A Photo Tour... before the camera start drinking like a fish!

Todays was the 2nd saddest day of all... last sea day. 

I knew I wanted to take pics of the ship as I hadnt all cruise yet. Usually I do it the 1st sea day, but this cruise I was really all about enjoying the moment. Its the least amount of pics I have ever taken.


Per usu, I was up at the crack of booty dressed and ready before coffee came... last room service.



I sat on the balcony catching our last sunrise at sea drinking my Rumchatta. Once I was awake enough to take pics, off I went. 



On the Freedom the boys played chess a few times, I asked this time if they did and they said no. None of their friends knew how and they never met up to play. There is another one on the Promenade deck 


Trying to be artsy 


Didnt play one round of mini golf with the kids this time, but they played a lot with their friends they stated. Our cruise thread had a tournament going on later today, but we ended up bypassing it since well the kids kept ditching us, and E and I was just relaxing at that time.


The Famous Funnel





Aft pool and the pretty wake.

Open deck chairs for miles


Love the bright colors over the ugly green slides on the older ships.

Such a pretty sight


Didnt make my way to Serenity once, our last cruise on the Freedom, they played a VERY adult game up there one night. It was a blast by the bar, people yelling body parts over and over answering trivia to try and win a ship on a stick, and a bottle of champagne.



As I was walking around taking pics I noticed a few towels but not many starting to hog. But towards the end there was 1 guy in his rob asleep on one of the clam shells. I was trying to figure out if he had been there from last night or early this morning claiming his space. I sooo wanted to take a pic of him but he wake up as soon as I walked past him.


 Front of the ship



Oh man chair hoggers are already out and in full effect.


Guess it is too early for a drink.


But it's 5 o'clock somewhere!


Breakfast was almost set up.


Loved the salsa bar.


I could go for a Guys Burger right now.


Love the Toppings Bar too!


Wow, no line.. oh thats cuz its not open. Seriously they always had a line wrapped around the pool it seemed.


3 out of 4 of us like the Pig Patty, the other 1 likes The Ringer.


You can even pretend your a giant with a mini funnel LOL.


The thing right above me is the web cam...  I kept meaning to FB and tell people to look for me doing the wobble or cha cha slide but was always knee deep in a line dance. 


I went back to the room to change as I wanted to worship the sun gods a bit more. You know you have to go back to work with a tan so everyone ask where you went LOL.

So I changed into my suit and left the guys.. SNOOZING!

Im Hungry (maybe a lil thirsty too!)

I had book reservation at the Steakhouse for all 4 of us tonight... but seeing as though the boys were ditching us ... again. We invited our new friends Pam & Gary to take the boys spot so after taking some pics we went down to there room to chat and have some wine, that they brought.

Then off to dinner we went.


Decisions, decisions... sorry my camera was already drunk from the pre dinner drinks we had in our friends room.

Our waitress was an adorable gal from Bulgaria I think. It was our 1st time in the steakhouse so she gave us a run down on what was in store.

Its a smaller area in the steakhouse but it was packed. With a couple large parties.

We started with a glass of wine, well all but E, who ordered... a Sprite LOL.. 

Out came my favorite, bread and different smears to add, of which I have forgotten what they were.

The "rule" is at the steakhouse you get a salad, an app and 1 entree and dessert. But you can sub your salad for 2 apps, and thats just what all of us did... except E lol.

Gary had the baked Onion soup I think... maybe lobster bisque? Looks more like potatoe to me.


Pam had the Tuna Tartare


I had the crab cake (it was dry but had good taste)


E also had the ceasar salad. This boy never strays far from the menu lol.


E also had the shimp cocktail, of which I ate most of it for him.


I dont even remember what this was? Also I had the escargot... it was so much better than in the main dinning room. It was delish, where as the MDR is really oily and greasy.


on to the main course... man this camera needs to lay off the drinks. E had the Cowboy steak 18oz of meat... cooked well (seriously he ruins good meat LOL) Thankfully the chef must have known better and made it Med-Well... a bit better.

I had the Filet Mignon 9oz of medium rare melt in your mouth goodness! I believe Gary and Pam had the surf and turf, and rib eye all which looked yummy.

For sides, E and I shared a baked potatoe and wasabe horseradish mashed potatoes. We both did not care for the mashed taters.

The piece de resistance! Dessert time 


E was ubber sad not to have a WCMC on the menu. So he didnt want anything...but I made him order the cheesecake... with a side of sprite LOL.

I got the chocolate sampler, and it was just heaven in my mouth! Every single thing was good. But sadly I dont remember what each was. It was seriously melt in your mouth great.

After we were all stuffed to the gills, we waddled next door to catch the 11pm comedy show.  We walked in semi later but still found 4 seats together near the front left. The guys both stated the seats were so comfy they may fall asleep after all the food. But we soon were laughing our booties off. Sad to say I never got a pic of all 4of us together.. guess that means we need to cruise together again sometime!

After the show we parted ways, I put E to bed and changed over into jeans.

Got my glowsticks out and a tiara, as tonight was girls night. A bunch of gals from our cruise thread had planned to meet up and bar hot. I had missed part of it since having dinner and the show. But used the hub app to find out they were in the piano bar. 

By the time I got there the 4 lone survivors stated everyone else (well the other 4 LOL) had long gone to bed after the 1st 2 stops.. what? But we kept the party going for another 2hours just chatting. 


When everyone was ready to call it a night, I want to walk around the quiet ship, then grabbed one piece of pizza before heading to bed. While up there J and his friends were doing the same, and he said Hi and I rememinded him he had 30mins till it was time to head in. As I was on my walk back to the room, P was up on the sports deck having a late night game of barefoot soccer. He pretended not to know me.... teenagers. 

Eventually they made their way back to the room and it was lights out.
