Day 5

Barbados Another day of just walking around the port. We've been to Barbados before and we like the island. The last time we were here was in 2014. We outside of the port and found a place where they made tobaccos/cigars. It was interesting but I don't remember if Rick bought any. After that, we found a bar outside the port that also sold fried flying fish and Jamaican beef patties. So, let's see what today brings.  It is 5:42am and Rick is still sleeping. The water has been very rough. To the point where I even started to feel sea sick. However, I found this oil in the ship's gift shop that works wonders. It's a little pricey but worth the money. It's called Motion Eze and smells like Eucalyptus. You just put 2 drops on your finger and rub it behind your eyes. Within 5 minutes, your motion sickness is gone. Here is what it looks like. The good thing about this is it doesn't make you drowsy 💤, and it smells good. Last night we had dinner at Chops and the Filipino chef came up to me and said that he heard I like garlic fried rice for breakfast so he said he would make me some Longsilog for breakfast today. Looking forward to breakfast.  11:52am - we just came back up from shopping in Barbados and had my Jamaican Beef Patty and Fried Flying Fish. Yum! So once we returned to the ship we decided to play a round of 9 hole miniature golf. It's 4:00pm and almost time to have cocktails in the Concierge's Lounge.

Day 4

We had a great time yesterday. A few of usage signed up for Sushi Making class. Here is what. I made. We got to eat what I made. Today all we did was walk around the port.  Nothing really to do. We've been here before. Today's lunch was on the ship. I had Rice, pork schnitzel, and New York steak.

Day 3

Another day at sea. It is still rough out there.  It is supposed to be calmer around noon. Rick and I signed up for sushi rolling class.  Then, you get to eat the sushi you rolled, yum.  Here are some pictures from our dinner last night. We had our thank you party yesterday too.  It was great. I think everyone had a good time. We had a care for three celebrations. Birthday, Anniversary and Retirement.

Day 1

March 6 - It's finally here! We will be heading to the port in a few hours and I will be adding to this blog section today.  When we check in the person checking us in, will call the Concierge on the ship to tell him we are here. He will come down to pick us up and he will escort me and Rick up to board the ship before everyone else boards. Lunch in the Serenade of the Seas. Muster station Drill is done.  They started at 3:15pm. Two of 5 bags that were checked in are under in. Rick is unpacking now.

1Day before sailing 

We finally landed in Atlanta. Slept most of the flight but just could not get comfortable. Even first class seats are uncomfortable 😣 for the butt. As you can see from the picture below that Rick took below that I was startto get tired. Oh wait, here are all the suitcases. Now, we're having some bagels in the Sky Club.  Since the flight was a red eye they did not serve any meals.  Next flight is in 2 hrs. Might ass well relax for a little bit. I just have to share this. One of the guys that is going on the cruise with us created thus pictures. As some of you know I own Perfect Cruise.  Thanks Kevin! This is great! On to Ft. Lauderdale! Finally boarded. Bloody Mary. Less Mary and more Bloody. We are finally in our room. It's hard when you are no longer one of Hilton's precious gem (Diamond). We waited from10am to 4pm before the room was ready.

2 days Before sailing 

2:39am - 2 days before sailing and still too many things to do. Our flight leaves at 11:30pm tonight. We have a haircut appointment at 8:00am, I still have to buy my Mom's meal for the week, meet with her caregiver and give her for my Mom's dinner for the following week. Do laundry and oh so much more to do. Our driver is picking us up at 8:30 tonight. I know I'll sleep on the plane. When we land in Atlanta, we're heading to the Sky Club for breakfast - Bloody Mary, less Bloody and more Merry 😂. 8am - it's time for our haircut. Getting some of the last minute errands done.  Next stop, DJs Bibinkahan to get my Mom's meal for the week. 6:30pm and we are starting dressed and ready to head out to the airport.  The driver will pick us up at 8:30pm.  My understanding is that it  has been in the 70s to 80s in Ft. Lauderdale. Since we're flying the red eye they won't serve dinner so, I guess I should find something to eat.  Suitcases are packed! See you tomorrow!
