GregD Posted February 20 Author Report Share Posted February 20 Good morning everyone! We are on sea day number 2, day 3 of the cruise. I again was up early, (5:30) but didn’t want to commit any crimes against humanity @GatorCruiser so I did manage to fall back asleep for a few more hours. Our Starbucks order has just arrived so @TheBoss518 and I are making use of the balcony and some @asquared17 Bezos purchases. we don’t have too much planned for today so we are perusing the cruise planner to see what piques our interests.

GregD Posted February 20 Author Report Share Posted February 20 Back to last night. @Jax you will be happy, we have a #starclassbehavingbadly moment!! So, we finished our photos in Central Park, and The Boss wanted some on the stairs. As we headed over, we saw our friends doing theirs, so of course I photobombed and we got this gem of a photo The photographer was confused at first when I invaded the space, but quickly recovered and snapped this one.

True, but while not the case on these cruises out of Galveston, usually if you have 2 sea days to start out of florida it means you end with PDCC, which I actually prefer to end with a sea day.

Agreed. Aside from liking to be on the ship the last day to just chill and do random stuff, I obviously have a food reason as well... even I'm too full by the last day to properly stuff myself on CocoCay, lol. I've avoided the dreaded day 7 CocoCay thus far and only have it scheduled for March 2025 as of now.

GregD Posted February 20 Author Report Share Posted February 20 Dinner was at 150 Central Park. With the mixture of plenty of cocktails and feeling like crap because Sabor lunch was not sitting well with me, I wanted to attempt to keep this meal a little lighter. I ordered the beet salad, Lydia the Ceasar salad, and The Boss got the short ribs. First course started well. Everything was delicious. In between courses we took some awkward family photos and had some good laughs and made good memories. When our entrees arrived we tucked in. The Boss got the tenderloin, which she said wasn’t as good as CK. I tried to go lighter with the halibut. This also was delicious. Johnny got a cheeseburger. FYI for future cruisers. Be proactive when ordering. His burger came with a mix of American and Swiss cheese, which he did not like at all. This wasn’t mentioned anywhere on the menu. I’ve also noticed on other meals, the chefs will sometimes get creative. So those with picky eaters, it’s best to say exactly how you would want something. Lydia ordered the spaghetti bolognese. In her true “bread confessions of a teenage cruiser” she filled up up bread and was able to eat only a little. Partway through dinner I realized that my belly was reaching full capacity. I stopped our server and canceled my dessert and said I would share with the rest of the family. Our server remarked that multiple people that night were canceling dessert. We shared the fried cheesecake, and the chocolate peanut butter tart. This had a black currant sorbet with it, and I loved that dessert. The combination reminded me of peanut butter and jelly. The sorbet was quite refreshing after that dinner. Sweety, Ampurp85, PPPJJ-GCVAB and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregD Posted February 20 Author Report Share Posted February 20 Evening shenanigans!! So the freeloaders went back to the stateroom to relax while The Boss and I went to the adult comedy show. The two comedians were pretty good. The first one made fun of all the late comers and had good crowd interaction. The second we had seen before on Oasis, and he also was funny. There were plenty of cruise related jokes, Which morphed into viagra jokes and others associated with that specific body part and self stimulating activities. What made all this funnier was there were three women sitting next to us. Appeared to be her mother and adult daughters who were at least 21 because they had boozy drinks. Anyway, those two girls had lived a sheltered life because the mom had to explain what the comedian was talking about. Their reactions were priceless. This couple apparently missed their afternoon nap. The gentleman did wake up in time for the show, and laughed along to the whole thing, he clearly understood all the jokes Following this, we went up to the schooner bar for a plethora of cocktails. We watched these girls commander one of the only available staircases for their own photo shoot. Then to sit down on the gross stairs in their fancy dresses I did watch the one at the top of the stairs nearly fall down them, so I can only assume she was well lubricated and not thinking clearly. We could see people getting frustrated trying to get around them. Apparently, the schooner bar was the place for shenanigans. Plenty of wardrobe malfunctions as the lubricated women with fancy slit dresses weren’t paying attention to how they were sitting. Then this guy made an appearance. He is very vintage and was with a group of 3 other men, all wearing matching pineapple garb. There were a collection of women they were with as well. They were all very handsy. At one point, this vintage was openly groping a woman who could have been his granddaughter. It was actually getting kind of uncomfortable. I think one of the bartenders said something because the whole group of them left together for what I can only assume was….relations….. I wonder what this is code for?

GregD Posted February 20 Author Report Share Posted February 20 And….we have had our first Alpha Alpha Alpha. Hopefully everyone is okay. It was on the pool deck, and it’s really hot today! It was a bit eerie, we were in CK when it happened, and the whole room went silent. We saw the lifeguards rush over with a wheelchair to an area out of our view. Berty happened to be with us when the call went out. We’ll chat with him later to see if we can get some details.

Ampurp85 Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Can I ask did the Boss or you ask for so many fried onions at 150CP???? Also, the main occurrence of shenanigans is people forgetting the clothes they are wearing. The lady who flashed us in the ice show on Wonder was with a vintage who could have been her grandfather.

GregD Posted February 20 Author Report Share Posted February 20 This morning after breakfast at CK we all went up to the suite sun deck. As you saw earlier, we had some fun pineapple drinks. Eventually we got hot enough that we had to brave the masses and cool off in the pool. The pool decks were hopping. We managed to find a corner in one of the pools where we were able to congregate and marinate in who knows what, considering how many smaller humans were in the pool with us. Probably best not to think about it, but Dan joked, “I saw the movie dodgeball, urine is sterile.” That’s what showers are for right?
