Market Friday gets the Royal Treatment
Edit: Apologies! I went to schedule the post for Friday morning as I will be out of town that day and I posted it for Thursday morning instead! No worries and we'll have #MarketFriday per our regular schedule.
Are you ready? Life preservers packed? Let's go!!
The first time I saw a car parked on the promenade of a ship, I couldn't believe my eyes. Why? Well, it does make a nice addition to the photo ops around and quite nice to be sure. No, I didn't. If I wasn't driving it, I wasn't faking it. To be clear, the promenade is the wide boulevard or main walkway where people stroll. It is usually the widest part of the ship, as far as boardwalks.
And even if this wasn't the Swarovski Crystal staircase that they had on the MSC Cruiselines, it is beautiful.
But first, a flower. Always a flower.
May I gaze upon you, always and a day?
There are cooking classes at many different times during the cruises. They try to please every person's wants and needs. You can learn to make sushi, decorate cakes and many other delectable delicacies. If you are lucky, you get selected from the audience and get an up-close and personal demonstration.
But, then again...
Sometimes everyone is part of the class. It depends on what they are doing, such as sushi! Everyone gets to make their own roll!
They brought me to places where palm rule supreme, throwing a coconut or two my way. The epitome of tropical paradise. Yes, please.
Alices' Wonderland is an eclectic restaurant with exotic tastes. Here is a sample of the Menu:
FIRE - Emanating wonderful warmth
Buffalo Chicken Eggs
Smoke, blue cheese & hot sauce
Shrimp Kataifi
Crispy crumb, scotch bonnet
Wonton Soup
Jelly, noodles
SEA - Oceanic inspirations from the tide of the imagination
Liquid Lobster
Bone marrow & caviar
Halibut cooked in clear paper
Mushrooms, potato & bacon
Branzino in Crispy Bread
Tamarind spice emulsion
Here!
And here. All sorts of beautiful spaces created to bask in its peaceful surroundings.
CUE THE MUSIC MAESTRO!!

We'll let Lorde sing about Royal. I probably could have chosen better, but, I couldn't resist the urge to pair Lorde's song Royals with Royal Caribbean.

Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Because of you, I come back to post, again and again, Some days, it is not as easy to see, how wonderful our world really is. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do. they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"warsan shire

Have an amazing weekend x

Haha! That is pretty unfair, isn't it? :) They do happen to serve some pretty awesome dinners and lunches and breakfasts... Oh, it is all good. Nothing wrong with a little bit of being spoiled, even if it is only for a moment or two.
How are you and is that baby getting closer to coming? I think you said summer, though, right? Have you and the little lady gotten any closer to being
friendscivil to one another? I hope she can see the error of her ways. Oh! Boy or girl???I love getting your always eclectic and wonderful posts. Thanks for dropping the link! Kiss South Africa for me!

Hey my friend ... well I decided if I need peace as my landlord says do you want to be right or do you want peace? So basically i pay and comply to her every demand albeit mistakes.. She screws up and still blames me.. such a joke. None the less if i cant change the situation, change my attitude towards it and I have!
Hes a boy and he is here in 3- 4 weeks my last post I posted pics of his scan... x x

Cruising is the best. I'm planning a trans-Atlantic next November from Italy to Florida, it should be amazing!
Until then.....here is a market from Can Tho Vietnam.

The Trans-Atlantics are nice, especially if it is a ship with a lot of entertainment or you really want some R&R.
Which cruise line are you going with?
Thanks for being a part of #MarketFriday and for dropping the link!

Not sure, it will be one of the cheaper ones, which are still great in my opinion. Probably Royal Caribbean or Carnival. But for 2 weeks, all you can eat, and get from Europe to Florida for about $600 including rent! That budget travel at it's best! hahaha. They offer some incredible deals. If I flew, stayed in a hotel, and ate out, those two weeks would cost me way more money anyway.

Fantastic cruise experience!
I would gain several kilos on this trip!
Love to touch those floating rocks. They look huge and heavy. Cooking classes would come in handy too.
It is really hard to maintain one's current weight with all the food they serve you. They always give me more than what I ask for, but, I do not like the waste.
Oh, the geodes are really gorgeous, aren't they? I purposely take that set of stairs so I can see them. :) Sorry to post #MarketFriday early. It was an error! But, now it is done. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by the challenge!
#MarketFriday loves you!

It’s okay to post a few hours early as time is relative! Your post is just on time according to the clock on Venus.
Good thing! There are four swimming pools and walking tracks on the cruise! It woujd be nice to be able to learn to cook and to make bread in cooking classes. Oh! I would not mind taking a crashed course on Chinese language during a cruise!
Thanks ever so much for your kindness!
Best!
They have all of these things! I even learned how to do sushi there. Haha! It was more like a day and a half early and I was afraid some people would miss it. But, I should know better because everyone comes even if I am not here.
Thank goodness for Venus! That makes me feel so much better! :)
I hope you are having a great day!
#MarketFriday still loves you!

Wow ! The Royal Caribbean !!
I've never been on a cruise before, maybe cos I don't really like water all around me. A feeling of drowning isn't one that I fully enjoy.
But I can see that maybe I should re consider this idea
Hi @ireenchew! Oh, I know a lot of people feel that way, but, when you are on a ship that is bigger than most pieces of real estate, it changes how you feel, in most cases.
You don't actually even feel like you are off the land. It is a nice way to enjoy an all-inclusive getaway while being pampered in a style that I could become accustomed to. LOL Just kidding, but, they are nice once in a while!
You should reconsider it. If only for a moment or three. Thanks for stopping by and saying hello! Always good to see you!

This cruise ship looks amazing. The staircase and food especially.
I can't help but notice that the swimming pool is shaped like a toilet seat. I wonder if this was intentional, lol?
Hahaha! OMG! Until you said that, I never even noticed it! But, now that you mention it, do you think that secretly, the architect laughs every time he thinks about it? I have to wonder.
The ship is amazing, but, I will never be able to go into that specific pool again. All that keeps running through my head is this #toiletthursday post here.I couldn't resist. It was riveting. Thanks for stopping by and pointing out the obvious, although not to me!!!
