Day 2: Bionic Bar !



Day 2 Sea Legs ? Bionic Bar!

So what to do on a ship heading to Florida and it's only 66 degrees out ? Sleep late ...

Just made breakfast at 11 and trying to find bacon..bacon ..bacon .. Gotta get up earlier tomorrow to not get the leftovers .

Still sitting in the windjammer and lunch is being served . It's 54 degrees . Not warm enough for the pool .. But you should see folks in bathing suits smh and in the pool . The Solarium is the space for adults only but apparently on this cruise kids are allowed and the retractable roof is closed. Oh well . Must retreat to more peaceful space .

No agenda today ...

Seems our cabin steward Rowena always lets herself in stands there going "I knocked " since we never hear her. Lol
( too much alcohol will do that.) she is so nice though ! Bs he was bringing bestie's dry cleaning back to which I forgot to do . And no it's not free . But my whites are sooooo white when they dry clean them ....

We set out to explore the ship. But before that right after breakfast we head to deck 15 and it's actually beautiful out! Folks out in bathing suits .. It's 65 degrees ... After walking around the length of the ship.. Bumper cars on board, flight simulator , rock climbing wall , flow rider (surfing) the sea plex is a gym .. Basketball and Xbox.. And this huge pink polar bear . Why ? I have no clue . Seems to be art . Talk about activities .

Booked my expensive hot stone massage ... But NYC prices are the same so I'm not complaining . I will review it later . I'm psyched ! My first since surgery .

I took a moment to enjoy my balcony; looking out over the water I just felt so grateful. I can't or won't complain . I know I have it better than some . I'm blessed and grateful that I'm here after my accident months ago .

Walked the length of the ship outside and took plenty of pics .

Made a stop at the Bionic Bar .. What a concept ! What looks like a bionic arm makes your drinks and they slide to you ! The best part is as you create your drink, there's an electronic board that lists your drink and the ingredients .. And your name . Great for taking pics and memories !

OMG! You can order a standard pre-made drink or make your own .. Non-alcoholic drinks can be made too so the kids are loving it ! Well making my own drink was ah... Shall we say problematic and as I result way too many ! LOL

Off to get some lunch although it was late but needed something for all the consumed alcohol mid afternoon . (well what else do you do on a cruise?! )

I layer my head down for a hot minute and then it was dinner time . I Tried to change reservations since we went to Jamie Oliver's yesterday for lunch and couldn't do it so we were back here for dinner . It was ok . I've never had fresh ground black pepper that was soooo hot it made the food taste like heat ! We
already prepaid for this restaurant so I ate a little . Wasn't all that hungry after the late snack .

Did you know that ...Aretha Franklin sang Say a Little Prayer for You ? I didn't either .. LOL Maaaaannn playing female trivia and the song was "Say a Little Prayer For You" .. Every black person knows that's Dionne Warwick . SMH . We didn't win. But still .... Where's the Cruise Director ? What's bad was bestie went to mention it was wrong and was told "well that's what it says here ." Huh?

I was irritated the rest of the night LOL but laughed cause there sure wasn't many in the room who knew the right answer anyway !

On to the fresh Coconut Mojitos! Along with Vodka and wine earlier .. I need a detox from food and alcohol and it's only day 2 ..

In my favorite spot Boleros .. Chillin while my sis is in the casino ..

I love watching Latinos dance . Salsa , merengue and bachata tonight ....tired as hell and it's only 10:39pm.

More later ...
