Blue Lagoon Island

[Kendall James-Vargas]

All excursions in Blue Lagoon Island have been suspended through November 23 due to a fatal RCL incident that caused a boat to overturn on November 14. This horrid experience turned fatal for a 75-year-old female RCL cruise guest. Has anyone been to Blue Lagoon Island? I can't imagine being put in such an unsafe position.

If I am guaranteed to see Brooke Shields, sign me up for the Blue Lagoon excursion, regardless of the weather!

@FJB You sound like one of her biggest fans! There isn't a person in the world who could get me to go on an excursion with them if it was a risk. The question is really, why did the excursion continue despite the poor weather conditions? That's an awfully poor judgment call that ended in true disaster.

@FJB I tend to agree with you there. If Emilia Clarke was anywhere near the scene, I'd be swimming my way over to her.

@LukeJ We have some groupies in the group! I'm assuming you are a Game of Thrones fan. Have you seen the Game of Thrones cruise? Last year in August, there was a Game of Thrones-themed itinerary that visited some filming sights in Europe, and offered interactive tours that included opportunities to sit on the Iron Throne. It would have been even more epic if Emilia Clarke was to make a surprise appearance onboard!

@Kendall James-Vargas very good point. Actually I have not seen games of thrones, I have no idea why. As people say to me, it has Emilia Clarke and dragons, so what's the problem. I have never ever seen anything that she's been in if I'm honest. 

[Kendall James-Vargas]

@LukeJ That's wild! I would have assumed you have seen at least one film with her featured in it. You really should give Game of Thrones a try if you are such a fan. Is that series not your favorite type of film? I'm not big into film at all, but when I have the spare time I usually opt for comedy. If anything at all you could just put Game of Thrones on mute and just watch your favorite character in action.

I’m old - I’ve never heard of Emilia Clarke and I’ve never watched Game of Thrones.  But I do feel like king of the throne after eating Mexican food….

[LukeJ]

@FJB that made me laugh. Very good name that I will remember next time I have Mexican food. @Kendall James-Vargas I took your advice, and watched the first episode of games of thrones. I thought I may as well watch one thing she has been in at least, and well.. 😍🫣😳 I wasn't expecting to see as much of her as I thought.

@FJB The King of the Throne is hilarious. That was the best post I have read all week. My husband would say the exact same thing so it is very relatable! The funny thing about it is that my husband will still opt for Mexican food on any given day. It's one of his favorite cuisines and can eat it all the time. Sometimes I think he secretly enjoys the "throne." It's his favorite way to escape me and the kids!

I’m not a fan of Mexican food.  I’ve always said there is only 3 or 4 pots of food in the kitchen of a Mexican restaurant.  Depending on what you order depends on what pots they dip from. 
 

I’ll have the #14 - ok that’s one scoop from pot 2,  two scoops from pot 3, and a scoop from #4. 
oh you want #33 - that’s one scoop each from pot 1,2, & 3.

@FJBI see the validity of what you are saying, but my family and I still love Mexican food. I prefer authentic Mexican food, and the three to four pots of food idea doesn't necessarily resonate with me. Chipotle and Moes are different stories. Authentic Mexican food has so much flavor and no two meals are the same. The protein options (typically meat) are usually fewer, but they are utilized in a variety of ways! Also, you can't go wrong with chips and salsa. Do you agree with that?
