Goodbye Vegas, it's been emotional
11 November 2015, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Well this is our third time in Vegas, and definitely the last.
The first time we didn't like it, so we came a second time to make sure we didn't, and this third time confirmed it.
Las Vegas is what it is, it does what it does, and very well I might add.
But it's not for me, it's just too in your face.
It's a place where you've got to come at least once in your life, there's just no where else like it.
But as the title says been there done that even got the T-shirt.
So thank you Las Vegas it's been a blast, but it's a good night and a good bye from me.Baca selengkapnya

Final night in Vegas
10 November 2015, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
We decided to go for a pizza last night, so we all wandered down to New York New York and had a look around in there.
We found a great pizza place, just like in the Big Apple itself, well almost.
It cost $27 for a pizza approximately the size of the Colosseum in Rome.
Which easily fed all four of us, with enough left for breakfast, if we'd wanted.
The 4 drinks I got from the Irish bar across the road were almost twice the price, but hey this is Vegas.Baca selengkapnya

Ride the Duce
8 November 2015, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
By far the best way to get around Las Vegas, and especially the Strip, is to ride the local bus service called the Duce.
It runs up and down the strip every 15 minutes with bus stops every quarter mile.
There is also a strip and downtown express service, the SDX, which runs a slightly different route. There are also cross routes for different parts of Vegas.
The cost of this brilliant bus service is only $6 for a two hour unlimited ride ticket, $8 for a 24 hour unlimited ride ticket, or $20 for a 3 day unlimited ride ticket.
To me that represents great value, as walking around Vegas can be very tiring, especially for an old fart like moi.
There is also the overhead monorail train which is good but a little bit more expensive than the Duce and not near as much fun.
Oh I forgot to mention the free monorail between the Monte Carlo hotel and the Bellagio hotel.
Which as I said is free, but the distance you have to walk through the Bellagio when you arrive, to the strip is probably the same as the distance between the two hotels, because don't forget these hotels in Vegas are huge.Baca selengkapnya

Las Vegas NV. Divas
7 November 2015, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
We all planned to do a show whilst we were in Las Vegas and wanted to see Diana Ross, but the only tickets we could get were sitting right at the back of the theatre, and were about $180 each.
So we decided to try out the Frank Marino, Divas Show at the Linq; it's a tribute show to all the showbiz divas.
So instead of just Diana, we got Whitney, Liza, Celine, Dolly, Cher and Shania, to name but a few.
The show was hosted by Frank Marino, as the hilarious, Joan Rivers, whose costume changes where many and amazing.
Some of the tributes were send ups such as the brilliant Single Ladies sketch with Beyonce.
Others where proper tributes, such as Cher and Shania, who looked so good you had to do a double take.
Then we had Britney, Reba, Madonna, Liza and Diana the list is endless.
We had front row seats and an amazingly entertaining night.Baca selengkapnya

Las Vegas NV. Bagged a suite woo hoo!
5 November 2015, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
Well to be honest it's all down to Maz.
He's been saying all week that the Royal Crown and Anchor society have a deal with MGM for diamond and above members, for complimentary room upgrades.
So when we got to the hotel, I thought no more about it and just booked in for our standard room on the 21st floor.
We had to wait for Maz and Sue for about 10 mins, while they appeared to be chatting with the guy booking them in.
So when they finally came over to us, I said was there a problem with their check in?
No says Maz with a big grin on his face, I've just got a free upgrade to a suite on the 4th floor.
So naturally I went back to check in to try my luck, and to cut a long story very short, bingo! We upgraded to a suite on the 4th floor too, all compliments of good old Royal Caribbean!
As I said, Maz had been banging on about this all week, but none of us really took him on, I thought, yeah, it says that in the leaflet, but try asking for it and it will be a waste of time, the hotel will just make excuses, and say there are no upgrades available. Well how wrong I was, well done Maz, you're a star.
On this trip up to now, we've had a free meal in the most expensive restaurant on the ship, finally won a progressive quiz, and got a free upgrade to a suite in the hotel.
Might be time for a little dabble in the casino.
I'll let you know, lol.
By the way the hotel is the Monte Carlo, right on the strip, couldn't be better.Baca selengkapnya

Finally!!!
4 November 2015, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ 🌧 13 °C
Well we finally won a progressive quiz.
We've won music and general knowledge quizzes before, but never a progressive quiz.
Or as a friend of mine Lynn calls it the progressive aggressive quiz. Although this one wasn't that aggressive it was quite friendly, and definitely good fun.
If any of you have done Joffs progressive quiz on the Independence of the seas, this one on here run by the cruise director Luke Aerosmith, (What a cool name) is on the same lines.
Some of the questions are very off the wall and you have to listen carefully and think very laterally.
Anyway here is a pic of the fantastic first prize for over 4 hours of quizzing, we got one each! Obviously all expense spared, lol. If you would like to come and see it, email me and I'll book you an appointment, but be quick as I think I'll get booked up really quickly.
Ps, the first 500 applicants will be allowed to touch it!
And maybe even the keyring too. Baca selengkapnya

More cuts
4 November 2015, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ 🌧 13 °C
We four booked Devinly Decadence for our evening meal.
Although the food was good, they've down graded the menu.
Last time we were on board Anthem the surf and turf on the menu have lobster tails, which they have taken off and replaced with king prawns.
Now don't get me wrong, king prawns are nice, but they are a bit of a come down from lobster tails.
End of moan lolBaca selengkapnya

Lights out!!
2 November 2015, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ 🌧 13 °C
At breakfast yesterday the full rear end of the ship, Ok the aft section to give it it's correct name, was plunged in to darkness as all the electrics failed.
Well to be honest it wasn't darkness, as it was about 8.30am but the ship did loose all electric power in the aft section.
There must have been quite a few people scared and panicking at being in a very rough Atlantic and the ship losing power, as the Captain made a number of announcements telling people not to worry and that everything was under control.
It only took about 15 minutes to sort out, but it was probably not the best kind of excitement to experience in a rough north Atlantic.Baca selengkapnya
