We have no vodka or fixings in the room so he is currently off the hook. However, dinner in CK is at the ungodly early hour of 7p so we are fixing to go there. He claims he's unpacked his undies. I have no visual confirmation and am taking him at his word.... 1 hour ago, OCSC Mike said: 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.

SweetPea Posted May 31 Author Report Share Posted May 31 A few things to note: Batman and i both agree this suite looks much bigger in pics. Flip side, the Aqua Theater is much much closer than it appears After Playmakers we went to Sugar Beach where we got Jawbreakers (me), chocolate covered peanuts (Batman) and peanut butter malted balls (also Batman). We spent $40 or something on junk. Don't care. I also got blue birthday cake ice cream (one scoop in a cup). Yum! I forget the name of the woman who works there but we'll have to go back to see. She was super kind. Both at Playmakers and Sugar Beach they both thanked us for stopping by. This Sugar Beach is MUCH better than Oasis.

Perhaps your Amish are Mennonites....less strict, but still peculiar in their customs, and more likely to try a cruise.

Shane sent up late night feedings thinking we were going to the pub. Batman demolished the PB&Js by himself. I have a second wind while Batman is sleeping on the balcony. I'm going to the pub solo.

SweetPea Posted June 1 Author Report Share Posted June 1 Our cabin steward is Sheldon. He's awesome. I was worried we wouldn't have a great one since we're not in the sweet suite neighborhood. I asked for extra blankets on the app before we left, but that never translated. We told Sheldon to please only come for turndown and he said we were his easiest guests yet Jax, calvink669, CravingaCruise and 11 others 10 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I am glad this pre dinner chaos happens to other people. I am determined not to book a photo package on our next cruise as I think it adds to our chaos because we always try to get pictures done before we eat. I am a sucker for cabanas and photo packages so time will tell. The elevator issue is real to get from 8 to 17 and vice versa. We are back on 17 next cruise so that will be a new dynamic.

WAAAYTOOO Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 We really enjoyed our (3) ATS suites. They were the first 3 SC suites we ever had. THEN we discovered Deck 17....and never looked back to the ATS. While the ATS are very unique with those incredible balconies, views and offer 2 completely separate bedrooms (something we do NOT need), they are so isolated and it's SUCH a long walk all the way aft.

I know I've mentioned this before, but the secret to our successful marriage is ... 2 bathrooms. We don't share bathrooms at home (similar to how we do not share beer drawers in the fridge ...) So it's suite or bust for us. And P.S. the only reason I'm up early is because we got a sales call offering us a private photo package. It would be funny ironically and I've spent silly money on a good joke in my lifetime, but i don't I'm at me and Batman holding hands on the carousel and preserving that memory forever.

SweetPea Posted June 1 Author Report Share Posted June 1 I only got pics of my dinner, sort of. Batman had the pork belly. He said it wasn't good. Pork belly is typically great on Norwegian. IDK why we continue to abuse ourselves with what Royal passes for pork belly. I had the smoked tomato soup. TBH, i didn't care for it. It was too smokey. I thought it overwhelmed. We each had the filet as well, sub fries. We tend to eat a lot of filet at home (we have a great local butcher and we stock up when he runs sales), so I'm not going to say this was amazing, but it was fine. The bread, however, was awesome. The pub was fun. Even solo. They're all waiting for Batman tonight. I made it to the balloon drop.

SweetPea Posted June 1 Author Report Share Posted June 1 Also, I'm having better luck with WIFI from our side balcony off the bedroom than anywhere else in the room. I know there are complaints with the signal in these staterooms. I get it. It's sort of hit and miss. It's dead today with all our balcony offers. I was planning on people watching so i either missed the crowds already or we're sailing with amateur drinkers. Batman and i are professionals and carry an arsenal of cures....

SweetPea Posted June 1 Author Report Share Posted June 1 And damn, Batman just said i missed the loyalty ceremony this morning. It was not well attended, like maybe 30 people. But congratulations to Lorraine and Arthur who have over 3k points.
