I had forgotten how much fun people-watching can be. I’m honing my inner @Ampurp85skills. Watching the carousel riders. Mom with a creeper (this is what we call pre-toddlers…since they kinda creep around on the ground…nothing nefarious in that term, in this case) in a stroller. They pull up in front of the carousel; the mother bends down and says, “Tommy….you wanna ride the merry-go-round with mommy” ? The kid stares back up at mom and thinks, “What the f@#k is a merry-go-round” ? Translation: “Tommy, I want to ride this merry-go-round but I have to take you with me, ok ? If I leave you out here alone they will charge mommy with child endangerment and abandonment and Royal Caribbean will ban me for life. Besides, it would just look bad and people would talk. You ready ?”. LOL! That's one of the things we like about CP balconies, especially later in the day or evening. Besides listening to the musicians in the park, you can people watch and not be on display yourself. I often find myself sitting on the balcony late at night, after my wife goes to sleep, just relaxing with my iPad and wondering what everyone else is doing. It's neat seeing the lights in the park dim in stages and shut down for the evening. PPPJJ-GCVAB, asquared17 and WAAAYTOOO 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 My interior casino tier cruise booked me in a CP interior view..so we have a window that overlooks it and there's a window seat that makes the room feel really spacious! The people watching has been fun. WAAAYTOOO, Ampurp85, JohnK6404 and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I always wondered what those rooms were like. Glad you got a little upgrade ! Breezy and rocky this morning…but nice and cool. I was only in the casino about 20 min last night. Started out hot and turned cold quickly. Cashed out and came home. edit: I’m an idiot. We aren’t in a CP balcony we’re in a boardwalk balcony. Ugh.

You are welcome to stop by and peek in at some point! We almost played a drinking game today where we took a shot every time someone commented about it being rocky. We would have died from alcohol poisoning by now Can you see the aquatheater screens from your room?

WAAAYTOOO Posted February 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 I just thought I would mention that I smelled skunky weed last night in the casino. That’s the first time I’ve smelled it on a cruise ship. Ampurp85 and PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted February 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Note for those who want to utilize the D+ laundry perk on SY: The last day to submit a wash&fold bag is day 4 (for a typical 7 night cruise). This is a full day earlier than normal (my experience). Today is day 6. I submitted a bag on day 3 and another on day 4 - neither of which has come back, yet ! So my experience is that the laundry on SY is woefully slow. Submit your laundry early ! asquared17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asquared17 Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 disembarkation was interesting; we did self assist, so it was a new experience to queue up outside on the walking track on deck 5. the line moved quickly and we were out in no time! hope every one had a great week!

WAAAYTOOO Posted March 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 So....somewhere in this blog (I'm too lazy to find it) I mentioned that we had seen an owl on SY on our 1-14-23 sailing. It was the cutest thing... ....and lo and behold, he (or she) made it into the news !
