Stam Family Happenings: Day 3- Lots To See and Do While at Sea

Of course the day started at the literal crack of dawn! The second that sun peeked out over the horizon, Ryker was up and ready to go! Jayden woke up soon after and played steward while the adults tried to wake up. Our amazing steward is Jomal, but J kept hearing us say “stewart”. He asked us countless times when we were going to call Stewart to come set up his bed. LOL after I explained his name was NOT Stewart but that his job is called steward. He decided to keep referring to him as Stewart. 😁 So now, we lovingly call our steward...Stewart.

Everyone who works on this cruise is so nice! And they do whatever they can to make sure people are comfortable. You can tell the ones who really enjoy their job. Many of them love to see Ryker and say hi because he blows them all kisses and waves. He’s like a celebrity on the ship.

Lido Deck worker took time to make this bird for the boys!

J loved it!

The food! The first thing people talk about when you tell them you are going on a cruise is the food. There is so much of it. All the time. Everywhere! Trenton is in heaven! Rob and Trenton jokingly decided at the beginning of the cruise they were going to have a contest to see who could gain the most weight. Trenton already pointed out to me that they have an attendant assigned to the section with bacon so people don’t take the whole tray. I didn’t want to tell him there is an attendant in every section. He would probably be the one to steal the bacon tray when the attendant looked away! Every time I run into one of my kids, they are eating an ice cream cone! Free ice cream anytime is quite the perk and definitely the favorite activity (???) so far!

Napping on the bench!

Late morning provided us with many activity options but the best one by far was the Eric Dodge country line dancing event. Friends and family gathered in the El Morocco Lounge to learn some popular line dances. It was entertaining and fun! We are looking forward to more Eric Dodge events on this cruise...especially since he is the reason we are all together on this cruise. 😁 Ryker was a little show off when we first went into the lounge. He ran through the room laughing the whole way like he owned the place. As soon as the event started though, he fell asleep on a bench and woke up two hours later! I’m happy he is wearing himself out!

We enjoyed lunch at the buffet when Ryker woke up. We were able to enjoy some time with our friends Teri and Pat. That was nice!

After a little break and a nap, we had dinner at the buffet. It was formal night in the dining room. People were looking fancy but the dressing up part just wasn’t for us. Casual is comfortable and dressing up six people is A LOT of work!

Later in the evening, we went to a comedy club called Punchliner Comedy Club and listened to comedian Richie Holliday. He was good! And family friendly!

Loving the show!

We also saw the evening show 80’s Pop To The Max in the Spectacular Theater. It was super cheesy but many of us (I will not name names!) were loving the music from the 80’s. The show was about thirty minutes long but packed with action, costumes, lights, and fog! Ryker clapped along and danced through the whole thing and was so cute, most of us were watching him instead of the show. 😂

Checking out the show!

Dessert and food were the priority on our way back to the room and then bed for the littles. The older two boys played hard in their kids clubs until 11 then headed back to the room to sleep.

We have already done SO much on this trip...I didn’t realize it until I started writing this post! I didn’t even write about all the other things the kids have done today like swim in the pool and play hide and seek on the boat. Tomorrow in Cabo promises to bring more adventures and excitement!

Until next time...
