Happy St. Patrick's Day And Travel Tuesday

 

Grateful for AI hats! Lady does not have St. Pat's Hats (yet)

Now on to some ship life.

On this trip, Man and I upgraded to the Yacht Club. This is a private part of the ship, where you have a Butler and private dining room, lounge, priority access to things. The services is fantastic and now I have done this, being in "Gen Pop" as we called those who were in regular rooms. I really value comfort when I travel (especially as I age) and would rather travel less and travel "better". Although I will admit to struggling some with the privilege, but if I am honest, everyone who is on the ship as a guest has a certain level of privilege. 

In our upgrade, we kept an inside room, which is honestly ok with us, as we don't spend a lot of extra time in the room. 

Our days looked like this.

Get up, get dressed, have breakfast, go on an adventure (even our sea day we did a behind the scenes tour), if we haven't eaten, lunch, then spa or pool, a nap, snacks and drinks before dinner, dinner, show, taking the evening air, bed. Repeat.

Afternoon tea with fancy potato chips

In the private lounge

More snack, you may be picking up on a theme.

The shows (minus one) were very good. No pictures as we respect the rules to not photograph. For a small fee, they had 2 40 minute cirque du soleil type shows we loved. 

We also took in a couple fun events.

We went to a silent disco, which was not that silent as everyone was sooooo loud lol. 

We went to a white party, where everyone was wearing white. 

We had a robot make us a drink (it needed human help and took over 3 minutes, so robots won't be replacing us for this kind of task for awhile).

And then there is the food. So much, really, really good food. So many pictures of food. Here is a tiny sample.

Every meal was presented like this. 

If I didn't like any of the er the appetizers, I would order the cheese plate (always on the dessert menu). This one, was made extra fancy when the manager realized I was taking pictures of it, he removed it and came back with it with more fruit. 

One of the speciality restaurants (you pay extra for), was Hola Tacos. As tacos are one of the Man's favourite foods, we went for all you can eat tacos. 

Man packed both his taco shirts, so I could wear one. 

Tacos, round one!

That is a tiny sample of ship life. Next week we will wrap the trip up with a tour we did in Martinique before heading home.

Styx asked me to remind everyone he has a contest, you can read about HERE.
