Kind of wondering if we should have actually put it in Output or somethingâthe Axe was the obvious place since thatâs where Goings On is, but it would be nice to look back on this in a year or two. I might move it in a few days; if anybody doesnât want their posts included, please let me know and I can delete them when that happens

After we dragged ourselves out of bed this morning and down to an early breakfast, we had a galley tour thanks to our head waiterâs invitation. I took some pics that will probably mean more to anyone who has ever worked in a professional kitchen:
I guess I only took three! Anyway, hereâs the dining room again, because I realized that the second (and third??) levels have these weird islands around the open-air column that I had previously miscounted; I thought there was one, but there were two. Not sure how well it comes across in the photos.
I do not remember the context of this photo:
They set up this weird little archery game that was mainly notable to me because it featured heavily in the training videos I had to watch shortly after I was hired two years ago about activities at sea for kids and teens. I didnât realize targets were actually hovering tee-balls until I saw the event in-person.
On our walk back from our morning activities, we finally saw the life vessels on deck five:
â387â is one of my lucky numbers, in that its always 3 of my 4 digits in Cactpot drawings in FFXIV, so if they ever actually draw 3874 or whatever on a week when Iâve picked that number, it will mean that Iâm finally lucky.
Finally, an important reminder:

I just needed to see it bigger than in the upload preview: this is the karaoke lounge where they held movie trivia today! It was stuffy as hell in there; we stayed in the entrance where there was a breeze sometimes. Theyâd put a gif of a movie scene up, and you needed to provide actor and film title; repeat for a total of 30 questions. Our team got a perfect score because of @familyjules.

CRUISE TRAVEL UPDATE: we have been at this airport for almost seven hours, I think?? And our flight is changing from nonstop to possibly a connection for some reason with a 12+ hour layover??? Gonna notify my employer I think???

Did the galley tour include a view of the enormous mixer where they prepare the butter sauce for the escargot?
And did you ask the tour guide whether youâd get to see the brig or the morgue? The best you can hope for is only vague acknowledgement that those things exist, unfortunately. But theyâd be important locations if a Silent Hill game were to take place on a cruise ship.

Considering how Silent Hill recontextualizes otherwise commonplace areas, a cruise ship would be a 100% appropriate area for a Silent Hill game, particularly since the unmarked crew areas would have to be drawn into the map in the same way as they did with the mall backrooms in 3. I doubt the brig or morgue would be included in the Behind the Scenes tour we want to take next time we take a cruise, but one can hope.

I am 100% serious about wanting to do the icon of the seas btw, I am down to plan this at any time

Iâm probably up for this discussion at some point, but Iâm going to have to figure out how my employee discount options actually work / review available vacation days / stop feeling like my apartment is rocking, for some reason. Plus, in our absence the cats seem to have established new social orders and zones of control, so we need to put our house in order. Still, a great trip and itâs something Iâm more open to repeating than I expected!

Yeah the whole sea legs thing is wild. We were both sitting in the airport and it felt like we were still on the ship.
But overall Iâd say I at least was bitten by the cruise bug.

I think the flight helped a lot, or that is my assumption since I havenât really noticed it since we got back to Philly.

Their Speedfreaks must have a better standing than the rest of the world, i guess?
(Also, that map is kinda cool, didnât know there are a handful of places in Yurop where you can AX to your hearts content!

OH NO: while I normally wear my mask the entire time Iâm in an airport/on a plane, I couldnât figure out where it had gotten to when we were packing up to come back home. Foolishly, I didnât take the time to search everything and find it, and instead went maskless for the entire trip home. Last night I started feeling a little prickliness in my sinus, and today I have full-blown upper respiratory infection symptoms.
