Maybe I have!

What was it like, walking on powdered sugar?

Yes. The island isn’t like Castaway. Other ships have private areas, too.

I can't disagree! And she makes it look so effortless!

That was their season opener - just an away comp for OSU - this was the first at home! We get to go see OSU again next month and are so excited!

Here's my confession... I am so NOT into Tiffany or Debbie Gibson. I know ONE song Tiffany sings. And I had heard names of Debbie Gibson songs, but can't sing them. I just kind of chilled and watch them perform but didn't know their stuff. I knew everything else though!

Pretty sure my first CD ever was NKOTB! I got that, Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul all around the same time. And I totally rocked the CD player through the cassette thing, too! I was, of course, made fun of for that. But whatever, I had a working car and I had music, so that was a win! NKOTB has a cover band??

I think my first CD was Boston Third Stage. Hey I couldn't resist, they aged...I liked their teen voices better and hearing them sing now does not seem right

Thanks for watching and sharing all those fun memories! It was such a fun time, right?!?

OMG thank you so much!

Reach for the Goal

Thats fun I don't go to that competition

What score did u get

8.55. Very happy with the results! Favorite event!

@RondaRae congratulations on that score. What would you say your best event is

OMG it was so awesome! I cut a lot out just because of time - it was quite lengthy. We also go evacuated on Runaway Railway last month!

​@@RondaRaecool! Good video btw! :D

I loved that part, too! I used to hurry hike from school every day to watch it. It was my favorite!

Thank you so much! This was a fun one to make, I LOVE this song!

Shawn is always such a wimp about the water. We have a pool at home and he never goes in! The tide was out so the water was so dang low, so that's how we did the snorkeling so easy without actual snorkel gear, aside from required vests. There were a lot of times we were able to stand and walk a bit. Last time I did that it was much deeper and I was exhausted by the time we got done.

I had a medical alert bracelet I wear at home if I'm feeling really bad - because I'm sure I do look drunk to people that don't know what I'm actually dealing with. I figure if something does happen they can at least see I do have an issue and I'm not getting drunk at work. Heck, the only times I drink you see on the vlog because its on a cruise or Vegas!

They did have them stocked this second time through. On the first stop I even took it upon myself to open their cabinets to see if I could stock it for them, and it was bone dry in there! Fortunately it had all the super cold water, and thankfully I still had my cup!

Bone's aren't aways dry, the bones inside our bodies are made up of 31% water lol

They have a huge play area at Scuttle's Cove to make up for the Oceaneer Club/Lab - but nothing nursery related. And then that structure we always swim by is for kids only. I've seen adults try to climb up and they get kicked off. Adults can do the slides though - just not the rope stuff that Katura really likes.

Putting up a tree? I'm lost - help me :)

"So when we were here on Monday I noticed there was no Christmas tree and on our first Merrytime sailing there was a gigantic tree right here so I was hoping maybe it would appear while we were gone but no there's no tree right here, bummer. Pluto's hanging out at the post office this morning."

I didn't eat the flower. I didn't even finish my dessert. And it was this butterfly thing that you twist a bunch, then when you let go it takes off flying. That sucker went pretty far a few times!

There was no way I could omit it. It was very me!

I feel like I ate a bit of everything on that plate. I wanted to eat it all but ran out of room in my tummy. I still keep thinking about it and how delicious it was.

Yeah, they were so accommodating. We knew it wouldn't be fast food, but we didn't know his dessert alone would be 30 minutes to prepare! For me this was a one and done, but I'm glad we did it.

I wanted brunch. The thing with this sailing was it was such a coveted itinerary that it was full of Pearls. I was online immediately at my booking time for Platinum cruisers at all of Palo Brunch was full. Nothing ever opened for us to get a spot, so we decided to just give dinner a try. It was definitely nice, but maybe too fancy and quiet for me. I like to be able to laugh - or dump a drink down my dress - and not feel weird about it.

I bet if you would have talked to the right people it could have happened, people cancel stuff all the time.

I didn't end up trying any of them. I think most of them were tested before we got off the ship, but nothing 100% consumed.

This is so funny - I take home extra sheets, too! My sad wreathe didn't even survive. I took it out of my travel folder just last week and most of my confetti had fallen off already.

I also have a travel folder, keep it in my CPAP or laptop bag so it is always kept flat. Doesn't that mean you get to make it all over again just with the proper glue this time and maybe take the time to cut out the Mickey "berries"

You are very welcome! I had no idea what to expect, and I found it to be so fun!

When you do go I want to hear what you think! Obviously I loved it!

Very different, but still very fun. Complete opposite approaches, so then we learned unique things from each of them. My goal is to do it on the Treasure, too, to see how that one compares!

@ same. I’m done it on all ships. I love when they print out recipes and let you keep them then it’s been great

@@marla07860 Oh my gosh printed recipes sound awesome!! We did end up going back to Meridian to get one of the drinks from mixology to take to Palo with us for dinner. But, especially after all the mixology drinks, I can't remember ingredients, so I definitely couldn't even try to recreate any at home!

@ not all do it, a few do, one wrote it on a slip and we all took pictures. Sam gave me the recipes he had when I closed the bar down each night

TT65 is the one we did. We sail the Treasure in August 2025, too! But this time we hit the western route, so no Jost Van Dyke for us sadly, I hope you have the best time. I've done that same one twice and would totally do it again without a doubt!

I finished all of MINE! Shawn failed. I should have had the extra one that wasn’t touched at our blank seat.

@ Lordy. There was another full I touched glass? You guys owe me a champagne

Isn't it the cutest?!? We were talking today about how we liked this so much better than the holiday show at Jollywood. My daughter said "It's because everything is better on the cruise!"

You sure can! It was so nice to have zero stress of packing things on the final night of the first cruise. They said if you do change rooms they will move your luggage for you.

Have fun! I was just there again a couple weeks ago - found some awesome affordable jewelry at those port shops, so hit that up and keep your eyes open!!

They are all so fun!

Do you mean at dinner? We suspected people may have been having dinner at Remy or Palo. This sailing was very full of Pearl and Platinum guests, which means free dinners at those locations. And at the show it wasn't super crowded where I was because I was sitting on the floor and right by the wheelchair area that did not fill all the way. So it felt very open for me, thank goodness.

I freaking LOVE that movie so much!! I quote that particular scene way too often.

It is a good movie, as I was watching it I remembered when I watched it I was still a kid.

@@brianpettit8951 When I was at comic con a few years ago I met Tim Curry. When I was in line for my photo with him this whole group went by dressed as all of the Clue characters. Their costumes were spot on. It was so impressive!

I noticed that, too. I'm going to look at photos from after all of that to see if they fixed it.

I'm editing a video and I see they DID fix the tree!

Good luck, have fun!

Actually, as I type this the holiday party is uploading. They had a Christmas themed show on our sea day with their holiday attire!
