Tonight’s theme was White Night so I donned my white top and skirt. It was cool seeing so many people dressed all in white around the ship.
Tonight we ate dinner at our assigned time of 6 PM in the main dining room.
I had a chicken curry dish,
and CSP had the fish. I can’t tell you what kind of fish it was because the menu just said “fish” but he says it was really good!
After dinner we went back to the lobby of the dining room to retrieve my scooter….and it was gone! Which was weird because I had the key the whole time! Earlier the lady sitting at the table to my right had her scooter delivered to the table by her server. I remember glancing over and thinking “That looks like my scooter. They must all look the same.” So we flagged down the maitre d and told him about my missing scooter and that we suspected the lady had it. Jacky, the maitre d, called the lady but she wasn’t in her room. He told us to go back to our room and wait on his call. That wasn’t going to work for us because we had show reservations shortly that I did not want to miss. Jacky called for a wheelchair but the guy who brought the wheelchair said he could only take me back to our room. So that wasn’t going to work. Then the guy who brought the wheelchair said, why don’t you just take her scooter until someone can get hold of her so you can swap scooters? I said will my key work on her scooter? Apparently they all use the same master key, so, spoiler alert, my key worked her scooter! I was so surprised, when I sat down on her scooter, that she didn’t notice that she had the wrong scooter! My scooter was red, her’s blue. My basket only had the charger in it, her’s had a bunch of stuff in the basket. Plus, they drove completely differently, in my opinion. Odd. So we agreed to take her scooter. We informed Jacky and set off to go to the show.
The show tonight was in Absolute Zero, the ice rink. On a ship. In the ocean. So wild!!! The name of the show is SOL. CSP was a bit dubious because he’s not a “show” guy. But I had a feeling this show was going to be amazing. We went to the entrance to the ice rink and the sweetest lady crew member asked if we wanted to leave the scooter in the lobby or keep it with us. At this point I wasn’t letting that scooter out of my sight! We told her the short version of what happened with the scooters so she said that she’d take us through the secret entrance so I could keep the scooter with us. We headed outside to the jogging track by the life boats.
These life boats are HUGE!!! They hold over 400 people in each one!
Amazing! We followed the crew member (I wish I remembered her name) into the seating area for the ice rink and took our seats.
We’d just ordered our drinks when CSP was going to check something out near the lobby area of the rink. I looked to my left when the doors we came through opened and who rolled in on my scooter? The lady from dinner!!! I started yelling for CSP and yelling “that’s my scooter!!!” LOL. Luckily CSP heard me and stopped short. He turned around just as I had hobbled over to the lady who was on my scooter and the nice crew lady who had escorted her to the rink, like she had done for us. Dinner Lady was looking so confused as to why I was yelling and pointing at her scooter! I explained the situation and Dinner Lady realized she had my scooter. We swapped scooters and sat back down to watch the show. What a debacle that was!!!
SOL is an incredible show! They project images onto the ice and utilize ramps and props throughout the show. Plus they have a killer soundtrack, including Beyonce’s Texas Hold Em. These skaters are EXCELLENT!!! Like Olympic quality.
I was so impressed, so impressed. Even CSP was floored by the talent on that ice.
The last segment of the show features Extreme Skaters who skate up and over ramps and do flips and stunts.
On ice skates! On a ship! In the ocean! Amazing!
After the SOL show we went to the Pearl Cafe.
The Pearl Cafe is one of many places on the ship where they have a Coca Cola Freestyle machine. We filled up our big reusable tumblers with ice and water and went back to our room to go to sleep. We had reservations at the comedy show, but it was so late and we were so tired we just called it a night, but not before we stopped for a photo op!
Look how long the hallways are- and we aren’t even standing at the end, this is mid ship!!! Luckily there is signage everywhere, because this ship is so big you could definitely get lost!
Tomorrow we dock at Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day at Coco Cay!
