen and enjoy ourselves and let them figure out breakfast. They needed to be at our room by 11:15 as the genie would be there to escort us off.

8:30 am comes and my daily morning 2 shots of ginger and starbucks order arrive along with breakfast. everyone’s order was there. I quickly called the family to the room. I soon realize we had lox set ups but no bagels. No worries coastal kitchen was right there and they had 12 hot toasted bagels to the room in seconds. How do they do that?!! 🤷‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️ Everyone ate bagels and lox…. fried eggs …. avacado toast… bacon…. and berries galore. Lots of coffee was had. We got our back packs ready and to the dot the genie was there at the door ready to escort us.

We got off the boat and made our way to our avery tour meeting spot. We sprayed sunblock on us. We smelled like a bunch of sticky hot buns lol! We had a good time feeding the birds. I took a couple of pics from the hanging rope bridges. The winds were INSANE 60 knots from the captains announcement.

Once the tour was over we tried to find a table. This was just pure insanity. 3 boats were docked. Oasis… Mardi Gras…. and Carnival Dream. We stole a few tables and chairs for some service. Our server was amazing considering he had like 25 tables. 512FB8E1-F0FD-4305-B347-0B520437C070.thumb.jpeg.4232f1335c3e3b700dee056ddd4742b7.jpeg
The big yellow drink was ordered by everyone but me. I put two and two together. High winds 🌬and a tall skinny cup do not go together. I ordered a beer on draft and enjoyed my burrito while everyone else struggled with their cups. 😎🤣 My mother in law’s cup fell over. I grabbed Sasha’s cup and poured her almost empty cup into a dixi cup that I had ran up and grabbed from the bar. My brother in law gave me smack about it. I just gave him a look and then sat and enjoyed my meal while he kept yelling at his daughter to hold onto her drink 🙃😇 
 

Once the food was done I grabbed Sasha and got her changed to go swimming in the swimming pool at port. The adults took turns watching the little kids while everyone shopped. I could’t find much. The place was packed. I bought turtle souvenirs for my team and called it a day. We all headed back to the room. The moment we got back I made Sasha undress and shower. She had garbage like literal garbage stuck in her bathing suit. I had to scrub her to get all the stuff that was stuck on her off. I’m telling you that water was nasty. 🤮  I ran outside and went zip lining real quick! 4259DA66-4920-446E-AA6C-5E911C90C442.thumb.jpeg.7580896c3deb4be0a7b69a45d04a987b.jpeg

I love the red star class band. I would just walk up to the front and ask in my most sincere desperate I don’t know what I’m doing voice “is there a star class line? 🙃😉immediately I would be ushered to the front as the next person in line. It worked beautiful! I zip lined and didn’t not hold on. I looked down and gave a peace ✌️ sign to my husband who was recording me. Soo cool!!! I then ran in and washed off and got ready for dinner.

 We met Nityam at 150 central park  for dinner. I was dying of heat stroke at this point lol! He had one look at me and said “Alisha what happened!?”  I said I was poached lobster for the night. I was burnt crisp. the sunblock did nothing for me lol. I’m a red head and used to it. I wasn’t burning but it had me hot as hell for the night.

To start our experience eas the much anticipated cucumber martini. I could drink a gallon of these yummmm! Very refreshing especially when you are a burnt crisp. 🤪😎046F713A-798D-40BF-9DA9-E2019A98BA47.thumb.jpeg.d861b387654ca211f5c110fcd15d9274.jpeg

my appetizer was the crispy pork belly. I was excited about this but ended up not a fan. It reminded me of my moms burnt pork chops growing up. The fatty part would get crispy. I just felt like it was a thick square of crispy fat with a tiny bit of meat at the bottom. Too fatty for me. Had it been meat with a tinny thin layer of fat I would have probably enjoyed it. 9499DC1E-8159-4E81-B1E8-C3DF3055A16A.thumb.jpeg.3f3c442a8362b61d78963530222d98ab.jpeg

Hubby had a caesar salad. yummy! C8F09916-E895-4AE8-AB6E-C75CE9C2E6BA.thumb.jpeg.3519493a8895abb1604e7586d2848624.jpeg

I had ordered my steak medium. I like a little pink. If you zoom in on this steak on the right side you can see the blood or juice whatever it is already oozing out. The food was dropped off and no one waited for me to cut it. I cut the steak and it squirted blood at me aghh lol! My mashed potatoes were red soaking up the juice. I could not eat it. The middle was cold aghhh. My husband knew immediately it was rare. The server tried to tell me to order medium well from now on. That kind of put me off. My husband hails from hotel hospitality and I cook. I know what medium is and the feel of the steak was not medium. I said “well order it whatever you have to do where it’s warm pink in the middle and blood is not gushing out into my mashed potatoes when I cut in please.”   Anyways they send me a new one and wait for me to cut it. It’s medium rare. It’s legit a bloody mess. I just looked at David and the server as my potatoes are currently soaking up all the juice. I know there is going to be some myoglobin but not a dang river. He said that it was medium. I said “well then no worries I am sure I will enjoy my “medium” steak. Thank you for you assistance tonight! “ I ate the ends of the steak and left the cold red pieces alone. When the server came to grab our plates he saw I didn’t eat my steak or bloody potato’s. He said “I’m soo sorry I can tell you didn’t like your steak.” I said “I’m just not a fan fan of myoglobin gravy for my potato’s it grosses me out.” When your mashed tots are red it’s a bit much  Now hubby like rare steak but not me. I eat steak like once or twice a year other then that it’s fish for me. I’m not a big red meat eater🤮98DF0F35-0C04-4A0E-8FEF-711E9D990CCA.thumb.jpeg.5c21352bbc9b30b7dace031c26dacf2d.jpeg

David had fish that was amazing!  768C053E-2807-4CF3-BD5B-A8AA3AEE44D8.thumb.jpeg.1e105286788dbf5de27b5bba13444487.jpeg

For dessert I ordered fried cheesecake which was to die for but the winner was David’s dessert! CF42901A-B4EB-4FAE-BF12-40F6F259EE7A.thumb.jpeg.bd55b45319c6f6c64316b5babad2ec6b.jpeg

Oh my goodness the gelato or whatever it was was outstanding. This would have went well with chops lavender martini. I didn’t know yet that the martini existed at this point or else I would have ordered it to go with this divine dessert! Full stomachs we listened as the early aqua show was canceled.  Nityam arrived and told us he had booked CATS for us and we would head to Aqua after. 

CATS you either love it or hate it. I loved it!! The boat was rocking soo much we were swaying left and right. I have no idea how they did their dance moves on such a rocky boat! I enjoyed the show very much so. I am a broadway junky so I figured I would. Sasha loved it as well she was soo into it which was pretty cool to see!!😻😻 At the end of the show they announced aqua was canceled due to the high winds. We were traveling faster then normal bc we had waited at Costa Maya for a number of people and left 45 minutes late.  No worries we went home to relax. I snuck downstairs while everyone was sleeping and listened to the creeky ship. Our room was creeking with all the movement. I loved it.  I took a photo before bed. I’m a hot mess. I resembled my post thermal suite pic from the day before lol! Anyways I lathered up in chilled aloe and hit the bed zzzz. Till the next post! ✌️2FD36825-79A5-49CC-81CC-7621DA234EA3.thumb.jpeg.e2eb88cbd22cb6d5bece2cec11a93a0a.jpeg

@theroyalthornes I just saw on facebook the passing of Thomas. When we were waiting to cruise in the Star loft suite 1720  We followed your family royal blog and watched the videos as we sailed it 4/3-4-7. You all looked like you had the time of your lives. May his memory be a blessing to all that knew him! Our family sends our deepest condolences to your family in this time of mourning. 🙏🏻
