When I saw your blog I checked our Coco Cay day to see if we were there the same day, I was like I'm gonna meet Sweet Pea and Batman in the flesh! But alas, we are there with ICON. We embark on June 7 so it would have been your second visit. Wahhhh! That's the day we disembark so our stars are not aligning. Some day!!! We do need a Royal Caribbean Blog Live Blog fans cruise. I'd love to sail with all you bloggers!! Even with @OCSC Mike and his lovely wife, we'd have had plenty of room for you too in the cabana. How fun would that be???! BTW, for the record, I'm pretending to get caught up on The Veil on Hulu with Batman. I have no idea what's going on in this series and Batman just asked, "what's going on?! Who's that?!" I literally just responded, "I KNOW, RIGHT? I HAVE NO IDEA!!" like i agree with his sentiment. I really am pretty excellent about hiding this blog from him. I'm sitting right next to him. If he eventually asks, I'll be "texting his sister." DDaley, Cactus527, Neesa and 11 others 3 8 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are doing a B2B so 2 visits to PDCC. I snagged the OTW cabana last week for the Christmas segment and it wasn’t a terrible price once OBC was applied but I’ll watch for price drops. I am looking forward to your review of the hideout cabana because I was thinking of this for the first segment but worry it may be too crowded and loud. Say hi to Shane for me.

GregD Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 with all this underwear talk, I've been thinking that I need to branch out for my upcoming cruise. It's a random casino offer I got, so I suppose I should visit the casino. For all the experts out there, would these have all the colors that I need?

Also, on a completely unrelated topic. I was today years old when i learned that Royal uses the same broadcast message system as my employer. My employer uses it for "All Hands on Deck" type of situations. That was the text i saw as i just had to deal with something Wednesday. I thought, there is NO WAY they don't know I'm heading out today. I made sure of it.. the cleaning guy Marcelo knows I'm on vacation for crying out loud! And then i saw the actual text (but not before cursing out my team and wishing poxes on their homes), asking me to abide my check-in time .... Thanks Everbridge!

Neesa Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 Happy cruise day! I know you will have the BEST time. I still can't believe Batman doesn't know you blog, oh my word so funny AND thanks a lot! I was looking at the cruise planner the other day after you posted the declining prices on Coco. My breath hitched when I saw the lowest cabana prices since the shut down. Cabash snuck up behind me and said " well I suppose you want that, " the Hideaway Cabana of the poors as it's not on the pool and kind of just there on the sand. I said " nope, I don't . I know with everything going on it would not make any fiscal sense, we really can't afford it right now" sigh, it's the last one anyway im sure it will be sold out as soon as I refresh this page. No it's okay sigh, breath slowly, sigh. We are sharing the island with Icon, ugh, it's going to be so crowded, sigh. Well with that he handed over a credit card and said hurry up and book it before its gone ( I had already saved it in my basket ) Long story short thank you @SweetPeaI'm now going to be enjoying a beach cabana at the Hideaway.

SweetPea Posted May 31 Author Report Share Posted May 31 Raise your hand if this has ever happened to you: You help a woman find the bathroom. She thanks you and says it's too early to be drunk yet so she's knows it's not that reason she couldn't find the bathroom. You enter said bathroom together and you're both doing your liquid business and she's carrying on a full fledged convo. You're trying to decide if she's talking to you and you need to respond or if she's on the phone. You wager her convo requires a response and do so. You both finish at the same time and are now washing your hands together. You realize you've miscalculated and she's on the phone ... At least i only said ... "you're funny."

SweetPea Posted May 31 Author Report Share Posted May 31 I may or may not have an Amish sighting on this cruise. Which would be a first for me. Batman disagrees because the male had no beard but the woman was in a bonnet and long dress. Also, hello. I love Playmakers. Service has been amazing. What i could eat went down well. The play great music. We have beautiful weather, and it's great for people watching.

OCSC Mike Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 1 hour ago, SweetPea said: I may or may not have an Amish sighting on this cruise. Funny you mention that. We saw the same comedian on Allure in October and Wonder in March (fortunately we really liked him). His adult act is VERY adult. Anyway... he joins the FB pages of the cruises he's performing on and posts stuff like "come see me, there are always no-shows if you don't have reservations." Then before our March cruise he posted a short video clip at like 4am with the caption "I won't leave this up very long, I'll probably get in trouble." He records all his sets and this was a clip of him on a RC ship performing with a bunch of Amish people in the audience (yes, at adult comedy). 90 seconds in they all got up and filed out, lol. I don't remember what he said afterwards (and couldn't post it here anyway) but it was hilarious. We talked to him after his set onboard and I mentioned the Amish clip... he was like "I posted that online? Really?" calvink669, Jax, LandstromCruise and 4 others 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOKEY0202 Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 Batman hold up his bargain and whip up the cocktail like he said? Is there confirmation, he forgot anything?
